Have your say on our community's assets to ensure that our Asset Management Plans meet future community needs.
What are Asset Management Plans?
Council is responsible for the management of more than $524.5m worth of assets for our community. Asset Management Plans (Plan/s) are developed to assist Council in managing these assets to an agreed standard of service, and to meet the needs of current and future users.
Council has four Plans that outline what is required to meet these defined service standards over the next 10 years.

What are Asset Management Plans?
Council is responsible for the management of more than $524.5m worth of assets for our community. Asset Management Plans (Plan/s) are developed to assist Council in managing these assets to an agreed standard of service, and to meet the needs of current and future users.
Council has four Plans that outline what is required to meet these defined service standards over the next 10 years.
Each Plan focuses on a distinct class:
buildings - such as the library, community centres and sport facilities.
open space - parks, playgrounds, bins, street furniture and lighting.
stormwater - drains, culverts and stormwater pits.
transport - footpaths, roads, kerbs and traffic control devices.
The Plans are Council's approach to managing our community's assets and include service levels, proposed funding requirements, forecasts of community needs, renewal and upgrade cycles and maintenance Plans.
Why are you consulting me?
The existing Plans are being revised, and Council is seeking your opinion on the current state of our community's assets, and how they are managed.
This feedback will be used to ensure that the future service levels and funding proposed for each of our asset classes is appropriate.
The revised AMPs
The existing Plans have been reviewed based on the management history of the assets and community satisfaction feedback from the November 2015 Annual Community Survey.
Your opinion will also inform the Plans to ensure that they deliver in line with community needs into the future.
What about the financial implications?
The financial implications of managing assets to achieve current and future service levels for the next 10 years - through renewal, upgrade and maintenance - are also defined within the Plans.
A summary of the proposed investment required to achieve these service levels is shown below. More detail on each asset class can be found within the Plan documents.
Where can I find copies of the Plans?
The four draft Plans (buildings, open space, stormwater and transport) and a Summary Information document are available in the Document Library (top right hand corner of this screen) and for viewing at the Civic Centre.
