The 2013 National State of the Assets Report was launched at ALGA’s National Local Roads and Transport Congress on 13 November 2013. The report is based on data provided by 183 urban councils and 161 rural councils, covering $98.3bn in assets under management.
The report found that while councils indicated that the majority of concrete bridges are in good condition, there are a large proportion of timer bridges in a poor or very poor state. In total, $1.4bn in concrete and timber bridges are in a poor/very poor condition. Further details are contained in the report on the state of the sealed and unsealed roads, as well as more work to be done on asset management, among other things.
