WC 140: Minor events

Examples of qualifying activities include, but may not be limited to:

• any activities that would otherwise qualify as emergency works except that the total cost of the works is less than $100,000 per event per approved organisation or Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (state highways) region, including:
  • removal of rocks and slip material from roads, public footpaths and cycleways that have resulted from minor events
  • repairs to road, public footpaths and cycleway surfaces in response to minor events
  • reinstatement of network facilities damaged as a result of a minor event.

You can discuss with Waka Kotahi whether other potential activities not listed above might also be eligible for inclusion in this work category.

Work category 140 excludes any activities excluded under work category 141: Emergency works, such as:

• the effects of scour, degradation, aggradation and land movements that have accumulated over time
• costs of damage or deficiencies from land movements that have not been triggered by a specific event
• the repair of any damage to work under construction, including within the post-construction maintenance period – this is a charge to the activity under construction and is expected to be covered by the supplier's insurance
• any damage that is the result of a human intervention or incident, eg caused by a vehicle crash or operational activity
• improvements associated with permanent reinstatement – these should be assessed and prioritised as improvement activities, separate from the emergency works funding application and, if approved, funded from the appropriate improvement activity class and work category.
