New Zealand Acts

URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACT 2020 - SECT 152

152 Construction of new water-related infrastructure on, under, or over roads

1 This section applies if Kāinga Ora proposes to exercise a water-related infrastructure power to construct new water-related infrastructure on, under, or over any road.

2 The Utilities Access Act 2010 and the Utilities Access Code apply (with any necessary modifications), as if Kāinga Ora were the utility operator of that infrastructure and that infrastructure were water or wastewater infrastructure for the purposes of that Act and Code.

3 However, despite anything in the Utilities Access Code, no corridor manager or utility operator may impose conditions that would, or would likely, prevent or unreasonably delay delivery of the project or the project objectives being achieved.
