Abstract
This Act lays down rules for the planning, delivery, and management of certain classes of infrastructure set out in the text; the rights of the infrastructure managers, and owners and occupiers of land, in relation to access to land for the purposes of the construction, installation, and maintenance of infrastructure; and the rights of owners and occupiers of land whose land is affected by the construction, installation, and maintenance of infrastructure. This Act deals with the certain classes of infrastructure, including all physical assets owned by the Crown but managed by an infrastructure manager for the benefit of the public such as wastewater and water networks, inland and coastal flood and erosion protection works, wharves, harbours, solid and hazardous waste facilities, storm water drains and networks, and hydro-electric storage and generation. In case of an emergency, an infrastructure manager has a right of access to any accessway or land, without giving notice to or obtaining consent from any person, if the access is urgently required for protecting any person from injury, protecting property from material damage, protecting public health or safety, protecting and restoring infrastructure, or preventing environmental damage and the loss of resources.
