RLTP guidelines and briefings

The NZTA provides guidelines for preparation of RLTPs. The guidelines are published in August prior to the three-year period to which the RLTP applies.

Entry of details into LTP online

Throughout the preparation of activities and the RLTP, details must be entered into LTP online, as this is used to create the RLTP content. The RTC, and ARTA for the Auckland region, is responsible for ensuring that this occurs.

This responsibility may be delegated to the RAG.

Reference: For detail of using LTP online, see Chapter C11 Using LTP online and the online user guides (contained within LTP online).

Assistance and advice on preparing RLTPs

The NZTA will provide assistance and advice through its regional offices to organisations preparing an RLTP, and organisations proposing activities and combinations of activities for inclusion in an RLTP.
