NAC Operations
Operations for the NAC are those activities not specifically targeted towards upgrade, replacement,
maintenance or restoration. These day to day operational activities have no effect on NAC facility
conditions but, are necessary to keep the assets appropriately utilised and operating. This includes
community service type operating costs e.g. facility staffing.

Typical operational activities include:

   Utility costs, e.g. water, electric, gas and rates;
   Cleaning and consumables;
   Salaries, depreciation;
   Security surveillance and patrols;
   Asset management data collection and condition assessment.
Operations expenditure is not fully distinguished from maintenance expenditure in the Council
financial systems; however there are some entries on a line item basis that relate to operations costs
e.g. utility costs including electricity, gas, water, depreciation and income.

It is estimated that operational costs will rise in the future with increasing utility costs; particularly
electricity. Noosa Council will consider various sustainability and energy efficiency measures in
existing and upgraded facilities to minimise costs and environmental impact. This operational
strategy is considered in relation to Zero Emissions Noosa™ (ZEN) Organisational Strategy.
Asset condition inspections and asset data collection is included in operational costs at the NAC.
Asset inspections, asset data collection and condition assessments will be carried out on a cyclic
three-year basis. It will support the accumulation of a more comprehensive and refined asset data;
creating a greater understanding of the condition and deterioration profile of assets. As buildings are
upgraded and renewal work is completed, asset inventories will be updated through the capitalisation
process.
