New Zealand law explained for everyone

Public Works Act 1981

Acquisition of land for public works - Defining middle line of road or railway

37: Land affected by middle line notice may be taken by Proclamation

You could also call this:

“The government could take land marked for new roads, but this rule no longer exists”

This part of the law used to explain how the government could take land that was affected by a middle line notice. A middle line notice is used to show where the centre of a new road or railway might go. However, this part of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 1 October 1991 when a new law called the Resource Management Act 1991 was introduced.
