City of Stirling Transport Asset Managment Plan

5.2 Routine maintenance plan Routine maintenance is the regular ongoing work that is necessary to keep assets operating, including instances where portions of an asset fail and need immediate repair to make the asset operational again. The intervention level defines the condition, state or risk level associated with an asset component, ie, the point in time at which the asset is considered to be below an acceptable level of service. Maintenance is scheduled as soon as the asset reaches this point. Response time defines a reasonable time frame within which the residents can expect the City to remedy the defect. This will vary depending on the hierarchy of the asset and the severity of the defect.

5.2.1 Maintenance plan Maintenance includes reactive and planned maintenance work activities. Reactive maintenance refers to unplanned repair work carried out either in response to customer requests or as a result of management /supervisory directions. Planned maintenance is repair work that is identified and managed through a proactive inspection schedule. The proactive inspection involves assessing the condition of the asset against documented level-of-service criteria and prioritising, scheduling and actioning the work to be undertaken within documented time frames.

Further development of the City’s maintenance management system is required. It is envisaged that within the next three years, all planned and reactive work will be entered and generated from within the maintenance management system. This will enable the City to produce reports indicating how many defects have been identified and rectified within the nominated response times, to allow the improvement of our maintenance and service delivery performance. Planned and reactive maintenance expenditure since 2012/13 is shown in Table 5.7.

Table 5.7 Maintenance expenditure for transport assets

The City uses a customer request management system to manage the collection and response to reactive maintenance issues.

Maintenance expenditure levels are considered to be adequate to meet current service levels being delivered. Future revision of this TAMP will include linking required maintenance expenditures with required service levels, while also ensuring that additional maintenance funds are allowed for in the financial statements for additional assets which are annually created or gifted to the City.
