Individual Asset Management Plan A detail asset group specific asset management plan is the tactical plan that ensures operations achieve strategic goals. The goal in managing infrastructure assets is to meet the agreed level of service (as amended from time to time) in the most cost effective manner for present and future stakeholders. The Asset Management Plan 2019-20 to 2028-29 Addendum provides an overview of asset group specific information. The Shire aims to produce detail asset management plans for individual asset groups or classes, such as roads, footpaths, etc. in future. Figure 1 shows the range of asset groups and classes covered in this plan.

Figure 1 Individual asset categories Appendix A provides a list of topics to be addressed in future individual asset management plans.

Whole of Life Strategies Operations and Maintenance Strategies

Operations include utilities, cleaning and security. Maintenance activities including painting, servicing of air conditioners, fire extinguishers, pest control and repair work. Many of these are legislative requirements and systems are being put in place to ensure these requirements are met. Building maintenance schedules have been drafted for each of the Shire buildings.

Funding Operations and maintenance are predominantly funded by general revenue. Waste Services and Caravan Parks generate income to offset expenditure, while the Emergency Services Levy supports Emergency Services activities.

Renewal/ Replacement Strategies

Annual renewal planning targets:

Annual depreciation

$1,112,600 $1,565,060 71% $1,416,636

Funding Only 71% of forecast renewal work is funded in the LTFP 2018-2028 (Target 95-105%) Renewal is predominantly funded by general revenue.

New and Upgrade Strategies

The Community Infrastructure Plan identifies new and upgraded infrastructure to ensure there is sufficient community infrastructure for a growing community. Upgrade and new projects identified in the Community Infrastructure Plan include:

• Western Pavilion (Cricket/Soccer) $400,000 • Tennis/Rugby Building upgrade $100,000 • Scout Hall $200,000 • A Outside School Hours Care facility in Margaret River $800,000

Some of these upgrade projects have been identified through the Developer Contributions Policy’s developer contributions plan and cost schedules which helps fund community infrastructure required as a result of growth from residential and other developments. New and upgrade projects are also driven from strategic objective, such as improving accessibility to public buildings and the use of sustainable energy resources. A Public Toilet Improvement Program has been developed to address short comings identified in community satisfaction surveys. New buildings identified in the Community Strategic Plan 2036 for future LTFP inclusion include:

• Develop a Changing Places Station in Margaret River • Complete construction of the Turner Caravan Park Chalets

When new community buildings on Shire managed land are planned various management strategies need to be considered. These strategies would consider structure ownership and whole of life implications including rent, utilities, insurance, maintenance, future improvements and major repair work. These arrangements will then be formalised within a lease agreement with community groups or commercial enterprises. Most upgrade projects also include a component of renewal. An example of this is the work done to the Cowaramup Hall over the last few years.

5

Funding

Community Facility Reserve can also be used to fund some projects that qualify. Community Sports and Recreation Facilities Funding and other grants may be available for recreational buildings. Lotterywest funding has also been identified as a potential funding source. Limited grant funding is available for renewing buildings and most improvements will include a component of renewal such as the culture centre upgrade.

Disposal Strategies

An unused public toilet building was recently demolished at the Margaret River Sales Yard. No further buildings have been identified for disposal. However, a full review of building utilisation is warranted.

: Other Strategies

Access and Inclusion Plan 2018-22

The Shire’s access and inclusion program includes the following • Incorporate upgrades identified through access audits and prioritised in the Shire’s access

and inclusion plan. • Erect directional signage on low wall at Admin Building to distinguish between main entrance

and after-hours side entrance. • Review and improve wayfinding signage to and within the Civic Administration Centre in line

with Dementia friendly principles. • Investigate feasibility of installing audio hearing loops in Margaret River Council Chambers. • Determine feasibility and concept plan for a hydrotherapy pool in Margaret River Recreation

Centre. • Prioritise access improvements to Shire sporting club facilities and incorporate when

upgrading facilities. • Develop accessible toilets in Cowaramup. • Develop accessible toilets in Augusta. • Develop a concept plan for a changing places Adult Change Facility in Margaret River.

Long Term Financial Plan – Forward Capital Works program

The LTFP 2018-19 to 2027-28 FCWP includes for the following renewal subprograms (annual average per year) for buildings:

• Annual renewal for community buildings of $640,000 p.a. over the next 10 years. • Annual renewal for caravan park buildings of $184,000 p.a. over the next 10 years. • Asbestos replacement program $100,000 p.a. over the next 10 years. In most cases asbestos removal

replaces old sections of buildings and can be considered a form of renewal. It may include a component of upgrade in some cases as well. It is mostly seen as a risk mitigation strategy.

