INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA ~~ _ 16 SEPTEMBER 2014

      The following principles apply to ensure the effective ongoing performance of Council’s asset
      management framework:

      1.   Capital Planning — we have an integrated approach in our approach to acquiring, disposing
           and renewing assets that ensures transparency and evaluates life cycle management of
           our assets.
      2.   Asset Planning — our focus is on risk, demand, community benefit and whole of life costs in
           the management of our assets.
     3:    Decision Making — our decisions are evidenced based and we utilise the asset information
           that we collate to ensure we consider the asset risks and life-cycle benefits for our
           community.
      4.   Governance — our asset management framework ensures we are accountable in
           establishing asset condition and performance with a whole of council approach to the
           continued improvement and development of asset management activities.

      ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

      Asset management requires a whole of Council approach and is the responsibility of the
      Leadership Team and staff. Specific asset class ownership is detailed in the Asset Responsibility
