Public Works Act 1981

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

38: Middle line notice to lapse after certain period

You could also call this:

"Notice about road or railway middle line no longer used"

This section of the law is no longer in use. It was originally about defining the middle line of a road or railway, but it was removed from the law on 1 October 1991. The government decided it wasn't needed anymore, so they took it out of the Public Works Act 1981. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you might need to look at the Resource Management Act 1991.
