1. Executive Summary Noosa Council is responsible for a diverse and extensive range of community assets which represents a major investment over many years. To fulfil its objectives in delivering a variety of services to the community, Council must ensure that the assets supporting these services are managed in a way that guarantees an optimal balance of cost, risk and performance. Council’s pathways and boardwalks play a vital role in the services provided to the community across the Noosa Shire. There is approximately 209km (3,135 segments) of pathway and boardwalk assets on Council’s financial register considered in this Asset Management Plan (AMP). These assets have a current replacement value of $67.4m, equating to approximately 6% of Council’s financial assets. Operational and maintenance activities are fundamental for the ongoing management of the pathways and boardwalks; it is considered an investment not a liability. The pathways and boardwalks assets rely on operational and maintenance costs for the serviceability of the assets identified in this plan. These activities are a significant annual investment that directly influence the potential for pathways and boardwalks assets to reach its intended service life. The ongoing development of asset knowledge through asset inspections, improved maintenance activities, subsequent defect monitoring and repairs are fundamental in developing sustainable intervention levels for renewals and replacement of pathways and boardwalks assets. The capital, operational and maintenance expenses for pathways and boardwalks make up approximately 1.5% of the $94m annual budget. The capital works program fluctuates from year to year, however, the 2019/20 capital works program the capital investment of $289k for pathways and boardwalks equates to 1% of the $29.5m capital works program. The mitigation of risks is fundamental in the management of pathways and boardwalks assets for Council to make informed decisions. With the focus placed on consistent cyclical inspections across all pathways and boardwalks and condition data accurately recorded in the Technology One - asset management system (T1). This will be achieved by reconciling financial asset data, operational data and inspection data to have a single point of truth for all pathways and boardwalks assets. This pathways and boardwalks asset management plan (AMP) meets the objectives of the Noosa Corporate Plan. Key focus areas under the Corporate Plan’s Theme 4: Long term planning for Noosa Shire – includes: undertaking long term financial sustainability planning identifying asset management outcomes and establishing functional Asset Management Plans for all Council asset classes. These focus areas have been a major driver in the development of this AMP. The pathways and boardwalks AMP provides the relevant information and organisational activities to ensure the organisational objectives for asset management have been achieved and that the pathway for continual improvement across all management activities for pathways and boardwalks has been established. The provision of pathways and boardwalks is, therefore, a significant pillar of the infrastructure services provided by Council. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 3
Section 5
2. Introduction
2.1 Asset Management Plan Definition and Purpose
“Documented information that specifies the activities, resources and timescales required for an
individual asset, or a grouping of assets, to achieve the organisation’s asset management
objectives.”1
The purpose of the pathways and boardwalks asset management plan is to define the whole of life
activities associated with operating and maintaining pathways and boardwalks for the Noosa
Community. The plan identifies the assets and the levels of service to meet the expectations of the
Noosa Community. A key outcome of the asset management plan is the identification of the current
state of the asset conditions and the development of renewal and maintenance plans. Importantly,
the identification of future costs and potential risks to the assets that support the service for operating
pathways and boardwalks is fundamental in achieving the asset management objectives for Noosa
Council.
2.2 Scope
The scope of this asset management plan is to ensure the pathways and boardwalks meets,
demonstrates and incorporates the following key asset management objectives:
• A description of assets and the services provided;
• Links to Councils long term financial plan through:
o An asset renewal program reflecting 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 forecasted for asset renewals, maintenance and
operations.
• Asset rationalisation and disposal is addressed.
• The risk management activities associated with the pathways and boardwalks.
2.3 Pathways and boardwalks
There are many different asset types within the pathways and boardwalks asset management plan,
with various units and components of measurement. The assets included in this AMP are
summarised below:
o Pathways
o Boardwalks
o Stairs
Pathways and boardwalks assets are vital assets to the variety of services provided across the
Noosa Shire. This asset management plan (AMP) consolidates Councils available data and analysis
on the Pathways and boardwalks assets. It also presents the output of how systematic approaches
are applied by Council to optimally balance cost, risk and performance. This is essential to meet
forecasted demand and the levels of service required.

Section 6
2.4 Pathways and boardwalks Asset Management Objectives
The AM objectives detailed in the AMP include:
• A consolidated asset register that identifies:
o Asset description;
o Asset condition;
o Useful life and renewal dates; and
o Replacement costs.
