PURPOSE OF REPORT:<br />
To list Capital and Non-Capital projects which relate to the Infrastructure Parks service area<br />
and are proposed for inclusion in the 2012/2013 Draft Budget.<br />
BACKGROUND:<br />
The <strong>Town</strong>'s Infrastructure Parks service area currently manages 474 hectares <strong>of</strong> Parks,<br />
Sportsgrounds and landscaped Road Reserves (excluding the Wembley Golf Course). To<br />
manage the various assets, facilities and landscaping components within these areas to<br />
appropriate safety and quality standards, individual asset management programmes/plans<br />
have been developed. These programmes list every asset within the Infrastructure Parks<br />
service area which are prioritised (according to their condition) and are allocated a cost<br />
estimate for budgeting purposes when they need to be upgraded or replaced.<br />
In addition, there is the Lake Monger Reserve Management Plan 2008-2018, the Perry Lakes<br />
Reserve Environmental Management Plan 2001, the Coastal Natural Areas Management Plan<br />
2006-2010 and associated implementation programmes which guide the management and<br />
improvement <strong>of</strong> these reserves.<br />
<strong>Council</strong> has previously endorsed all <strong>of</strong> these management and implementation programmes in<br />
previous <strong>Council</strong> reports. The Administration updates the programs annually to identify<br />
completed projects and proposed projects to be funded. The annual review <strong>of</strong> the programmes<br />
has been completed and a summarised version <strong>of</strong> these programmes is included in the report<br />
attachment.<br />