• Other individual projects include Margaret River Recreation Centre – Aquatic centre which has significant work required to its roof and walls. The estimated cost is $1.5 M, although recent cost estimates indicate it is significantly more.

• Depot Sheds for storing of chemicals requires replacement, $200,000. The current review of the FCWP will also consider the following allocations:

• Caravan park building upgrade funded from caravan parks upgrade reserve • Community Infrastructure Plan projects such as:

o Margaret River Recreation Centre upgrade. o Margaret River Childcare Centre for out of school hours centre. o Rapids Landing School Oval public toilets and changerooms. o Western Pavilion Upgrade. o Augusta Library/Museum development.

• 100kW Solar PV system at the Shire Offices. • Some additional work at the HAERT. • Some items from the Public Amenities program can be included in annual renewal allocation.

Considerations

Future Demand

Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revision of the FCWP in line with the Community Infrastructure Plan, Developer Contribution Policy’s Developer Contribution Plan and cost schedules is required to align all these strategies.

Challenges • Detailed assessment of the service is required to ensure services are sustainable as current practices are insufficient.

• Improve reporting systems to allow use of inventory and condition information. • Improve reporting systems for operations, maintenance and renewal strategies. • Maintenance management systems for routine and reactive maintenance are in the process

of being developed. • Productivity tools to be explored to assist staff with increased workload. • Compliance requirements are increasing and impact on budgets and workloads must be

assessed. • Managing after hours and emergency works requests. • Increased demand for works request in tourist season due to influx of population. • Streamlining of procurement procedures.

Data source and data rating assessment

The Shire has been using several data sources but is now consolidating all building related information into a centralised system. Network level data confidence rating is an overall A with inventory rated at A due to last valuations done by external valuers and annual inventory capitalisation. Condition data is rated at A. The next revaluation is due by 30 June 2021.

A major challenge is to use available information, implement appropriate systems and refine maintenance, renewal and upgrade programs to feed into the LTFP review.

Most new facilities in parks are provided by property developers through the land development process. The Public Open Space Strategy 2014 provides guidelines on the facilities to be provided within these new parks. The Community Infrastructure Plan identifies new and upgraded infrastructure to ensure there is sufficient community infrastructure for a growing community. Upgrade and new projects identified in the Community Infrastructure Plan include:

• Gloucester Park Development • Rapids Landing School Oval • Augusta Youth precinct Upgrade (skate & BMX) • Scoreboard - Cowaramup Sports Precinct

Some of these upgrade projects have been identified through the Developer Contributions Policy’s developer contributions plan and cost schedules which helps fund community infrastructure required as a result of growth from residential and other developments. Further master plan and strategic projects are also identified for implementation subject to funding in the LTFP:

• Margaret River Precinct Plan • Rivermouth-Gas Bay plan • Augusta Interpretation Plan • Tourism directional signage program • Prevelly Gnarabup Coastal Works

New and upgrade projects are also driven from strategic objective, such as improving accessibility to public buildings and the use of sustainable energy resources. Most upgrade projects also include a component of renewal. Upgrade of any park or playground is usually facilitated through concept plans and also used to consult with the community.

Funding

Disposal Strategies

No further park and reserve infrastructure have been identified for disposal within the next 10 years other than those identified in the Public Open Space strategy. However, a full review of the Public Open Space Strategy should be done in the near future.

: Other Strategies

Public Open Space Strategy 2014

The Public Open Space Strategy sets the objectives and guidelines for facilities within park and reserve provision. The Strategy also recommended the Shire adopt minimum standards in relation to the provision of public open space and recreation facilities for various park hierarchies.

Access and Inclusion Plan 2018-22

Considerations

Future Demand Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revisions of the FCWP in line with the Community Infrastructure Plan, Developer Contribution Policy’s developer contribution plan and cost schedule, Public Open Space Strategy, the Access and Inclusion Plan, and various precinct concept plans is required to align all these strategies.

Challenges • Improve inventory and condition information. • Documenting the level of service in order to manage the service sustainably. • Structural integrity of park structures has to be assessed by specialists to ensure the Shire

monitors these structures for public safety. A routine inspection program should be established to address this.

• A framework for park and reserve planning through the Public Open Space Strategy will allow for coordination of various plans origination from various objectives and from various business units within the Shire.


