ITEM 12.1
ATTACHMENT A
COASTAL AND FORESHORE FACILITIES ASSET MANAGEMENT AND EXPANSION PLAN
A consistent approach to Asset Condition rating across all coastal assets has been identified
as part of the improvement Plan as it is proposed that a common rating system be used as
outlined below:
Condition is measured using a 1 – 5 rating system.
1. Very Good. As new and structurally sound. No evidence of deterioration, damage or
discoloration. Fully functional and fit for purpose. Excellent appearance. No work
required.
2. Good. Structurally sound. Minor deterioration, discoloration and wear to surfaces.
Fully functional and fit for purpose. Good appearance. Few customer concerns. Only
minor work required.
3. Fair. Structurally sound. Average condition. Worn finishes require maintenance.
Services are functional but need attention.
4. Poor. Structure functional but signs of significant cracking or distortion. Breaches of
weatherproofing evident. Surfaces in need of significant repair or replacement before
recoating or painting. Fixtures often inoperable or damaged. Services have limited
function with frequent failures. Appearances affected by cracking, staining overflows
or breakages. Regular customer complaints. Some replacement/rehabilitation
required.
5. Very Poor. Structures have serious problems and the integrity of structure is
questionable, serious cracking, distortion, leakages or breakages compromising
operation and/or safety. Coatings badly damaged or non existent. Fittings unsafe or
inoperable. Structure is generally not fit for purpose or for use by customers. Urgent
replacement/ rehabilitation required.
I.8 Plans for the Future
This Plan will assist the City of Busselton and Shire of Augusta Margaret River to operate
and maintain the coastal facilities network to achieve the following strategic objectives.
1. Ensure the coastal facilities network is maintained at a safe and functional standard
as set out in this Plan.
2. Achieve the optimal delivery of services through the efficient and effective
management of the coastal nodes assets at the optimum lifecycle cost.
3. Meet the growth needs for coastal facilities into the future.
In seeking external funding it is recommended, where desired, to do so at a precinct level. In
order to identify the investment priorities an assessment has been made considering the
precinct location, number of visitors, natural environment and precinct characteristics. The
analysis also considered legislative requirements and funding strategies to indicate the
priorities for coastal facilities upgrade works.
