Drainage Asset Management Plan

A Drainage Asset Management Plan has been drafted to ensure that Council provides infrastructure that meets the community’s needs while also being financially sustainable in the long-term.

The plan outlines what it costs to deliver the current level of service, if this is being met and what the risks are of not meeting these requirements.

This plan has been developed in accordance with industry best practice and principles, informed by the Drainage Strategy, known condition information and existing operational and maintenance practices.

Some assumptions are still required where data is not complete, but these gaps have been identified throughout the Plan and inform the Improvement Actions plan at the end of the document.

The aim of the Plan is to combine risk management, financial, engineering and technical practices to ensure that the required levels of services are met by the most efficient means with consideration for Council’s financial limitation. 

The plan defines the services to be provided and to what standard, and what funds are required to provide the services over a 15-year planning period.
