   ...part of the roadway. Thus, I may deal with the roadway in more than one part, effectively subdividing it. I confirm my earlier view 5 that I can subdivide the roadway as part of my powers of cancellation without the need to have regard to the Resource Management Act 1991 (“1991 Act”). The power of subdivision is inherent in s 323(1) and, as per s 11(2) of the 1991 Act, the restrictions on subdivision contained in that Act do not apply to Māori land unless it is provided for...
