Roads Act 1993

A roads authority may submit to the Minister a proposed plan for the widening of a public road.

Before doing so, the roads authority must cause notice of the proposed plan—

to be published in a local newspaper, and

to be served on the owner of any land to which the proposed plan applies.

The notice—

must identify the plan, and

must indicate the place at which, and the times during which, the plan is available for inspection by members of the public, and

must state that any person is entitled to make submissions to the Minister or to the roads authority with respect to the proposed plan, and

must indicate the manner in which, and the period (being at least 28 days) within which, any such submission should be made.

The roads authority must ensure that copies of the proposed plan are available for inspection by members of the public at the place, and during the times, specified in the notice.
