Land Act 1994

This section applies if there is a road within the external boundaries of the lease land of any of the existing leases.

The chief executive must consider—

whether the road is still needed for public use; and

if the road were to be closed—whether it should be included within the external boundaries of the lease land of the proposed amalgamated lease.

If the applicant or the chief executive proposes to close the road and include its area in the lease land of any amalgamated lease, the chief executive must—

seek the opinion of the relevant local government on the proposal; and

comply with chapter 4, part 1, division 2.