The Shire has been using several data sources but is now consolidating them into a centralised system. Data confidence (inventory, valuation and condition information) for play equipment and overall park Infrastructure is rated B. Systems and tools are currently being investigated to ensure field data can be collected and stored. Next revaluation is due by 30 June 2022. A major challenge is to use available information, implement appropriate systems and refine maintenance, renewal and upgrade programs to feed into the LTFP review.

Operations include inspections, utilities and chemicals. Maintenance activities include servicing of pumps and repairs.

Funding

The Shire does not pay for the water it obtains from Water Corporation and can therefore not charge its users for the water. There is however other cost such as cost to operate and maintain the system the shire can on-charge to the users proportionate to their allocations. The Shire is currently investigating such a fee.


16

Renewal includes replacing parts of the system. Various parts of the system are used by various users and the Shire has to maintain the system for the users to be able to receive the water. The cost to replace the system can also be part of the cost shared with users to ensure the life of the system. Annual renewal planning targets:

$2,945,000 $4,918,456 60% $3,762,489 In 2014-2015 the shire had visual inspection done of the entire road network and programs were developed for the sealed network by using optimisation programs. The visual inspections were repeated in 2018 and programs were developed for sealed and unsealed network by using optimisation programs. These programs were only at network level and still needed to be refined. The visual inspection results are used to short list potential roads for the spray seal reseal and asphalt overlay programs. It is less effective in determining a resheeting program, but grader drivers have been successful in shortlisting roads with compromised depth of base and in need of resheeting. 19/20 was the first year that money was specifically allocated to a low order road program. This was to address roads that have deteriorated significantly but had low traffic volumes and did not justify being reconstructed. Low cost rehabilitation has been applied. High order roads that also qualify for Regional Road Group funding are addressed through the reconstruction program. The following is a five year program currently under review:

Upgrading of some roads is necessary to address minimum road standards and improve safety. The sealing of unsealed roads is also considered to be an upgrade of infrastructure. All road upgrades are funded either through regional road group funding or predominantly for high order roads or to a limited extent by Roads to Recovery funding that part fund the reseal and asphalt overlay programs. The Shire has no minimum standard for road width or for when to seal unsealed roads. Limited opportunities exist to upgrade local roads. Most new roads are provided by property developers through the land development process.

28

The Shire will be adding 6km of road to its inventory as part of the transfer of Bussell Highway as a local road to the Shire. The following projects will be considered in the LTFP: • Bussell Highway – Margaret River main street • Caves Rd/Wallcliffe Rd Roundabout in partnership with MRWA. No timeframe has been set for the

implementation of this project. • Heppingstone Road extension • Ashton Street upgrade which is part of the developer contributions plan and cost schedules as is the

widening of Kevil Road

Funding Upgrade work is funded through general revenue as well as federal and state government road grants. New roads are mostly obtained through subdivision by developers and donated to the Shire.

Disposal Strategies

No disposals are currently under consideration within the next 10 years. Permanent road closures are conducted when required and are addressed on individual merits according to Council Policy. No disposals have been provided for in this AMP or in the LTFP’s FCWP.

: Other Strategies

Roads 2030 Strategy

The strategy is up for review shortly and identified the roads that qualify for regional road grants. The Shire will have an opportunity to review and make submissions.

Road Policy Work has commenced on framework for applying and prioritising road work according to a road hierarchy as a strategy to priorities limited resources and mitigate risks.


The LTFP 2018-19 to 2027-28 FCWP includes for the following renewal subprograms (annual average per year) for roads: • Road reconstruction $1,500,000

Considerations

Future Demand

Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revisions of the AMP in line with the Developer Contribution Plan, Transport Strategy and LTFP needs to be done to align all these strategies.

30

Future demand for road assets will come primarily from population growth and to promote economic growth of the region. Road infrastructure is provided in new subdivisions (residential, industrial or commercial) as a condition of the development process. Future demand may also come from community expectations for improved services, such as sealing unsealed roads or increasing road maintenance. Roads provide a vital service within the community and the local economy and therefore it is important to provide and properly maintain the necessary infrastructure. As the Shire’s road network grows, additional resources need to be allocated to maintain and renewal the additional road length. Increased development and traffic volumes has also prompted improvement to intersections, as well as considering capacity and safety improvements.

Challenges • Improving data confidence rating by improving inventory information and conducting regular condition assessments.

• Maintaining road data and road condition data • Improve works programming and having least a 4 year detail program


Data confidence rating is an overall B. The network is visually assessed through an external assessment every 4 years. Due to the complexity of roads this is one of the more difficult data sets to manage. Improvements to the systems and processes are required to ensure data is managed sustainably. The dissemination or sharing of this data to various internal and external road data users are very important and will be the focus of coming years. The next revaluation is due by 30 June 2022.

