The NZUAG needs your support.

In accordance with the NZUAG Code of Practice (Section 8.2.2) all RCA’s and Utility Organisations are required to complete an annual survey.  The survey form was sent to all RCA’s in mid-2022, but as at December 2022 very few responses had been received.  This survey feedback is vital for the NZUAG to be able to analyse the data and provide insights to the Minister for Infrastructure (as required by the Code) on issues experienced by the sector and where improvements to the Code of Practice may be required.

Please ensure your organisation has provided their mandatory response by the end of January 2023.  Please contact [email protected] if you require any further information.

Registrations are open for Waka Kotahi’s upcoming AMDS November webinars.  The webinars will include an update on the development of the data standard, AMDS implementation and more information about the train the trainer workshops. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

If you would like to send questions in advance, you can email [email protected]

Are you interested in what New Zealand’s land transport system should look like in the future? What do you think might be a fair way to fund it?

Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures and Te Manatū Waka Ministry of Transport are working together to see what people think about the question ‘who pays for what?’ in the future land transport system.

They are currently running an interactive Pol.is conversation online – click here to join in or jump back in if you’ve had a look previously.

At this point statements to be submitted closes on Friday 4 November and voting on statements will close on Friday 11 November.

The RIMS (Roading Infrastructure Management Support) Forum Organising Committee invites you to submit an abstract for the 2023 Road Infrastructure Management Forum. The theme “Leave No One Behind” encompasses both our industry peers and the wider communities of Aotearoa, and the forum will be an opportunity to share experiences and learnings from within the sector to better support others.

Kia ora members,

The RCA Forum prides itself in bringing quality and thought provoking forums for our members.

To ensure we are able to do this, and to provide a more timely update on the NLTP 2024-2027, we will reschedule the planned 7 December RCA Forum webinar to a new date around late February/early March 2023. This will enable us to have a more informed and robust conversation on what the new GPS means for you and for our communities.

We know you won’t want to miss out on this event and we will make sure the new date is communicated to you with plenty of time to register.

For those of you who have already registered there is no need to register again.  We will be in touch to confirm the new date with you.

We look forward to you seeing you in the New Year!
