22 Interpretation For the purposes of this section and sections 23, 24, and 26,— affected land means— (a) (b) land held under the Public Works Act 1981 by the Crown or the Corpor- ation for a public work, other than land acquired after 31 January 1982 and before 31 March 1987 (being the date of commencement of the Pub- lic Works Amendment Act (No 2) 1987) for a public work that was not an essential work, and which is held by the Corporation, or by the Crown, for railways purposes; or land that has been vested in a Crown transferee company pursuant to section 6 or sold to a railway operator by the Corporation, as the case may be, that— (i) (ii) has at all times since being so vested or sold been held by a trans- feree company or a railway operator; and before being so vested in the Crown transferee company or sold to the railway operator, was held under the Public Works Act 1981 by the Crown or the Corporation for a public work, other than land acquired after 31 January 1982 and before 31 March 1987 (being the date of the commencement of the Public Works Amendment Act (No 2) 1987) for a public work that was not an essential work local authority has the same meaning as in section 2 of the Public Works Act 1981 14 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Part 1 s 23 public work has the same meaning as in section 2 of the Public Works Act 1981 successor, in relation to any person, means the person who would have been entitled to the land under the will or intestacy of that person had he or she owned the land at the date of his or her death; and, in any case where part of a person’s land was acquired or taken, includes the successor in title of that per- son.
23 Disposal of affected land by Corporation (1) Where the Corporation proposes to sell any affected land to a person other than a railway operator, it shall offer to sell the land by private contract to the person from whom it was acquired by the Crown or the Corporation, or to the succes- sor of that person, at the current market value of the land determined by a valu- ation carried out by a registered valuer appointed by the Corporation unless— (a) (b) (c) the Corporation considers that it would be impracticable, unreasonable, or unfair to do so; or there has been a significant change in the character of the land for the purposes of, or in connection with, the public work or other activities for which it was acquired or is held; or the person from whom it was acquired, or the successor of that person, was, or is, a local authority.
(2) The person to whom an offer is made may, within 20 working days after receipt of the offer, give notice to the Corporation that that person requires the current market value of the land to be determined by the Land Valuation Tribunal and the Corporation shall, on receipt of the notice, refer the matter to that Tribunal for determination.
(3) If— (a) an offer under subsection (1) is not accepted within 40 working days after the making of the offer or, if an application is made to the Land Valuation Tribunal, within 20 working days after the determination of the Tribunal, whichever is later, and the parties have not agreed on other terms for the sale of the land; or (b) paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) of subsection (1) applies to the land,— the Corporation may sell or otherwise dispose of the land to any person on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.
(4) Notwithstanding anything in this section, where the Corporation believes on reasonable grounds that, because of the size, shape, or situation of the land it could not expect to sell the land to any person who did not own land adjacent to the land to be sold, the land may be sold to an owner of adjacent land at a price negotiated between the parties.
15 Part 1 s 24 New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 24 Disposal of affected land by transferee company or railway operator (1) Where a transferee company or a railway operator proposes to sell any affected land to a person other than a railway operator, it shall give notice to the Director-General within the meaning of section 2 of the Survey Act 1986 of its desire to sell that land.
(2) The Director-General shall, within 20 working days, or such further time as he or she considers on reasonable grounds is required to make the determination, determine— (a) whether it would be impracticable, unreasonable, or unfair to require the land to be offered for sale to the person from whom it was acquired or that person’s successor; or (b) whether there has been a significant change in the character of the land for the purposes of, or in connection with, a railway— and shall notify the transferee company or railway operator in writing of that determination.
(3) The Director-General shall give notice in writing to the transferee company or railway operator of the period of any extension under subsection (2) and shall state in the notice the reasons for the extension.
(4) Unless the Director-General gives notice to the transferee company or railway operator that he or she has determined that— (a) (b) it would be impracticable or unreasonable or unfair to do so; or there has been a significant change in the character of the land for the purposes of, or in connection with, a railway,— the transferee company or railway operator shall offer to sell the land by pri- vate contract to the person from whom it was acquired by the Crown or the Corporation, or to the successor of that person, at the current market value of the land as determined by a valuation carried out by a registered valuer appoin- ted by the transferee company or railway operator.
(5) The person to whom an offer is made may, within 20 working days after receipt of the offer, give notice in writing to the transferee company or railway oper- ator that that person requires the current market value of the land to be deter- mined by the Land Valuation Tribunal and the transferee company or railway operator, as the case may be, shall, on receipt of the notice, refer the matter to that Tribunal for determination.
an offer made under subsection (4) is not accepted within 40 working days after the making of the offer, or if an application has been made to the Land Valuation Tribunal, within 20 working days after the determin- ation of the Tribunal, whichever is later, and the parties have not agreed on other terms for the sale of the land; or (6) If— (a) 16 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Part 1 s 25A (b) the Director-General gives notice to the transferee company or railway operator under subsection (4)(a) or subsection (4)(b);— the transferee company or the railway operator may sell or otherwise dispose of the land to any person on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.
(7) Nothing in this section applies— (a) (b) in relation to affected land that was acquired from a local authority; or in a case where the successor of the person from whom any affected land was acquired is a local authority.
(8) Nothing in this section applies where the chief executive of Land Information New Zealand gives notice in writing to the transferee company or railway oper- ator that he or she believes on reasonable grounds that the land could not be sold to a person who did not own land adjacent to the land to be sold.

In any such case the land may be sold to an owner of adjacent land at a price negoti- ated between the parties.

(2) Any such memorandum of transfer may contain a recital that the land being transferred shall be amalgamated with any other land in an existing certificate of title; and that recital shall be sufficient authority to the District Land Regis- trar to amend such certificate of title accordingly, without fee.

