Lachlan Shire Asset Management Plans – Community Survey

Council manages a network of infrastructure assets that service the community. The majority of these assets relate to roads, footpaths/cycleways, stormwater drainage, open spaces and recreation assets and community-use buildings.

To support the effective management of these assets, Council has developed a set of draft Asset Management Plans. 

The goal of asset management is to meet a required level of service in the most cost-effective manner, through the management of assets for present and future users.

While everyone would like to have better roads, cheaper water and sewer, greater attractions and higher quality sports grounds – the question is, how do we pay for this infrastructure?

This public consultation process offers the community an opportunity to "Have your Say" on the level of service that Council is able to provide.

All feedback should be submitted by 4:30pm on Wednesday 17 May 2023.
