EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Noosa Council has a statutory requirement to develop detailed Asset Management Plans for its
major asset classes. The Noosa Main Beach Sand Recycling System (SRS) 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 SRS it
was essential to consider the following key objectives:
 Describe the assets and the services provided;
 Link Council’s 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 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 Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 10 April 2018 and adopt the Noosa Main Beach Sand Recycling
System (SRS) Asset Management Plan provided at Attachment 1 to the report.


REPORT
The purpose of the Noosa Main Beach SRS Asset Management Plan is to define the whole of life
activities associated with operating and maintaining the SRS for the Noosa community. The Plan
identifies the assets and the levels of service to meet the needs of maintain a suitable beach
sand profile at Noosa’s Main Beach. 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 the SRS is fundamental in achieving the asset
management objectives for Noosa Council.
