1. That the report be received and noted

3. With an effective date of 4 March 2022, The Bridge Asset Management Plan, as contained in Appendix 2, be adopted by Council.

Background

The Draft Asset Management Plan - Span and Culvert Bridges provides information about bridge assets and actions required to provide an agreed level of service in the most cost-effective manner while outlining associated risks. The plan defines:

  • the services to be provided
  • how the services are provided, and
  • what funds are required to provide these services over the 10 year planning period.

The Plan will link to Council's Long-Term Financial Plan which typically considers a 10 year planning period.

Bridges considered in this Draft Asset Management Plan

This plan covers Span and Culvert Bridges. There are 27 Span Bridges (Span longer than 6m), 20 Culvert Bridges (Span less than 6m) and a further 53 Pipe/Culvert (minor bridges) represented in this Draft Asset Management Plan.

What is not in the scope of this consultation:

  • New bridge requests – Council is not in a position to provide additional new bridge assets.

If you have a request for any upgrades beyond bridges please feel free to lodge a Customer Request for a specific upgrade or safety check to be included into our zoned maintenance. You can do this by calling 8408 0400 or submit a request via https://www.ahc.sa.gov.au/Pages/Report-An-Issue.aspx

What we want to know:

  • Do the bridges you drive across meet your needs and expectations?
  • Would you be impacted if access to certain bridges was reduced due to increased storm events, or unforeseen closures?
  • Are bridges in good condition and well maintained?
  • Do you feel safe crossing bridges in Adelaide Hills Council?

Levels of Service

The Long Term Financial Plan is insufficient to continue providing existing levels of service for the next 10 year planning period. Consequences of this include:

  • Bridge fatigue will increase
  • Likelihood of increased failures
  • Bridge may require closing due to safety issues

Council is proposing an increase in the overall spend to improve maintenance and undertake planned works over the next 10 year cycle to provide a higher level of service.

Future Demand

Future demand is unpredictable and therefore increases in service levels are difficult to determine. A combination of managing existing assets, upgrading existing assets and providing new assets to meet demand where required is proposed. Demand management practices may also include a combination of non-asset solutions such as insuring against risks and managing failures.
