Note.

Nothing in this clause is to be construed as requiring a public authority to acquire land—see section 27 (3) of the Act.

(1) The owner of any vacant land within Zone No 9 (a) may, by notice in writing, require—

(a) the R.T.A., in the case of land that is included in the 5-year works program of the R.T.A. current at the time of receipt of the notice, or

(b) the Corporation, in any other case,

to acquire the land.

(2) The owner of any land within Zone No 9 (a) that is not vacant may, by notice in writing, require the R.T.A. to acquire the land if—

(a) the land is included in the 5-year works program of the R.T.A. current at the time of the receipt of the notice, or

(b) the R.T.A. has decided not to give concurrence to an application for consent to the carrying out of development on the land, or

(c) the R.T.A. is of the opinion that the owner of the land will suffer hardship if the land is not acquired within a reasonable time.

(3) On receipt of a notice under this clause, the R.T.A. or the Corporation, as the case may be, must acquire the land unless the land might reasonably be required to be dedicated for a public road.

(4) A person may, with the consent of the Council, carry out development on land within Zone No 9 (a)—

(a) for a purpose for which development may be carried out (with or without the consent of the Council) on land in an adjoining zone, or

(b) for any purpose which is compatible with development which may be carried out on land in an adjoining zone.

(5) (Repealed)

(6) Land acquired under this clause may be developed, with the consent of the Council, for any purpose, until such time as it is required for the purpose for which it was acquired.
