24—Alteration of Register if place to be designated as place of local
heritage value
(1) If the Council is
of the opinion that a place, or a part of a place, entered in the Register as
a State Heritage Place should instead be designated as being a place of local
heritage value, the Council must invite written representations on the
matter—
(a) from
the owner of the land constituting the place; and
(b) from
the local council in whose area the place is situated (if the place is within
the area of a local council),
within a period (being a period of at least 28 days) specified by the Council.
(2) The Council must
also, on the basis of a request made within the period that applies under
subsection (1) (or within such longer period as the Council may allow),
allow the owner of the land or, in the case of a local council, a
representative of the local council, to appear personally before the Council
to make oral representations.
(3) If, after
considering the representations (if any) made under this section, the Council
is of the opinion that the relevant place should be designated as being a
place of local heritage value, the Council may—
(a)
recommend to the Minister to whom the administration of the
Development Act 1993 is committed that an amendment be made to a
Development Plan under section 29 of that Act so that the place or part
of the place (as the case may be) is designated as a place of local
heritage value; and
(b) if
or when the amendment is made to the Development Plan, make any alteration to
the Register as it thinks fit.
(4) Written notice of
an alteration to the Register under this section must be given to the
Minister, the Registrar-General, the owner or owners of land constituting the
place and, if the place is within the area of a local council, the local
council.
