2. Introduction
2.1     Asset Management Plan Definition and Purpose
“Documented information that specifies the activities, resources and timescales required for an
individual asset, or a grouping of assets, to achieve the organisation’s asset management
objectives.”1

The purpose of the buildings and facilities asset management plan is to define the whole of life
activities associated with operating and maintaining buildings and facilities for the Noosa Community.
The plan identifies the assets and the levels of service to meet the expectations of the Noosa
Community. A key outcome of the asset management plan is the identification of the current state of
