Answer

I am advised that NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) used the methodology developed in the funding assistance rates policy which is available on its website here: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/partners/planning-and-investment/planning-and-investment-knowledge-base/2024-27-nltp-investment-requirements/2024-27-nltp-principles-and-policies/funding-2/funding-assistance-rates-far-policy
