Roads
We manage 708km of roads with 997 traffic control devices. Our local roads incorporate a variety of assets including road bases, road seals, kerbs and traffic control devices (e.g. roundabouts, median islands).
We manage a wide variety of assets across our city valued at $1.8 billion. These assets support the everyday lives and wellbeing of our community and enable our city to run and thrive
At PAE we manage our assets to provide a suitable level of service to current and future generations in the most cost-effective manner. Our approach is strategic and aligned with industry standards to ensure that we manage our assets effectively and sustainably.
The role of our Asset Management Plans (AMPs) is to review the current and ongoing costs required for the delivery of our various assets across council, to ensure they meet the needs of our community and are managed in a financially sustainable manner.
The financial values estimated in the AMPs are transferred to our Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) to forecast future costs and budgets to ensure that we can accommodate projected investment in infrastructure without detriment to PAE’s financial sustainability. AMPs go on to inform our annual budgeting and planning processes across council as well as work programming.
We are seeking feedback from our community on all six of our draft AMPs as well as our draft LTFP. You can share your feedback by completing the Feedback Form below.
Engagement is open until Sunday 13 October 2024.
AMP Overview
What assets do we own and manage?
AMPs
We are currently reviewing and seeking feedback on all six of our draft AMPs listed below:
Our Six Asset Management Plans
-
Buildings
Our building assets range from corporate offices such as the City of PAE Civic Centre, to community buildings like community centres, libraries and sports centres and amenity and outbuildings like public toilets and irrigation sheds.
Footpaths
Our footpath network throughout PAE is made up of various infrastructure assets, including asphalt, concrete, pavers and rubble.
Open Spaces
Our open spaces provide a variety of opportunities for our community that are supporting by the following assets: shelters, BBQs, sport and recreation infrastructure, playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, irrigation systems and other amenities.
Stormwater
Our community stormwater service incorporates many different assets including pipes and culverts, open channels, gross pollutant tramps, trash racks and soakage pits.
Pump Stations
There are 11 pump stations across our city that have a variety of associated assets including rising mains and pits, gantries and screens, pumps, fences, instrumentation, electrical switchboards and generators.
LTFP
Under the Local Government Act 1999, we are required to develop and adopt a Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) that covers a period of 10 years. This plan in conjunction with the City Vision and Asset Management Plans (AMPs), is integral to our Strategic Management Framework.
Our AMPs aim to predict infrastructure consumption and renewal needs and to consider infrastructure requirements to meet future community service expectations. The AMPs set out the forecast capital, maintenance, and operating requirements of the council for the next 10 years, while the LFTP reflects associated expenditure requirements to ensure that we can accommodate projected investment in infrastructure without affecting our financial sustainability
We currently manage an asset base worth over $1.8 billion, comprising mostly infrastructure, land and buildings. We plan to spend around $443 million replacing and renewing assets as well as providing new and upgraded assets over 10 years. This expenditure is embedded in the relevant AMPs. In addition, we have incorporated high-level construction estimates for Semaphore Foreshore, as well as Inclusive Sport Facility investments in, among others, E P Nazer and John Hart Reserves and Port Adelaide Reserve.
Our LTFP is updated annually in order to align current cost predictions, relevant risks, opportunities and mitigation strategies. We are currently seeking feedback on our draft LTFP 2025-34.
