COMMENT:

Council manages and maintains over $5 billion worth of infrastructure and assets on behalf of the community. Council staff take a systematic approach to the management of these assets which includes routine inspection of the condition of assets, together with planned and reactive maintenance as issues are identified.

The need for new or improved assets are generally driven by population growth, aging assets, or new community desires identified during consultation with residents. Council also has a suite of strategic plans and masterplans for various assets that identify future improvements. Issues may also be identified by residents and raised via Council’s Customer Request Management system.

Council has adopted a star rating framework to assist in prioritising maintenance activities and response times to identified maintenance issues. Applying this framework, 5-star rated assets are very important to the community and have a high profile, high usage, or have a high risk rating if they fail.

The expectation of the community is that a 5-star asset is always presented in top condition and is able to support a high level of service. A 5-star asset requires a high frequency of inspections and a proactive level of maintenance to ensure the asset remains at a 5-star rating. At the other end of the spectrum, 1-star assets, which are not very critical or important to the community, would receive less frequent inspections and only reactive minimal maintenance. The majority of Council’s assets are considered to be 3-star rated.

OPTIONS:

Option 1:

That Council notes the infrastructure projects that have been completed in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 over the last six months and future works planned for the rest of this financial year.
