This page relates to the 2021-24 National Land Transport Programme.

Introduction

This investment policy outlines specific rules regarding funding assistance for the construction, renewal or maintenance of a stock effluent disposal site.

Qualifying for National Land Transport Programme consideration

The cost of any stock effluent disposal facility is eligible for funding assistance under:

• work category 321: New traffic management facilities for construction of a facility, or construction of access roads to a facility

Funding assistance rate

The funding assistance rate (FAR) for the construction of the facility and access roads and the maintenance of facilities is the approved organisation’s normal FAR regardless of location. Access roads on state highways are the exception as they are funded at 100% FAR.

Conditions of funding for a new facility

The construction cost of any new stock effluent disposal facility is eligible for funding assistance, subject to:

• the facility being part of an agreed current regional or national strategy
• the relevant approved organisation agreeing to maintain the stock effluent disposal infrastructure, including disposal of any stock effluent
• the facility being situated as close as practicable to the road
• a formal lease, or an agreement to occupy, being signed where the stock effluent disposal facility is not part of the road reserve, giving access to the facility as though it was a road.
