Have your say on Council’s assets

Council owns and manages almost $2 billion of assets and offers over 100 services to the community. Assets include different types of facilities, infrastructure and living assets and are grouped into four main infrastructure groups - transport, open spaces, buildings and stormwater.

The number of assets has increased as our city and towns expand, our population rises and new estates are built. Existing assets need to be maintained, replaced or disposed of when they reach the end of life.

“The Asset Plan defines service levels to the community and determines how our portfolio of assets is managed. The Asset Plan works with the Financial Plan to provide a balance between what is affordable and what is aspirational,” Council’s Director Infrastructure, Gary Randhawa said.

“The community are invited to have a say in the Asset Plan review by letting us know what is important to them and what they would like Council to focus on.”

The Asset Plan covers:

Open space areas include playing courts and fields, playground sites, trees, open space structures and open space areas.
Buildings include child care, senior citizen and community centres, public toilets, pools and shade sails.
Transport includes roads (sealed and unsealed), kerb, pathways, bridges, culverts, traffic management devices, carparks, and road line-markings.
Stormwater includes stormwater drains and pits, pumps, penstocks, gross pollutant traps, litter traps and drainage basins.

You can have your say online at shepp.city/assetplan until Friday 21 March.
