EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Context The Ku-ring-gai local government area is located in Sydneys northern suburbs, 16 kilometres north of the city centre. With nine suburbs, covering 84 square kilometres, the area is predominantly residential. There are significant areas of park and bushland with very little commercial, and no industrial land use. A key issue facing Council is the management of ageing assets in need of renewal and replacement. Our infrastructure, including council roads present particular challenges. Their condition and longevity can be difficult to determine. Financing needs can be large, requiring planning for large peaks and troughs in expenditure for renewing and replacing such assets. The demand for new and improved services adds to the planning and financing complexity. The creation of new assets also presents challenges in funding the ongoing operating and replacement costs necessary to provide the needed service over the assets full life cycle. Ku-ring-gai Council provides a road network in partnership with the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW to enable vehicles and other road users to safely travel throughout the Council area. The Roads network comprises: Local roads Collector roads Regional roads The road assets are classified according to their function and have various responsibilities. Local roads are used mainly by local traffic and generally have low traffic volumes and fully maintained and constructed by Council.
Collector roads are those roads that provide a link between either state roads or regional roads and carry higher amounts of traffic and fully maintained by Council. Regional roads provide a link across regions and state roads with funding provided by the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW and Council generally on a shared basis and maintained by Council. These infrastructure assets have a replacement value of $ 370,301,276. The Asset Plan Methodology One of the important aspects of the asset management plan is the forecast of existing asset renewal requirements. For the Ku-ring-gai Roads Asset Management Plan, three scenarios have been considered. Scenario 1 uses the councils asset register valuation data to project the renewal costs. In this scenario the acquisition year of an asset is added to the useful life of the asset to estimate the year when renewal is due. The cost to renew the asset category can be aggregated to estimate the total renewal requirements for each year of the planning period. Scenario 2 uses capital renewal expenditure projections assessed by technical staff. The roads with a remaining useful life of less than ten years were included in this scenario. Scenario 3 is the reality of the situation when the capital renewal expenditures that can be achieved are with available funds in the Long Term Financial Plan.
The results for the 3 scenarios described are included in this asset management plan and they reveal some inconsistencies.
-2-
Scenario 1 indicates that the funds to meet the forecast renewal requirements cannot be met by the current funding being planned. The gap is $22.7M. Scenario 2 was prepared using the technical estimates of what renewal is required to sustain the current levels of service, and this estimated that the renewal requirements will be beyond the current funding capacity of council. The gap in this scenario is $5.7M. This position is more consistent with the community feedback and the overall assessment of the network made by Ku-ring Council Technical staff Scenario 3 is a reflection of the actual funding available. The difference between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 represents what we cant do. The discussion about this gap will lead us into a much better informed community discussion about what are achievable and acceptable service levels, as well as giving a focus on managing risk It is most probable that the valuation registers used in Scenario 1 are not yet developed to a level of maturity where they are reliable for producing a realistic renewal forecast. Once the data is improved, the asset register should be consistent with the capital renewal program. For Ku-ring-gai Council, the refinement of the asset register to achieve this situation should become an important part of the asset management improvement plan. What does it Cost? The forecast of the projected outlays necessary to provide the services covered by this Asset Management Plan (AM Plan) includes operations, maintenance and renewal of existing assets over the 10 year planning period is $145M or $14.5M on average per year. This is based on the Scenario 2
methodology as it is currently the most reliable estimate. Estimated available funding for this period is $88M or $8.8M on average per year which is 61% of the cost to provide the service. This is a funding shortfall of $5.7M on average per year. What we will do We plan to provide services for the following: Operation, maintenance, renewal and upgrade of road infrastructure to meet service levels set by council in annual budgets. Upgrades funded within the 10 year planning period.
This will be provided to the extent of the current budget. What we cannot do We do not have enough funding to provide all services at the desired service levels and therefore work will be prioritised based on risk and asset condition. Only a limited number of new link roads will be created. These roads are associated with new developments such as sub divisions. Managing the Risks The operations and maintenance activities and capital projects that cannot be undertaken may maintain or create risk consequences for the organisation. These include: Additional cost for each block to rebuild the road pavement due to the wearing surface not being replaced within required timeframe Insufficient funding to carry out intermediate maintenance (patching) to keep an asset in fair condition - delaying the
-3-
need for more major works (resurfacing or reconstruction),

Damage to vehicle and injury to passenger from MVA caused by failed road surface
Maintain the current assets in a safe condition Continue to assess condition and report annually on the state of the assets for condition, function and capacity. Improve asset management capability to provide the same or better service level at lower life cycle cost whilst managing risk. Improve life cycle cost analysis on the optimum frequency of road resurfacing to minimise expensive pavement repairs.
We will endeavour to manage these risks within available funding by: Roads Risk Treatment Plan # 1 Strategies to be developed to advocate for additional funding to reduce funding gaps. Resource allocation and service levels to be reviewed and additional funding to be requested as part of the Asset Management Strategy.
Roads Risk Treatment Plan #2 Formal risk monitoring programs to be developed and integrated into the Roads Maintenance Policy and Procedures. i.e. Regular review and reporting of accident statistics, CRM requests, major changes in condition ratings.
Roads Risk Treatment Plan # 3 Review of Roads Maintenance Policy and Procedures to further define existing risk management practices and integrate with Councils Risk Management Framework.
The Next Steps The actions resulting from this asset management plan are: Annually review the 4 year delivery program and ensure it is balanced to the long term financial plan. Update the asset management plan projections to align.

What is this plan about? This asset management plan covers the road network that provides a service to the Ku-ring-gai community. The roads, which are classified as local, collector and regional, enable people to safely travel throughout the area. What is an Asset Management Plan? Asset management planning is a comprehensive process to ensure delivery of services from infrastructure is provided in a financially sustainable manner. An asset management plan details information about infrastructure assets including actions required to provide an agreed level of service in the most cost effective manner. The plan defines the services to be provided, how the services are provided and what funds are required to provide the services. Why is there a funding shortfall? Most of the Councils road network was constructed by developers and from government grants, often provided and accepted without consideration of ongoing operations, maintenance and replacement needs. Many of these assets are approaching the later years of their life and require replacement, services from the assets are decreasing and maintenance costs are increasing. What options do we have? Resolving the funding shortfall involves several steps: 1. Improving asset knowledge so that data accurately records the asset inventory, how assets are performing and when assets are not able to provide the required service levels,
2. Improving our efficiency in operating, maintaining, renewing and replacing existing assets to optimise life cycle costs, 3. Identifying and managing risks associated with providing services from infrastructure, 4. Making trade-offs between service levels and costs to ensure that the community receives the best return from infrastructure, 5. Identifying assets surplus to needs for disposal to make saving in future operations and maintenance costs, 6. Consulting with the community to ensure that the road services and costs meet community needs and are affordable, 7. Developing partnership with other bodies, where available to provide services, 8. Seeking additional funding from governments and other bodies to better reflect a whole of government funding approach to infrastructure services. What happens if we dont manage the shortfall? In the event of required reductions to service levels the reduction may include an increase in maintenance and operating expenditure for existing assets and an inability to fund new assets. Redirecting funding from other areas and the sale of assets will also be considered. What can we do? We can develop options, costs and priorities for future road services, consult regularly with the community to plan future services to match the community service needs with ability to
-5-
pay for services and maximise community benefits against costs. What can you do? We will be pleased to consider your thoughts on the issues raised in this asset management plan and suggestions on how we may change or reduce the roads services to ensure that the appropriate level of service can be provided to the community within available funding.

2. 2.1
INTRODUCTION Background
This asset management plan is to demonstrate responsive management of assets (and services provided from assets), compliance with regulatory requirements, and to communicate funding needed to provide the required levels of service over a 10 year planning period. The asset management plan follows the format for AM Plans recommended in Section 4.2.6 of the International Infrastructure Management Manual1. The asset management plan is to be read with the organisations Asset Management Policy, Asset Management Strategy and the following associated planning documents: Roads Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Roads Maintenance Procedure Long Term Financial Plan (adopted in May 2012 and revised annually)
ASSET MANAGEMENT CRITERIA FOR ROADS The components for Councils road network are as follows: A. Wearing Surface
The road wearing surface is the layer on top of the pavement. For most roads around Kuring-Gai, this is usually the top 50mm layer of asphalt. B. Pavement
The pavement is the layer of material between the natural subgrade (formation) and the wearing surface. The layer of pavement will be dependent on the road type based on the various road classifications and traffic volumes. C. Formation
The formation is the area of road under the pavement that is required to support the road pavement. The road types and the typical pavement construction are as described below: 1. Local Roads
Local roads are those roads which normally carry less than 2000 vehicles per day and heavy vehicles are usually confined to waste collection and removalist vans. The pavement construction generally consists of 40mm to 50mm of asphaltic concrete and 10mm to 150 mm of Dense Graded Base material nominally 20mm aggregate. The cost to replace these roads is estimated at $75 per square metre which is $25/m2 for the wearing surface and $50/m2 for the pavement.
IPWEA, 2011, Sec 4.2.6, Example of an Asset Management Plan Structure, pp 4|24 27.

