Council is encouraging the community to provide input on how its almost $2 billion worth of assets should be managed into the future. The Asset Plan guides the service levels for essential infrastructure such as roads, playgrounds, community buildings, drainage, and open spaces, ensuring they meet the needs of our growing population.

Council’s Director Infrastructure, Gary Randhawa, urged the community to take this final opportunity to contribute.

“This is your chance to have a say on how Council manages assets that impact your daily life. We want to hear what is important to you and what you think should be prioritised,” Mr Randhawa said.

“Our community relies on these assets every day, whether it is the roads we drive on, the parks we enjoy, or the facilities we use. This is an important opportunity to influence how Council plans for the future.”

The Asset Plan covers:

Open space areas including playing courts and fields, playground sites, trees, open space structures and open space areas.
