GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                  12 MARCH 2018


This is the first detailed Asset Management Plan presented to Council for adoption. It is
anticipated that we will undertake continuous improvement to refine the format, layout and details
contained within the asset management plans. This plan should be seen as a starting point but
provides a strong base for ongoing evolution of our detailed asset management planning. Indeed,
asset management plans are not designed to be static but rather, are reviewed and enhanced
over time as more detail reviews are undertaken of specific assets.

1.   NAC Overview

The Noosa Aquatic Centre, located in Sunshine Beach, was constructed in 1999 as a state-of-
the-art multi-fitness facility with a focus on aquatic activities. The facility consists of three
separate pools, a 50-metre heated Olympic-sized pool; 25-metre heated pool and a Learn to
Swim (LTS) Program Pool (20 x 15 metre heated program pool.)

   The current replacement cost for the NAC is $7,118,910.
   The overall condition of the assets at the NAC are rated condition 2 (very good) to
     condition 3 (good) based on the uniform 1 to 5 asset condition ranking.
   The 19.56 Equivalent Full Time (EFT) employees are supported by a number of casual
     positions to accommodate seasonal and peak demands.

The NAC is operational 363 days of the year. It is critical that the facility is well maintained and
that unplanned outages or closures are avoided wherever possible. To operate at this level, the
pool plant and equipment must be well maintained, and issues rectified promptly.

2.   NAC Assets

In establishing good maintenance and renewal practices, two separate Condition Assessments
(CA) were undertaken. The initial CA covered pool plant and equipment providing a breakdown
of assets and comprehensive condition information. The estimated economic life, asset condition,
repair priorities, expected year of replacement and costs for plant and equipment assets was also
reviewed. The additional CA covered building assets including 50m, 25m, and the program pool.
The overall condition score of the assessed assets was positioned between a condition 2 (Very
Good) and a condition 3 (Good).

3.   NAC Asset Management Improvement Initiatives

The development of the NAC Asset Management Plan identified a number of initiatives for
continual improvement in achieving good asset management outcomes. Key areas for
improvement included:
    Asset Inventory;
    Condition Assessments;
    Master Planning;
    Asset Systems;
    Customer Surveys; and
    Renewal and Maintenance Plan development.

These initiatives are detailed in the Asset Management Plan.
