(i)
the principal proprietor of land affected by the notice;
or
(ii)
an occupier of land affected by the notice; or
(iii)
the holder of any mining, petroleum or geothermal energy
rights in land affected by the notice,
and whose interest is
affected by the proposal; or
(b) any
management body whose management order will be affected by the proposal,
may, alone or jointly
with any other person or body so qualified, serve on the Minister, at an
address mentioned in the notice of intention, a written objection to the
taking of interests in the land, not relating to compensation.
(2) An objection must
be lodged within 60 days after the registration of the notice of intention or
such further time as the Minister may allow.
(3) An objection must
identify the land and specify the nature of the interest of the objector in
the land, the address of the objector and the grounds of objection.
(4) The Minister must
consider any objections and any other representations by the objectors.
(5) After considering
the objections and representations, the Minister is to —
(a)
determine that the notice of intention is to stand unchanged; or
(b)
cancel or amend the notice of intention, or cancel the notice and substitute
another notice of intention, in accordance with section 170(6).
(6) If a notice of
intention is amended, or cancelled and another notice substituted, under
subsection (5)(b), the amended or substituted notice is to be treated as a new
notice of intention for the purpose of allowing objections under this section,
unless —
(a) the
changes to the notice of intention do not affect any interests in land apart
from those of persons who have already objected; and
(b) each
objector has agreed to the change in writing.
