28G Determination and variation of transitway routes

(1) The Director-General may from time to time, by order published in the Gazette, determine, vary or abolish a transitway route, with effect from a date determined by the order.

(2) The Director-General must not determine or vary a transitway route unless:

(a) a study has been conducted to determine whether any parts of the transitway or proposed transitway that have not previously been used as a road would be suitable for use for the purpose of light rail, and

(b) the study has found that those parts of the transitway or proposed transitway would be suitable for that purpose, and

(c) the details of the study have been laid upon the table of each House.

(3) A transitway route, as determined or varied under this section, must enable travel between the destinations mentioned in a transitway description (or between places that lie near, or between any two of, those destinations).

(4) Transitway routes may intersect with one another and may have portions in common.

(5) A transitway route may be determined or varied:

(a) by naming, or illustrating by means of a map or plan, the roads or road portions along which the route proceeds or that are affected by the variation (as the case requires), or

(b) in such other manner as may be sufficient to specify the route or variation.

(6) A transitway route may be varied:

(a) temporarily-that is, between dates specified in the order effecting the variation, or

(b) until further order (if any).

(7) Without affecting the generality of subsection (5), a transitway route may be varied temporarily to permit construction or maintenance of a road or road portion along which the route proceeds.
