Declaration of State-controlled roads
24 Declaration of State-controlled roads
The Minister may, by gazette notice, declare a road or route, or part of a road or route, to be a State-controlled road.
Note—
See sections 84CB and 105JAB for the revocation of a declaration made under this subsection by the making of a declaration under section 84A(1) or 105H(3).
A declaration must be consistent with criteria about the declaration of State-controlled roads in the transport infrastructure strategies.
A declaration must enable the location of the road to be identified.
The location may be identified by specifying—
the starting and ending points of the road; and
the alignment of the road; and
the width of the road by reference to the constructed centre line of the road pavement or surface.
Unless otherwise specified in a declaration, the width of a State-controlled road through a State reserve, State forest, timber reserve, vacant State land or pastoral holding is 30m each side of the centre line of the trafficked route.
