The National Pavements Technical Group (NPTG) is an Industry Sector Group established in 2008 consisting of pavement specialists from NZTA, Consultants, Contractors and Industry associations. The working party consists of 15 members that meet in person three times per year and twice online to progress the group’s strategic goals. For the current list of working party members, refer to the latest meeting minutes available via our linked in page at the link below.

Corresponding members are invited to join the in-person working party meetings and contribute to individual committees or working parties formed to progress the group’s strategic goals.
