MAIN ROADS AMENDMENT
BILL 2023
878. Hon BEN DAWKINS to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer the minister to the Main
Roads Amendment Bill 2023.
(1) Will interests over a highway or main road granted
by the commissioner be registered under the Transfer of Land Act?
(2) Will the
commissioner subdivide that part of a highway or main road over which they
grant an interest prior to granting that interest?
(3) Will the
person being granted an interest by the commissioner have indefeasible title to
that interest?
(4) Is the Main
Roads bill another example of bureaucrats using the government's
control of both houses as an opportunity for a power grab?
