This plan outlines the importance of the infrastructure assets for which Council is the custodian. The plan informs community on how Council infrastructure and other assets are to be managed in order to achieve objectives listed in the Council Plan and Community Vision.

Developing the Plan

Across 2024-2025, Council undertook the 'Towards a Better Bass Coast' project to inform the development of Council's new key strategic documents for 2025-2029 and beyond.

The documents have been developed reflecting our communities’ priorities which were identified through extensive community consultation completed in July and August 2024 and the deliberative engagement undertaken by the Community Panel earlier this year.

Of the 18 top priorities identified, 13 areas were identified as relying significantly on Council infrastructure assets.

The new Asset Plan, alongside the Long-Term Financial Plan, talks about how Council will responsibly manage over $1.47 billion worth of infrastructure assets including buildings, pathways, stormwater drainage, roads, parks and structures like bridges and playgrounds.

The Asset Plan outlines the value, the costs and the risks of managing Council’s infrastructure assets and how Council is continually improving the way these assets are managed to achieve the Council Plan objectives and the Community Vision.