• The levels of service provided by pathways and boardwalks to the Noosa Community;
• Current and future maintenance expenditure;
• Identifying any future demand forecasts for the pathways and boardwalks;
• Identifying any legislative considerations necessary in the management of the pathways and
boardwalks;
• Documenting the financial forecasts for the pathways and boardwalks;
• Identifying all risks and opportunities related to management of the pathways and boardwalks;
and
• Documentation of any future actions identified to improve the asset management objectives of
the pathways and boardwalks.
2.5 Levels of Service
The levels of service that are currently being maintained for Council’s pathways and boardwalks are
aligned to the Corporate Plan and Branch Plan objectives. The continuous development and
implementation of the asset management objectives that include good asset governance and asset
knowledge are also aligned to the Corporate Plan objectives. The service delivery is provided
internally with external specialists and technical consultants engaged as required.
Any changes in the levels of service to the pathways and boardwalks will be required to demonstrate
the benefit and be approved by Council. Changes in levels of service should be addressed through
the asset management governance framework prior to the approval by Council.
2.6 Legislative & Standards Requirements
The legislative and Standards requirements relative to pathways and boardwalks are:
• Building Act 1975
• Disability Discrimination Act (Commonwealth) 1991
• National Construction Code 2015
• The National Construction Code of Australia (NCC)
• Coastal Protection & Management Act
• Queensland Heritage Act
• Nature Conservation Act
• Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act
• Workplace Health and Safety Act
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 5
Section 7
2.7 Current Levels of Service
The current levels of service for pathways and boardwalks is to support the services that are
operated from or within these assets to the Noosa community. Council’s pathways and boardwalks
assets are designed and constructed to suit the function of the service being provided which
determines the levels of service. The overall management of Council’s pathways and boardwalks
are in accordance with the Building Act 1975 and the various Codes of Practice and Australian
Standards that support the specific asset types of the pathways and boardwalks.
Regular inspections are critical to the management of pathways and boardwalks and the inspections
undertaken by Council, and by third party providers will meet the standards and statutory
requirements to ensure all assets remain safe to all users of Council’s pathways and boardwalks.
The scheduled maintenance activities will be within the defined timeframes to ensure that all potential
or identified defects are rectified.
Levels of service must be readily measurable and preferably from available data sources. Each level
of service should be stated in terms of appropriateness and understood by the community for whom
the service is provided. The levels of service in this AMP are intended to:
Measure of the effectiveness of this AMP;
Inform the Noosa community of the proposed type and level of service to be offered by Council;
Assist with identification of the expenditure and benefits of the Noosa Council services being
offered;
Inform the Noosa community to assess the affordability and suitability of the Noosa Council
services being offered;
Provide focus for the development of future pathways and boardwalks asset management
strategies;
Provide guidance for current and future services to be offered; and
Define the specific levels of service provided by Noosa Council.
The levels of service outlined in this pathways and boardwalks AMP are also aligned to:
Statutory, legislative and relevant code requirements.
Information obtained from asset condition assessments and maintenance analysis; and
Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan.
The current levels of service for Council’s pathways and boardwalks have been defined at Annex A.
It is recommended that the future detailed asset management plans will provide this information
against the specific pathways and boardwalks.
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 6
Section 8
2.8 Measured Levels of Service
To demonstrate the levels of service of the pathways and boardwalks assets, Noosa Council
undertook an exercise to define the service outputs for the significant services that the pathways and
boardwalks assets support against the Community level of service and the Technical level of service
criteria.
Community LOS – relates to how the community receives the service in terms of safety, quality,
quantity, reliability responsiveness, cost efficiency and legislative compliance; and
Technical LOS – are the technical measures of performance developed to ensure the minimum
community levels of service are achieved?
These service outputs are tabled at Annex A. The service output documents are to be utilised to
inform responsible staff of their obligations in maintaining the current levels of service. When targets
are not achieved, they should be escalated and reported through the Asset Management
Governance Framework. Further development of levels of service across all pathways and
boardwalks assets is required and has been identified as an improvement initiative within this
document.
2.9 Future Levels of Service
Ongoing development of the levels of service for maintenance and inspections has been undertaken
with the development focused on a hierarchy criteria approach. Each asset is assigned a hierarchy
level based on the specific criteria and the ongoing level of service is determined based on this
hierarchy level. The future levels of service will be incorporated within the 2021/22 pathways and
boardwalks service catalogue, that is reviewed as part of the annual budget process.
