2019-02-12 Attachment 1 to Item 3 - Stormwater Infrastructure Asset Management Plan

7. Plan Improvement and Monitoring
       Status of Asset Management Practices
Currently all Asset Management activities are managed within the Noosa Council Asset
Management Governance Framework and enabled through Technology One (T1) asset information
management system. The establishment of the stormwater infrastructure working group has acted
as an enabler for the improvement program and determines the priorities and targets that are aligned
to Council.
       Improvement Program
The following initiatives are recommended:

1.   Asset Inventory – Ensure that there is one single asset register/hierarchy that captures all
     parent and child assets; at a level of the lowest or appropriate repairable unit. All other
     duplicated asset lists/registers should be eliminated. T1 is the Enterprise Asset Management
     Repository. Prior to the revaluation, it is recommended a detailed asset register and data
     reconciliation project establishes a single point of truth for asset data within T1.

2.   Condition Assessments – In consideration of more detailed and regular condition
     assessments, priority should be given to the high value and critical assets such as bio retention
     basins, structures, gross pollutant traps and open drains to ensure development of renewal
     programs for individual asset classes.

3.   Capital Planning – The development of upgrade programs will support maintaining the levels
     of service and expectations of the community. Key demand drivers will improve prioritisation
     and strategy around potential upgrades to the stormwater infrastructure.

4.   Asset Systems – There is an initial implementation of operational work orders for planned,
     reactive work and inspections to date. There are a number of functions of the T1 system that
     would improve the operational and maintenance activities and further improve the asset
     management objectives of the organisation. These include:
     i.    Planned maintenance work orders;
     ii.   Costings via work orders;
     iii.  Inspections and defects logged within T1;
     iv.   Asset performance reporting from T1;
     v.    Data capture – asset validation and updating.

5.   Renewal Plans - The establishment of renewal plans for all assets considered in this AMP is
     considered essential to achieving good asset management outcomes. Renewal plans are
     based on understanding the condition of Council’s assets and modelling to ensure that the
     intervention for renewal achieves the assets useful life. The establishment and review of these
     renewal plans will be a focus for the Stormwater Infrastructure Working Group to develop and
     implement into Council’s processes and procedures.

6.   Maintenance Plans – Plans must be regularly reviewed and incorporated into the annual
     budget process. Continued inspections and recording of asset condition and maintenance
     activities are key to achieving this initiative. This will be a key outcome for the Stormwater
     Infrastructure Working Group to develop and review the Stormwater Infrastructure
     maintenance plan for all the assets considered in this AMP.
