2.                  Introduction
        Asset Management Plan Definition and Purpose
“Documented information that specifies the activities, resources and timescales required for an
individual asset, or a grouping of assets, to achieve the organisation’s asset management
objectives.”1

The purpose of the Stormwater Infrastructure asset management plan is to define the whole of life
activities associated with operating and maintaining of stormwater infrastructure for the Noosa
Community. The plan identifies the assets and the levels of service to meet the expectations of the
Noosa Community. 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
stormwater infrastructure is fundamental in achieving the asset management objectives for Noosa
Council.


        Scope
The scope of this asset management plan is to ensure the Stormwater Infrastructure meets,
demonstrates and incorporates the following key asset management objectives:

•     A description of assets and the services provided;
•     Links to Councils long term financial plan through:
      o     An asset renewal program reflecting Council’s Capital works program.
      o     A maintenance program.
•     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.
•     The risk management activities associated with the Stormwater Infrastructure.


        Stormwater Infrastructure
There are many different asset types within the Stormwater Infrastructure asset management plan,
with various units of measurement. These assets included in this AMP are summarised below:
           o 10,623 (223km)         Pipes
           o 9,640                  Pits
           o 3,312                  Structures
           o 14                     Bio retention Basins
           o 15                     Gross Pollutant Traps (GPT)
           o 9                      Open Drains

Stormwater Infrastructure assets are critical infrastructure to the management of stormwater run off
across Council’s communities. This asset management plan (AMP) consolidates Councils available
data and analysis on the Stormwater Infrastructure assets. It also presents the output of how
systematic approaches are applied by Council to optimally balance cost, risk and performance. This
is essential to meet forecasted demand and the levels of service required.
