Public Works Act 1981

Roads

124: Minister may make roads and declare Government or district roads

You could also call this:

“Minister's old power to create and classify roads has been replaced”

The Minister used to have the power to make roads and decide if they were Government or district roads. This law was part of the Public Works Act 1981, but it’s not in effect anymore. The government removed this rule on 1 October 1989. Now, there are different laws that control how roads are made and managed in New Zealand.