2.9.1 Hierarchy
The Pathway and Boardwalk network has been classified in accordance with the service it provides.
This classification covers the entire pathway network including boardwalks, stairs and footbridges.
The hierarchy applies to all new and existing erected permanent and temporary pathways wholly or
partly controlled by council.

3. Future Demand 3.1 Demand Drivers There is currently an inconsistent approach of demand management applied to the management of the pathways and boardwalks through the monitoring of the asset conditions, changes in the service delivery and usage levels. Increases in patronage and operational changes are key demand drivers on the current and future levels of serviceability for pathways and boardwalks. Significant changes in the services provided and the monitoring of these activities should act as an indicator to reviewing demand management for a specific building and facility. It is Council Policy that any change in the level of service due to demand is reported to Council in accordance with current guidelines and practices. The major drivers of capital upgrade for pathways and boardwalks will be: external funding opportunities to improve the current levels of service, risk management – including safety and compliance, changes in usage levels, climate change adaptation, re-purposing of a facility, changes in technologies, Impacts on operational and maintenance activities. The regular pathways and boardwalks inspection programs will act as a trigger for any need to improve on preventative maintenance activities to preserve the life of the assets. In addition, the development of programs such as establishing the guiding principles for upgrading, new or renewing pathways and boardwalks and specific strategies such as the cycling and walking strategy and transport strategy will determine the priority of upgrade works required on these assets into the future. 3.2 Demand Impacts on Assets Impacts affecting demand include changes in demographics, seasonal factors, consumer preferences and expectations, technological changes, economic factors, environmental awareness, legislation changes, and historical importance. Council will respond to demand for new services by ensuring that a combination of managing existing assets (including upgrades/renewals of components) and by providing new assets to meet these current and predicted future demands. The development of the Noosa Council Cycling and Walking Strategy combined with the overarching Transport Strategy will be fundamental in identifying demand impacts on the pathways and boardwalk network. Other operational demand impacts on pathways and boardwalks relate to periods of scheduled closures for asset repairs/refurbishment or maintenance works. These scheduled activities should ideally be undertaken outside of the peak demand periods where patronage of these assets is most prevalent. Where practical, after-hour works for scheduled maintenance and capital works may be necessary to reduce the impacts on the services these assets support. 3.3 Climate Change Adaptation Climate Change Adaptation initiatives will be another demand driver that will affect assets that are located in coastal and foreshore areas. Consideration for tidal surge, rising sea levels and erosion must be taken into consideration for future upgrades for those affected assets. Those assets can be identified in the new coastal hazard layers created as part of Council’s development of a Climate Change Adaptation Plan and viewed on Intramaps. They are located in the Development Assessment module, under the ‘Coastal Hazards’ folder. Consultation with Council’s Program Coordinator - Climate Change Adaptation should be undertaken for any assets within these zones. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 11
Section 13
4. Lifecycle Management Plan
4.1 Assets
Council’s pathways and boardwalks plays a vital role in the services provided to connecting the
community across the Noosa Shire. There are a number of different asset types within the pathways
and boardwalks asset management plan, with various units of measurement.
These assets included in this AMP are summarised below:
o Pathways
o Boardwalks
o Stairs
4.2 Asset Valuation
The value of the pathways and boardwalks Assets, at the end of the financial year 2017/2018 for the
purposes of this AMP is summarised below.
Pathways and
Asset Values at 2017/18 boardwalks
Current replacement cost $67,411,419
Depreciable amount $14,949,687
Depreciated replacement cost $52,461,732
Annual depreciation expense $1,127,943
Table 1: Pathways and boardwalks Asset Valuation
4.3 Asset Condition
Levels of service and asset management decision making is directly linked to asset condition; this
determines what condition the asset should be in before an asset management intervention. The
intent of current and future Condition Assessments (CA) is to:
• Provide a robust and repeatable process for carrying out condition assessments on Council’s
pathways and boardwalks assets;
• Use condition assessments to develop programs for intervention with regards to further
inspection, monitoring, maintenance and renewals;
• Provide a basis for information for the modelling of condition data for likelihood of asset failure
for those assets not inspected.
