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.
