4.3 All access tracks (including culverts and bridges) that Transpower constructs, modifies or upgrades under clause 2.1(h) will form part of the Land and will be the Landowner’s property (unless the parties agree otherwise in writing).

  1. Notices

5.1 Transpower will give the following notice to the Landowner:

a. before entering the Land to inspect the Line, Transpower will give the Landowner at least 5 Working Days’ notice; and

b. before entering the Land for any other purpose allowed by this Easement, Transpower will give the Landowner at least 10 Working Days’ notice in writing.

5.2 If Transpower gives the Landowner notice under clause 5.1, the Landowner may set reasonable conditions on Transpower’s entry onto the Land but:

a. the Landowner must inform Transpower of the Landowner’s conditions at least 2 Working Days before Transpower’s proposed date of entry; and

b. the Landowner’s conditions must not:

i. delay Transpower’s entry by more than 15 Working Days;

ii. require the payment of money or any other consideration by Transpower; or
