Strategic Asset Management Plan

The management of Council’s assets is documented through the suite of asset management documents - Asset Management Policy, Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) and Asset Management Plans (AMP).

The purpose of the SAMP is to establish the structure for detailed planning and improvements, processes and structures, which will support long-term asset management well into the future.

The Asset Management Plan (AMP) details information for each of Council’s asset classes in accordance with the documented framework in the Asset Management Policy. The SAMP is a summary of the information collated from the AMP.

Council is the custodian of infrastructure totalling over $1 Billion of noncurrent assets such as roads, footpaths, buildings, drainage, seawalls, surf clubs, jetties fleet, holiday parks and information technology and so on.

The SAMP 2023 to 2033 will be used to achieve Council's community objectives documented in the Community Strategic Plan primarily under Focus Area – Our Place.

Port Stephens Council has prepared this Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) in accordance with the State Government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework requirements.
