Resumen

The construction, operation and maintenance of works for the removal of obstructions, improvement of rivers and foreshores and the prevention of erosion of lands by tidal and non-tidal waters shall be approved by the Marine Ministerial Holding Corporation and carried out by the Constructing Authority. For the purpose of constructing works for the improvement of rivers and foreshores, any lands may be constituted as River and/or Foreshore Improvement Districts by the Ministerial Corporation. The latter may require owners of benefited lands within a district to contribute the whole or part of the capital cost of the work according to the provisions of Part 3, Division 3 of the Act. Provisions of Part 3A (entitled " Protection of rivers and lakes") require the issue of a permit to: (a) make an excavation on, or under protected land; (b) remove material from protected land; (c) do anything which obstructs, or detrimentally affects, the flow of protected waters, or which is likely to do so. Stop orders may be issued by the Constructing Authority and injunctions restraining a threatened or apprehended contravention maybe granted by the Land and Environment Court. The Authority may also, by notice in writing given to the person, issue an impounding order. Further provisions concern the procedure for the granting of the licence, the impounding of material removed from protected land and the powers of persons authorized by the Constructing Authority as regards the entry into, and the inspection of, lands.
