4.2 Applying the Principles of Levels of Service<br />
4.2.1 Setting the Level of Service<br />
The setting of the level of service is a key aspect of the TAMP and will influence the outputs from the<br />
plan. It is important therefore that decisions taken are robust and consistent with the policies and<br />
objectives of the <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
The concept of “Levels of Service” is not new however; historically it has been set solely on<br />
engineering and financial criteria. Based on the current definition the setting of appropriate Levels of<br />
Service will be an iterative process based on experience, engineering criteria, customer expectations,<br />
financial considerations and demand aspirations.<br />
4.2.2 Establishing the Desired Level of Service<br />
Before we can determine the desired Level of Service to provide it will be necessary to determine the<br />
Level of Service we are currently providing for each asset type. The flow chart below indicates our<br />
proposed methodology in determining the appropriate Level of Service.<br />