(3) On such amendment the land transferred shall become subject to and, where applicable, receive the benefit of, all encumbrances, easements, and other inter- ests noted on the certificate of title.

25A Subdivision (1) Subject to the provisions of this section, section 11 and Part 10 of the Resource Management Act 1991 shall not apply to any subdivision undertaken by the Corporation, transferee company, or a railway operator to give effect to a trans- fer or disposal of land pursuant to section 23 or section 24 or section 26, if that transfer or disposal (of all or part of an allotment) is to an owner of adjoining land.
(2) Every transfer or other disposition to which subsection (1) applies, shall be deemed to be subject to a condition that— 17 Part 1 s 25A New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 (3) (4) (5) (a) the land being transferred or disposed of shall be held in one certificate of title with the owner’s adjoining land; or (b) where subsection (4) applies, a covenant shall be entered into between the owner of the adjoining land and the territorial authority that the land being transferred or disposed of shall not, otherwise than in accordance with a subdivision consent under the Resource Management Act 1991, be transferred, leased, or otherwise disposed of except in conjunction with the owner’s adjoining land.
The Corporation, transferee company, or the railway operator (as the case may be) shall consult with the District Land Registrar as to the practicality of a con- dition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(a).
If the District Land Registrar advises the Corporation, transferee company, or railway operator (as the case may be) that a condition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(a) is not practical, then any transfer or disposal of land to which subsection (1) applies shall be deemed to be subject to a condition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(b).
Every condition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(a) or (b) shall be en- dorsed on the survey plan giving effect to the subdivision to which subsection (1) applies, and the District Land Registrar shall not deposit that survey plan unless— (a) (b) he or she is satisfied that any condition of the kind referred to in subsec- tion (2)(a) has been complied with as fully as may be possible in the office of the Registrar; or a covenant of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(b) has been lodged for registration.
(6) Where a condition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(a) has been complied with— (a) (b) the separate parcels of land included in the certificate of title in accord- ance with the condition shall not be capable of being disposed of indi- vidually or being held under separate certificates of title, otherwise than in accordance with a subdivision consent under the Resource Manage- ment Act 1991; and on the issue of a certificate of title, the District Land Registrar shall enter on the certificate of title a memorandum that the land is subject to this subsection.
(7) Every covenant of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(b) shall be in writing, be signed by the owner of the adjoining land, have affixed to it the common seal of the territorial authority, and be deemed— (a) to be an instrument capable of registration under the Land Transfer Act 1952, and, when so registered, to create in favour of the territorial au- 18 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Part 1 s 25A thority an interest in the land, in respect of which it is registered, within the meaning of section 62 of that Act; and (b) to run with the land and bind subsequent owners.
(8) The territorial authority may at any time, after a survey plan giving effect to a subdivision to which subsection (1) applies has been deposited in the Land Registry Office, cancel in whole or in part— (a) (b) any condition of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(a); or any covenant of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(b).
(9) Where a territorial authority cancels, in whole or in part, a condition or cove- nant in accordance with subsection (8), the territorial authority shall forward an authenticated copy of the resolution of the territorial authority cancelling or partially cancelling that condition or covenant to the District Land Registrar, who shall note the records accordingly.
(10) Where— (a) for the purpose of complying with conditions of a kind referred to in subsection (2)— (i) (ii) a covenant of a kind referred to in subsection (2)(b) is registered in accordance with this section; or the land being transferred or disposed of is amalgamated in one certificate of title with adjoining land in accordance with this sec- tion; and (b) (c) the adjoining land is already subject to a registered instrument under which a power to sell, a right of renewal, or a right or obligation of pur- chase is lawfully conferred or imposed; and that power, right, or obligation becomes exercisable but is not able to be exercised or fully exercised because of subsection (5) or subsection (6)— the land being transferred or disposed of shall be deemed to be and always to have been part of the adjoining land that is subject to that instrument; and all rights and obligations in respect of, and encumbrances on, that adjoining land shall be deemed also to be rights and obligations in respect of or encumbrances on, the land being transferred or disposed of; and the District Land Registrar shall enter upon all relevant certificates of title a memorandum to the effect that the land therein is subject to this subsection.
(11) Where any instrument to which subsection (10) applies is a mortgage, charge, or lien, it shall be deemed to have priority over any mortgage, charge, or lien against the land being transferred or disposed of which is registered subsequent to the issue of the certificate of title pursuant to subsections (5) and (6), or the registration of the covenant entered into pursuant to subsections (5) and (7), as the case may be; and the District Land Registrar shall enter upon all relevant 19 Part 1 s 26 New Zealand Railways Corporation Restructuring Act 1990 Reprinted as at 18 July 2013 certificates of title a memorandum to the effect that the land therein is subject to this subsection.
(12) For the purposes of this section— allotment has the same meaning as in section 218 of the Resource Manage- ment Act 1991 amalgamated means amalgamated pursuant to a condition under subsection (3) territorial authority means a territorial authority within the meaning of the Local Government Act 2002.

27 Sections 21 to 26 not to affect existing rights Nothing in sections 21 to 26 affects— (a) (b) (c) the application of sections 40 to 42 of the Public Works Act 1981 to any land which has been the subject of an offer under section 40(2) or sec- tion 40(4) of the Public Works Act 1981, or of an application under sec- tion 41(e) of that Act, prior to the commencement of this Act; or the determination of any issue relating to the existence of an obligation or entitlement under sections 40 to 42 of the Public Works Act 1981 aris- ing in proceedings commenced before 22 March 1990; or the application of sections 40 to 42 of the Public Works Act 1981 in any case where it has been determined in proceedings commenced before 22 March 1990 that section 40(1) of that Act applied to any land before that date.
