   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.

                              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.
