ITEM 12.1
ATTACHMENT A
COASTAL AND FORESHORE FACILITIES ASSET MANAGEMENT AND EXPANSION PLAN
2.3 Desirable Levels of Service
The CoB provides infrastructure at the local nodes to facilitate access and interaction with
the coastline to the community and visitors. The desirable level of service is achieved when
the user has a pleasant, convenient and safe experience using the facilities provided.
The level of service provided at the coastal nodes varied accordingly with the hierarchy. The
major coastal nodes, due to its larger investment and the fact that is serves a larger number
of people, provide more robust facilities and are maintained to a higher standard than local
coastal nodes which service a limited parcel of the community.
For every node, each asset has been given a condition score relating to its level of service.
Based on discussion contained in this report regarding appropriate levels of service the
maintenance and renewal recommendations are based on achieving a minimum level 2
“good” standard.
2.4 Codes of Practice and Standards

infrastructure put in place for the community. In determining the appropriate maintenance or

complied with as a minimum.
