Draft Asset Management Plans 2025-2034

Council decisions/outcomes

During the consultation period, a combination of 131 survey responses and submissions were received.

At its meeting on Tuesday 24 September 2024, Council considered the community feedback received and the report from the Audit & Risk Committee (after its meeting on 17 September) and endorsed the revised Asset Management Plans 2025-2034 for Transport, Open Space, Buildings, Water, Information Technology and Plant & Fleet.

Changes made to the asset management plans were the inclusion of statistics which related to the quality, function, safety and investment priority ratings. The Service Level sections of each asset management plan were the primary sections that were revised.

The feedback received from community engagement will be categorised into what type of asset (e.g. road surface), then categorised for the sub-type (e.g. street sweeping or trench reinstatement) and then grouped into whether the feedback related to maintenance or asset renewal. For comments relating to asset renewal, Council will consolidate this information into our renewal planning forecasts and will treat them similarly to request for new/renewal customer requests.

Council is seeking the community's views on the current state of key community assets and how they are managed.

The City of Tea Tree Gully is responsible for the management of $2.17 billion of assets on behalf of the community. These assets provide valuable services that are part of our community's everyday life. They have been established over a long period of time and must be properly maintained and developed to ensure continued community benefit.

Asset Management Plans (AMPs) are used to guide the planning, construction, maintenance and operation of our assets and infrastructure. These AMPs are now due for another review, and hearing from the community will help to ensure we meet the future needs of the community.

These plans are key components of our Long-Term Financial Plan and include detailed information about each asset and define which services will be provided, how they will be provided and what funding is required to cost-effectively deliver them over a 10-year period.

It is important that theses assets are provided in a continuous and financially sustainable manner, taking into consideration our strategic priorities, legislative and regulatory requirements, future demand and risk, community expectations and available resources.

Each AMP focuses on a distinct class of assets and infrastructure:

• Buildings: such as the Civic Centre and library, Service Centre, Waterworld Aquatic Centre, recreational centres, community centres, sporting facilities and public toilets
• Transport: local roads, kerbs and footpaths, car parks, bridges, bus stops and shelters, traffic control devices and street lighting
• Water: (formerly Stormwater): stormwater assets including pits, culverts, gross pollutant traps, wetlands, creeks & dams, Wastewater Treatment Plant, recycled water pipes & valves, bores and pumping stations
• Open Space: playspaces, park furniture, park shelters and structures, playing fields and sports courts, irrigation, tree screens and lighting
• Information Technology (IT): online services, public wi-fi, computers and infrastructure for recreation centres, administration, Elected Members and staff

Draft Asset Management Plans have been developed, including a new AMP for Plant and Fleet. These assets include vehicles (heavy commercial, light commercial and passenger vehicles) and portable and light equipment (battery operated tools, trailers, mowers, sprayers, chainsaws, etc).

A summary document covering each plan is also available.

  • the survey asks questions about your views on different asset groups as well as any comments on the relevant draft plans if you have any. Feedback on the plans themselves can also be provided using the submission form
• Have a question? Ask us here

Feedback received will be used to ensure future service levels and funding proposed for each of our asset classes is appropriate, and will also be considered as part of annual budget setting and works programming processes.

Council will review community feedback and look to formally endorse the revised plans towards the end of 2024.
