13 .         Amendment of boundaries

        (1)         The regulations may amend Schedule 1, 2, 3 or 4 —

            (a)         by adding any area to the catchment area, development control area, Riverpark or River reserve;

            (b)         by excising any area from the catchment area, development control area, Riverpark or River reserve;

            (c)         by deleting the catchment area, development control area, Riverpark or River reserve and substituting another area for it.

        (2)         Before regulations are made for the purposes of subsection (1) the Minister must consult with —

            (a)         the Minister for Planning;

            (b)         any other Minister of the Crown that the Minister considers has a relevant interest in the regulations;

            (c)         the local government —

                  (i)         of the district in which any proposed new boundary is located; and

                  (ii)         of the district in which the existing boundary that would be amended is located;

                and

            (d)         any other public authority that has the care, control or management of land likely to be added to, excised from, or substituted for, land in the catchment area, development control area, Riverpark or River reserve.

        (3)         Land added to, or substituted for land in, the Riverpark or the River reserve must be Crown land.

        (4)         The addition of an area to, excision of an area from, or substitution of an area for, the River reserve under this section has effect as if the area were added to, excised from, or substituted for, the River reserve under the Land Administration Act 1997 Part 4.

        (5)         The Registrar of Titles must take any necessary measures to register any change to the reservation and placement of waters in the River reserve effected by a regulation under this section, and the necessary consequential changes, and for those purposes the regulation is to be treated as if it were an order under the Land Administration Act 1997 Part 4.

        (6)         Regulations referred to in subsection (1) may provide for the substitution of a plan for a plan referred to in Schedule 1, 2, 3 or 4, or for the amendment of an area by reference to a further plan.

        (7)         Despite any increase in the development control area effected by regulations referred to in subsection (1), any act or thing lawfully undertaken, and not discontinued or abandoned, before the commencement of those regulations in an area that was not in the development control area before that commencement but which is in the development control area after that commencement may be lawfully continued and completed as if those regulations had not come into operation.

        (8)         Without limiting subsection (7), regulations referred to in subsection (1) may make further provisions of a transitional nature that are expedient to be made in respect of an amendment to Schedule 1, 2, 3 or 4 under subsection (1).