Considerations

Future Demand

Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revisions of the FCWP in line with the Developer Contribution Policy’s developer contributions plan and cost schedules, Transport Strategy is required to align all these strategies. Major expansions are associated with residential developments and the majority of new drainage is donated to the shire through new subdivision developments. Increased density of existing residential areas will require redesign of drainage networks to facilitate increase density as well as acquiring easements in areas possibly competing with other utilities. These projects require significant planning and rely on external consultants. Although drainage infrastructure does not prevent all flooding, the change in weather patterns may require the monitoring of flood incidents to identify if drainage upgrade is required.

Challenges • Improve inventory information. • Improve renewal strategies. • Designing infill drainage systems within developed residential areas.


The confidence rating of the drainage inventory and condition information is rated overall B. The Shire is in the process of applying A-SPEC specifications in order to standardise its drainage inventory within its GIS. This will assist with updating information from donated and newly constructed infrastructure assets.

Work required by the MRWA program is also funded by MRWA. 100% renewal work is funded in the LTFP 2018-2028 (Target 95-105%). Funding is obtained from federal and state government support.


No upgrading of bridges is considered within the next 10 years. The Shire will be adding the Margaret River Bridge on Bussell Highway to its inventory this year as part of the transfer of Bussell Highway as a local road to the Shire. Future upgrade work may be identified to Margaret River Bridge. The only remaining single lane bridges are the Tom Culity Road Bridge and the Warner Glen Road Bridge. These bridges may need to be widened in future.

Regular proactive maintenance, cleaning and servicing activities are vital for caravan parks to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction. All indications are that current strategies are sufficient. Tree risk assessments have identified the need to remove those ageing trees that pose a risk to public safety, which has created the need for more succession planting to be undertaken within the Parks. Recent Bushfire risk assessment works have identified the need for the provision of new infrastructure to better support the management of fire risks to the Park including undertaking further fire mitigation works in the Park and adjacent reserves.

It is evident that this data is no longer sufficient for proper planning. Prior to next infrastructure revaluation a new inventory should be determined to allow for more detail valuation and renewal planning

For this service it is important to compete with the private sector. It is important that assets are kept to a high standard and it is possible that result in this AMP is not providing for the correct level of service and life cycle cost is underestimated as well.

Concept master plans have recently been completed for Turner Holiday Park and Alexandra Bridge Camping Ground, with Flinders Bay Holiday Park being proposed to be completed in 2020. Master Plans have included investigation works being undertaken to determine the condition and renewal requirements of both built and environmental assets.

Significant service renewal works have already been commenced at Turner Holiday Park with respect to the ageing underground infrastructure including power, water, fire hose lines and also providing new sullage infrastructure, with further ablution block renovations also being scheduled to be completed this year.

Overall the Parks and Camping Ground have significant ageing infrastructure that requires renewal works to be undertaken to the majority of its assets, which does provide opportunities to be able to renew entire sections of the Parks creating costs efficiencies through common trenching etc. whilst also ensuring that the Park is brought up to modern-day standards expected from its customers now and into the future.

No detail works program exist for renewal in this AMP and LTFP allocation are just estimates. As there is a significant difference between the LTFP allocations and forecast requirements forward works program may need to be prioritised to assist with future reviews of LTFP.

Funding

400% of forecast renewal work is funded in the LTFP 2018-2028 (Target 95-105%) This indicates that the Asset Management inventory (financial inventory) is either understating the renewal requirement or the renewal projects will include a component of upgrade.


Master planning has been done but improvements are not reflected in the LTFP. No allocation for upgrade has been made in the LTFP. It can be assumed that some upgrade will be done with renewal allocations. This should be addressed in the review of the LTFP.

Considerations

Future Demand

Develop a marketing plan to engage all users of Caravan Parks Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revision of the AMP in line with the Caravan Park master plans, Marketing Strategies and LTFP needs to be done to align all these strategies.

Challenges • Ageing infrastructure and limited reserve funds for asset renewal • The evolving needs of visitors with an increase demand on improved site layouts, services

and facilities • Increased cost of utilities • Limited operating systems • Patronage dependent on weather • Economic climate affecting visitation numbers and length of stay • Ongoing difficulty in attracting and retaining skilled staff


Data confidence rating is an overall B. More detail information will be viable by the next revaluation due to work currently done on renewing caravan and camping infrastructure. The next inventory audit and condition assessment will be conducted for the next revaluation is due by 30 June 2021.

