Consultation

Updated: 25 August 2010

We’re committed to a collaborative approach to transport planning, funding and development. It’s an approach that delivers integrated transport solutions that best meet the needs of New Zealanders. To achieve these results, we seek open and honest consultation across a range of activities with all our stakeholders, including road users, business, local government, communities and iwi.

The activities we consult on


Projects and programmes

We undertake consultation for programmes and projects according to specific scope, process and consultation principles set out by the Land Transport Management Act 2003.

Land transport rules

We undertake consultation on behalf of the Minister of Transport for the making of land transport rules. The Minister has a statutory responsibility under the Land Transport Act 1998 to notify the intention to make the rule and to consult with interested groups on the proposed rule.

We go beyond the minimum statutory requirements by maintaining a database of interested groups and individuals and undertaking extensive consultation on each rule. Submissions received on draft rules are summarised and analysed and the rule redrafted to take into account the submissions received. If necessary, we undertake further consultation with key groups before submitting a proposed rule to government.

Policy consultation and communication

We consult and communicate with relevant organisations and individuals whenever we substantively develop, enhance or review policy. Appendix 3 of the Planning, programming and funding manual details this consultation and communication process.
