Better asset management planning and delivery: lessons from the New Zealand Road Maintenance Task Force

During 2011 a Task Force was assembled by the New Zealand Minister of Transport to identify improvement opportunities in road maintenance through New Zealand. Within a budget of around $900 million per year, ensuring operations and maintenance investment is correctly focussed and savings are sought was seen as a priority. Given Asset Management Practice provides a process to determine ‘what is required, how it will be provided, and how it will be funded’. Asset Management Planning was selected as core area of investigation by the Task Force. This paper presents the challenges faced by the Road Maintenance Task Force’s Asset Management Working Group, the recommendations developed and the lessons learnt.
