2019-07-09 S&O Agenda - Item 5 - Attachment 1 - Building and Facilities Asset Management Plan

Buildings and facilities assets are vital assets to the variety of services provided across the Noosa
Shire. This asset management plan (AMP) consolidates Councils available data and analysis on the
Buildings and facilities assets. It also presents the output of how systematic approaches are applied
by Council to optimally balance cost, risk and performance. This is essential to meet forecasted
demand and the levels of service required.


2.4    Buildings and Facilities Asset Management Objectives
The AM objectives detailed in the AMP include:
•    A consolidated asset register that identifies:
     o       Asset description;
     o       Asset condition;
     o       Useful life and renewal dates; and
     o       Replacement costs.
•    The levels of service provided by buildings and facilities to the Noosa Community;
•    Current and future maintenance expenditure;
•    Identifying any future demand forecasts for the buildings and facilities;
•    Identifying any legislative considerations necessary in the management of the buildings and
     facilities;
•    Documenting the financial forecasts for the buildings and facilities;
•    Identifying all risks and opportunities related to management of the buildings and facilities; and
•    Documentation of any future actions identified to improve the asset management objectives of
     the buildings and facilities.

2.5    Levels of Service
The levels of service that are currently being maintained for Council’s buildings and facilities are
aligned to the Corporate Plan and Branch Plan objectives. The continuous development and
implementation of the asset management objectives that include good asset governance and asset
knowledge are also aligned to the Corporate Plan objectives. The service delivery is provided
internally with external specialists and technical consultants engaged as required.

Any changes in the levels of service to the buildings and facilities will be required to demonstrate the
benefit and be approved by Council. Changes in levels of service should be addressed through the
asset management governance framework prior to the approval by Council.

•     Building Act 1975
