24—Confirmation of road process order
(1) The Minister must
confirm or decline to confirm a road process order as soon as practicable
after receipt of the Surveyor-General's recommendation on that order.
(2) Where the Minister
declines to confirm a road process order—
(a) the
Surveyor-General must, as soon as practicable, give notice in writing of that
decision to the council; and
(b) the
council must, as soon as practicable, give notice in writing of that
decision—
(i)
to any person who made an objection or application in
relation to the proposed road process pursuant to Division 1; and
(ii)
in addition, in the case of a proposed
road opening—to any person who has an interest in land over which a road
was proposed to be opened.
(3) The Minister may,
when confirming a road process order, if he or she thinks fit, confirm the
order conditionally on approval and deposit of the survey plans by the
Registrar-General.
(4) Where a
road process order is confirmed by the Minister, the Surveyor-General must
cause notice of the order and its confirmation to be published in the Gazette
as soon as practicable after the confirmation and fulfilment of the condition
(if any) of the confirmation.
(5) The
Surveyor-General is not required to set out the full text of a
road process order in a notice under this section, but may instead provide a
general description of the nature and effect of the order.
(6) Publication in the
Gazette of notice of a road process order and its confirmation is sufficient
evidence of the due making and confirmation of the order.
