### sec.74 Provisions for distributor-retailer becoming constructing authority This section applies if under section 73 , a distributor-retailer becomes the constructing authority for the taking of land instead of a local government. The local government must give the distributor-retailer the documents relating to the taking. Despite the Acquisition of Land Act , section 12 (1) the land taken under a gazette resumption notice under that Act vests in the distributor-retailer. The distributor-retailer— has for the taking the same powers and obligations under the Acquisition of Land Act as the local government; and does not represent the State for section 12 of that Act. The right under the Acquisition of Land Act of a person who was served with a notice to take or who entered into an agreement to take the land does not change. A reference to the local government in a document relating to the taking is, if the context permits, taken to be a reference to the distributor-retailer. Without limiting subsection (6) , if the local government was taking the land under an agreement to take— a reference in the agreement to the local government is taken to be a reference to the distributor-retailer; and the agreement gives rise to the same rights and liabilities as would have arisen if the local government were a party to the agreement.
