Council beats asset renewal target
|
Mayor Tony Wellington says Council has delivered the bulk of its record $28.9 million 2017/18 capital program as predicted in the budget.
“Noosa Council’s investment in the renewal and replacement of community infrastructure such as roads, bridges and facilities is streets ahead of many other local governments,” the Mayor said.
“Although the recommended target for asset sustainability is 90%, Noosa Council managed to achieve a ratio of 117% over the last financial year."
The Asset Sustainability Ratio measures the expenditure on the replacement of assets against Council’s annual depreciation expense. It demonstrates the extent to which assets are being replaced as they reach the end of their useful life. Read more.

The agreement with the State Government will see four-hour parking come into effect in the carpark at the end of Park Road, as well as at the Laguna Lookout, Mt Tinbeerwah and Wooroi Day Use Area carparks.
The four-hour limit will ensure a more frequent turn-over of spaces. Read more.