A consistent condition ranking scale has been chosen by Council as the framework for measuring
pathways and boardwalks assets, based on the 1 to 5 ranking according to the International
Infrastructure Management Manual (IIMM). Any asset scoring 4 (fair) to 5 (poor) will be considered
and prioritised under an asset specific renewal program.
Condition assessments will be undertaken by internal staff and are planned to commence throughout
the 2020/21 financial year. The data collected will be utilised to create a renewal program. Condition
assessments are cyclic and are proposed to be staged across a 3-5year period based on the
hierarchy of the assets, to cover all of Council’s pathways and boardwalks to ensure the continued
development and priorities of the renewal programs.
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 12
Section 14
In addition to the above condition assessments, Council staff undertake visual condition assessments for requests that have been reported for assets in poor condition. These assessments are undertaken on a “reactive” approach to determine if the request warrants the need for future renewals. The majority of asset classes within the pathways and boardwalks have not had a physical condition assessment undertaken on them. For the purpose of this AMP, the assets that have not had physical condition assessments, the condition has been assigned as an age-based condition which is determined on the remaining useful life of the asset and is referred to as the “modelled condition”. Ongoing development and prioritisation will ensure that all pathways and boardwalks assets are reconciled within the asset system and condition assessments are undertaken. When undertaking condition assessments, the asset attributes are updated prior to the next asset evaluation. The condition assessments will enable the development of renewal programs for the specific assets. In the development of the asset system and the inspection program, there is a number of pathway and boardwalk assets that have been discovered and are yet to be commissioned on Council’s financial asset register. These assets are currently being commissioned through the Asset Data Management project and are being prioritised against other asset data management activities within the project. There is approximately a further 20% of assets within the pathways and boardwalks asset class to be commissioned onto the asset financial register, totalling approximately 48 kilometres of pathway and boardwalks. In asset reporting an approach to componentisation of the assets to the specific asset class has been undertaken. This breakdown and componentisation of assets to this level is in accordance with the financial asset standards and enables more detailed condition information at the component level. These components are detailed below and reported consistently throughout the AMP: Pathways Boardwalks Stairs Figure 1 details the total number of assets by both physical condition and modelled conditions that have been commissioned on our financial asset register. Any pathways and boardwalks assets that have reached condition 5 will be included in the relevant renewal programs of the 10-year Capital Works Program. Pathways and boardwalks assets have a modelled condition based on their remaining life and does not reflect the physical condition of those assets. Undertaking physical condition assessments of the assets is programed to commence throughout the 2020/21 financial year. Physical condition knowledge will assist in developing a more realistic approach to developing renewal plans that are prioritised and planned. This information is utilised in prioritising the physical condition assessments. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 13
Section 15
Figure 1: Total Condition by Number of Pathway & Boardwalk Assets The graph above highlights that the majority of our assets are in a good to very good condition based on their age. There is only a small quantity of assets that are condition 3 – 5 and these assets will be prioritised for physical condition assessments in the near future to determine if the asset is maintaining the level of service. Figure 2: Condition of Pathways & Boardwalks by Hierarchy Figure 2 provides a breakdown of the condition by hierarchy. The not applicable category refers to those assets that are yet to be assigned a Hierarchy. The graph below enables us to prioritise where our inspections should be focused on in the short to medium term. In addition, this information is utilised in determining priority for developing robust asset renewal programs. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 14
Section 16
Figure 3: Pathways and boardwalk Values by Hierarchy Figure 3 identifies all pathways and boardwalks asset values by hierarchy and condition. The graph highlights that the highest value assets are in good condition. Undertaking physical condition assessments of the assets is required. Physical condition knowledge will assist in developing a more realistic approach to developing renewal plans that are prioritised and planned. This information is utilised in prioritising the physical condition assessments. Figure 4: Pathway and boardwalk by network value Figure 4 identifies the assets and the relevant value of each condition. The significance of the graph below is that there is a very low value of assets in a poor condition and a very high value of our assets in a very good condition. Those assets that have been identified as conditions 4 or 5 will be identified for renewal in the 10-year Capital Works Program. The continued approach to having good sustainable asset renewal interventions will ensure this level of condition is achieved across future generations. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 15
Section 17
The current condition is based on the remaining life of the asset. It is recommended to reconcile this
asset information and undertake physical condition inspections to develop a suitable renewal
program for these assets. The development of these renewal programs for each asset class is
essential in further improving the 10-year Capital Works Program.
