Roads Act 1993

This section applies to land vested in a council and forming part of a former public road.

Land to which this section applies is operational land for the purposes of the Local Government Act 1993 unless, before the land becomes vested in the council, the council resolves that it is to be community land, in which case the land is community land.

If the land is disposed of by sale, the proceeds of sale (less the costs of the sale) are to be paid to the council.

Money received by a council from the proceeds of sale of the land is not to be used by the council except for acquiring land for public roads or for carrying out road work on public roads.
