City of Stirling Parks and Open Space Asset Managment Plan

Critical risks are those assessed with ‘extreme’ (requiring immediate corrective action) and ‘high’ (requiring corrective action) risk ratings identified in the Infrastructure Risk Management Plan. The residual risk and treatment cost after the selected treatment plan is implemented is shown in the following Table 6.2. These risks are reported to management and Council.

Table 6.2 Critical risks and treatment plans

*Note The residual risk is the risk remaining after the selected risk treatment plan is operational. The risk assessment process compares the likelihood of a risk event occurring against the consequences of the event occurring. In the risk rating table below, a risk event with a likelihood of ‘possible’ and a consequence of ‘major’ has a risk rating of ‘high’.
