The Queensland Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation has circulated a list of minimum requirements for asset management plans and a list of asset classes and asset sub-classes that should be included within a plan. I was wondering if those Queensland Councils that have yet to draft AMPs are planning to base them on these minimum requirements, and if they might be interested in drafting the plans collaboratively?
I realise that much that goes into an AMP is specific to individual Councils, but I can think of a few things that collaboration could make easier.
Risk identification for example. It might be easier for a group Councils to brainstorm a list of possible risks than for a single Council to do so.
Similarly if we could develop a list of maintenance activities it would make a good check list for Councils when they are developing a Maintenance Plan. I can think of a dozen or more additional examples and 'm sure there are many more than that.
If any one is interested please let me know, in the mean time I will post any helpful bits of information I can think of to the site.
