Collaboration and ClusteringWorking together Conversations have
been initiated in numerousareas throughout New Zealand looking
atdifferent forms of collaboration Conversations have taken place
between theNZTA and local authorities and also betweenvarious local
authorities REG provides assistance to structurecollaboration
including establishing a frameworkand facilitating As a start, many
regions are investigatingopportunities by having regular
conversations andsharing knowledge and practices 8. Collaboration
and Clustering(cont.)Current progress Six initiatives have accepted
REG support andare developing business cases They are Northland,
Western Bay ofPlenty, Waikato, Gisborne, SouthCanterbury, Central
Otago Marlborough Roads, Nelson and Tasman regionsare also
progressing well with their conversations Collaboration is taking
many forms from sharingknowledge at one end of the spectrum,
tointegrated shared service delivery at the other 9. Collaboration
and Clustering(cont.)Three key areas which build
towardscollaborative work: Operations: reviewing policies and plans
betweenroad controlling authorities to improveconsistency in
service delivery and seeking theone network experience (e.g traffic
operationscentres in major centres) Asset management: developing
strategic orinvestment plans by drawing on each othersexperience
Service delivery: establishing joint ventures orother formal
arrangements between the parties 10. Future workThe Task Force
recommended that the NZTA convene auser group or an established
group (eg a NationalStrategic Asset Management Group), drawn from
acrossthe sector to develop requirements for improved datainput,
transformation of the data into useful, repeatableand meaningful
information, dissemination, andeffectiveness in the use of data,
focusing on areas suchas: requirements for data, data-based systems
(eg RAMM RoadAssessment Maintenance Management database),
dTIMS(Deightons Total Infrastructure Management System)
andtechnology platforms measurements to assess the effectiveness of
different roadmaintenance projects and new materials measures of
asset consumption and its causes measurement to enable better
timing of interventions road classification. 11. What we value 12.
