(4) An easement over a sublease ends when the sublease ends.

(5) If freehold land is subject to a public utility easement and the land is surrendered, the easement may continue, with the Minister’s written approval, over the resulting unallocated State land.

(6) If a public utility easement continues over unallocated State land or a reserve, the continuation must be recorded in the appropriate register.

(7) If unallocated State land, over which there is a public utility easement, is dealt with under this Act—

(a) the Minister may approve the easement continue; and

(b) if approved—the continuation of the easement must be recorded in the appropriate register.
