  • (a) The boundary of that land abutting that road; and

  • (b) Lines extended from the end of that portion of boundary to the middle line of the road; and

  • (c) The middle line of the road connecting those extended lines.

  (2) Any person required or authorised by or under any pest management strategy to do anything on or in relation to land, where the pest management strategy provides that the land includes portions of road in accordance with subsection (1), is also required or authorised to do that thing on those portions of the road.
