EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Noosa Council has a statutory requirement to develop detailed asset management plans for its
major asset classes. The Pathways and Boardwalks Asset Management Plan (the Plan) is the
seventh asset management plan drafted in the suite of asset management plans to be developed
across Council’s infrastructure. In developing the Plan, it was essential to consider the following
key objectives:
   Describe the assets and the services provided.
   Link Council’s long-term financial plan by
     o      Defining future asset renewal and upgrades - reflecting Council’s Capital Works
            Program
     o      Identifying the current and future operational and maintenance commitments.
   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 forecast for asset renewals, maintenance and
     operations.
   Asset rationalisation and disposal is addressed.
   The risk management activities associated with the assets.

These objectives are aligned with both the Noosa Council Asset Management Roadmap and the
Queensland Audit Office asset management outcomes.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Acting Director Infrastructure Services to the General
Committee Meeting dated 18 January 2021 and approve the Pathways and Boardwalks Asset
Management Plan (provided as Attachment 1 to the report) as a document that specifies the
activities, resources and asset classes to achieve Noosa Council’s asset management objectives.


REPORT
The purpose of the Pathways and Boardwalks Asset Management Plan (the Plan) is to define the
whole of life activities associated with operating and maintaining these assets for the Noosa
community. The Plan identifies the assets and the levels of service. A key outcome of the Plan is
the identification of the current state of the asset conditions and the ongoing development of
renewal and maintenance plans. Importantly, the identification of future costs and potential risks to
the Pathways and Boardwalks assets is fundamental in achieving the asset management
objectives for Noosa Council.
