Published: | Category: Technical advice note | Audiences: Road controlling authorities, Road traffic engineers & consultants, Roading contractors

The State highway annual plan instructions manual (SM018) has been released for 2016/17.

Publication details

The State highway annual plan instructions manual (SM018) gives guidance to regional offices, contractors and consultants around what is expected in their annual plan submission for the financial year in question and the dates for which various submissions are due.

The manual outlines how forward works programs for pavement renewals and maintenance should be put together, as well as all other work categories within highway maintenance and operations.

What has changed

NPV and Prioritisation instructions are now held in separate documents located on the SM018 page on the HIP.

Preventative Maintenance is now classed under Minor Improvements. Instructions for Minor Improvements applications will be issued in June within the instructions for all capital improvements. 

Changes to the Annual Plan (both dollars and lengths) need to be agreed with local Asset Integrators and may require a ‘Request for annual plan adjustment form’ to be submitted.
