Roads Act 1993

On receiving the Minister’s approval to a proposed plan, the roads authority may give effect to the plan by means of an order published in the Gazette (in this Act referred to as a road widening order).

The order must describe the land to which it applies by reference to a survey plan.

The order takes effect on the date on which it is published in the Gazette.

The roads authority—

must cause a notice of the effect of the order on any land to be served on the owner of the land, and

must lodge the survey plan referred to in the order with the Registrar-General for registration, and

must lodge a copy of the survey plan with the Valuer-General and, if the authority is not a council, with the council concerned.
