New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) If in the opinion of the Minister there is any doubt or uncertainty as to whether any land was immediately before the commencement of this Act a reserve within the meaning of section 2 of the Reserves and Domains Act 1953, he may, by notice in the Gazette, declare either that the land as defined in the notice is a reserve within the meaning of this Act for such purpose or purposes as are stated in the notice, or that it is not a reserve; and every such notice shall have effect according to its tenor.
(2) The Minister may in like manner define the purpose for which any reserve (whether reserved or set apart before or after the commencement of this Act) shall be classified in any case where doubt exists as to that purpose.
(3) Where in any notice issued in the Gazette under this Act or under any Act repealed by this Act there has been made any error of description (whether with respect to the boundaries or area of the land to which the notice relates or with respect to classification or nomenclature, or otherwise howsoever), the Minister may revoke the notice, and may thereafter issue in its place a fresh notice with amended particulars and descriptions, or may by notice amend the original notice.
(4) Every notice of revocation or amendment issued under subsection (3) of this section shall, according to its tenor, take effect as from the date on which the original notice was intended to take effect or as from such other date as may be therein specified in that behalf.
