elevating frustrations about street cone and visitors administration
practices which can be means out of proportion to the danger NZTA
are managing.”

that short-term visitors administration employees and gear is
being deployed for too lengthy, and in extreme portions, to
maximise income for contractors. Because of the Minister’s
course to NZTA, we all know simply how a lot it’s been costing
taxpayers. Now it’s measured, it may be
managed.”

setting agency expectations round NZTA taking a risk-based

to see extreme use of short-term pace limits and street
cones, or visitors administration measures being left in place
lengthy after a mission is completed.”

years might have constructed a second Ashburton Bridge six instances