Level of Service


According to the 2010, 2013 and 2016 surveys the following percentage of customers were satisfied with the following services related to Shire waste services:

2019 Survey Waste collections received a performance index score of 53 which is slightly below the 68 average score of other local governments undertaking the same survey. 69% of respondents indicated a positive score. Respondents did highlight this as one of the seven services they would like the Shire to focus on and made remarks on the following items: • General bin to small, • Fortnightly collections are insufficient, • Bulk rubbish services lacking, • Recycling program needs improvement. The survey was conducted just after changes to the services were made and adjustment to change is expected to lower the score. Landfill Site and Transfer Stations received a performance index score of 51 which is slightly below the 66 average score of other LGs. 70% of respondents indicated a positive score.

% Renewal funded

Annual depreciation

$265,000 $18,780 1411% $24,613 Waste Facilities are unique and very different from traditional local government infrastructure and a review of long term infrastructure renewal for waste facilities will need specialist forward capital works planning, especially in light of the limited life span of waste cells and associated infrastructure that cannot be renewed. Significant investigations and assessments have been conducted in the past

The only renewal work in the LTFP is the Implementation of Landfill Capping & Closure Plan of $2.65 mil over the next 2 years.

Building renewals required within Waste Services are addressed under building asset class.

Funding

1411% of forecast renewal work is funded in the LTFP 2018-2028 (Target 95-105%) This indicates that the Asset Management inventory is either understating the renewal requirement or the renewal projects will include a component of upgrade.


The Shire plans to spend approximately $15 million on new and upgrade strategies over the next 10 years in order to ensure waste services can continue in accordance with licence requirements.

This includes the construction of a Davis Road Waste Transfer Station and Resource Recovery Facility and investments into a Capes Regional Waste Facility.

Development of Wallis Road treatment plant is also to be investigated but is not included in the LTFP.

Other Strategies Shire Waste Management Strategy


The LTFP 2018-19 to 2027-28 FCWP includes for the following renewal subprograms (annual average per year) for waste services facilities:

• Implement Landfill Capping & Closure Plan • Waste Transfer Station & Resource Recovery Facility - equipment procurement • Waste Transfer Station & Resource Recovery Facility – construction • Investment in Capes Regional Waste Facility

According to the LTFP 2018-19 to 2027-28 the Landfill Capping & Closure Plan implementation that identified waste services renewal works will only be required until 2021as part of the closure plan. Forward Planning for waste services facilities will be updated and refined in the next revision of the LTFP currently underway.

Considerations

Future Demand

Various projects for improvement have been identified but an overall revision of the AMP in line with the Waste Master Plan, Waste Management Strategy and LTFP needs to be done to align all these strategies. Forward planning is vital for the strategic and sustainable development of the Shire’s landfill and waste management services into the future. Changes to state government environmental compliance regimes for landfill operations have placed significant monetary burdens on the managers of landfill facilities, many of which are local governments. Other demand management strategies include:

• Partner with the Western Australia Waste Authority to improve local outcomes • Promote the Davis Road Tip Shop as an opportunity for waste to be recycled

Deliver community education for sustainable living by minimising waste outputs

Challenges • Increasing waste volumes due to population growth and tourism, impacting on operations. • Lack of long term waste management planning at regional and state level. • Transport costs, lack of economies of scale, lack of access to end markets and limited

capacity to generate funds place financial burdens on the Shire for recycling and organic processing operations.

• Delivering sustainable waste services without increasing the Waste Maintenance Levy. • Waste policy and compliance changes. • Community change of waste behaviours. • Inefficiencies of internal systems. • Improvement of inventories and renewal strategies.


The confidence rating for information is overall rated at B. The next revaluation is due by 30 June 2022.

Appendix A – List of topics for future individual asset management plans The Department (DLGSCI) requires the AMP to address the following elements:

• Reference to an asset register (which records all assets and their location, acquisition, disposal, transfer and other relevant transactions based on best current information and random condition/performance sampling);

• Defined levels of service for each asset category or particular actions required to provide a defined level of service in the most cost-effective manner;

• Demand forecasting; • Risk management strategies; • Financial information such as asset values, depreciation rates, depreciated values, capital expenditure

projections for new assets as a result of growth, or to renew, upgrade and extend assets; • Strategies to manage any funding gaps; • Consideration of alternative service delivery solutions (leasing, private/public partnerships, shared services

arrangements); • Information on ‘whole of life’ costing including changes in service potential for assets; • A schedule for asset performance review and plan evaluation; • An asset management improvement program; and • Clear linkages to other strategic documents such as the Corporate Business Plan, Long Term Financial

Plan and Annual Budget.