Collector Roads Collector roads are those roads which normally carry traffic volumes between 2000 and 15000 vehicles per day. The heavy vehicle component of these roads is generally around 5% of the traffic volume. The pavement construction generally consists of 50mm of asphaltic concrete and 150 to 200 mm of Dense Graded Base material nominally 20mm aggregate. The cost to replace these roads is estimated at $90 per square metre which is $30/m2 for the wearing surface and $60/m2 for the pavement.
3.
Regional Roads Regional roads are those roads which normally carry traffic volumes between 5000 and 20000 vehicles per day. The heavy vehicle component of these roads is generally greater than 5% of the traffic volume. The pavement construction generally consists of 50mm of asphaltic concrete and 200 to 250 mm of Dense Graded Base material nominally 20mm aggregate. The cost to replace these roads is estimated at $132 per square metre which is $32/m2 for the wearing surface and $100/m2 for the pavement.
Fair Value estimates for roads: The fair value estimates for roads is based on a straight line depreciation model where a road found to be in a good condition has a fair value equivalent to its replacement value. A road that has depreciated and considered to be in a poor condition will have a lower fair value based on the depreciated amount of the wearing surface and pavement. As the wearing surface and pavement have different useful lives, the total fair value is based on the cumulative cost for each component. An example of this can be shown in the graphs below:
Pavement Depreciation Model
50 45 40 Replacement Cost $ 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 years 10 years 20 years 30 years 40 years 50 years
The total fair value of a road is equivalent the sum of the depreciation of the pavement, wearing surface and formation based on its condition and age. The annual depreciation is calculated on the amount of depreciation per year for each of the components. For accounting purposes, the depreciation will be based on
-8-
straight line depreciation. However, in practice a road does not depreciate in a straight line format.
The remaining useful life of a road pavement and surface is based on the formula; (Useful Life x Condition Index) / Number Number of condition levels
The condition levels relate to the condition of the asset. The condition index was developed to address issues arising from assets which continue to provide a service despite exceeding their technical useful life Residual values for both the wearing surface and the pavement are determined by calculating the difference in cost for the actual treatment of the roads such as stabilisation and resheeting less the cost of fully replacing a road pavement and surface. This infrastructure assets covered by this asset management plan are shown in Table 2.1. These assets are used to provide transport services to its community.

Goals and Objectives of Asset Management
The organisation exists to provide services to its community. Some of these services are provided by infrastructure assets. We have acquired infrastructure assets by purchase, by contract, construction by our staff and by donation of assets constructed by developers and others to meet increased levels of service. Our goal in managing infrastructure assets is to meet the defined level of service (as amended from time to time) in the most cost effective manner for present and future consumers. The key elements of infrastructure asset management are: 2.3 Providing a defined level of service and monitoring performance, Managing the impact of growth through demand management and infrastructure investment, Taking a lifecycle approach to developing cost-effective management strategies for the long-term that meet the defined level of service, Identifying, assessing and appropriately controlling risks, and Having a long-term financial plan which identifies required, affordable expenditure and how it will be financed.2 Plan Framework
Key elements of the plan are Levels of service specifies the services and levels of service to be provided by Council, Future demand how this will impact on future service delivery and how this is to be met, Life cycle management how we will manage our existing and future assets to provide defined levels of service, Financial summary what funds are required to provide the defined services, Asset management practices, Monitoring how the plan will be monitored to ensure it is meeting the organisations objectives, Asset management improvement plan.

Core and Advanced Asset Management
This asset management plan is prepared as a core asset management plan over a 10 year planning period in accordance with the International Infrastructure Management Manual3. It is prepared to meet minimum legislative and organisational requirements for sustainable service delivery and long term financial planning and reporting. Core asset management is a top down approach where analysis is applied at the system or network level. Future revisions of this asset management plan will move towards advanced asset management using a bottom up approach for gathering asset information for individual assets to support the optimisation of activities and programs to meet agreed service levels. 2.5 Community Consultation
This core asset management plan is prepared to facilitate community consultation initially through feedback on public display of draft asset management plans prior to adoption by the Council. Council has completed consultation with the community on service levels and costs of providing the service for roads. Future revisions of the asset management plan will incorporate further community consultation on service levels and costs of providing the service. This will assist the Council and the community in matching the level of service needed by the community, service risks and consequences with the communitys ability and willingness to pay for the service. 3. 3.1 LEVELS OF SERVICE Customer Research and Expectations
Council conducts Customer Satisfaction surveys every four years to determine community attitudes towards the services and facilities it provides about the quality and appropriateness of each of its services. The most recent survey was conducted in 2010 and this information gave us an indication on what services the needed improvement. In addition to this survey, Council engaged a consultant to conduct consultation with the community on improving our infrastructure assets in 2012. The survey asked residents the importance and satisfaction of each asset class along with their level of support in increasing funding to each asset. The results identified local roads, footpaths, drainage and community buildings as the highest priority assets, with roads the most supported asset for continued funding and improvements. Most recently, Council engaged a consultant to determine the communities support for the continuation of the special rate variation for the infrastructure levy. All funding from the levy is allocated to the renewal of our local, collector and regional roads. Key results from the survey include;
IPWEA, 2011, IIMM.
- 12 -
88% of residents are at least somewhat supportive for the continuation of the special rate variation to fund road renewal 92% of residents are at least somewhat supportive of Council continuing the infrastructure levy
The organisation uses this information in developing its Strategic Plan and in allocation of resources in the Long Term Financial Plan. 3.2 Strategic and Corporate Goals
This asset management plan is prepared under the direction of the organisations vision, aim, goals and objectives. Source Community Strategic Plan 2030 Our vision is: Ku-ring-gai will be a creative, vibrant place where citizens respect each other and conserve the magnificent environment and society for our children and grandchildren. Our Aim is: Our assets are managed effectively to meet community needs and standards within available resources. Other visions and objectives and how these are addressed in this asset management plan are:

How The Asset Management Plans contribute to achieving these outcomes
Ku-ring-gai will have safe and accessible local roads
Improve the condition of local roads
Infrastructure is provided to support services. Getti the correct infrastructure appropriate to the needs of t community is a primary goal of Asset Manageme Planning.
A primary objective of the asset management plan is to develop a lifecycle approach to the provision of infrastructure. This aims to minimise the life cycle cost assets while maximising the service that is delivered Ku-ring-gai is a place with infrastructure and facilities that accommodate the needs of the community Establish a program that provides funding to maintain council assets at a sustainable standard
Increase the use of recycling products in all Council managed infrastructure developments Ku-ring-gai is a place with infrastructure and planning systems that accommodate the identity of the community Long term planning and funding strategy established for the delivery of high quality infrastructure that meets the needs of the community
Use of recycled products to reduce life cycle costs is identified within the plan.
- 13 -
The Council will exercise its duty of care to ensure public safety in accordance with the infrastructure risk management plan prepared in conjunction with this AM Plan. Management of infrastructure risks is covered in Section 5.2 3.3 Legislative Requirements
We have to meet many legislative requirements including Australian and State legislation and State regulations. These include:
Table 3.3: Legislative Requirements Legislation Local Government Act 1993 Requirement Sets out role, purpose, responsibilities and powers of local governments including the preparation of a long term financial plan supported by asset management plans for sustainable service delivery. Sets out rule, purpose, responsibilities and powers of local governments relating to the management and control of road assets. Sets out the roles and responsibilities to ensure the health, safety and welfare of persons at work. The Australian Accounting Standards Section 27 (AAS27) requires that assets be valued, and reported in the annual accounts, which also includes depreciation value (i.e. how fast are these assets wearing out).

3.4
Current Levels of Service
We have defined service levels in two terms. Community Levels of Service measure how the community receives the service and whether the organisation is providing community value. Community levels of service measures used in the asset management plan are: Quality Function Capacity/Utilisation How good is the service? Does it meet users needs? Is the service over or under used?
Technical Levels of Service - Supporting the community service levels are operational or technical measures of performance. These technical measures relate to the allocation of resources to service activities that the organisation undertakes to best achieve the desired community outcomes and demonstrate effective organisational performance. Technical service measures are linked to annual budgets covering: Operations the regular activities to provide services such as opening hours, cleansing frequency, mowing frequency, etc. Maintenance the activities necessary to retain an assets as near as practicable to an appropriate service condition (e.g. road patching, unsealed road grading, building and structure repairs), Renewal the activities that return the service capability of an asset up to that which it had originally (e.g. frequency and cost of road resurfacing and pavement reconstruction, pipeline replacement and building component replacement),
- 14 -
Upgrade the activities to provide an higher level of service (e.g. widening a road, sealing an unsealed road, replacing a pipeline with a larger size) or a new service that did not exist previously (e.g. a new library).
Asset managers plan, implement and control technical service levels to influence the customer service levels.4 Our current service levels are detailed in Table 3.4.

