Sub-divisional roads are roads and transport links such as rights of way and off-road cycleways planned and constructed within a subdivision that have not been vested and accepted by the relevant local authority as part of the local authority’s transport network ownership.
The following policy applies for costs related to sub-divisional roads.
The construction of sub-divisional roads including second coat sealing, is not eligible for funding assistance from the National Land Transport Fund.
Expenditure on formed or unformed dedicated roads giving access to the sub-divisional roading is eligible for funding assistance. The potential for supplementary funding should be considered in these cases, based on the level of private, non-transport related benefit that may accrue to third parties as a result of investment in these roads.
The maintenance and renewal of sub-divisional roads is eligible for funding assistance after their dedication to the approved organisation.
Sub-divisional roads are normally dedicated to approved organisations and become part of the local roading network once they have been accepted by the road controlling authority. Networks must be planned, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the technical documents in the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency register of network standards and guidelines and linked Process manual for network standards and guidelines.
