Take notice that the Carterton District Council proposes to take, under the provisions of section 23 of the Public Works Act 1981, the land described in the Schedule to this notice (“Land”).

The Land is required to formalise existing vehicle access to adjoining properties.

The reasons why the Carterton District Council considers it reasonably necessary to take the Land are as follows:

2. The Land contains existing Council owned infrastructure (wastewater, sewage and water supply).
3. Carterton District Council intends to maintain the road and infrastructure for public use and benefit.
4. The last legal proprietor of the Land, Joseph Aplin, died intestate on 15 April 1926.

Any person has the right to object and may send a written objection to the Registrar, Environment Court Registry, 5th Floor, District Court Building, 49 Ballance Street, Wellington 6011, or by post to DX SX10044, Wellington, within 20 working days after the date of publication of this notice.