FUTURE DEMAND Demand Drivers
Drivers affecting demand include population change, changes in demographics, seasonal factors, vehicle ownership rates, consumer preferences and expectations, technological changes, economic factors, agricultural practices, environmental awareness, etc. 4.2 Demand Forecast
The present position and projections for demand drivers that may impact future service delivery and utilisation of assets were identified and are documented in Table 4.3. 4.3 Demand Impact on Assets
The impact of demand drivers that may affect future service delivery and utilisation of assets are shown in Table 4.3.

4.4
Demand Management Plan
Demand for new services will be managed through a combination of managing existing assets, upgrading of existing assets and providing new assets to meet demand and demand management. Demand management practices include non-asset solutions, insuring against risks and managing failures. Non-asset solutions focus on providing the required service without the need for the organisation to own the assets and management actions including reducing demand for the service, reducing the level of service (allowing some assets to deteriorate beyond current service levels) or educating customers to accept appropriate asset failures 5. Examples of non-asset solutions include providing services from existing
infrastructure such as aquatic centres and libraries that may be in another community area or public toilets provided in commercial premises.
Opportunities identified to date for demand management are shown in Table 4.4. Further opportunities will be developed in future revisions of this asset management plan.

Asset Programs to meet Demand
The new assets required to meet growth will be acquired from land developments and constructed by Council. Essentially there will be limited new assets from growth apart from the new link roads proposed in the town centres associated with the LEP and some minor sub-division approvals. The cumulative value of new contributed and constructed asset values to meet demand are summarised in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Upgrade and New Assets to meet Demand
Acquiring these new assets will commit the organisation to fund ongoing operations, maintenance and renewal costs for the period that the service provided from the assets is required. These future costs are identified and considered in developing forecasts of future operations, maintenance and renewal costs in Section 5.

Asset condition
Assessment of Council roads is detailed in the Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure 20086 (Appendix A) roads are inspected to identify pot holes and pavement failures and all data is updated into the pavement management database. Roads are surveyed on a 5yr cycle. More detailed inspections of all roads in a poor or very poor condition is carried out every twelve months. Roads are also inspected on a reactive basis when pot holes or damaged section of the roads are reported to Council by customer request. The condition profile of our assets is shown in Figure 3.

Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
The Asset Management Risk Guide defines how the Risk Management processes are integrated through out both strategic and operational Asset Management Practices. This process includes a detailed assessment of risks associated with service delivery from infrastructure assets which has identified significant risks that may result in loss or reduction in service from infrastructure assets or a financial shock to the organisation. This risk assessment process: identifies risks, and determines an inherent risk rating(no risk treatments in place), defines the existing risk treatments, reassess the risk score (residual risk), evaluates whether the risk is significant, controls are adequate and if a risk treatment plan is required where risk levels are unacceptable. Where risk levels are unacceptable a risk treatment plan is developed.
Each group of asset custodians are responsible for maintaining a risk register to assist in the identification of significant risks for their asset group. The detailed risk registers feed relevant risk information and risk treatment actions into both the Asset Management Strategy and Asset Management Plans. Those significant risks with an unacceptable level of uncontrolled risk will be monitored via the Significant Risk Register which requires a detailed risk treatment plan to be completed for each significant risk to assist in bringing the risk level to an acceptable level. Significant Risks are those that are High or Extreme with no risk treatment in place or Moderate-4 or higher with risk treatments applied. 5.2.1 Roads Infrastructure Risk Treatment Plans Roads Risk Treatment Plan # 1 Strategies to be developed to advocate for additional funding to reduce funding gaps. Resource allocation and service levels to be reviewed and additional funding to be requested as part of the Asset Management Strategy.

Routine Operations and Maintenance Plan
Operations include regular activities to provide services such as public health, safety and amenity, e.g. street sweeping, grass mowing and street lighting. Routine maintenance is the regular on-going work that is necessary to keep assets operating, including instances where portions of the asset fail and need immediate repair to make the asset operational again. 5.3.1 Operations and Maintenance Plan
Operations activities affect service levels including quality and function through street sweeping and grass mowing frequency, intensity and spacing of street lights and cleaning frequency and opening hours of building and other facilities. Maintenance includes all actions necessary for retaining an asset as near as practicable to an appropriate service condition including regular ongoing day-to-day work necessary to keep assets operating, e.g. road patching but excluding rehabilitation or renewal. Maintenance may be classifies into reactive, planned and specific maintenance work activities. Reactive maintenance is unplanned repair work carried out in response to service requests and management/supervisory directions. Planned maintenance is repair work that is identified and managed through a maintenance management system (MMS). MMS activities include inspection, assessing the condition against failure/breakdown experience, prioritising, scheduling, actioning the work and reporting what was done to develop a maintenance history and improve maintenance and service delivery performance. Specific maintenance is replacement of higher value components/sub-components of assets that is undertaken on a regular cycle including repainting, replacing air conditioning units, etc. This work falls below the capital/maintenance threshold but may require a specific budget allocation. Actual past maintenance expenditure is shown in Table 5.3.1.
Table 5.3.1: Maintenance Expenditure Trends Year 2009/2010 2010/2011 2011/2012 Maintenance Expenditure Planned and Specific Reactive $ 858, 690 $ 214, 673 $ 944, 844 $ 236, 211 $ 938,018 $ 234,504
Planned maintenance work is allocated as 80% and reactive work is 20% of total maintenance expenditure. Maintenance expenditure levels are considered to be adequate to meet projected service levels, which may be less than or equal to current service levels. Where maintenance expenditure levels are such that will result in a lesser level of service, the service consequences and service risks have been identified and service consequences highlighted in this AM Plan and service risks considered in the Infrastructure Risk Management Plan.
- 26 -
Assessment and prioritisation of reactive maintenance is undertaken by Council staff using experience and judgement.
5.3.2
Operations and Maintenance Strategies
The organisation will operate and maintain assets to provide the defined level of service to approved budgets in the most cost-efficient manner. The operation and maintenance activities include: Scheduling operations activities to deliver the defined level of service in the most efficient manner, Undertaking maintenance activities through a planned maintenance system to reduce maintenance costs and improve maintenance outcomes. Undertake cost-benefit analysis to determine the most cost-effective split between planned and unplanned maintenance activities (50 70% planned desirable as measured by cost), Maintain a current infrastructure risk register for assets and present service risks associated with providing services from infrastructure assets and reporting Very High and High risks and residual risks after treatment to management and Council/Board, Review current and required skills base and implement workforce training and development to meet required operations and maintenance needs, Review asset utilisation to identify underutilised assets and appropriate remedies, and over utilised assets and customer demand management options, Maintain a current hierarchy of critical assets and required operations and maintenance activities, Develop and regularly review appropriate emergency response capability, Review management of operations and maintenance activities to ensure Council is obtaining best value for resources used.
Critical Assets Critical assets are those assets which have a high consequence of failure but not necessarily a high likelihood of failure. By identifying critical assets and critical failure modes, organisations can target and refines investigative activities, maintenance plans and capital expenditure plans at the appropriate time. Operations and maintenances activities may be targeted to mitigate critical assets failure and maintain service levels. These activities may include increased inspection frequency, higher maintenance intervention levels, etc.

Summary of future operations and maintenance expenditures
Future operations and maintenance expenditure is forecast to trend in line with the value of the asset stock as shown in Figure 4. Note that all costs are shown in current 2012 dollar values (i.e. real values).
Figure 4: Projected Operations and Maintenance Expenditure
The small increase is indicative of the need to fund operations and maintenance associated with the new assets created during the planning period. Deferred maintenance i.e. works that are identified for maintenance and unable to be funded are to be included in the risk assessment and analysis in the infrastructure risk management plan. Maintenance is funded from the operating budget where available. This is further discussed in Section 6.2.

5.4
Renewal/Replacement Plan
Renewal and replacement expenditure is major work which does not increase the assets design capacity but restores, rehabilitates, replaces or renews an existing asset to its original or lesser required service potential. Work over and above restoring an asset to original service potential is upgrade/expansion or new works expenditure. 5.4.1 Renewal plan
Assets requiring renewal are identified from estimates of remaining life obtained from the roads asset register. Candidate proposals are inspected to verify accuracy of remaining life estimate and to develop a preliminary renewal estimate. Verified proposals are ranked by priority and available funds and scheduled in future works programmes. Assets requiring renewal/replacement are identified from the three methods provided in the Expenditure Template. Method 1 uses Asset Register data to project the renewal costs using acquisition year and useful life to determine the renewal year, or Method 2 uses capital renewal expenditure projections based on renewal values of roads with remaining useful lives less than 10 years. Method 3 uses budgeted renewal figures identified in the Long Term Financial Plan.
A combination of these methods was used to prepare the 3 renewal scenarios included in this asset management plan. Assets requiring renewal are identified comparing 3 Scenarios. It is common that the valuation registers used in Scenario 1 are not developed to a level of maturity where they are reliable for producing a realistic renewal forecast. Ideally when this asset register is updated this should be consistent with the capital renewal program. For Ku-ring-gai Council the refinement of the asset register to achieve this situation will become an important part of the asset management improvement plan. Scenario 2 is prepared using the technical estimates of what renewal is required to sustain the current levels of service, and it is common that that this estimate will be beyond the current funding capacity of council. Scenario 3 is a reflection of the actual funding available. The difference between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 represents what we cant do. The discussion about this gap will lead us into a much better informed community discussion about what are achievable and acceptable service levels, as well as giving a focus on managing risk.

