203 Acquisition of land for purposes of road widening
> > (1) A roads authority may compulsorily acquire land the subject of a road widening order by means of an acquisition notice under the [Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991](/view/html/inforce/current/act-1991-022) without the need for a proposed acquisition notice under that Act.
>
> > (2) An acquisition notice may not be issued for the purposes of this Division unless the acquiring authority is satisfied that the land is clear of any building or structure.
>
> > (3) However, an acquisition notice is not invalid merely because of the existence on the land of any building or structure as at the time the notice is given.
>
> > (4) Nothing prevents an acquisition notice being given under this Division at the same time as notice of the road widening order is given to the owner of the land.