4.4 Pathways and boardwalks Operations & Maintenance Plan
Operational and maintenance activities are fundamental for the ongoing management of the
pathways and boardwalks; it is considered an investment rather than a liability. The pathways and
boardwalks assets rely on operational and maintenance costs for the serviceability of the assets
identified in this plan. These activities are a significant annual investment that directly influence the
potential for pathways and boardwalks assets to reach their intended service life. The ongoing
development of asset knowledge through asset inspections, improved maintenance activities,
subsequent defect monitoring and repairs are fundamental in developing sustainable intervention
levels for renewals and replacement of pathways and boardwalks assets.

Table 2: Annual Operational & Maintenance Costs across pathways and boardwalks
Maintenance and operational costs are identified to ensure council understands the whole of life
costs associated with the day-to-day management of pathways and boardwalks assets. Figures 5 &
5 below, identifies the long term financial commitment required in operating and maintaining pathway
and boardwalk assets. In order to maintain assets to an acceptable level, the cumulative costs over
a ten-year period will equate to $14.2m.
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 16
Section 18
Figure 5: Pathways and Boardwalks Operating Costs & Forecast Figure 6: Pathways and Boardwalks Maintenance Costs & Forecast It is proposed to develop a more detailed list of operational and maintenance activities per annum by service program and utilises the T1 asset management system to identify maintenance by the breakdown of asset classes and hierarchy within the pathways and boardwalks asset classes. In addition, more detailed and longer term planning for operations and maintenance has been identified as an improvement from this AMP. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 17
Section 19
4.5 Asset Renewals The purpose of developing a renewal plan is to identify assets that need to be replaced to maintain the current level of service. Asset failure due to lack of renewal will affect the capacity to deliver future renewals of pathways and boardwalks and subsequently the service these assets provide to the Noosa Community. Pathways and boardwalks asset renewals are condition based. Condition assessments provide staff the ability to develop capital renewal programs. The ongoing asset management maturity relies heavily on the continued development of the condition assessments and subsequent implementation of maintenance and renewal plans. Renewal expenditure is work which does not increase the pathways and boardwalks design capacity but restores, rehabilitates, replaces or renews an existing asset to its original service capacity. Improved condition assessment data capture is currently being developed to include asset renewal considerations based on physical conditions and estimates of remaining useful life of assets to guide and improve renewal programs. Renewal plans are developed to maintain levels of service to ensure assets achieve their optimal useful life before they reach the asset condition range of 5. Staff continue to work through the various asset classes to develop renewal programs for the specific asset classes. As previously stated - In the absence of condition data, an age-based approach to identify when Council’s pathways and boardwalks will reach their useful life has been developed to determine an overall renewal plan. Priority is required across all the assets classes that have not had physical condition assessments to develop a suite of renewal programs. The graph below depicts the past and planned renewals by capital program including the next 10 years. There are major renewals planned for Boardwalks in 2024 and ongoing renewals across pathways across the span of the 10 years. It is expected that through ongoing and detailed physical condition assessments that more defined renewals will replace the traditional “bucket” allocations that are currently identified and replaced with asset specific renewal programs within the 10-year capital works program. As the pathways and boardwalks assets age, continued condition assessments are required to monitor the assets deterioration profiles and will produce the more defined renewal plans. The graph below enables Council to identify and plan for these significant renewal activities for the next 10 years. Figure 7: Pathways and boardwalks Asset Renewal Costs Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 18
Section 20
4.6 Capital Upgrades, Expansion and New Assets There is a need to develop more maturity in the overall assessment and management of our pathways and boardwalks assets before there is a consideration for further upgrades and expansion of the pathways and boardwalks assets. Changes in demographics, increased patronage, cost benefits, sustainability, environmental impacts and overall community benefit are key indicators when planning for capital upgrades and new pathways and boardwalk assets. The graph below identifies the 2018/2019 financial year as the most significant investment for upgrade and expansion projects for the next 10 years. These works related to the completion of the iconic Park Road Boardwalk at Noosa Main Beach. This project is a good indication of the commitment from Council to further develop the services it provides to the community as well as promote future economic development to the tourism and business sectors in the provision of such an iconic piece of infrastructure. Figure 8: Pathways and boardwalks proposed upgrades Costs The development/implementation of the Transport Strategy and the Walking and Cycling Strategy will be fundamental in the ongoing development of the upgrade program. As a result, it is anticipated there will be more upgrades required into the future development of the 10-year capital program for the pathways and boardwalk network. The development of the Walking and Cycling Strategy will further improve the priority of upgrades, expansions and new pathway and boardwalk infrastructure and enable greater planning and potential for obtaining external funding opportunities. Once the Walking and Cycling Strategy is adopted by Council this plan will be updated to reflect the projects identified within the strategy to ensure the AMP and the Walking and Cycling Strategy remain aligned. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 19
Section 21
4.7 Capitalisation of Assets All new and renewed assets will be acquired and commissioned in accordance with the Noosa Council Capital Delivery Framework. 4.8 Disposal and Replacement of Assets Disposal of assets will be consistent with statutory and regulatory requirements. The replacement of assets will be driven from the condition assessments. The disposal and commissioning of assets from the asset register is undertaken in the capitalisation and asset write-on/off process. This process is being delivered via the Asset Management Branch and Finance Branch. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 20
Section 22
5. Risk Management
Risk management is a coordinated approach to the management and control of risk by Noosa
Council.
