Asset Management Plans

Asset management is a really important part of what we do at Byron Shire Council.

Not everyone understands what asset management is or how it is done, so we have developed this short video to explain things!

The purpose of an asset management plan is to help us manage our infrastructure and other assets to an agreed standard of service.

Byron Shire Council currently has five Asset Management Plans covering the following categories:

  • Strategic Asset Management Plan, which includes general fund assets only such as transport, drainage, buildings, open spaces, recreation facilities, other structures, plant and equipment and furniture and fittings.
  • Transport assets.
  • Building assets.
  • Open Space assets.
  • Utilities.

The Asset Management Policy sits above these plans.

Our Strategic Asset Management Plan 2016 to 2026 includes:

  • Transport
  • Drainage
  • Buildings
  • Open Spaces
  • Recreation Facilities
  • Plant
  • Equipment
  • Furniture 
  • Fittings. 

This plan is part of our Integrated Planning and Reporting requirements.

Increased funding including election commitment grants, have helped us to improve the overall health of the asset portfolio. 

We also use predictor modelling software and have improved how we collect asset condition data. 

We can provide a digital Strategic Asset Management Plan

The digital Strategic Asset Management Plan provides graphs and charts about:

  • Asset condition
  • Current replacement costs
  • Depreciation
  • Funding gaps
  • Financial sustainability reporting ratios. 

All the data provided is based off the published individual asset management plans and 30 June 2021 Financial Statements. 

This Open Spaces Asset Management Plan includes:

  • Pools
  • Recreation facilities, sports equipment & grandstands
  • Park facilities – shelters, furniture, fences, lighting
  • Play equipment and softfall
  • Irrigation
  • Public art
  • Beach accesses
  • Garden beds
  • CCTV cameras.

The plan details information about infrastructure assets including actions required to provide an agreed level of service in the most cost effective manner while outlining associated risks. 

The Park Locator map uses data from our Open Spaces Asset Management Plan to help residents and visitors locate a park, recreation facility, public toilet, and dog off leash areas. You can also find information about recreation activities within the Byron Shire.
