Consultation has concluded
Project Information
Between November 2021 and June 2022, the City of Adelaide worked with our community to better understand and measure levels of satisfaction for the services provided by our infrastructure assets.
The insights from the community have been utilised to identify where current levels of service are not meeting the community’s expectation, to then enable recommendations to be made to Council regarding how our assets are managed into the future through the development of Asset Management Plans.
We have used the insights from the community to develop our draft Asset Management Plans and ask the question, did we get it right?
What happens next?
Your input is important to us. City of Adelaide staff will collate all feedback into a report that will be presented to Council for consideration as part of finalising the Asset Management Plans.
The City of Adelaide is responsible for an extensive and diverse asset portfolio, which includes footpaths, playgrounds, public lighting fences and benches. Valued at more than $2 billion, which represents a significant investment made over multiple generations.
These assets play a vital role in providing essential services to our community and it is critical to ensure these assets continue to be effectively managed to enable ongoing service provision and benefits for both current and future generations.
Under South Australia’s Local Government Act 1999, we are required to develop Asset Management Plans for a period of at least ten years. The City of Adelaide has six Asset Management Plans, which include:
In order to effectively manage our assets, it is important to understand the relationship between all stages of the asset lifecycle. Effective asset management and sustainable financial planning requires a balance between the maintenance, renewal and disposal of existing assets and the delivery of new and upgraded assets. Our goal is to provide assets that service the needs of the community, providing the agreed levels of service at the lowest lifecycle cost. To enable this, it is important to understand:
The fundamental purpose of each Asset Management Plan is to outline the Council’s high-level asset management priorities for the operation, maintenance and renewal of our existing assets over the next 10 years. Our Strategic Plan sets a vision for Adelaide’s future and identifies key focus areas that guide how new and upgraded infrastructure priorities are considered annually through the Business Plan and Budget.
