Planning, programming and funding manual

Published: 25 08 2008

The Planning, programming and funding manual sets out the NZTA's policies, procedures and guidance for the planning and management of land transport activities that can be funded from the national land transport fund.

This manual will guide the 2009/10–2011/12 regional land transport programmes (RLTPs) and the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) – the first three-year transport programmes. It sets out policy and procedures for developing and managing the RLTPs and NLTP during those cycles.

The manual was also used to manage the 2008/09 NLTP.

The procedures described in this manual have been developed to assist approved organisations to prepare and plan projects and activities for which they seek funding from the NZTA, within the framework of the NZTA’s overall funding allocation process.

The Planning, programming and funding manual is also available in PDF, either as the whole document or in parts. The PDF version is the master document.

Note: The online version and PDF section for the Planning, programming and funding manual now incorporate the changes from Amendment 1 and is effective from 1 July 2009.
