2. REG: Where did it come from?
Established to implement the recommendations
of the Road Maintenance Task Force…
Four general areas for improvement identified:
Adapting the business models used to deliver
maintenance, renewals and operations
Improving procurement practices, also in support of
new business models
Improving prioritisation and optimisation through
level of service differentiation
Consistently introducing enhanced asset
management practices
3. Enhanced asset management
practice
Requires:
Effective planning and delivery to achieve value
for money objectives, eg
early tendering opportunities
awareness of the annual programme and better
timing of works
improved knowledge sharing
A consistent road classification system and levels
of service across the whole network
Greater collaboration between asset owners
5. REG: A work in progress
Governance Group
established
Workstreams include:
Asset Management and
Service Delivery
Collaboration & Clustering
One Network Classification
Policy and Investment
6. One Network Road Classification
Purpose - develop an integrated
classification for NZ road network (state
highways & local roads) to:
assist with planning, investment, maintenance and
operational decision making
support collaboration and cooperation
support customer focused approach to seamless
movement of good and people
Joint local government/NZTA project that builds on
National road classification work & State highway
classification
Timeline - engagement with the sector mid-year &
final classification by December 2013.
7. Collaboration and Clustering
Working together
Conversations have been initiated in numerous
areas throughout New Zealand looking at
different forms of collaboration
Conversations have taken place between the
NZTA and local authorities and also between
various local authorities
REG provides assistance to structure
collaboration including establishing a framework
and facilitating
As a start, many regions are investigating
opportunities by having regular conversations and
sharing knowledge and practices
8. Collaboration and Clustering
(cont.)
Current progress
Six initiatives have accepted REG support and
are developing business cases
They are Northland, Western Bay of
Plenty, Waikato, Gisborne, South
Canterbury, Central Otago
Marlborough Roads, Nelson and Tasman regions
are also progressing well with their conversations
Collaboration is taking many forms from sharing
knowledge at one end of the spectrum, to
integrated shared service delivery at the other
9. Collaboration and Clustering
(cont.)
Three key areas which build towards
collaborative work:
Operations: reviewing policies and plans between
road controlling authorities to improve
consistency in service delivery and seeking the
‘one network’ experience (e.g traffic operations
centres in major centres)
Asset management: developing strategic or
investment plans by drawing on each other’s
experience
Service delivery: establishing joint ventures or
other formal arrangements between the parties
10. Future work
The Task Force recommended that the NZTA convene a
user group or an established group (eg a National
Strategic Asset Management Group), drawn from across
the sector to develop requirements for improved data
input, transformation of the data into useful, repeatable
and meaningful information, dissemination, and
effectiveness in the use of data, focusing on areas such
as:
requirements for data, data-based systems (eg RAMM – Road
Assessment Maintenance Management database), dTIMS
(Deighton’s Total Infrastructure Management System) and
technology platforms
measurements to assess the effectiveness of different road
maintenance projects and new materials
measures of asset consumption and its causes
measurement to enable better timing of interventions
road classification.

Workstreams addressing Road Maintenance Task Force Recommendations progress slow to date – important to have right people involved at governance level and on workstreams likely to be another workstream re National Pre-qualification Road Contractors tangible deliverables by end of year…refer to One Network ClassificationPURPOSE/VISION FOR THE ROAD EFFICIENCY GROUP (REG) To leave behind a set of closure policies, procedures, guidelines and tools that are capable of implementation by RCAs to achieve efficiencies and value for money with Road Maintenance Operations and Renewals for the New Zealand Transport Network. ROLE OF REG To deliver through the Project Director and seconded NZTA and RCA staff the shared work streams identified by the Road Maintenance Task ForceTo ensure the work of NZTA and RCA’s in implementing their own work streams is coordinated as far as practicalTo consult with and communicate with the roading/transporation sector in undertaking this workStrengthen alignments and relationships between NZTA as a RCA and LA’s as RCA’sStrengthen relationships and collaboration within the wider roading sector. In carrying out the above role REG will:seek the views of the Roading Industry through the Road Industry Advisory Group;consult with RCA’s as required; and
One key component of smarter management of transport networks is a nationally consistent classification of the road network so that we can:Deliver customers an agreed and consistent and seamless journey experienceBetter target investment to agreed levels of serviceDifferentiate levels of service - a matter of affordability as well as priority
