Our Council infrastructure, including built and recreational facilities, roads, bridges, water/sewer facilities and footpaths impact on our daily life, providing convenience, safety, recreation and transport. Safe and essential infrastructure and transport for the community is one of Council’s major priorities, and Council is committed to meeting service standards for the community.

Council is the custodian of community infrastructure assets worth more than $1 billion. Good stewardship, maintenance, renewal and replacement of these assets are Council’s major responsibility and are a core community expectation.

We want to pay for our share of usage of long life assets and provide inter-generational equity by handing forward infrastructure to future generations that is at least the equal of what was afforded to us.

The sheer enormity of our essential infrastructure creates a significant challenge in being able to fund the required maintenance and renewal expenditure required to ensure that assets are maintained at desirable levels of service. This coupled with a significant backlog of asset replacement works poses the single most significant and expensive challenge for our community at this point in time.
