ANNEX F: Bridge Stakeholders
The internal and external stakeholders for the Bridges are detailed below:

 Role                         Function
 Internal
 Council Staff                Council officers play a major role in managing assets to ensure that they
                              provide a level of service that meets the needs of both residents and
                              visitors to the area. Council officers implement the components identified
                              in the road bridges asset management plan.
 Elected Council Officers     This stakeholder group includes Councilors and the Mayor for the Council.
                              They are primarily responsible to ensure that their decisions represent and
                              reflect the needs of the wider Noosa community.
 Bridge Working Group         Provides technical advice to improve decision making across all internal
                              stakeholders. The group must ensure the asset management planning
                              covers the whole of life and optimally balances cost, risk and performance
                              of the bridges where possible.
 Asset Manager                Infrastructure Services Director responsible for Infrastructure Services
                              branch management.
 Civil Operations – Bridge    Responsible for the day-to-day operations and maintenance activities and
 Crew                         minor to moderate capital works on timber and concrete bridges.
 Asset Management Branch      Responsible for facilitating Level 3 inspections in developing renewal
                              programs and delivering the bridge renewals.

                              available to Infrastructure Services branch management.
 External
 Community & Residents        Residents are the core users of road bridges. Their needs, wants and
                              expectations are conveyed to Council, which should be reflected in the
                              levels of service for maintaining a good road network.
 Councils Insurer             Ensures that all insurance and risk are adequately addressed.
 Visitors                     Visitor’s wants, needs and expectations drive the development in areas of
                              high tourism usage.

It is important that the defined roles have the capability and capacity within their management
responsibility to make good on the responsibilities assigned to them. From stakeholder discussions
held during development of the Asset Management Improvement Roadmap, some of these
responsibilities may be centralised in the first instance and then transferred to other parts of the
Organisation when the appropriate capability and/or capacity is developed.
