acquired under subsection (1) include for the purposes of a future sale, lease
or disposal, that is, to enable the State Transit Authority to exercise its
functions in relation to land under this Act.
(2) For the purposes of the
Public Works Act 1912 , any such acquisition of land is taken to be for an
authorised work and the State Transit Authority is, in relation to that
authorised work, taken to be the Constructing Authority.
(3) Any such
acquisition is not void merely because it is expressed to be for the purposes
of the State Transit Authority or for the purposes of this Act.
(4) Part 3 of the Public Works Act 1912 does not
apply in respect of works constructed for the purposes of this section.
(5)
Nothing in this section is taken to mean that the State Transit Authority
cannot exercise functions in relation to land under this Act unless the
State Transit Authority first compulsorily acquires the land concerned.
