1. Should the existing access from the Property to the roundabout be closed off by the NZ Transport Agency or its successor, the Crown will agree to surrender the existing easement upon request of the Grantor providing a replacement pedestrian right of way easement over the Property is simultaneously registered, or alternatively, fee simple land is acquired by the Crown from the Grantor for a footpath.
2. The position of the replacement pedestrian right of way or land to be acquired for a footpath shall be negotiated in good faith in accordance with the appropriate design standards operating at the time and taking into account any development plans of the Grantor.

3. The parties will negotiate in good faith in accordance with the principles set out in the Public Works Act 1981 or its replacement in determining the compensation for the acquisition of a permanent easement or land in replacement for the right of way granted by this easement. In any determination of compensation, the right given by this clause will be excluded as if it did not exist. For this purpose the “specified date” will be the date that the Grantor requests the surrender of the existing easement.
4. The Crown will, at its cost, arrange and carry out all necessary survey work for the relocation of the pedestrian right of way, will be responsible for forming the new pedestrian footpath and will prepare and have approved all necessary documents and plans.
