NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE ACT 1974 - SECT 188D
Provisions relating to certain existing access roads on National Park Estate lands
(1) Maintenance and improvement works The Secretary may authorise work to be
carried out for the maintenance or improvement of an access road.
(2) Work
authorised under this section may only be carried out to enable the
access road to continue to be used for the purposes for which the road was
used before land on which the road is situated was vested in the Minister.
(3) Such maintenance and improvement work may be carried out even if it
involves ancillary work on reserved land that adjoins the land on which the
access road is situated.
(4) The carrying out of work authorised under this
section is not a contravention of this Act or the regulations.
(5)
Determination of width of existing access roads At the time an exclusion order
is made, the Minister may, by order published in the Gazette, determine a
width (not being a width greater than 30 metres) for an access road that is to
be excluded from reservation under this Act by the exclusion order. Note :
Under the various provisions relating to access roads on National Park Estate
lands, certain access roads were vested in the Minister as land acquired under
Part 11 and not reserved under this Act. These provisions require the Minister
to determine within specified times whether those access roads are to be
excluded from reservation (and remain as land acquired under Part 11) or
included in the reserved lands surrounding them.
(6) An order under
subsection (5) may-- (a) be made only with the concurrence of the Minister
administering the Forestry Act 2012 , and
(b) be made by the same order that
constitutes the exclusion order concerned, and
(c) only be made if the
Minister has determined it is appropriate after considering-- (i) the objects
of this Act, and
(ii) whether a road of the determined width is necessary to
provide access to land in the vicinity of the road or to provide an
appropriate set back (within the meaning of section 188C) from the carriageway
of the road.
(7) On the making of an order under subsection (5)-- (a) land of
the determined width that follows the centreline of the access road (as it
existed before the order was made) vests, if it is not already vested, in the
Minister on behalf of the Crown for the purposes of Part 11 of this Act for an
estate in fee simple, freed and discharged from-- (i) all trusts, obligations,
estates, interests, rights of way or other easements, and
(ii) any
dedication, reservation, Crown grant or vesting to which the land is subject,
and any such dedication, reservation, grant or vesting is revoked, and
(b)
the land referred to in paragraph (a) is taken to be an access road and may
continue to be used for the purposes for which it was used immediately before
the making of the order, and
(c) if any land was vested in the Minister by
virtue of being an access road, but is not covered by the land referred to in
paragraph (a), the land is reserved as part of the reserved land within which
it is situated.
(8) Subsection (7) (a) (i) does not apply in relation to a
right of way granted under section 20A of the Forestry Act 1916 that is taken
to have continued in force (as if it were granted under section 149 or 153 of
this Act) by clause 8 (11) of Schedule 7 to the
National Park Estate (Southern Region Reservations) Act 2000 .
