The research will need to provide an understanding of the value, including tangible and intangible costs and benefits of meeting the requirements of environmental legislation for roading improvement programmes. Key questions/issues include:
• What is the value of meeting the intent of environmental legislation for roading improvement projects relative to other project costs and benefits?
• Compliance with environmental legislation imposes various costs at different stages of project lifecycles, but is intended to avoid other (environmental costs) that would otherwise be borne by society.
• Costs incurred include avoiding pursuing options; finding design solutions; regulatory costs; mitigation works: such as noise barriers, storm water treatment; the implementation of erosion and sediment control measures during construction as well as; environmental monitoring and offsetting.
• How is value currently determined, and what is the most appropriate systematic method to specifically attribute the costs and benefits of meeting environmental legislation in the future?
• Understanding the costs and benefits of meeting environmental legislation will help inform investment decision making at the National and Regional Programme level.
