Marlborough District Council Roading Assets - Activity Management Plan 2015 - 2018 SECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY time as a result of un-forecast demand (generally from the viticulture growth or forestry harvesting) and which have been addressed and endorsed by Council in the last five years. These changes were/have been initiated by demand (growth and public request) and are as follows: An increase in expenditure for maintaining new, additional, sealed roads to maintain the level of service that current demand requires. An increase in expenditure for maintaining gravel roads to fund the level of service that increased demand requires. An increase in expenditure for seal extensions to fund the level of service that current demand requires. An increase in expenditure for structural bridge renewals to meet the level of service that current and future demand requires. This is to be offset slightly by a decrease in the maintenance and capital categories. An increase in expenditure for structural wharf renewal to fund the level of service that current and future demand requires. An increase in expenditure for traffic services to fund the higher level of service for delineation and line marking. An increase in expenditure to construct new cycle lanes and cycle paths that the community has requested. An increase in expenditure to renew footpaths and maintain the desired level of service that the community expects. An increase in expenditure to renew vehicle crossings of verges in urban areas that has not been adequately funded in the past. An increase in street cleaning activities in urban areas to fund the higher level of service the community is expecting. An increase in expenditure for street lighting to fund upgrades and renewals to maintain the level of service that current demand requires. An increase in expenditure for street furniture renewals to maintain the current level of service. Section 6 details how the gaps from the current to the required levels of service will be met on an activity by activity basis. Considering all of these issues it is intended that the following levels of service as set out below will generally apply during the life of this Activity Management Plan. The target levels of service have been determined after taking into account the community expectations, Council’s directional documents (eg. LTP), and statutory obligations with the Baseline the minimum level to be acheived.
