SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           11 OCTOBER 2016


The role of the Technical Officer – Capital Planning will be to facilitate the prioritisation and
development of the total Council 10 year capital program. The key function of the role is to assist
in the improvement of prioritisation and validation systems for initiated projects and develop design
briefs for projects aligned to the program.

The provision of these additional resources will allow the Asset Planning Coordinator to address
the strategic development of asset management as outlined in the asset management roadmap
initiatives, ensure Council develops good asset condition knowledge resulting in the ability to
understand our assets, .and will ensure that capital renewal programs will reflect identified risk
based priorities.

Previous Council Consideration

Ordinary Meeting, 15 September 2016, Item 2, Page 10
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Coordinator to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 6 September 2016 providing an update on the asset management
capability assessment and:
A.   Adopt the asset management roadmap (as provided at Attachment 1 to the report) as the
     asset management improvement plan for staff to commence implementation, and
B.   Support the implementation of the asset management initiatives and activities across the
     organisation, including those defined in the Noosa Council asset management roadmap.

Finance & Risk

The funding of these two positions was discussed with LT and will be funded from a combination
of operating funds provided as a new initiative in the 2016/17 budget and capitalised staff budgets
provided in the 2016/17 capital works programme.

Council’s strategic risk register identifies poor asset planning as a high risk that can impact on poor
decision making, community services and ultimately Council’s financial sustainability and
reputation
