2.7    Current Levels of Service
The current levels of service for road infrastructure is to ensure connectivity of council’s sealed and
unsealed road network. Council’s road infrastructure assets are designed and constructed to suit the
hierarchy of the road network and determines the levels of service. The overall management of
Council’s road infrastructure are in accordance with the Austroads Guidelines and the various
Australian Standards that support the specific asset types of the road infrastructure.

Regular inspections are critical to the management of road infrastructure and the inspections
undertaken by Council, and by third party providers will meet the standards and statutory
requirements to ensure all assets remain safe to all users of Council’s roads. The scheduled
maintenance activities will be within the defined timeframes to ensure that all potential or identified
defects are rectified.

Levels of service must be readily measurable and preferably from available data sources. Each level
of service should be stated in terms of appropriateness and understood by the community for whom
the service is provided. The levels of service in this AMP are intended to:

•   Measure of the effectiveness of this AMP;
•   Inform the Noosa community of the proposed type and level of service to be offered by Council;
•   Assist with identification of the expenditure and benefits of the Noosa Council services being
    offered;
•   Inform the Noosa community to assess the affordability and suitability of the Noosa Council
    services being offered;
•   Provide focus for the development of future road infrastructure asset management strategies;
•   Provide guidance for current and future services to be offered; and
•   Define the specific levels of service provided by Noosa Council.

The levels of service outlined in this road infrastructure AMP are also aligned to:
• Statutory, legislative and relevant code requirements.
• Information obtained from asset condition assessments and maintenance analysis; and
• Noosa Council’s Corporate Plan.
The levels of service have been catalogued and are located at Annex A.
