Land Administration Regulations 1998

This regulation applies to a request to the Minister by a local government under section 58(1) of the Act for the Minister to close a road permanently if the request relates to land that —

has been reserved, declared or otherwise dedicated as a road; but

has never been used as a road or had a road constructed upon it.

The local government must include the following with the request to the Minister —

written confirmation —

that the request relates to land of the kind referred to in subregulation (1); and

that the local government has therefore not complied with the requirements set out in regulation 9;

written confirmation that the local government has resolved to make the request, the date when the relevant resolution was passed and any other information relating to the resolution that the Minister may require;

sketch plans showing the location of the road and the proposed future disposition of the land comprising the road after it has been closed;

any other information the local government considers relevant to the Minister’s consideration of the request.
