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.

Chapter F8 Renewal of roads

F8.4 W/C 214: Sealed road pavement rehabilitation

Definition: work category 214

Sealed road pavement rehabilitation

This work category provides for the replacement of, or restoration of strength to, pavements where other forms of maintenance and renewal are no longer economic.

Examples of qualifying activities

Examples of qualifying activities for work category 214 include:

  • granular overlays
  • rip and relay
  • pavement stabilisation
  • asphaltic overlays or grader-laid asphaltic material
  • pavement replacement (including the use of recycled materials).

Exclusions: work category 214

Work category 214 excludes:

  • improvements - where it is prudent to carry out some improvements in conjunction with the rehabilitation, this may be programmed under work category 231: associated improvements
  • pavement strengthening of unsealed roads - this is funded under work category 211: unsealed road metalling.

Evaluation: work category 214

To qualify for inclusion in work category 214, the work must be the long-term least-cost option for the RCA, calculated in terms of present value (PV).

RCAs must undertake economic efficiency evaluation of individual projects and make copies of the evaluations available as requested by the NZTA.