5.4.2
Renewal and Replacement Strategies
The organisation will plan capital renewal and replacement projects to meet level of service objectives and minimise infrastructure service risks by: Planning and scheduling renewal projects to deliver the defined level of service in the most efficient manner, Undertaking project scoping for all capital renewal and replacement projects to identify: o o o
o o
the service delivery deficiency, present risk and optimum time for renewal/replacement, the project objectives to rectify the deficiency, the range of options, estimated capital and life cycle costs for each options that could address the service deficiency,
and evaluate the options against evaluation criteria adopted by Council, and select the best option to be included in capital renewal programs,
Using low cost renewal methods (cost of renewal is less than replacement) wherever possible, Maintain a current infrastructure risk register for assets and service risks associated with providing services from infrastructure assets and reporting Very High and High risks and residual risks after treatment to management and Council, Review current and required skills base and implement workforce training and development to meet required construction and renewal needs, Maintain a current hierarchy of critical assets and capital renewal treatments and timings required, Review management of capital renewal and replacement activities to ensure Council is obtaining best value for resources used.
- 31 -
Renewal ranking criteria Asset renewal and replacement is typically undertaken to either: Ensure the reliability of the existing infrastructure to deliver the service it was constructed to facilitate (e.g. replacing a bridge that has a 5 t load limit), or To ensure the infrastructure is of sufficient quality to meet the service requirements (e.g. roughness of a road).8
It is possible to get some indication of capital renewal and replacement priorities by identifying assets or asset groups that: Have a high consequence of failure, Have a high utilisation and subsequent impact on users would be greatest, The total value represents the greatest net value to the organisation, Have the highest average age relative to their expected lives, Are identified in the AM Plan as key cost factors, Have high operational or maintenance costs, and Where replacement with modern equivalent assets would yield material savings.9
The ranking of renewal projects is determined by SMEC Pavement Management System and the fair valuation asset register. The future program is included in the Long Term Financial Plan.

Projected future renewal and replacement expenditures are forecast to increase over time as the asset stock increases from growth. The expenditure is summarised in Fig 5. Note that all amounts are shown in real values. The projected capital renewal and replacement program is shown in Appendix B.
Figure 5.1: Projected Capital Renewal Expenditure (Scenario 1 - from Asset Register)
The renewal projection (forecast) in Scenario 1 (Using the asset/valuation register) generates a highly variable renewal profile. Whilst the long term averages and total values from this register are sound, the shorter term renewal forecast are not, and are inconsistent with the known capital renewal plans. This indicates that further refinement of the asset register is required before it is valuable as a capital renewal planning tool. This should be given a high priority in the asset management improvement plan.
- 33 -
Figure 5.2: Projected Capital Renewal Expenditure (Scenario 2 roads with remaining useful lives of less than 10 years)
The current renewal expenditure is anticipated to be insufficient for the short term and there is likely to be reduction in service levels and increasing risks.
Figure 5.3: Projected Capital Renewal Expenditure (Scenario 3 Balanced with Long Term Financial Plan)
The first 10 years of expenditure shown in Fig 5.3 matches the funding provision in the long term financial plan. The peaks in renewal outside of the 10 year long term financial planning period (2023 & 2024) are indicative of what cannot be done.
- 34 -
Deferred renewal and replacement, i.e. those assets identified for renewal and/or replacement and not scheduled in capital works programs are to be included in the risk analysis process in the risk management plan. Renewals and replacement expenditure in the organisations capital works program will be accommodated in the long term financial plan. This is further discussed in Section 6.2. 5.5 Creation/Acquisition/Upgrade Plan
New works are those works that create a new asset that did not previously exist, or works which upgrade or improve an existing asset beyond its existing capacity. They may result from growth, social or environmental needs. Assets may also be acquired at no cost to the organisation from land development. These assets from growth are considered in Section 4.4. The total amount of funding allocated for new or upgraded roads is $ 3million (LTFP) over the next ten years. This is an annual average value of 300K. 5.5.1 Selection criteria
New assets and upgrade/expansion of existing assets are mainly associated with new developments such as sub divisions. New link roads are planned in the town centres associated with the development contributions plan. 5.5.2 Capital Investment Strategies
The organisation will plan capital upgrade and new projects to meet level of service objectives by: Planning and scheduling capital upgrade and new projects to deliver the defined level of service in the most efficient manner, Undertake project scoping for all capital upgrade/new projects to identify: o the service delivery deficiency, present risk and required timeline for delivery of the upgrade/new asset, o the project objectives to rectify the deficiency including value management for major projects, o the range of options, estimated capital and life cycle costs for each options that could address the service deficiency, o management of risks associated with alternative options, o and evaluate the options against evaluation criteria adopted by Council/Board, and o select the best option to be included in capital upgrade/new programs, Review current and required skills base and implement training and development to meet required construction and project management needs, Review management of capital project management activities to ensure Council is obtaining best value for resources used.
Standards and specifications for new assets and for upgrade/expansion of existing assets are the same as those for renewal shown in Section 5.4.2.

5.5.3
Summary of future upgrade/new assets expenditure
Projected upgrade/new asset expenditures are summarised in Fig 6. All amounts are shown in real values.
Fig 6: Projected Capital Upgrade/New Asset Expenditure
Expenditure on new assets and services in the organisations capital works program will be accommodated in the long term financial plan. This is further discussed in Section 6.2. 5.6 Disposal Plan
Disposal includes any activity associated with disposal of a decommissioned asset including sale, demolition or relocation. These assets will be further reinvestigated to determine the required levels of service and see what options are available for alternate service delivery, if any. Any revenue gained from asset disposals is accommodated in the organisations long term financial plan. Where cash flow projections from asset disposals are not available, these will be developed in future revisions of this asset management plan.

5.7
Service Consequences and Risks
The organisation has prioritised decisions made in adopting this AM Plan to obtain the optimum benefits from its available resources. Decisions were made based on the development of 3 scenarios of AM Plans. Scenario 1 - What we would like to do based on asset register data Scenario 2 What we should do with existing budgets and identifying level of service and risk consequences (i.e. what are the operations and maintenance and capital projects we are unable to do, what is the service and risk consequences associated with this position). This may require several versions of the AM Plan. Scenario 3 What we can do and be financially sustainable with AM Plans matching long-term financial plans. The development of scenario 1 and scenario 2 AM Plans provides the tools for discussion with the Council and community on trade-offs between what we would like to do (scenario 1) and what we should be doing with existing budgets (scenario 2) by balancing changes in services and service levels with affordability and acceptance of the service and risk consequences of the trade-off position (scenario 3). 5.7.1 What we cannot do
We do not have enough funding to provide all services at the desired service levels and therefore work will be prioritised based on Councils Pavement Management System and available funding. Only a limited number of new link roads will be created. These roads are associated with new developments such as sub divisions. 5.7.2 Service consequences
Operations and maintenance activities and capital projects that cannot be undertaken will maintain or create service consequences for users. These include: 5.7.3 Continue to apply temporary treatments to roads by maintenance crews to help keep roads serviceable until they can be reconstructed. Risk consequences
The operations and maintenance activities and capital projects that cannot be undertaken may maintain or create risk consequences for the organisation. These include: Additional cost for each block to rebuild the road pavement due to the wearing surface not being replaced within required timeframe Insufficient funding to carry out intermediate maintenance (patching) to keep an asset in fair condition - delaying the need for more major works (resurfacing or reconstruction), Damage to vehicle and injury to passenger from MVA caused by failed road surface
These risks have been included with the Infrastructure Risk Management Plan summarised in Section 5.2 and risk management plans actions and expenditures included within projected expenditures.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
This section contains the financial requirements resulting from all the information presented in the previous sections of this asset management plan. The financial projections will be improved as further information becomes available on desired levels of service and current and projected future asset performance. 6.1 Financial Statements and Projections
The financial projections are shown in Fig 7.1 7.3 for projected operating (operations and maintenance) and capital expenditure (renewal and upgrade/expansion/new assets). Note that all costs are shown in real values.
Figure 7.1: Projected Operating and Capital Expenditure and Budget (Scenario 1 - from Asset Register)
As discussed in Section 5.4 the expenditure projection (forecast) in Scenario 1 (Using the asset/valuation register) is not consistent with the required works program or the long term financial plan, and is indicative of the continuing work required to improve the asset register.
- 38 -
Figure 7.2: Projected Operating and Capital Expenditure and Budget (Scenario 2 Roads with remaining useful lives of less than ten years)
The Scenario 2 renewal requirements are based on the renewal costs of roads with remaining useful lives of less than ten years. This level of funding is not currently being achieved, and indicates a future reduction in services levels and increased risk.
- 39 -
Figure 7.3: Projected Operating and Capital Expenditure and Budget (Scenario 3 Balanced with Long Term Financial Plan)
The first 10 years of Scenario 3 have been balanced with the funding available. In practice to achieve this infrastructure renewal projects will be deferred. The detailed project implications and the service and risk consequences of this should form the basis of developing an advanced asset management plan. 6.1.1 Sustainability of service delivery
There are four key indicators for service delivery sustainability that have been considered in the analysis of the services provided by this asset category, these being the asset renewal funding ratio, long term life cycle costs/expenditures and medium term projected/budgeted expenditures over 5 and 10 years of the planning period. Asset Renewal Funding Ratio Asset Renewal Funding Ratio10 - 56% The Asset Renewal Funding Ratio is the most important indicator and reveals that over the next 10 years, the organisation is forecasting that it will have 56% of the funds required for the optimal renewal and replacement of its assets. (Scenario 2)

