This guide explains how Network Update Requests behave when they include co managed road segments. It shows how the system requests consent from all road managers and what you must do if a co manager approves, rejects or needs changes before the NUR can proceed.

NHVR Portal account with Road Manager access.

1. Open the NHVR Portal and log in using your Road Manager account.

2. Open the Network Update Request that includes the co managed road segments.

3. Review the left-hand panel. Co managed segments are highlighted and include a co managed icon so they can be easily identified.

4. Check that the co-management is correct. If it is not, update the road management database in the Road Management section before progressing the NUR.

5. When you submit or prepare to submit a NUR that includes co managed segments, the system automatically detects those segments and generates draft Information Requests for the corresponding road managers.

6. The reviewing road manager receives an email and in system notification advising that an NUR requires their approval. They cannot change the NUR itself.

7. The reviewing road manager approves or rejects the proposed changes to the co managed segments and may add comments explaining their decision.

8. Monitor the status of these Information Requests. The original NUR can only be submitted for review and publication once consent is received from all co managers.

9. If at least one co manager refuses consent, the NUR cannot proceed unless you remove the refused co managed segment(s) from the NUR, for example by clearing the update on those segments.

Co managed segments often occur at administrative boundaries, shared bridges or shared intersections; double check which party manages which asset before submitting.

If co management appears incorrect for a segment, fix it in Road Management before submitting the NUR, rather than trying to work around it.

Remember that the reviewing manager cannot edit your NUR; they can only approve or reject the co managed components.

If the NUR will not submit, check for outstanding approvals on co managed segments first.

Check internal Memorandums of Understanding or agreements with neighbouring councils or road authorities for co management arrangements.

Contact the NHVR Road Management or Network Management support team for assistance if co managed segments appear incorrect or you cannot progress a NUR.
