State highway three-year plan instructions manual (SM018) instructs how the plans for investing in state highway maintenance, operations and renewals need to be developed, presented, and reviewed.  

The objectives of SM018 are to: 

• facilitate the process for developing work category funding requests for the maintenance, operations, and renewals of the state highway network for a 3-year period and then confirming this annually
• assist all key roles to carry out their accountabilities and/or responsibilities
• contribute to ensuring the value for money story for the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) by setting expectations for how the 3-year plans give effect to the State Highway Investment Proposal (SHIP) and the State Highway Activity Management Plan (SHAMP)
• contribute to ensuring that investment decisions are based on the best possible asset information of the state highway network and associated assets and the analysis of the required treatment
• informing longer term investment needs.
