2018-12-11 S&O Agenda - Attachment 1 to Item 16 - Road Infrastructure Asset Management Plan

7.                Plan Improvement and Monitoring
7.1    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 a roads infrastructure working group will enable the
improvement program to set priorities and targets that are aligned to Council.
7.2    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 carparks,
      kerb & channel, retaining walls, barriers/guardrails 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. There are two upgrade programs being
      developed for completion by the end of the 2018/19 financial year and include:
           a. 5-Year Reseal Program
           b. The Gravel Road Upgrade Program
           c. The Sealed Road Reconstruction Program
      These programs will improve prioritisation and strategy around potential upgrades to the road
      network.

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 Road 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 Road
      Infrastructure Working Group to develop and review the road infrastructure maintenance plan
      for all the assets considered in this AMP.
