Transit NZ previously published an annual State highway plan and forecast, detailing planned state highway maintenance and capital improvements. The forecast set out in detail Transit's programme of work for the current year, the remaining plan years covered by the government's funding guarantee, and a forecast out to 10 years.
The State highway forecast was published by Transit NZ every year and released around the beginning July.
July 2008 was the last time the forecast was published, as Transit NZ and Land Transport NZ merged to form the NZ Transport Agency. State highway activities are now included in Regional Land Transport Plans and will be consulted on regionally.

This update incorporates Transit's share of the extra $500 million for land transport announced on 23 June 2005. The regions affected by the changes are: Auckland, Waikato, Hawke's Bay, Manawatu/Whanganui, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago. Updated information has been added on Table 1.
You will still need to refer to the Table 2 for the transport issues and background for the affected regions.
For other regions, the documents issued on 30 June 2005 (Table 2) are still current.

This forecast sets out Transit's long-term projections for state highway improvements and maintenance, based on Land Transport New Zealand's 10-year financial forecast for state highway expenditure.
Transit's 2005/06 state highway forecast does not include the extra $500 million funding for land transport announced by the government on 23 June (see above).
For ease of use the state highway forecast booklet has been broken into sections.
The table below contains information for each region, including a media release, a regional summary and forecast funding levels, a chart of projects and indicative construction start dates and a map showing the locations of projects in the plan. Regions are listed in alphabetical order.
