Whenever it appears to the Governor, upon recommendation by the Roads Authority, that any particular portion of land is needed for the layout of a new public road or the widening or diverting of an existing public road, a declaration to that effect shall be —
gazetted;
sent by registered post to the registered proprietor of the land at his address on the register; and
published twice per week for three consecutive weeks in a daily newspaper published and circulating in the Islands.
The declaration shall state —
the intention of the Roads Authority to construct a road or portion of road over the portion of land;
the locality in which the portion of land is situated, specifying particulars of block and parcel numbers on the Register and, so far as feasible, any name or other information which may be helpful in identifying the land;
the line and anticipated boundaries of the road or proposed road;
the approximate area of the portion of land; and
the place where a plan can be inspected.
The Governor shall cause a detached plan of the proposed new road, or of the part of the road intended to be widened or diverted, and the lands through which it is to pass, to be transmitted to the Registrar and the Roads Authority to be exhibited to any person who may require to examine it.
The plan produced for the purposes of this section shall be such as to allow correlation of particulars thereon with particulars on the composite map.
