Hume council has adopted its Asset Plan for 2025, after receiving no responses to its community consultation on the plan.
Developed in conjunction with the Financial Plan, the plan details the assets that council owns and manages.
Both plans provide a long-term view of the resources that will be made available, and how they will be allocated, over the next 10 years.
The plan was adopted at the 13 October council meeting.
“The asset plan includes information about the acquisition of new assets, expansion, upgrading and maintenance of existing assets as well as renewal or disposal of old assets,” Cr Ally Watson said.
“It’s specifically targeted at infrastructure assets under council’s control and has a forward focus … with an outlook period of the next 10 financial years.”
Cr Watson said the plan went out for community consultation in August, however no feedback was received, barring two Facebook comments that were deemed irrelevant.
Cr Carly Moore said it was disappointing to hear.
“It is disappointing that we did only get two comments and that none of them were relevant to the Asset Plan,” she said.
“For anybody who’s listening from home, I would encourage you to have a look at this because it is a really important document and I think our community should be aware of how we plan to manage their assets and to be able to have a say.”
The Asset Plan is available now on council’s website.
