Capital Works Program

Infrastructure1.jpg

Each financial year, as part of council's budget process, major works and projects are determined for the coming 12 months. These works and projects are called the "capital works program."

As part of the capital works, council details a list of infrastructure maintenance, improvements and projects called the "infrastructure program" which can be viewed in the Infrastructure Program document or via council's interactive mapping system. 

Infrastructure Program

Delivery of major works designed to renew or upgrade long life road infrastructure including bridges, kerb and channel, footpaths, and drainage. 

Renewal programs are developed using asset management principles to treat assets before failure. If council’s asset base is to service the community into the future, the renewal of these assets is vital. 

Upgrade programs are designed to increase the safety, functionality and efficiency of the existing network while reducing risk to the public. 

The program is funded from varying sources including Federal Government grants, State Government grants, individual/business contributions, and council’s rate subsidy.
