Effective road maintenance, operations and renewals are essential to keep New Zealand’s transport network safe, efficient and reliable. Well-planned activities help reduce congestion, manage costs and deliver better outcomes for communities.

REG has worked with the sector to develop guidance to support asset managers to develop comprehensive maintenance plans. This guidance reflects best practice and common principles from the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management.

Using the guidance will help:

  • bring consistency to how maintenance is described
  • standardise definitions across the sector
  • support contractors, capital works teams and funding providers to understand and deliver to expected standards.
