EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Noosa Council has a statutory requirement to develop detailed asset management plans for its
major asset classes. The Road Bridges assets were chosen as the third asset management plan
drafted in the suite of asset management plans to be developed across Council’s infrastructure.
In developing the road bridges asset management plan, it was essential to consider the following
key objectives:

                       Describe the assets and the services provided.
                       Link Council’s long-term financial plan through.
                         o     An asset renewal program reflected in Council’s Capital Works Program.
                         o     A maintenance program.
                       Levels of service and demand are identified and determined.
                       The assets are identified with a condition.
                       Life cycle costs are addressed.
                       Long-term cash-flow requirements are forecast for asset renewals, maintenance and
                         operations.
                       Asset rationalisation and disposal is addressed.
                       The risk management activities associated with the assets.

These objectives align with both the Noosa Council’s asset management roadmap and the
Queensland Audit Office asset management outcomes.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Manager to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 7 August 2018 and endorse the Road Bridges Asset Management
Plan as a document that specifies the activities, resources and asset classes to achieve Noosa
Council’s asset management objectives.


REPORT
The purpose of the road bridges asset management plan is to define the whole of life activities
associated with operating and maintaining the road bridges for the Noosa Community. The plan
identifies the assets and the levels of service. A key outcome of the asset management plan is
the identification of the current state of asset condition and the development of renewal and
maintenance plans. Importantly, the identification of future costs and potential risks to the road
bridge assets is fundamental in achieving the asset management objectives for Noosa Council.
