Public Works Act 1981

Motorways

138: Governor-General may authorise and declare motorways

You could also call this:

“Old rule: The Governor-General could say where motorways go”

The Governor-General could allow and declare motorways. This means they had the power to say where motorways could be built and officially announce them. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 October 1989.
