The Highway Maintenance Interface Management Guide (guide) provides Waka Kotahi staff who are responsible for managing and maintaining the state highway (SH) corridors with guidance and direction for decision-making in challenging situations where the existing guidelines and policies are more difficult to navigate.

This guide has been produced to assist with resolving issues and difficulties that arise where responsibilities are ambiguous or uncertain, particularly around shared responsibilities or the boundary and interface between the highway asset/property and a neighbouring asset/property. It also includes advice for common issues that have arisen throughout the country in recent years. If an issue is not included specifically, this guide provides a principles-based approach for decision-making, including navigating legislation, policy, regulations and existing guidelines and for seeking advice from specialist teams within Waka Kotahi.
