2018-04-10 S&O Agenda - Attachment 1 to Item 6 - Sand Recycling System Asset Management Plan

2.7      Current Levels of Service
The current levels of service for the SRS are to ensure that a suitable beach sand profile is provided
in accordance to the Environmental Permit (permit No. IPDE01651509) 365 days of the year at
Noosa’ Main Beach. In addition, key operational elements must be taken into consideration:

•   The contracted services provided to Council meet the statutory requirements of the permit and
    the conditions of the contract.
•   The scheduled maintenance activities will be within the defined timeframes.
•   The SRS will be operational and meet the limits of sand pumping to renourish Noosa Main Beach
    should erosion occur.

On average approximately 40,000m3 of sand per annum is transferred through the SRS and is
deemed sufficient to maintain a buffer of sand on Main Beach. In the event of erosion caused by
major storm events, it may be necessary to pump up to 80,000m3 in any given year.

The community expect that the SRS is operational in the event of erosion caused by major storm
events. The SRS operation is funded from the Main Beach Levy and the expectation is that when
the SRS is required to operate it does so without operational failures.

The recent SRS condition assessment has further defined the maintenance and inspection routines
required for this facility on a cyclic basis by asset class.




2.8      Measured Levels of Service
To demonstrate the levels of service at the SRS a table of performance measures has been drafted
and is located at Annex B. This table of Measured Levels of Services is utilised to inform responsible
staff of their obligations in maintaining the current levels of service. When targets are not achieved
they should be escalated and reported through the Asset Management Governance Framework.
