Canterbury Property Boundaries and Related Matters Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill clarifies the law relating to locating legal property boundaries on land affected by movement resulting from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquake sequences, and provides for guidelines to assist with boundary determinations in greater Christchurch and for more general use in future.