Long term - Life Cycle Cost Life cycle costs (or whole of life costs) are the average costs that are required to sustain the service levels over the asset life cycle. Life cycle costs include operations and maintenance expenditure and asset consumption (depreciation expense). The life cycle cost for the services covered in this asset management plan is $7.9M per year (average operations and maintenance expenditure plus depreciation expense projected over 10 years). Life cycle costs can be compared to life cycle expenditure to give an initial indicator of affordability of projected service levels when considered with age profiles. Life cycle expenditure includes operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditure. Life cycle expenditure will vary depending on the timing of asset renewals. The life cycle expenditure over the 10 year planning period is $ 8.8M per year (average operations and maintenance plus capital renewal budgeted expenditure in LTFP over 10 years). A shortfall between life cycle cost and life cycle expenditure is the life cycle gap. The life cycle gap for services covered by this asset management plan is $900K per year (-ve = gap, +ve = surplus). Life cycle expenditure is 112% of life cycle costs. The life cycle costs and life cycle expenditure comparison highlights any difference between present outlays and the average cost of providing the service over the long term. If the life cycle expenditure is less than that life cycle cost, it is most likely that outlays will need to be increased or cuts in services made in the future. Knowing the extent and timing of any required increase in outlays and the service consequences if funding is not available will assist organisations in providing services to their communities in a financially sustainable manner. This is the purpose of the asset management plans and long term financial plan. Medium term 10 year financial planning period This asset management plan identifies the projected operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditures required to provide an agreed level of service to the community over a 10 year period. This provides input into 10 year financial and funding plans aimed at providing the required services in a sustainable manner. These projected expenditures may be compared to budgeted expenditures in the 10 year period to identify any funding shortfall. In a core asset management plan, a gap is generally due to increasing asset renewals for ageing assets. The projected operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditure required over the 10 year planning period is $ 14.5M on average per year. Estimated (budget) operations, maintenance and capital renewal funding is $ 8.8M on average per year giving a 10 year funding shortfall of $5.7M per year. This indicates that Council expects to have 61% of the projected expenditures needed to provide the services documented in the asset management plan. (Scenario 2)
- 41 -
Medium Term 5 year financial planning period The projected operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditure required over the first 5 years of the planning period is $14.5M on average per year. Estimated (budget) operations, maintenance and capital renewal funding is $9M on average per year giving a 5 year funding shortfall of $5.5M This indicates that Council expects to have 62% of projected expenditures required to provide the services shown in this asset management plan.

Providing services from infrastructure in a sustainable manner requires the matching and managing of service levels, risks, projected expenditures and financing to achieve a financial indicator of approximately 1.0 for the first years of the asset management plan and ideally over the 10 year life of the Long Term Financial Plan. Figure 8.1-8.3 shows the projected asset renewal and replacement expenditure over the 20 years of the AM Plan. The projected asset renewal and replacement expenditure is compared to renewal and replacement expenditure in the capital works program, which is accommodated in the long term financial plan

Providing services in a sustainable manner will require matching of projected asset renewal and replacement expenditure to meet agreed service levels with capital works program accommodated in the long term financial plan. A gap between projected asset renewal/replacement expenditure and amounts accommodated in the LTFP indicates that further work is required on reviewing service levels in the AM Plan (including possibly revising the LTFP). This work forms part of the ongoing improvement of the asset management plan. In this asset management plan the extent of the gap is shown in the difference between Scenario 2 and Scenario 3. We will manage the gap by developing this asset management plan to provide guidance on future service levels and resources required to provide these services, and review future services, service levels and costs with the community. 6.1.2 Projected expenditures for long term financial plan
Table 6.1.2.S2 shows the projected expenditures for the 10 year long term financial plan based on the projected renewals for roads with remaining useful lives of less than 10years. (Scenario 2). Ongoing consideration of future funding is required as this expenditure is not funded and will result in the consequence of declining service levels and increasing risk. Expenditure projections are in 2012 real values.

Funding Strategy
After reviewing service levels, as appropriate to ensure ongoing financial sustainability projected expenditures identified in Section 6.1.2 will be accommodated in the organisations 10 year long term financial plan. 6.3 Valuation Forecasts
Asset values are forecast to increase as additional assets are added to the asset stock from construction and acquisition by the organisation and from assets constructed by land developers and others and donated to the organisation. Figure 9 shows the projected replacement cost asset values over the planning period in real values.
Figure 9: Projected Asset Values
- 51 -
Depreciation expense values are forecast in line with asset values as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10: Projected Depreciation Expense
The depreciated replacement cost will vary over the forecast period depending on the rates of addition of new assets, disposal of old assets and consumption and renewal of existing assets. Forecast of the assets depreciated replacement cost is shown in Figure 11. The depreciated replacement cost of contributed and new assets is shown in the darker colour and in the lighter colour for existing assets.

PLAN IMPROVEMENT AND MONITORING Status of Asset Management Practices Accounting and financial systems
Financial transactions are recorded in Councils corporate financial systems (currently Technology 1 Financials). The Finance Officers and Financial Accountants are responsible for operating the finance system. The Long Term Financial Plan also uses the life cycle program as a stand-alone asset management database for all infrastructure assets. Councils long term Financial Model demonstrates Councils financial position and its capacity to fund additional major capital expenditure, continued asset renewal and any potential increase in services or service levels. It has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Amendment (Planning and Reporting) Act 2009 and the associated guidelines and manual. It clearly shows that Council, with its current income, has no capacity to fund additional facilities or upgrades unless services or service levels are decreased, or additional funding sources are identified. This has particular relevance given that there is already a gap identified between planned road asset renewals and projected road asset renewals. Accounting standards and regulations The Local Government Act 1993 requires that Council prepare and maintain all accounting records, accounts and financial statements in accordance with all relevant Australian Accounting Standards. The following accounting standards and guidelines must be complied with: AASB 116 Property, Plant & Equipment prescribes requirements for recognition and depreciation of property, plant and equipment assets AASB 136 Impairment of Assets aims to ensure that assets are carried at amounts that are not in excess of their recoverable amounts AASB 1021 Depreciation of Non-Current Assets specifies how depreciation is to be calculated AAS 1001 Accounting Policies specifies the policies that Council is to have for recognition of assets and depreciation AASB 1041 Accounting for the reduction of Non-Current Assets specifies the frequency and basis of calculating depreciation and revaluation basis used for assets AAS 1015 Accounting for acquisition of assets method of allocating the value to new assets on acquisition AAS 27 Financial reporting by Local Government AAS 1010 Recoverable Amounts of Non-Current Assets specifies requirement to test the reasonableness of valuations

Capital threshold Asset Capitalisation Threshold - $10,000 Capitalisation thresholds are generally defined in dollar values for each asset class. Where the cost of an asset or a component is below the capitalisation threshold amount, the cost is expensed. The purpose of setting a threshold level is to minimise the expense and effort associated with maintaining records. Council has determined capitalisation thresholds for each class of assets. In determining these thresholds, consideration has been given to the nature of the asset and its estimated useful life.

Monitoring and Review Procedures
This asset management plan will be reviewed during annual budget planning processes and amended to recognise any material changes in service levels and/or resources available to provide those services as a result of budget decisions. The AM Plan will be updated annually to ensure it represents the current service level, asset values, projected operations, maintenance, capital renewal and replacement, capital upgrade/new and asset disposal expenditures and projected expenditure values incorporated into the Councils long term financial plan. The AM Plan has a life of 4 years (council election cycle) and is due for complete revision and update once the Asset Management Strategy is adopted.

