Work category 357 provides for non-routine work to protect the following from damage:
Work category 357 also provides for non-routine work to minimise the threat of road closure from natural phenomena.
Examples of qualifying activities include:
You can discuss with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency whether other potential activities not in the above list might also be eligible for inclusion in this work category..

Work category 357 excludes:
The approved organisation and Waka Kotahi (state highways) must identify individual resilience improvement activities and justify them economically. They must be the long-term, least-cost option calculated in present value terms.
The cost of proposed works must be assessed against the Waka Kotahi policy on uneconomic roading facilities.
A risk assessment for each proposed activity must be undertaken, using the risk assessment table below.
Protection planting is an example of an activity which may be eligible for assistance under this work category. The following components of protection planting are eligible for funding assistance under this work category:
Approval of funding assistance for protection planting is conditional on legally enforceable agreements that define the responsibilities for the management of retired areas outside the road reserve and ensure there is no duplication of funding assistance from Waka Kotahi or other sources.
The usual FAR is:
Applications for funding approval of proposed projects should be made through the resilience improvements module in Transport Investment Online(external link) (TIO). Projects of less than $1,000,000 should be added to a low-cost, low-risk programme. Projects over $1,000,000 must be added to a regional land transport plan for inclusion in the National Land Transport Programme.
TIO will automatically carryover the unspent allocation every year (excluding minor improvements). Approved organisations and Waka Kotahi (state highways) must declare as surplus the unused allocation for completed projects by making a cost-scope adjustment via the reviews module in TIO.

For eligible activities an investment assessment profile is required in addition to the risk assessment. This should use the Waka Kotahi Investment Assessment Framework.
The above risk assessment does not determine the results alignment for resilience Improvements activities. The road improvements results alignment assessment should be used to determine the results alignment.
