This page relates to the 2018-21 National Land Transport Programme.
This section provides information about which activities are required to have performance measures, and what approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) need to do to provide the required performance information.
If you need any assistance with the reporting requirements, please talk to your Waka Kotahi contact. Alternatively, you can get in touch through our contact and support form.
A range of improvement activities require performance measures based on cost, funding source and other considerations.
The following activities require performance measures in order to receive funding approval (effective from 1 July 2012):
Activity |
Details |
Road improvement activities with a total cost of $10 million or more
|
This applies to activities, and:
This excludes renewals, preventive maintenance and minor improvements.
|
Public transport improvement activities with a total cost of $4 million or more
|
|
Walking and cycling improvement activities with a total cost of $4 million or more
|
|
Activities with funding contribution from the Urban Cycleways Fund
|
|
Activities of particular interest |
Waka Kotahi may also nominate some activities below the $10 million threshold, if they are of particular interest. For example, where an activity is a strategic link or is innovative. |
In time, Waka Kotahi will sample a further 10% of activities. Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) will complete monitoring and reporting requirements for the activities to be sampled.
CloseApproved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) are required to submit performance measures as part of their funding requests for improvements. They also need to be prepared to provide these measures for other, smaller projects if Waka Kotahi selects them for monitoring.
As part of the process of preparing performance measures, approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) will consider the following questions:
Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) need to provide investment performance information within the 'performance measures' section of Transport Investment Online(external link) (under 'Activities'). This is done by selecting measures from the list of performance measures or by creating an alternative measure where no suitable measure exists (see business rules below).
There is a template with further details and a worked example [DOCX, 18 KB] for approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) to use when providing the required investment performance information.
Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) can nominate alternative measures if no appropriate measure exists. However, such measures must align with the Waka Kotahi framework for investment performance measurement. Please contact Waka Kotahi to discuss the suitability of alternative measures.
Where initiatives to be monitored are part of a package/programme for which all benefits may not be realised until all components are complete, Waka Kotahi recommends (where interim components deliver benefits) that approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) determine benefits both:
This ensures that progress is tracked throughout the project, including determining whether the components each deliver their respective benefits, and whether the package/programme delivers its overall benefits.