Conclusion
From the calculation of the fair value for roads, the following table provides a summary of the condition of Councils roads as at 30 January 2013:
Condition Ex/ V Good Good Fair Poor/ V Poor Failed Totals
Rating 1 2 3 4 5
Replacement Cost 118,488,400 22,643,964 20,637,421 50,658,656 157,872,836 $ 370,301,276
Fair Value 114,797,319 20,055,157 16,397,224 26,226,816 50,105,781 $ 227,582,296

Budgeted Annual operating and renewal $ 8,791,000
Sustainability index
Gap
0.61
-$ 5,670
Consequently, Council must allocate an additional $5.7million to its road renewal and maintenance program to reduce the identified gap. Without the infrastructure levy, the gap will further increase to $ $8.3 million annually. As it is likely to be impractical for Council to provide the additional level of funding required, Council will need to be aware of the risks associated with providing a lower level of funding and therefore a lower level of service to the community. It is imperative that Council continue with the Infrastructure Levy funding in the short and in future years consider applying for a Section 508(A) special variation for all its assets to assist with providing additional funding for its roads and other assets.

Definitions
In this Policy: Defect means any form of failure in the road surface, including potholes, displaced pavement, cracking and road collapses. These types of failure can be structural and/or visual in nature. DN is the abbreviation for Defect Number. It means the number assigned to a road defect that is recorded in the Road Maintenance Database. It is based on the type of defect and the location category. Maintenance with respect to roads is defined to mean repairs to pavement failures. These repairs take the form of pothole patching to heavy patching. The purpose being to make the road trafficable until reconstruction works can be carried out. Pothole means a hole or bowl-shaped depression in the pavement surface. They are due to the disruption in the surface of a roadway where a portion of the road material has broken away, leaving a hole. Vpd is the abbreviation for Vehicles per day and refers to the number of vehicles travelling on the road pavement per day.
3.
Legislative Framework
Under the Roads Act 1993, the Council as the road authority is responsible for the care, maintenance and control of the public road. In 2001, the high court abolished the non-feasance provisions that previously applied to councils and road authorities. On 18 June 2002, the State government introduced the Civil Liabilities Act relating to the awarding of damages against Councils. This policy and associated procedures is developed to manage risk and allocate funding on a priority basis.

5. 1
Principles
Issues
The main concern with damaged roads that develop into pot holes is the danger that it presents to motorists and other users who use Councils roads. There is a need for Council to be pro-active and effect repairs particularly in busy streets where traffic and other uses are high.
Page 2 of 9 pages S07082/2011/205704
Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 The main causes why roads are damaged is due to the poor material in the subgrades, heavy traffic or cracking of the pavement surface. Also, damage to the roads can be caused by road openings and the difficulty in restoring the pavement back to a uniform surface. Council has a road network consisting of 472 (441) kilometres and approximately 180 (225) kilometres of the network is rated as poor or failed. While the current construction program has had increased funding since 2001 from the Infrastructure Levy and Council funding, approximately only 10 -12 kilometres of road work is carried out each year with this level of funding. In general terms, roads that are in poor condition, subject to continual traffic and not included in the program will require more attention than those roads that are in satisfactory condition and not subjected to continual traffic. Therefore, these roads will be inspected regularly whereas the roads considered to be in good condition and low traffic volumes will be patrolled infrequently.
6.
Implementation
Civil Works section is responsible for the implementation of this Policy and procedures. Details of procedures are set out in Road Maintenance Procedures as Attachment A. The stages of implementation is explained below and summed as follows: 6.1 Identification Evaluation Programming. Establish controls Treatments. Identification - Prioritisation of roads between 1 to 10 - Rating of roads and program Notification handling, response times,
There are three forms of identification methods: Inspections This method is applicable for road pavement and shoulders. It involves a survey of existing roads, which identifies pot holes or pavement failures in terms of the size of the pot hole or failure. The information is recorded in a database and as sections of road repairs are completed the database is updated. The Council
Page 3 of 9 pages S07082/2011/205704
Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 area is surveyed on a five yearly cycle to investigate for any pavement deterioration and audit the database. A formal drive through inspection on all unsatisfactory or failed roads is carried out every twelve months. Additionally, a dedicated pothole team also undertakes inspection and filling of potholes throughout the Council area in a 6 to 8 week cycle. The 5 Year Road Inspection Schedule is included in Attachment 3 of the Road Maintenance Procedures. Complaints/Requests from public When members of the public reports a pot hole or damaged section of road, the relevant Council Officer records the information in the Customer Request Management System. Any information relating to personal injuries or vehicle damage should be reported to Councils Insurance Officer with details of the location and cause of the incident. The requests are actioned as soon as possible to make the area safe until permanent repairs can be made. If there is an incident of personal injury or vehicle damage then a report is required on the cause of the damage and photographs of the section of road are taken. Authorised openings Both Public Utility Authorities and Tradespeople are required to carry out road openings from time to time when new cables are to be laid or connections are made to service mains. The person responsible is required to complete an application form including control of traffic during the work. Temporary restorations are to be carried out to make that area safe and the exact dimensions of the opening are advised to the Restorations and Driveways Engineer who will issue the order to the Depot or Councils contractor to carry out the permanent restoration work. Details of the permanent restoration work are covered in Councils specification. 6.2 Evaluation
The evaluation for roads relates to the risk management processes. The two main criteria for evaluation are severity of the road defect and the frequency of use which are explained below. The two criteria are used in a Matrix as shown in Table 1.0 to determine the priority of the repair to the pavement failure.
Page 4 of 9 pages S07082/2011/205704
Table 1.0 - Prioritisation of road & shoulder (#) failure Severity of the road Frequency of Use defect Cat A Cat B (>10,000 Vpd) (2,000 to 10,000 Vpd) S1 1 (1) 1 (1) S2 2 (3) 4 (5) S3 3 (4) 5 (6) S4 4 (5) 8 (9) Severity of the road defect
Cat C (<2,000 Vpd) 1 (1) 6 (7) 9 (10) 10 (10)
The severity categories are based on the extent of the pot hole or pavement failure. The four severity categories are: S1 S2 S3 S4 Emergency matters such as road collapses or deep potholes that present an immediate danger to the public. Pot holes greater than 300mm diameter and 100mm deep and not considered to be an immediate safety hazard. Potholes less than 300mm and less than 100mm deep. Pavement failures with displaced pavement and pavement cracking.
In terms of response: S1 S2 and S3 S4 Will require an immediate response from Council or may require the assistance of the SES for making the area safe Will require temporary measures and scheduled removal and replacement techniques Will be programmed depending on road classification and traffic conditions.
Frequency of use These categories are based on road classification and traffic volumes. The three frequency categories are: Cat A Cat B Cat C Regional Roads and local roads carrying in excess of 10,000 vpd Collector and local roads carrying traffic volumes between 2,000 and 10,000 vpd Local roads with traffic volumes less than 2,000 vpd

Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 6.3 Programming
Rating of road failure risk Following evaluation of the road failure, it is necessary to establish the risk of road failures to the user. Three levels are used (high, medium or low) to include in Councils database, with the following factors being considered when rating: What is the size of the pot hole or pavement failure? What is the likely cause? What is the frequency of the repair? What are the traffic conditions such as average road speeds? What is the steepness of the road? What is the lighting like? Is the failure located in the wheel track or shoulder area?
Priority 1 road failures are the ones likely to be of highest risk and rated high indicating the highest attention and action. Whereas, Priority 10 road failures are of lower rating and can be attended to at a later time after all other areas have been completed, subject to funds being available. Develop Program for road maintenance and repair A twelve monthly program is determined based on the rating, and reviewed every six months. The program is reviewed on a 6 monthly cycle due to updated data to account for the nature of the three methods explained in the identification process, to account for both the programmed inspections, ad-hoc customer service requests, and dynamic nature of road deterioration. Whilst the system allows for flexibility in the process, in order to react to pavement failures, controls are required to manage these. 6.4 Establish controls
Following the programming, it is necessary to establish control mechanisms for undertaking temporary maintenance for: dealing with high to low risk road failures. dealing with complaints from the public, service requests from staff and authorised openings.
It is intended that with a pro-active approach to repairing road failures, the amount of complaints and service requests will reduce. However, there needs
Page 6 of 9 pages S07082/2011/205704
Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 to be a sufficient amount of funds available each year to repair sites which have recorded complaints or service requests. Authorised openings These sites generally represent a potential danger and can be either made safe by the erection of barricades and lighting, or temporarily repaired until permanent repairs can be carried out. Authorised openings can be restored on a programmed basis and deposit funds are sufficient to cover the costs of restoration. Requirements for temporary restoration of authorised openings usually render the site safe until permanent repairs can be carried out. Notification handling With complaints from members of the public relating to notified road failures, the matter is usually reported in the following stages: to Councils Customer Service Section in the first instance, then forwarded to, The Civil Works Section for assessment. Councils Insurance Officer (if applicable), is then notified of the location and a report on the cause of the pavement failure, possibly including photographs of the site, provided.
Response times Complaints or Service Requests relating to Priority 1 to 2 sites should be made temporarily safe within 24 -48 hours using temporary materials or the erection of barricades until permanent repairs can be completed. For Priority 1 sites, information needs to be made available to the Depot or the Emergency response section as soon as possible so that the area can be made safe or road detours put in place. After hours assistance from the SES or the emergency call out person should be notified immediately the report is made known. For Priority 2 and 3, sites where there are high traffic volumes, the site should be made safe as soon as practicable and within 48 hours of notification. For Priority 4 to 6, sites should be made temporarily safe within 72 hours.
Page 7 of 9 pages S07082/2011/205704
Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 For Priority 7 to 10, sites consideration needs to be given whether action should be taken or programmed as resources permit. A summary of response times for complaints or service requests relating to road failures is shown in the table 2.0 below. Table 2.0 Site Priority 1 2 and 3 4, 5 and 6 7, 8 and 9 10 6.5 Treatment
Temporary repairs Permanent Repairs 24 hours 30 days 48 hours 180-365 days 72 hours 730-1460 days 1 6 weeks As resources permit As resources permit
Road collapses and emergencies road failures Where these situations occur, the road area is to be made safe by either barricading off the site or placing road detours to ensure traffic safety. The permanent repairs need to be carried out as soon as practical and within one week of the report of the failure where practical. Pot holes greater than 300mm diameter and 100mm deep Initially these may need to be temporarily repaired using cold mix or hot mix after cleaning out the pot hole of loose material. Permanent repairs will need to be programmed as soon as possible with excavation to extend to sound pavement areas and hot mix placed and compacted over the restored area. If the surrounding pavement or road has completely failed, then a program of temporary repairs will need to be programmed until the road is scheduled for reconstruction. Pot holes less than 300mm diameter and 100mm deep These road failures are to be temporarily repaired using hot mix after cleaning out the pot hole of loose material. Permanent repairs should only be programmed if it is likely that the area will deteriorate quickly due to traffic conditions.

