Tourist railways
66A Tourist railways
If a railway or portion of a railway that is on Crown land is no longer required for use by the Authority, the Authority may request the Minister for Lands to make orders in respect of the land in accordance with subsection (2).
If requested under subsection (1) by the Authority to do so, the Minister for Lands is required to —
under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 50, order that any management order placing the land under the care, control, and management of the Authority is revoked; and
make an order under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 51 changing the purpose for which the land is reserved to the purposes of operating a tourist railway; and
under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 46, place the land under the care, control, and management of a person specified by the Authority in its request as the operator of the tourist railway.
Land in respect of which an order is made as required by subsection (2)(a) is not a government railway for the purposes of this Act.
If an order by which land is placed under the care, control, and management of a person for the purposes of operating a tourist railway is revoked and the land is again required for use by the Authority in connection with a government railway, the land again becomes a part of a government railway for the purposes of this Act and the Authority may request the Minister for Lands to make orders in respect of the land in accordance with subsection (5).
If requested under subsection (4) by the Authority to do so, the Minister for Lands is required to —
make —
an order under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 51 changing the purpose for which the land is reserved to the purposes described in section 4(a); or
if the reserve has been cancelled, make an order under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 41 reserving the land for the purposes described in section 4(a);
and
make an order under the Land Administration Act 1997 section 46, placing the land under the care, control, and management of the Authority for the purposes described in section 4(a).
In this section —
Minister for Lands means the body corporate of that name referred to in the Land Administration Act 1997 section 7(1).
