Public Works Act 1981

Motorways

140: Power to make motorways

You could also call this:

“The government's power to build motorways is now in a different law”

If you wanted to know about the power to make motorways in New Zealand, this part of the law used to tell you about that. However, it has been removed from the law. This change happened on 1 October 1989. Now, if you want to know about how motorways are made, you need to look at a different law called the Government Roading Powers Act 1989.
