Public Works Act 1981

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

39: Registration of middle line notice may be cancelled

You could also call this:

"You can no longer cancel a notice about where a road or railway will go"

You should know that the law about registering a middle line notice has changed. In the past, there was a rule that allowed the cancellation of a registered middle line notice. This rule was part of the Public Works Act 1981 and was used when defining the middle line of a road or railway. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 October 1991. The change was made as part of the Resource Management Act 1991.
