4.2 Asset Transfer Action Plan (TAP)
The long-term management of Noosa Council’s assets is essential to the sustainability of the
organisation and to building a prosperous community. Local government assets such as roads
and bridges make a substantial contribution to Queensland’s infrastructure base and cultural and
community facilities such as libraries, galleries and recreational facilities substantially add to the
community’s quality of life.

Noosa Council will have an asset register that records its non-current physical assets.

To assist the transfer committee to accurately decide the split of assets and liabilities, the Asset
TAP Team’s key task was to review and identify critical assets and liabilities and facilitate their
transfer to the new Noosa Council. This involved:

    Consolidating data from various monitoring programs and databases used by the Sunshine
     Coast Council.
    Ensuring a consistent methodology for assessing the condition, maintenance and recording
     of accurate data was implemented as per local government standards.
    Identifying and listing relevant land, buildings and facilities and ensure they transferred in
     accordance with government regulations.
    Compile an inventory of relevant leases, licences, agreements and deeds and transfer
     ownership to the new Noosa Council.
    Review fleet and plant listings and identify and determine fleet/plant to be transferred to the
     new Noosa Council.
    Identify and review registers of operational reserves, land available for future uses or
     development (strategic land reserves) and recent property disposal records and recommend
     an appropriate strategy for land management and development.
    Ensuring Noosa Councils asset register is accurate and compliant.
    Tracking and monitoring infrastructure projects that are currently underway in the Noosa
     region - for transfer.
    Drafting a 6 month Capital Works Program for consideration by the new Noosa Council.
