WC 325: Seal extension

Archive - this information is for reference only and no longer maintained.

Introduction

This work category provides for the sealing of existing unsealed roads.

Examples of qualifying activities

Examples of qualifying activities include, but may not be limited to:

• extending the length of sealing from a sealed onto an unsealed road, and
• road improvements as defined in Work category 324: Road improvements associated with extending the length of sealing

Other potential activities not shown above should be discussed with the Transport Agency for eligibility.

Exclusions

Exclusions include:

• widening the seal of an existing sealed road – this should be conducted under Work category 324: Road improvements, and
• a new cattle stop where none previously existed – this is not eligible for funding assistance.

Funding assistance rate (FAR)

The usual funding assistance rate is:

• the Approved Organisation's normal FAR,
• the Approved Organisation's special purpose road improvements FAR; or
• 100% of the Transport Agency's state highway costs.

Applying for funding approval

Applications for funding approval of proposed projects should be made through the 'Improvement activity' module in Transport Investment Online(external link) (TIO). To be eligible for NLTF funding, any new activity must be added to the relevant Regional Land Transport Plan and to the NLTP.

End of year carryover

Transport Investment Online(external link) (TIO) will automatically carryover the unspent allocation every year.  Therefore it is vital that Approved Organisations and the Transport Agency (State Highways) declare the unused allocation for completed projects by making a cost-scope adjustment via the Reviews module in TIO.