5.1 Critical Assets
The identification of critical assets based on the consequence of failure multiplied by the likelihood
of failure; as adapted from the International Infrastructure Manual 2015 Section 3.2.4 has been
undertaken to enable the prioritization of asset management and financial resources. Pathways
and boardwalks are a critical asset class to the Noosa Community and has significant asset value
on Council’s asset register. The management of Council’s pathways and boardwalks assets should
continue to be prioritised to ensure any significant risks are mitigated before they escalate further
and impact on the Community.
5.2 Risk Assessment
It is important to have a good understanding of the risks associated with the operation of the
pathways and boardwalks assets. Council continues to develop its pathways and boardwalks
management activities to ensure that the pathways and boardwalks are meeting the intended design
life, and where necessary work on the optimised intervention for undertaking rehabilitation and
renewal activities.
The key risks associated with achieving the above objectives of Council’s pathways and boardwalks
management activities and associated levels of service have been identified throughout this AMP
and are outlined below:
1. Unanticipated asset deterioration and structural failure possibly accelerated by the increasing
severity in weather and climate change conditions;
2. Asset Performance – No asset failures that influence the service levels. A complete
understanding of all pathways and boardwalks assets and their relevant asset condition will
assist in mitigating potential risks.
3. Asset Knowledge - The need to understand the performance of all the assets at component
level is essential in mitigating risks. Assets such boardwalks, pathways, lighting and signage
are assets that require more detailed inspections and improved maintenance activities to
ensure assets do not become a risk to the community.
4. Funding – the ongoing operational and maintenance costs for pathways and boardwalks will
continue to rise and efficiencies and cost savings are reviewed regularly. Grant opportunities
for renewals/upgrades must always be considered.
These risks and all other current risks will be regularly reviewed and if necessary, they can be
documented in the annual Branch Plan. Should there be a need for them to be further escalated they
can be addressed for consideration by the Asset Management Working Group, Executive Team, and
Audit and Risk Committee.
To mitigate these risks there are resulting actions from this AMP. For Council to make informed
decisions, it is understood that focus must be placed on consistent cyclical inspections across all
pathways and boardwalks assets with condition data accurately recorded in T1 asset management
system. This then supports the reconciling of financial asset data, GIS data and inspection data to
have a single point of truth for all pathways and boardwalks assets.
