There are at least six acts of parliament that grant different rights and responsibilities to different utility operators working in the road corridor.
In 2003, the NZUAG developed proposals for legislative change that would provide a consistent formula between different utilities legislation. This achievement typifies the group's commitment to provide solutions that benefit everyone.
In 2005, the Ministry of Economic Development released a discussion document outlining some proposals for legislative change that incorporated the NZUAG suggestions. Cabinet decisions were released on 31 October 2006, and NZUAG is now developing a code of practice which is consistent with these legislative proposals. Full details are provided under the pages for National Code.
