Exclusions

Work category 911 excludes:

  • any Waka Kotahi activity, other than assessment, advice and assistance that is investment proposal/project specific – this includes any planning work that contributes to the development of a proposal/project. All such costs are to be allocated to the proposal/project under an appropriate work category
  • any activity delivered by approved organisations
  • any NLTF-funded activity that is specific to a state highway.

Funding assistance rate

MoFAS is a Waka Kotahi nationally delivered set of activities, funded 100% from the NLTF.

Funding is approved when Waka Kotahi provides evidence to demonstrate value for money, normally when the board approves the budget in the Waka Kotahi Statement of Performance Expectations each year.

Submitting activities for NLTP consideration and funding approval

Waka Kotahi submits these activities using the improvement activity module in Transport Investment Online (TIO).