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 21
Section 23
6. Financial Summary 6.1 Financial Statements and Projections Council’s pathways and boardwalks play a vital role in the services provided to the community across the Noosa Shire. There is approximately 209km (3,135 segments) of pathway and boardwalk assets on Council’s financial register considered in this Asset Management Plan (AMP). These assets have a current replacement value of $67.4m, equating to approximately 6% of Council’s financial assets. The capital, operational and maintenance expenses for pathways and boardwalks make up approximately 1.5% of the $94m annual budget. The capital works program fluctuates from year to year, however, the 2019/20 capital works program the capital investment of $289k for pathways and boardwalks equates to 1% of the $29.5m capital works program. The annual operating plan details the financial statements and projections associated with the operational and maintenance expenses for the services the pathways and boardwalks support on an annual basis. The capital investments including renewals, upgrades and expansions are highlighted in the annual capital works program which is reflected in the 10-year capital works program. 6.2 Funding Strategies The immediate improvements to funding requests for maintenance and renewals in the budget process are now evidence based and are supported from the condition assessments that have been carried out. The funding strategy, key assumptions, reliability and confidence levels are detailed in the Council’s long-term financial plan. More detailed funding strategies that promote the long-term sustainability of the pathways and boardwalks will be further developed and defined in future asset management plans. 6.3 Budget Forecasts Budget forecasts will continue to be developed as information is captured and reported from the Technology One (T1) financial system. Through the annual review of actuals, maintenance and renewal activities against budget will initiate further development and identify trends that are reportable and reflect future year forecasts. The development of the Walking and Cycling Strategy will impact the current budget forecast within the AMP, based on the proposed upgrades, expansions and new pathway and boardwalk infrastructure identified within the strategy. When the Walking and Cycling Strategy is adopted by Council this plan and the budget forecast will be updated to ensure the AMP and the Walking and Cycling Strategy remain aligned. Figure 9 below identifies the current forecasts for the operational, maintenance upgrade and renewal expenses to demonstrate the whole of life costs over a 10-year period for the pathways and boardwalks by program, in the amount of $32.3m. There will be further asset renewal, upgrades and maintenance activities to be developed over coming years that will influence this current forecast. To achieve good asset knowledge of all pathways and boardwalks assets it is important to continue with undertaking asset data reconciliation and physical condition assessments to make well informed asset decisions. The pathways and boardwalks assets have varying useful lives for the asset classes maintained by Council. The pathways and boardwalks useful lives vary, based on construction, material type and have estimated lives between 10 – 60 years. Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 22
Section 24
Figure 9: Pathways and Boardwalks 10-Year forecasted expenditures
Development of ongoing maintenance activities will ensure that future asset failure will be minimised
with a “no-surprises” approach for future funding forecasts. This will be supported through the initial
development of condition monitoring to predict potential maintenance and renewal requirements. In
compiling the current forecasts the following general assumptions have been identified.
• Proposed Capital Renewal Program will be funded in accordance with the current Council
model adopted;
• Renewal works will be prioritised according to asset condition;
• The condition of the assets reflect what is reported within this document;
• Current maintenance funding levels will meet service level requirements;
• Renewals, maintenance and isolated failure replacement is generally ‘like for like’;
• Where a renewal must be provided to a higher standard, the difference in cost between a ‘like
for like’ renewal and the higher standard is to be treated as an asset upgrade.
• Depreciation is in accordance with Council Policy;
• There is no allowance for CPI as the continuing revaluation and condition inspection process
will make adjustments for current rates.

Section 25
7. Plan Improvement and Monitoring
7.1 Status of Asset Management Practices
Currently all Asset Management activities are managed within the Noosa Council Asset
Management Governance Framework and enabled through Technology One (T1) asset information
management system. The establishment of a pathways and boardwalks working group will enable
the improvement program to set priorities and targets that are aligned to Council.
7.2 Improvement Program
The following initiatives are recommended:
1. Asset Inventory – Ensure that there is one single asset register/hierarchy that captures all
pathway and boardwalk assets; at a level of the lowest or appropriate repairable unit. All other
duplicated asset lists/registers should be eliminated. T1 is the Enterprise Asset Management
repository. Prior to the revaluation, it is recommended a detailed asset register and data
reconciliation project establishes a single point of truth for asset data within T1. There is
approximately 49km of pathway and boardwalks that have been captured that still requires to
be commissioned onto the financial asset register.
2. Asset Responsibility – Infrastructure Services Director is responsible for the pathways and
boardwalks. However the asset managers are various across pathways and boardwalk assets
due to the different locations and the structures and materials of the pathway and boardwalk
assets. A detailed Asset responsibility matrix is required and will be developed over coming
months by the pathways and boardwalks working group and is expected to be completed by
February 2021.
3. Condition Assessments – Condition assessments have commenced and whilst there is good
knowledge of the defects of these assets there is no condition ratings on these assets. A
consistent inspection regime combined with consistent condition scoring will enable the
development of renewal plans and programs.
4. Renewal Plans - The establishment of renewal plans for all assets considered in this AMP is
considered essential to achieving good asset management outcomes. Renewal plans are
based on understanding the condition of Council’s assets and modelling to ensure that the
intervention for renewal achieves the assets useful life. The establishment and review of these
renewal plans will be a focus for the Pathways and Boardwalks Working Group to develop and
implement into Council’s processes and procedures.
