We manage and maintain public infrastructure that is worth approximately $293.7 million. These community assets range from significant structures such as roads and buildings through to park furniture and play equipment.
Our Asset Plan 2025-2035 represents one of the keystones in the ways we manage our communities' assets, defining high-level strategic priorities, and addressing the lifecycle management of assets, while our Road Management Plan 2025 outlines management of municipal roads across Alpine Shire.
Road Management Plan suspension
Council has temporarily suspended specific elements of its Road Management Plan (RMP) relating to roadside vegetation overhead clearance on Category 1 and Category 2 roads.
The Alpine Shire Road Management Plan (2025) was adopted by Council in May 2025. Following implementation, Council has identified that some inspection frequencies, clearance requirements and response timeframes within the Plan are not achievable with current resources and available funding.
In accordance with Section 2.6.1 of the Alpine Shire Road Management Plan and Section 83 of the Wrongs Act 1958, the Chief Executive Officer has approved a temporary suspension of:
- Defect inspections for roadside vegetation overhead clearance on Category 1 and Category 2 roads (Attachment 5: Inspection Frequencies).
- Defect intervention levels and repair timeframes for roadside vegetation overhead clearance on Category 1 and Category 2 roads (Attachment 6: Intervention Levels).
The temporary suspension will remain in place until December 2026.
During the suspension period, Council will undertake a review of the Road Management Plan and prepare proposed amendments. The revised Plan will be released for community consultation before being presented to Council for consideration and adoption.
