Notice is hereby given that the Minister for Land Information proposes to take, under the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule (“Land”).

The Land currently forms part of the road for State Highway 73 and is required to formalise the existing use of the Land as road. More particularly, the Land is required for the functioning indirectly of a road and will be declared road thereafter.

The reason why the Minister for Land Information considers it reasonably necessary to take the Land is to ensure proper future administration and management of the Land, which forms part of State Highway 73 as the Curletts Road bridge. The Land has been formed and used as road for decades.

The owner of the Land and those persons with a registered interest in the Land have been served with notice of the Minister for Land Information’s intention to take the Land and notified of their right to object.

Any other person having the right to object may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court, Justice & Emergency Services Precinct, 20 Lichfield Street, Christchurch. Postal Address: PO Box 2069, Christchurch 8013 or DX: WX11113 Christchurch; within 20 working days after publication of this notice.

If any objection is made in accordance with this notice a public hearing will be held with the right of the objector to appear and be heard personally unless the objector otherwise requires, and each objector will be informed of the time and place of the hearing.

Any person requiring further information in respect of this advice should contact Emma Baker, The Property Group Limited, Level 1, 4 Akersten Street, Nelson 7010. Postal Address: PO Box 1551, Nelson 7040. Email: ebaker@propertygroup.co.nz. Telephone: 027 630 7393.

The Land is located on Curletts Road, State Highway 73, Canterbury.

Canterbury Land District

Dated at Wellington this 19th day of November 2024.
