Section 197 — Resource Management Act 1991: Compulsory acquisition powers

197 Compulsory acquisition powers (1) The acquisition of land by a heritage protection authority for the purposes of giving effect to a heritage order shall be deemed to be an acquisition of land, or an interest in land, for a public work for the purposes of the Public Works Act 1981 . (2) Where a heritage protection authority is neither the Crown nor a local authority, section 186 shall apply, with all necessary modifications, as if every reference to a network utility operator were a reference to a heritage protection authority. Section 40 Historic Places Act 1980 allowed the acquisition of land subject to a protection notice if necessary to give effect to a Tribunal order under section 125C Town and Country Planning Act 1977.
