27. Rights of public authorities in respect of parks





(1) Subject to this Act and the regulations, a public authority may, where it
has obtained the consent of the Secretary, perform its functions and exercise
its powers in and in relation to a park in accordance with the conditions (if
any) to which the consent is subject.

(2) The Secretary may not give consent to the performance of functions or
exercise of powers by a public authority where the Minister considers that the
performance of functions or exercise of powers may substantially affect a park
unless the Governor in Council has determined that the consent should be
given.

(3) The consent of the Secretary under this section is subject to such
conditions relating to the performance of functions or exercise of powers-

   (a)  in a case to which subsection (2) applies, as are determined by the
        Governor in Council; and

   (b)  in any other case, as the Secretary determines.



(4) This section is not subject to the Road Management Act 2004 and prevails
over that Act to the extent of any inconsistency.
