The Council needs to annually review its Corporate Capital Strategy, as part of its suite of corporate policies within the Policy Framework, in order to inform decisions on spending priorities within the 4-year Capital Plan Budget.

Reason for inclusion in Forward Plan: Both the Corporate Capital Strategy and the Asset Management Plan will assist with the decision making processes of the Council.

Key Risks: Without this document the Council would not be able to demonstrate a corporate and cohesive approach to capital investment across all services. Failure to adopt the revised Asset Management Plan will leave the Council without an up to date plan and without the ability to demonstrate a strategic approach to asset management. The new plan contains specific proposals for dealing with a wide range of issues such as the suitability of assets, efficient use of resources and backlog maintenance.
