Roads Act 1993

The roads authority for a public road in which there are conduits for the carriage of utility services across the road may direct any person who is entitled to place utility services in, on or over the road—

to locate any new or replacement services in any such conduit, and

to pay to the roads authority such proportion as may be prescribed by the regulations of the costs incurred by the roads authority in connection with the construction of the conduit.

The direction may specify the manner in which or the standard to which the direction must be complied with.

A provision of an Act that authorises the provision of services in, on or over a public road does not authorise the provision of the services in contravention of this section.
