FAQs

Asset management planning is an important process to ensure infrastructure is provided in a financially sustainable manner.

Modelling shows that Asset Management Plans reduce risk and cost. Planned works are more affordable and have lower risks than simply re-acting to what are often foreseeable issues.

The draft Asset Management 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 draft plan defines the services to be provided, how the services are provided and what funds are required to provide the services generally over a 10-year planning period.

This draft plan covers the infrastructure assets that provide services for bridges.

Take a look at the draft Asset Management Plan here.

• 27 Span Bridges (Span longer than 6m)
• 20 Culvert Bridges (less than 6m)
• 53 Pipe/Culvert Minor Bridges

Total Replacement Cost - $20,248,837

‘Assets’ refers to infrastructure that is managed by the Adelaide Hills Council. The asset categories that are part of this consultation are: span and culvert bridges.

Asset management requires the understanding of the services that are provided by assets. For example a bridge provides a way to get from one place to another, in a safe manner. 

Customer levels of service are derived from what aspects of the service is important to the customer (is the bridge safe to cross), whether they see value in the service being provided (the bridge I traverse every day is not easily accessible), and what is the likely trend over time based on the current budget (this bridge is becoming unsafe or is impacted by flooding or the bridge has been repaired since storm damage).

Quality - How good is the service … what is the condition or quality of the service?

Function - Is it suitable for its intended purpose …. Is it the right service?

Capacity/Use - Is the service over or under used … do we need more or less of these assets?

Sustainability - Coordinating existing strategies and using sustainable materials for the optimum approach,  whilst minimising the impact on the environment
