Draft Strategic Asset Management Policy

Now on Public Exhibition

We are inviting feedback on our draft Strategic Asset Management Policy.

An asset is a resource that has an economic (or capital) value, with the expectation that it will provide a benefit now and into the future for the community. Typically, assets include roads, buildings and playgrounds.

The Policy objectives include:

  • Ensuring that services and infrastructure are provided in a sustainable manner, with the appropriate levels of service to residents, businesses, visitors, and the environment
  • Developing and updating the Asset Management Strategy as the primary framework to maintain asset services for current and future generations
  • Managing and safeguarding assets with appropriate asset management plans and financing
  • Creating and sustaining a proactive asset management culture - an environment where all employees take an integral part in overall management of assets
  • Meeting legislative requirements for asset management and processes that align with demonstrated best practice
  • Ensuring resources and operational capabilities are identified and responsibility for asset management is allocated
  • Assets are being recorded in accordance with asset accounting standards and financial reporting requirements.

The current policy was adopted by Council in 2019, and the revised draft has been updated:

  • Section 1: Purpose amended to better reflect the intended Policy outcomes
  • Section 3: Roles and Responsibilities amended to give greater clarity
  • Sections 4 and 6: Inclusion of Risk Assessment and Guidelines sections to ensure a systematic and strategic approach
  • Formatting updated.
