The use of existing facilities should be optimised to provide ratepayers with a value for money service. Options to dispose of certain assets or consolidate, co-locate services and/or user groups will be explored to reduce demand on Council’s limited resources and funds.

A building asset should be retained where it supports the delivery of Council’s core services. If Council has a particular asset that is more aligned to the responsibility (and means) of another tier of government, the private sector or a particular community group, then opportunities to transfer the responsibility (and/or the asset) to the relevant entity will be considered.

Assets that are in a poor condition and/or unsafe will be demolished and not replaced if there is no demonstrated ongoing need

Where an asset with a high condition rating is required and the asset is not approaching the end of useful life, intervention (repair and part renewal) is preferred instead of complete replacement

For assets requiring renewal with a value greater than $100,000, an evaluation and whole of life cost benefit analysis may be undertaken to determine whether an intervention option or full replacement is the most cost effective measure, when works are being considered for the Annual Business Plan and Budget.

Table 4 Demand Factors, Projections and Impact on Services

Demand factor Present position Projection Impact on services

Population Growth

14,086

2

Increase 1.5% to 2% each year continuously.

Expansion of residential area generally located to west of existing development.

Increased runoff into existing developed areas, increasing pressure on existing stormwater systems. Additional community

infrastructure may be required, including pedestrian and bicycle pathway linkage between new residential areas and existing infrastructure Increase in demand for transport assets, particularly distributor roads which will, in turn, increase maintenance costs

Demographics Even distribution of ages Increasing ageing population, attracted by additional facilities available in Port Lincoln, particularly with hospital upgrades

Provision for more footpaths & “gopher” friendly trails

Climate Change Developing awareness in community and professions.

Less frequent, more intensive rainfall. Increased temperatures

Reduction in stormwater system capacity.

Coastal revetments may be affected

Road surfaces may be impacted Environmental

Awareness and Legislation

Awareness in community increasing

Increased public awareness and increased legislation regarding stormwater pollution.

Increased utilities expenses incurred

Improved pollution control measures required to be implemented.

Community buildings may require energy efficiency installations (eg solar panels) Limited pollution control

devices.

Economic Climate

Strong aquaculture and agriculture industries with freight route dissecting the City

Increased activity to main wharf should ore from mining activity be

exported/transported from Port Lincoln

Higher maintenance costs, potential diversion of other traffic, increased rail use

Tourism Regional growth due to availability of Sealink ferry and Cruise Ship visits

Increase in visitors to the area,

particularly self contained motor homes Development of Cruise Ships as a new tourism industry for the State, with Port Lincoln identified as a key destination..

Additional CBD parking requirements for large vehicles Improved tourism and visitor information services. Urban

Consolidation/ Development

Large undeveloped blocks of land

As economy improves, increased subdivision of land into residential and light industrial lots

Development of new Transport assets to be transferred to Council for ongoing maintenance
