Council continuously receives feedback from various sources about its assets.

This feedback comes through internal and external analysis of our Asset Management Plans and Council strategies, as well as community feedback in the form of enquiries, requests and satisfaction surveys.

This community feedback is factored into our Asset Management Plans to ensure we’re focusing on the things that matter most, and to gauge if our levels of service meet the community’s expectations.

The results from this engagement will be collated and used to inform the final AMPs. All personal details provided will be removed from council reports.

We need to ensure we look after our assets in the most cost-effective way possible at the desired service levels for current and future generations. This is what we call asset management.

Asset management planning allows us to understand how much an asset will cost throughout its life. This includes the creation of an asset, its upkeep, replacement, and how to eventually dispose of the asset responsibly.

We do all of this by collecting quality information about our assets, such as their age, location, use, material, condition and value.

To understand the different assets and what they are for, we have grouped them into five asset categories – buildings, open space, plant and equipment, stormwater and transport.

Buildings assets provide facilities for a range of community services. These assets include our sport and recreational facilities, the Glenelg Town Hall, Brighton Civic Centre, community centres, libraries and public toilets.

Open space assets are where our community meets. These assets include playgrounds, sporting grounds, coastal assets, artwork, lighting, irrigation systems, benches, drinking fountains and a variety of structures.

Plant and Equipment assets support our services to the community including civil, rapid response, and open space programs.

Stormwater assets help manage the quality and quantity of water runoff from rainfall, while protecting the community from flooding. These include our underground drainage networks, gross pollutant traps (GPTs) and water sensitive urban design such as rain gardens and tree inlets.

Transport assets connect people and places by providing an effective, efficient and safe movement network. These extend beyond our roads and include footpaths and cycling paths, kerb and water table, traffic control devices and bridges.

An asset management plan outlines the financial and technical elements for managing infrastructure assets to support the delivery of services to the community.

The AMP demonstrates the responsible management of assets (and services provided from assets), compliance with regulatory requirements, and communication of the investment required to sustainably deliver services for the community into the foreseeable future.

A planned approach to asset maintenance and delivery is required to ensure Council allocates and invests its resources effectively and efficiently to meet its strategic objectives.

Asset Management Plans form part of Council’s suite of strategic plans identified in the Local Government Act. The plans must be reviewed within two years of a local government election.

The Asset Management Strategy aligns the delivery of asset management activities with the organisation’s goals and objectives. The strategy outlines process and decision making across all asset categories.

The results from this engagement will be collated and used to inform the final AMPs. Changes may be made to the document based on the feedback provided.

Results from this engagement will be collated in a report and presented to Council with the final version of the AMPs.
