A draft 10-year plan outlining how Council will strategically maintain and manage its $4 billion portfolio of community assets such as roads and sporting fields is now open for community feedback.
The draft Asset Plan 2025 - 2034 will be a blueprint for how Council will allocate resources and sustainably manage assets to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our growing community for the long-term.
The draft plan has been developed following extensive community consultation, including three community focus groups in which residents were able to provide in-depth feedback to help develop the eight guiding principles that have been incorporated into the plan. Residents are now able to review the draft plan and provide their feedback through an online survey or in person at a range of pop-up locations.
Council's assets are classified into 11 broad portfolio categories, outlining the challenges, opportunities, forecasted spend and key actions required ensure the assets are well-maintained, useful and continue to provide value to our community.
Council’s current assets include:
- 1,414km of sealed roads and 77km of unsealed roads
- 2,606km of footpaths and 319km of shared paths
- 2,085km of drainage pipes
- 181 sporting courts / fields
- 190 buildings
- 18,864 light poles
- 2,740,203m2 garden beds
“Council manages approximately $4 billion worth of assets. Everything from roads and footpaths, community buildings, bridges and drains, and we need to ensure that we efficiently monitor and maintain these assets in line with our community’s expectations.”
“These assets are yours and they support your daily life. They provide your community with places to connect, opportunities to stay active and infrastructure to help you get around safely and efficiently.”
