    High Court

    The Yullundri land is landlocked within s129B(1); the existing narrow 12‑foot, tortuous access is inadequate given the land's Living Hills zoning and likely residential development; having weighed s129B(6) factors the Court will, in principle, grant relief under s129B(7)(a) vesting the necessary land for the proposed road route (Eliot, Sinclair & Partners plan no.144576) but final vesting, compensation and detailed orders are deferred pending subdivision/resource consents and refined design.

    • Landlocked land
    • Reasonable access
    • S129b property law act 1952