5. Capital Planning – The development of upgrade programs will support maintaining the levels
of service and expectations of the community. Further renewal and upgrade programs across
all pathways and boardwalks is required. The commencement of condition assessments will
enable the development of capital programs across all pathways and boardwalks. These
programs combined with the Cycling and Walking Strategy will improve prioritisation and
strategy around the delivery of capital works.
6. Asset Systems – There is the initial implementation of operational work orders for planned,
reactive work and inspections to date. There are a number of functions of the T1 system that
would improve the operational and maintenance activities and further improve the asset
management objectives of the organisation. These include:
Planned maintenance work orders;
Costings via work orders;
Inspections and defects logged within T1;
Asset performance reporting from T1;
Crew management;
Data capture – asset validation and updating.
Asset Management Plan: Pathways and Boardwalks Page 24
Section 26
7. Levels of Service - The current levels of service for pathways and boardwalks is to support
the services that are operated from or within these assets to the Noosa community. Council’s
pathways and boardwalks assets are designed and constructed to suit the function of the
service being provided which determines the levels of service. The measurement of these
levels is ongoing, to monitor if the assets are either under or over serviced. The levels of service
that have been developed in Section 2.9 of this document serve the purpose of how the
pathways and boardwalk assets will be managed into the future. In addition, as result of
adopting the service levels defined in Section 2.9, the annual service levels catalogues that
are prepared for budget must be updated to reflect these activities and levels of service.
8. Maintenance Plans – must be regularly reviewed and incorporated into the annual budget
process and aligned to the levels of service activities defined in Section 2.9. Continued
inspections and recording of asset condition and maintenance activities are key to achieving
this initiative. This will be a key outcome for the Pathways and Boardwalks Working Group to
develop site specific maintenance plans and develop the pathways and boardwalks
maintenance plan for all the assets considered in this AMP.
7.3 Monitoring and Review Processes for the Asset Management Plan
This first edition of AMP for the pathways and boardwalks refers to current levels of services that
have existed over recent years. This AMP is to be a ‘living’ document reflecting actual practices used
in managing the pathways and boardwalks. In accordance with this, Council will balance cost, risk
and performance needs for the pathways and boardwalks.
The AMP will have a high-level annual review for developing the annual budget from the
maintenance and renewal plans. A full document review will occur on a four-year cycle, in line with
the completion of detailed condition assessments and the financial asset revaluation of the pathways
and boardwalks assets.
7.4 Asset Management Effectiveness
The effectiveness of this AMP will be measured in terms of:
1. Adoption of the pathways and boardwalks AMP by Council.
2. The ongoing development of good asset knowledge through a commitment to recording
information against assets and undertaking cyclic condition assessments at the facility.
3. Maintenance and renewal plans that are robust and initiate the annual budget process.
4. Historical asset activities that are recorded and located in Council’s asset management
system.
5. Limited reactive work and more planned maintenance activities.
6. The pathways and boardwalks AMP becomes the reference point for all information and
enables good decision making for asset related activities and investments.
7. Documented levels of service that complement the pathways and boardwalks assets that
support the services provided by Council.

Stakeholders
The internal and external stakeholders for the pathways and boardwalks 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 pathways and boardwalks 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.
Pathways and Boardwalks Provides technical advice to improve decision making across all internal
Working Group stakeholders. The group must ensure the asset management planning
covers the whole of life and optimally balances cost, risk and performance
of the pathways and boardwalks where possible.
Asset Manager (Various) Infrastructure Services Director responsible for the pathways and
boardwalk assets. However the asset managers are various across the
organisation based on the services provided to the community. A detailed
Asset responsibility matrix is required and will be developed over coming
months by the pathways and boardwalks working group and has been
defined within this AMP improvement plan.
Operational Works Responsible for the day-to-day maintenance activities and delivering
minor capital works programs.
Asset Planning Manager Responsible for the facilitation of condition assessments in developing
renewal programs.
Finance Ensures that the appropriate level of financial information is made
available to Infrastructure Services branch management.
External
Community & Residents Residents are the core users of pathways and boardwalks. Their needs,
wants and expectations are conveyed to Council, which should be
reflected in the levels of service for maintaining a good building and facility
assets.
Councils Insurer Ensures that all insurance and risk are adequately addressed.
Visitors Visitor’s wants, needs and expectations drive the development in areas of
the highest 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.
