Local Government Act 1974

Subdivision and development of land - General provisions

310: Contravention not to affect title to land

You could also call this:

"Breaking a rule doesn't change who owns the land"

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

If you break a rule in the Local Government Act 1974, it does not affect who owns a piece of land. You should know that this rule is about something called title to land, which is a legal way of saying who owns the land. This particular rule is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 1 October 1991 by section 362 of the Resource Management Act 1991.
