EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Noosa Council has a statutory requirement to develop detailed Asset Management Plans for its
major asset classes. The Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) was chosen as a pilot site for the initial
development of the suite of Asset Management Plans to be developed across Council’s
infrastructure. In developing the initial Asset Management Plan for the NAC it was essential to
consider the following key objectives:
    Describe the assets and the services provided;
    Link Councils long-term financial plan through:
      o      An asset renewal program reflecting Council’s Capital Works Program; and
                         o   A maintenance plan.
   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; and
   The risk management activities associated with the assets.
These objectives are aligned with both the Noosa Council’s Asset Management Roadmap and
the Queensland Audit Office asset management outcomes.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Manager to the General Committee Meeting
dated 12 March 2018 and adopt the Noosa Aquatic Centre Asset Management Plan provided at
Attachment 1 to the report noting that this is the first detailed Asset Management Plan adopted
and that the format will continue to be enhanced and developed for subsequent plans.


REPORT
The purpose of the Noosa Aquatic Centre (NAC) Asset Management Plan is to define the whole
of life activities associated with operating and maintaining an aquatic centre for the Noosa
community. The plan identifies the assets and the levels of service to meet the needs of patrons.
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
an aquatic centre is fundamental in achieving the asset management objectives for Noosa
Council.
