Generic Queensland AMP for Stormwater Drainage Networks
1. Introduction and Overview
This Asset Management Plan (AMP) is based on the minimum requirement for asset management plans in Queensland.
1.1 Scope
The following classes and sub-classes are covered by this plan:
- Drainage Basins
- Open Channels
- Stormwater Drains
- Stormwater Pits
- SQIDs & GPTs
1.2 Quantitative Data
Council is responsible for
- x Drainage Basins
- x km of Open Channel
- x km of Stormwater Drains
- x Stormwater Pits
- x SQIDs & GPTs

3. Future Demand
The following Future Demand Forecasts have been derived from Corporate Planning and Service Planning
3.1 Future requirements associated with corporate plans or operational plans
3.2 Known or possible areas for expansion
There are several factors that may effect the demand for and on stormwater drainage assets.
- New Subdivisions
- Population Growth
- Changes in Land Use
- Climate Change
- Changes to Governnment Policy & Regulations
* Asset classes and potential acquisition dates
* Cost estimates
* Impact on service levels, asset lifecycle and financial considerations
4. Lifecycle Management and Financial Considerations
4.1 Useful Life
The useful life of most stormwater drainage assets will depend on a range of environmental factors. The estimated useful lives given below are best guess averages.

4.2 Valuation
The figures below were calculated by applying unit rates to the known quantities of stormwater drainage assets.
The values given were true and correct as of dd/month/year.
4.3 Maintenance Activities
Council performs a number of maintenance activities in relation to stormwater drainage assets, including:
- Condition Inspections - stormwater drainage assets are inspected every ? years/months.
- GPT Clearing - rubbish is removed from GPTs every ? months.
- Slashing - grass lined open drains & drainage basins are slashed every ? months
- Stormwater Pit lid replacement - stormwater pit lids are replaced as required.
Maintenance Expenditure is detailed in the table below.
