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

Road infrastructure assets are critical infrastructure to Noosa’s transportation network with the
primary function of maintaining connectivity of council’s sealed and unsealed road network. This
asset management plan (AMP) consolidates Councils available data and analysis on the road
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.




2.4    Road infrastructure Asset Management Objectives
The AM objectives detailed in the AMP include:
•    A consolidated asset register that identifies:
     o     Asset description;
     o     Asset condition;
     o     Useful life and renewal dates; and
     o     Replacement costs.
•    The levels of service provided by road infrastructure to the Noosa Community;
•    Current and future maintenance expenditure;
•    Identifying any future demand forecasts for the road infrastructure;
•    Identifying any legislative considerations necessary in the management of the road
     infrastructure;
•    Documenting the financial forecasts for the road infrastructure;
•    Identifying all risks and opportunities related to management of the road infrastructure; and
•    Documentation of any future actions identified to improve the asset management objectives of
     the road infrastructure.



2.5    Levels of Service
The levels of service that are currently being maintained for Council’s road infrastructure are aligned
to the Corporate Plan and Branch Plan objectives. The continuous development and implementation
of the asset management objectives that include good asset governance and asset knowledge are
also aligned to the Corporate Plan objectives. The service delivery is provided internally with external
specialists and technical consultants engaged as required.

Any changes in the levels of service to the road infrastructure will be required to demonstrate the
benefit and be approved by Council. Changes in levels of service should be addressed through the
asset management governance framework prior to the approval by Council.
