Draft Parks and Playgrounds Asset Management Plan

2.9    Future Levels of Service
Ongoing development of the levels of service for maintenance and inspections has been undertaken
with the development focused on a hierarchy criteria approach. Each asset is assigned a hierarchy
level based on the specific criteria and the ongoing level of service is determined based on this
hierarchy level. The future levels of service will be incorporated within the 2024/25 Parks and
Playgrounds service catalogue, that is reviewed as part of the annual budget process.




2.10 Hierarchy
The parks and playground network has been classified in accordance with the service it provides.
This classification covers the entire open space area. The hierarchy applies to all new and existing
parks and playgrounds wholly or partly controlled by council.
