About

Title: Guidelines for Highway Landscaping
Manual Code: SP/M/020
Edition: Version 2
ISBNNo: 0-478-10553-3
Issue Date: December 2006
Description:

A guideline that specifies best practice 'value-for-money' landscape management and outcomes within state highway corridors. Transit planning, capital project and network operations staff and suppliers should use the Guidelines to ensure Transit's expectations for highway landscaping are achieved in:

  • the planning, design and management of all proposed new sections of state highway
  • all state highway improvement work included in capital works and maintenance programmes
  • the improvement of existing sections of highway landscaping (retrofitting)
  • community projects within the highway corridor (eg Adopt-a-highway)
  • the development of the landscaping component of Corridor and Network Management Plans

In some instances the Guidelines may assist Transit in the review of district and regional planning instruments developed under the RMA.

Version 2 replaces Version 1 entirely.
