In June 2023 the City of Charles Sturt undertook a targeted Community Infrastructure Survey prior to developing this AMP. A total of 620 people responded to the Community infrastructure Survey. 93% of respondents were residents and 7% of respondents were visitors. The survey outcomes assisted Council to adjust the levels of service and better understand the respondent’s priorities.

Water Assets are all Council owned stormwater and alternative water assets that have a primary function of facilitating the movement and treatment of water within our city and assets that contain water for amenity and biodiversity purposes.

For simplicity, Water Assets can be categorised by three (3) key functions seen below:

This AMP aims to keep all Water Assets at a serviceable condition. Due to the nature of these assets and their ability to still effectively function, even in a relatively poor condition, the current service level for condition-based renewal or replacement of these assets is modelled at condition 4. Where reasonably feasible, the City of Charles Sturt maintains and renews assets and installs new assets consistent with the objectives and actions of endorsed corporate documents (strategic plans/Community Vision).
