Some councils capitalise open space assets, but many currently do not. This project is intended to help councils that are moving towards capitalising parks and open space assets by establishing:
- which councils currently capitalise parks and open space assets;
- which asset types are typically considered to be open space assets;
- typical unit rates;
- typical asset & component useful lives;
- typical componentisation schemes.
Ideally it will establish default values for unit rates and useful lives, that will be widely accepted by auditors as appropriate.
