Transport

Transit New Zealand Act 1989

Directive to Transit New Zealand: Maintenance Management Information System; Geographic Information System

In accordance with section 7 of the Transit New Zealand Act 1989, I direct Transit New Zealand to:

(i) Require all local authorities to have in place a maintenance management information system no later than 30 June 1994;

(ii) Prepare proposals by August 1993, for approval by myself and the Minister of Finance, for a Geographic Information System (GIS) to cover the whole roading network.

I : Maintenance Management Information System

The Government has therefore decided that all local authorities be required to justify their ongoing maintenance funding by having in place a computerised maintenance management system based on Transit New Zealand’s existing Road Assessment and Maintenance Management System (RAMMS).

Advice from Transit New Zealand indicates that only six local authorities do not presently meet this requirement, and that the costs for these authorities of joining the RAMMS system can be minimised.

The Authority is directed to implement this policy no later than 30 June 1994.

II : Geographic Information System

The Government regards the requirement for all territorial local authorities to belong to the RAMMS system as a first step towards the application of Geographic Information Systems applying to the whole public roading system in New Zealand. For effective management of the whole roading network, it is essential that all necessary management information is held in fully compatible Geographic Information Systems.

The Authority is therefore directed to prepare proposals for specifications for Geographic Information System (GIS) requirements to apply to all roads in New Zealand. As a minimum, the proposal should initially cover a system that:

(i) Records details of all roads and road reserve ownership, including land records;

(ii) Contains provision for the inclusion of all the maintenance and construction history on each section of road, including but not limited to the data currently recorded on RAMMS;

(iii) Provides for asset valuation and depreciation records;

(iv) Provides for records of volumes and characteristics of traffic on each road;

(v) Provides such other information as may be necessary for the proper management of the total roading system;

(vi) Is capable of being added to and developed in a flexible and open manner;

(vii) Can be linked to the computer databases of the forthcoming Land Transport Authority (currently the Land Transport Division of the Ministry of Transport) so as to provide safety records and related information on each road.

The Authority is directed to forward an initial proposal to this effect, including costs and implementation timescale, to the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Finance no later than August 1993, with a view to implementation beginning in the 1994-1995 financial year.

Dated at Wellington this 8th day of June 1993.

W. ROB STOREY, Minister of Transport.
