Council has prepared a draft Building Management Plan 2026-2030 and is seeking community feedback on it before it is adopted.

Hindmarsh Shire Council is responsible for managing approximately 250 buildings with a combined replacement value exceeding $106 million. These buildings support a wide range of community, recreational, tourism, governance and operational services across the municipality.

What is the purpose of this Plan?

The Building Management Plan 2026-2030 establishes a structured framework for inspecting, maintaining, repairing, and renewing Council-owned buildings. The Plan adopts a lifecycle asset management approach, ensuring buildings remain safe, functional, and fit for purpose while balancing available financial resources.

Key features of the Plan include:

  • A transparent, risk-based inspection and maintenance program based on building use and hierarchy.
  • Defined inspection standards, frequencies and maintenance response times to guide maintenance, renewal, upgrade and disposal decisions.
  • Recording and risk assessment of identified defects through Council's maintenance management system.
  • Immediate management of high-risk defects through temporary measures such as barriers, isolation or closure until permanent repairs are completed.
  • The Plan prioritises maintenance and renewal of existing buildings to ensure ongoing service delivery and community safety. As Council's budget cannot accommodate all maintenance needs, works will be prioritised according to available funding, asset condition, defect severity and risk.
