This document provides guidance on the NZ Transport Agency’s approach to sharing the costs associated with mitigating development effects on the state highway. The Transport Agency enters into cost sharing agreements to ensure that the financial costs and wider network benefits of mitigation works is met by the appropriate parties.

This section sets out the NZ Transport Agency’s response to proposed private developments, such as subdivisions and billboards alongside the state highway network.

The Community Driver Mentor Programme was originally developed to run in selected communities which had been identified with particular needs. Acknowledging that the programme was needed in many more communities than they could provide for, the NZ Transport Agency and New Zealand Automobile Association (AA) developed this guide to share with those who want to run the programme independently. The guide describes the reasons for setting up the programme, provides an overview of how the programme can work and suggests the tools and resources you need to get it running. It also shares some of the lessons and ideas learned in the initial programmes, so you can tailor your programme to suit your needs and create the most successful environment for all of your participants.

Monitoring development mitigation measures is paramount to a successful planning process under the Resource Management Act 1991. This section sets out how NZ Transport Agency self-monitors its own work and also undertakes independent monitoring of other developments around the network.
