214—Contribution between councils where road is on boundary between council areas

        (1)         If a council carries out roadwork on a road on the boundary between two council areas, the council is entitled to a reasonable contribution from the other council towards the cost of the work.

        (2)         The contribution will be—

            (a)         an amount agreed between the councils; or

            (b)         in the absence of agreement—an amount determined by the court in which the action for contribution is brought.

        (3)         A council is not entitled to contribution under this section unless the council seeking contribution gives the other council reasonable notice of the nature of the proposed roadwork and allows the council a reasonable opportunity to make representations about the proposed work—but notice is not required in a case of urgency.
