written consent, do anything in relation to any land subject to the Designation, which would prevent or hinder the State Highway or the Tunnel.

Public Works Act 1981

1.2 Section 237 of the Public Works Act 1981 provides that, except with the prior written consent of NZTA, no person may excavate or otherwise interfere with any land in the vicinity of the State Highway or the Tunnel if the excavation or interference is likely to produce, directly or indirectly, a subsidence on to the State Highway or the Tunnel or a subsidence of the State Highway or the Tunnel or of the soil under it. A breach of that section is an offence and also gives rise to civil liability for all damage caused to the State Highway or the Tunnel arising from that breach.

Government Roading Powers Act 1989

1.3 Section 78 of the Government Roading Powers Act 1989 provides that, except with the prior written consent of NZTA, no person may place any wire, cable, pipe, tower, pole, or other structure or thing on, over, or under any motorway, or on, over, or under any land that has been taken, purchased, set apart or acquired for the purpose of constructing a motorway.

Restrictions on Excavations

  1. For better compliance with the existing restrictions recorded in clauses 1.1–1.3 of this Schedule and the better protection of the State Highway and the Tunnel, the landowner shall not:

2.1 Excavate or otherwise disturb the soil in any manner whatsoever in the Tunnel Protection Land without the prior written consent of the Crown on each occasion and subject to strict compliance with such conditions as the Crown may impose on any such consent;

2.2 Suffer, allow, or permit (including without limitation giving any consents or approvals under the Resource Management Act 1991 or otherwise) any other person to take any action in respect of the Servient Land that would breach clause 2.1;

2.3 Fund, encourage or otherwise be involved in, any act, matter or thing in respect of the Servient Land that would, if carried out by the landowner itself, breach clause 2.1.

  1. For the avoidance of doubt, clause 2.1 applies to any activity, whether that activity commences on the surface of the Servient Land or any other property.

  2. The Crown’s consent under clause 2.1 may be given or withheld, or made subject to conditions, at the Crown’s sole and absolute discretion. Consent will be required on each occasion notwithstanding any prior consent or approval obtained for the like purpose on a prior occasion.

  3. If NZTA gives written permission to any activities that would otherwise breach clause 2.1 then the Crown will consent under clause 2.1 to those activities.

  4. For the avoidance of doubt, the landowner does not require the consent of the Crown to carry out any activities that do not extend into the Tunnel Protection Land.

  5. The landowner shall:

7.1 Impose on every occupier of the Servient Land or holder of any unregistered interest in the Servient Land an obligation to observe and perform the terms of this covenant including legal costs on a solicitor/client basis and to otherwise indemnify the Crown against any claims, loss and expense of whatever kind incurred by the Crown as a consequence of the landowner failing to comply with the provisions of this covenant.

7.2 Pay all legal costs and disbursements in respect of the performance and observance by the landowner

  1. This covenant shall be binding on all transferees, tenants, lessees, mortgages, charge-holders and their respective successors in title and assigns of any estate or interest in the Servient Land.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General of New Zealand, and issued under the Seal of New Zealand this 22nd day of August 2011.