Ku-ring-gai Council Road Maintenance and Repairs Policy and Procedure Reviewed September 2011 Deformed or cracked pavements Where the road pavement is deformed or cracking is present, temporary placement of hot mix over the deformed or cracked pavement may be necessary to prevent more accelerated deterioration. Public Utility Openings The trenches associated with utility openings are to be saw cut either side of the trench into sound material and 100mm wider for the asphalt surface. Where practical the trench should be wide enough for compaction equipment. The finished surface should be left slightly proud of the adjoining surface to allow for consolidation. For sites rated 1 to 4, inspections should be carried out within the first year to examine if any consolidation has occurred and further asphalt is required to ensure the road surface is level.

Annual service cost (ASC) 1) Reporting actual cost The annual (accrual) cost of providing a service including operations, maintenance, depreciation, finance/opportunity and disposal costs less revenue. 2) For investment analysis and budgeting An estimate of the cost that would be tendered, per annum, if tenders were called for the supply of a service to a performance specification for a fixed term. The Annual Service Cost includes operations, maintenance, depreciation, finance/ opportunity and disposal costs, less revenue. Asset A resource controlled by an entity as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity. Infrastructure assets are a subclass of property, plant and equipment which are non-current assets with a life greater than 12 months and enable services to be provided. Asset category Sub-group of assets within a class hierarchy for financial reporting and management purposes. Asset class A group of assets having a similar nature or function in the operations of an entity, and which, for purposes of disclosure, is shown as a single item without supplementary disclosure. Asset condition assessment The process of continuous or periodic inspection, assessment, measurement and interpretation of the resultant data to indicate the condition of a specific asset so as to determine the need for some preventative or remedial action. Asset hierarchy A framework for segmenting an asset base into appropriate classifications. The asset hierarchy can be based on asset function or asset type or a combination of the two. Asset management (AM) The combination of management, financial, economic, engineering and other practices applied to physical assets with the objective of providing the required level of service in the most cost effective manner.
Asset renewal funding ratio The ratio of the net present value of asset renewal funding accommodated over a 10 year period in a long term financial plan relative to the net present value of projected capital renewal expenditures identified in an asset management plan for the same period [AIFMG Financial Sustainability Indicator No 8]. Average annual asset consumption (AAAC)* The amount of an organisations asset base consumed during a reporting period (generally a year). This may be calculated by dividing the depreciable amount by the useful life (or total future economic benefits/service potential) and totalled for each and every asset OR by dividing the carrying amount (depreciated replacement cost) by the remaining useful life (or remaining future economic benefits/service potential) and totalled for each and every asset in an asset category or class. Borrowings A borrowing or loan is a contractual obligation of the borrowing entity to deliver cash or another financial asset to the lending entity over a specified period of time or at a specified point in time, to cover both the initial capital provided and the cost of the interest incurred for providing this capital. A borrowing or loan provides the means for the borrowing entity to finance outlays (typically physical assets) when it has insufficient funds of its own to do so, and for the lending entity to make a financial return, normally in the form of interest revenue, on the funding provided. Capital expenditure Relatively large (material) expenditure, which has benefits, expected to last for more than 12 months. Capital expenditure includes renewal, expansion and upgrade. Where capital projects involve a combination of renewal, expansion and/or upgrade expenditures, the total project cost needs to be allocated accordingly. Capital expenditure - expansion Expenditure that extends the capacity of an existing asset to provide benefits, at the same standard as is currently enjoyed by existing beneficiaries, to a new group of users. It is discretionary expenditure, which increases future operations and maintenance costs, because it increases the organisations asset base, but may be associated with additional revenue from the
- 69 -
new user group, e.g.. extending a drainage or road network, the provision of an oval or park in a new suburb for new residents. Capital expenditure - new Expenditure which creates a new asset providing a new service/output that did not exist beforehand. As it increases service potential it may impact revenue and will increase future operations and maintenance expenditure. Capital expenditure - renewal Expenditure on an existing asset or on replacing an existing asset, which returns the service capability of the asset up to that which it had originally. It is periodically required expenditure, relatively large (material) in value compared with the value of the components or sub-components of the asset being renewed. As it reinstates existing service potential, it generally has no impact on revenue, but may reduce future operations and maintenance expenditure if completed at the optimum time, e.g.. resurfacing or resheeting a material part of a road network, replacing a material section of a drainage network with pipes of the same capacity, resurfacing an oval. Capital expenditure - upgrade Expenditure, which enhances an existing asset to provide a higher level of service or expenditure that will increase the life of the asset beyond that which it had originally. Upgrade expenditure is discretionary and often does not result in additional revenue unless direct user charges apply. It will increase operations and maintenance expenditure in the future because of the increase in the organisations asset base, e.g.. widening the sealed area of an existing road, replacing drainage pipes with pipes of a greater capacity, enlarging a grandstand at a sporting facility. Capital funding Funding to pay for capital expenditure. Capital grants Monies received generally tied to the specific projects for which they are granted, which are often upgrade and/or expansion or new investment proposals. Capital investment expenditure See capital expenditure definition. Capitalisation threshold
The value of expenditure on non-current assets above which the expenditure is recognised as capital expenditure and below which the expenditure is charged as an expense in the year of acquisition. Carrying amount The amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any accumulated depreciation / amortisation and accumulated impairment losses thereon. Class of assets See asset class definition Component Specific parts of an asset having independent physical or functional identity and having specific attributes such as different life expectancy, maintenance regimes, risk or criticality. Core asset management Asset management which relies primarily on the use of an asset register, maintenance management systems, job resource management, inventory control, condition assessment, simple risk assessment and defined levels of service, in order to establish alternative treatment options and long-term cashflow predictions. Priorities are usually established on the basis of financial return gained by carrying out the work (rather than detailed risk analysis and optimised decision- making). Cost of an asset The amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction, including any costs necessary to place the asset into service. This includes one-off design and project management costs. Critical assets Assets for which the financial, business or service level consequences of failure are sufficiently severe to justify proactive inspection and rehabilitation. Critical assets have a lower threshold for action than noncritical assets. Current replacement cost (CRC) The cost the entity would incur to acquire the asset on the reporting date. The cost is measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross future economic benefits could be obtained in the normal course of business or the minimum it would cost, to
- 70 -
replace the existing asset with a technologically modern equivalent new asset (not a second hand one) with the same economic benefits (gross service potential) allowing for any differences in the quantity and quality of output and in operating costs. Deferred maintenance The shortfall in rehabilitation work undertaken relative to that required to maintain the service potential of an asset. Depreciable amount The cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for its cost, less its residual value. Depreciated replacement cost (DRC) The current replacement cost (CRC) of an asset less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset. Depreciation / amortisation The systematic allocation of the depreciable amount (service potential) of an asset over its useful life. Economic life See useful life definition. Expenditure The spending of money on goods and services. Expenditure includes recurrent and capital outlays. Fair value The amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties, in an arms length transaction. Financing gap A financing gap exists whenever an entity has insufficient capacity to finance asset renewal and other expenditure necessary to be able to appropriately maintain the range and level of services its existing asset stock was originally designed and intended to deliver. The service capability of the existing asset stock should be determined assuming no additional operating revenue, productivity improvements, or net financial liabilities above levels currently planned or projected. A current financing gap means service levels have already or are currently falling. A projected financing gap if not addressed
will result in a future diminution of existing service levels. Heritage asset An asset with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geographical or environmental qualities that is held and maintained principally for its contribution to knowledge and culture and this purpose is central to the objectives of the entity holding it. Impairment Loss The amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Infrastructure assets Physical assets that contribute to meeting the needs of organisations or the need for access to major economic and social facilities and services, e.g.. roads, drainage, footpaths and cycleways. These are typically large, interconnected networks or portfolios of composite assets. The components of these assets may be separately maintained, renewed or replaced individually so that the required level and standard of service from the network of assets is continuously sustained. Generally the components and hence the assets have long lives. They are fixed in place and are often have no separate market value. Investment property Property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for: (a) use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or (b) sale in the ordinary course of business. Key performance indicator A qualitative or quantitative measure of a service or activity used to compare actual performance against a standard or other target. Performance indicators commonly relate to statutory limits, safety, responsiveness, cost, comfort, asset performance, reliability, efficiency, environmental protection and customer satisfaction. Level of service The defined service quality for a particular service/activity against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental impact, acceptability and cost.

