This means the government can:\n- Exercise **compulsory acquisition** (forced purchase) of land if needed\n- Control how the road is used, maintained, and developed\n- Regulate activities that might affect the road corridor\n\nWithout this proclamation, the government would lack clear legal authority to manage these specific road sections as public infrastructure."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Impossible to assess scope change from original intent without access to the full text of the proclamation.
