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

2.7    Current Levels of Service
The current levels of service for buildings and facilities is to support the services that are operated
from or within these assets to the Noosa community. Council’s buildings and facilities assets are
designed and constructed to suit the function of the service being provided which determines the
levels of service. The overall management of Council’s buildings and facilities are in accordance with
the Building Act 1975 and the various Codes of Practice and Australian Standards that support the
specific asset types of the buildings and facilities.

Regular inspections are critical to the management of buildings and facilities and the inspections
undertaken by Council, and by third party providers will meet the standards and statutory
requirements to ensure all assets remain safe to all users of Council’s buildings and facilities. The
scheduled maintenance activities will be within the defined timeframes to ensure that all potential or
identified defects are rectified.

Levels of service must be readily measurable and preferably from available data sources. Each level
of service should be stated in terms of appropriateness and understood by the community for whom
the service is provided. The levels of service in this AMP are intended to:

   Measure of the effectiveness of this AMP;
   Inform the Noosa community of the proposed type and level of service to be offered by Council;
   Assist with identification of the expenditure and benefits of the Noosa Council services being
    offered;
   Inform the Noosa community to assess the affordability and suitability of the Noosa Council
    services being offered;
   Provide focus for the development of future buildings and facilities asset management strategies;
   Provide guidance for current and future services to be offered; and
   Define the specific levels of service provided by Noosa Council.

The levels of service outlined in this buildings and facilities AMP are also aligned to:
 Statutory, legislative and relevant code requirements.
 Information obtained from asset condition assessments and maintenance analysis; and
 Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan.

The current levels of service for Council’s buildings and facilities have been defined at Annex A. It is
recommended that the future detailed asset management plans will provide this information against
the specific buildings and facilities.
