95 per cent of potholes on High Volume, National, and Arterial state highways to be repaired within 24 hours of identification.
85 per cent of potholes on Regional, Primary Collector, and Secondary Collector state highways to be repaired within 24 hours of identification.
“Achieving these targets will reduce the number of potholes on our roads, and the use of premium materials, innovative technology, and increased resources will prevent potholes from forming again in the same location.”
The targets announced today will be delivered through NZTA’s State Highway Pothole Prevention Activity Class.
“Our Government has delivered a record 91 per cent funding boost for State Highway Pothole Prevention over the next three years. But to get results, that funding boost must be paired with higher expectations. The targets I have announced today will help focus NZTA and our roading contractors on ensuring we can repair and prevent the potholes that have been plaguing our roads.
“Kiwis want potholes fixed and our roads properly maintained. Our record investment, coupled with these new targets and a renewed focus on delivery, will help improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of our transport network.
“Potholes are a safety hazard and cause significant disruption, which is why I encourage all New Zealanders that see a pothole on our highways to report it to NZTA immediately by calling 0800 44 44 49.”
Progress on achieving these targets will be tracked through automated real-time reporting by 1 August and NZTA is already holding daily operational calls with suppliers to monitor performance and identify trends.

Wow. They aim to deliver a promise…
Come on people… They’ve got to go.
I want to see injection death justice not more empty promises.
Might be some recently unemployed snipers we can crowdfund to look after our people.
Keep us safe. Our country is infested with cultist operatives destroying our nation from within
Time to eradicate the vermin.
Nice to get some value on the 5k in taxes 😂. Better than nothing I guess….
It was getting rather scary driving our local roads and highways needing to effectively dodge the potholes under the previous Labour Govt’s tenure.
Great to see action on this issue…well done!
More traffic cone rental for the Iwi.
Hone will be happy
