Draft Asset Management Plan open for community feedback

Published on 17 July 2025

West Wimmera Shire Council is inviting the community to provide feedback on its updated Asset Management Plan, which sets the direction for how Council will manage and maintain its infrastructure over the next 10 years.

The plan outlines Council’s approach to maintaining, renewing, upgrading, and, where necessary, decommissioning assets across the shire.

This includes roads, buildings, open spaces, and other essential infrastructure used by residents, businesses, and visitors.

Originally adopted in 2022, the plan has been reviewed and updated with the latest data, including asset valuations, condition assessments, customer satisfaction survey results, and modelling of future renewal needs.

West Wimmera Shire Council Chief Executive Officer David Bezuidenhout said the Asset Management Plan played a vital role in supporting long-term sustainability and delivering services to the community.

“This plan ensures we are managing community assets in a responsible and cost-effective way,” he said.

“It helps us make informed decisions about when and how to maintain or upgrade infrastructure, so that we can meet current needs and plan effectively for the future.”

Community members are encouraged to read the draft plan and share their feedback.

The consultation period is open until 5pm on Friday, 29 August 2025. Feedback can be emailed to council@westwimmera.vic.gov.au.