Life Cycle Cost * 1. Total LCC The total cost of an asset throughout its life including planning, design, construction, acquisition, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation and disposal costs. 2. Average LCC The life cycle cost (LCC) is average cost to provide the service over the longest asset life cycle. It comprises average operations, maintenance expenditure plus asset consumption expense, represented by depreciation expense projected over 10 years. The Life Cycle Cost does not indicate the funds required to provide the service in a particular year. Life Cycle Expenditure The Life Cycle Expenditure (LCE) is the average operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditure accommodated in the long term financial plan over 10 years. Life Cycle Expenditure may be compared to average Life Cycle Cost to give an initial indicator of affordability of projected service levels when considered with asset age profiles. Loans / borrowings See borrowings. Maintenance All actions necessary for retaining an asset as near as practicable to an appropriate service condition, including regular ongoing day-to-day work necessary to keep assets operating, e.g. road patching but excluding rehabilitation or renewal. It is operating expenditure required to ensure that the asset reaches its expected useful life. Planned maintenance Repair work that is identified and managed through a maintenance management system (MMS). MMS activities include inspection, assessing the condition against failure/breakdown criteria/experience, prioritising scheduling, actioning the work and reporting what was done to develop a maintenance history and improve maintenance and service delivery performance. Reactive maintenance Unplanned repair work that is carried out in response to service requests and management/ supervisory directions. Specific maintenance Maintenance work to repair components or replace subcomponents that needs to be identified
as a specific maintenance item in the maintenance budget. Unplanned maintenance Corrective work required in the shortterm to restore an asset to working condition so it can continue to deliver the required service or to maintain its level of security and integrity.
Maintenance expenditure * Recurrent expenditure, which is periodically or regularly required as part of the anticipated schedule of works required to ensure that the asset achieves its useful life and provides the required level of service. It is expenditure, which was anticipated in determining the assets useful life. Materiality The notion of materiality guides the margin of error acceptable, the degree of precision required and the extent of the disclosure required when preparing general purpose financial reports. Information is material if its omission, misstatement or nondisclosure has the potential, individually or collectively, to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report or affect the discharge of accountability by the management or governing body of the entity. Modern equivalent asset Assets that replicate what is in existence with the most cost-effective asset performing the same level of service. It is the most cost efficient, currently available asset which will provide the same stream of services as the existing asset is capable of producing. It allows for technology changes and, improvements and efficiencies in production and installation techniques Net present value (NPV) The value to the organisation of the cash flows associated with an asset, liability, activity or event calculated using a discount rate to reflect the time value of money. It is the net amount of discounted total cash inflows after deducting the value of the discounted total cash outflows arising from e.g. the continued use and subsequent disposal of the asset after deducting the value of the discounted total cash outflows.
Non-revenue generating investments Investments for the provision of goods and services to sustain or improve services to
- 72 -
the community that are not expected to generate any savings or revenue to the Council, e.g.. parks and playgrounds, footpaths, roads and bridges, libraries, etc. Operations Regular activities to provide services such as public health, safety and amenity, e.g. street sweeping, grass mowing and street lighting. Operating expenditure Recurrent expenditure, which is continuously required to provide a service. In common use the term typically includes, e.g. power, fuel, staff, plant equipment, oncosts and overheads but excludes maintenance and depreciation. Maintenance and depreciation is on the other hand included in operating expenses. Operating expense The gross outflow of economic benefits, being cash and non cash items, during the period arising in the course of ordinary activities of an entity when those outflows result in decreases in equity, other than decreases relating to distributions to equity participants. Operating expenses Recurrent expenses continuously required to provide a service, including power, fuel, staff, plant equipment, maintenance, depreciation, on-costs and overheads. Operations, maintenance and renewal financing ratio Ratio of estimated budget to projected expenditure for operations, maintenance and renewal of assets over a defined time (e.g. 5, 10 and 15 years). Operations, maintenance and renewal gap Difference between budgeted expenditures in a long term financial plan (or estimated future budgets in absence of a long term financial plan) and projected expenditures for operations, maintenance and renewal of assets to achieve/maintain specified service levels, totalled over a defined time (e.g. 5, 10 and 15 years). Pavement management system (PMS) A systematic process for measuring and predicting the condition of road pavements and wearing surfaces over time and recommending corrective actions. PMS Score
A measure of condition of a road segment determined from a Pavement Management System. Rate of annual asset consumption * The ratio of annual asset consumption relative to the depreciable amount of the assets. It measures the amount of the consumable parts of assets that are consumed in a period (depreciation) expressed as a percentage of the depreciable amount. Rate of annual asset renewal * The ratio of asset renewal and replacement expenditure relative to depreciable amount for a period. It measures whether assets are being replaced at the rate they are wearing out with capital renewal expenditure expressed as a percentage of depreciable amount (capital renewal expenditure/DA). Rate of annual asset upgrade/new * A measure of the rate at which assets are being upgraded and expanded per annum with capital upgrade/new expenditure expressed as a percentage of depreciable amount (capital upgrade/expansion expenditure/DA). Recoverable amount The higher of an asset's fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use. Recurrent expenditure Relatively small (immaterial) expenditure or that which has benefits expected to last less than 12 months. Recurrent expenditure includes operations and maintenance expenditure. Recurrent funding Funding to pay for recurrent expenditure. Rehabilitation See capital renewal expenditure definition above. Remaining useful life The time remaining until an asset ceases to provide the required service level or economic usefulness. Age plus remaining useful life is useful life.
Renewal See capital renewal expenditure definition above.
- 73 -
Residual value The estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. Revenue generating investments Investments for the provision of goods and services to sustain or improve services to the community that are expected to generate some savings or revenue to offset operating costs, e.g. public halls and theatres, childcare centres, sporting and recreation facilities, tourist information centres, etc. Risk management The application of a formal process to the range of possible values relating to key factors associated with a risk in order to determine the resultant ranges of outcomes and their probability of occurrence. Section or segment A self-contained part or piece of an infrastructure asset. Service potential The total future service capacity of an asset. It is normally determined by reference to the operating capacity and economic life of an asset. A measure of service potential is used in the not-for-profit sector/public sector to value assets, particularly those not producing a cash flow. Service potential remaining A measure of the future economic benefits remaining in assets. It may be expressed in dollar values (Fair Value) or as a percentage of total anticipated future economic benefits. It is also a measure of the percentage of the assets potential to provide services that is still available for use in providing services (Depreciated Replacement Cost/Depreciable Amount). Specific Maintenance Replacement of higher value components/sub-components of assets that is undertaken on a regular cycle including repainting, replacement of air conditioning equipment, etc. This work generally falls below the capital/ maintenance threshold and needs to be identified in a specific maintenance budget allocation. Strategic Longer-Term Plan
A plan covering the term of office of councillors (4 years minimum) reflecting the needs of the community for the foreseeable future. It brings together the detailed requirements in the Councils longer-term plans such as the asset management plan and the long-term financial plan. The plan is prepared in consultation with the community and details where the Council is at that point in time, where it wants to go, how it is going to get there, mechanisms for monitoring the achievement of the outcomes and how the plan will be resourced. Sub-component Smaller individual parts that make up a component part. Useful life Either: (a) the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity, or (b) the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by the entity. It is estimated or expected time between placing the asset into service and removing it from service, or the estimated period of time over which the future economic benefits embodied in a depreciable asset, are expected to be consumed by the Council. Value in Use The present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash generating unit. It is deemed to be depreciated replacement cost (DRC) for those assets whose future economic benefits are not primarily dependent on the asset's ability to generate net cash inflows, where the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits.
