Street closure
11 Street closure
Notwithstanding Part 5 of the Land Administration Act 1997 the City may prohibit or restrict thoroughfare in a street or public place in its district —
by causing fences and barriers to be placed on or across the street or public place; or
in any other manner,
if, and for such period as, the chief executive officer of the City considers that prohibition or restriction to be necessary or expedient for the implementation of the agreements.
Notwithstanding the Land Administration Act 1997 section 58(1) to (3) where it is necessary for the implementation of the agreements for a street that is dedicated to public use to be closed, otherwise than temporarily —
the City shall, when it considers the time appropriate, notify the Minister administering the Land Administration Act 1997 that the closure of the street should take effect; and
when the notification referred to in paragraph (a) has been given the Minister referred to in that paragraph shall lodge the relevant order with the Registrar of Titles for registration under the Transfer of Land Act 1893; and
the street shall be closed on and from the day that order is so registered.
The Land Administration Act 1997 section 58(4) applies to the closure of a street under subsection (2) of this section as if it were the closure of a road under that Act.
In this section —
public place means any place the public is allowed to use, including a street, a way, an alley or a court, whether or not the place is private property;
street means a thoroughfare as defined in section 1.4 of the Local Government Act 1995.
