        (1)         The management body of a mall reserve may, after consulting —

            (a)         the holders of the freehold in, and occupiers of, land who use or depend on the mall reserve for access to that land; and

            (b)         any supplier of public utility services having public utility services on that land,

                make, subject to subsection (3), by-laws for the care, control and management of the mall reserve.

        (2)         Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), by-laws referred to in that subsection may —

            (a)         adopt, with or without modification, such provisions of the Road Traffic Act 1974 as may facilitate the control and management of traffic within the relevant mall reserve as if that mall reserve were a road within the meaning of that Act; and

            (b)         provide for conditions subject to which the relevant management body may, if it is empowered by an order made under section 59(5) to grant leases or licences in respect of land in that mall reserve, grant leases or licences that are capable of affecting the interests of the holders of the freehold in, or occupiers of, land adjoining that mall reserve.

        (3)         If a management body referred to in subsection (1) is a local government, the power to make by-laws conferred on that management body by that subsection is to be construed as a power to make local laws under the Local Government Act 1995 for the purposes for which by-laws may be made under this section.
