National State of Assets Report 2021  

The National State of the Assets Report (NSoA) is commissioned by the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) to monitor and assess how local government is addressing the challenges in maintaining their infrastructure assets. The technical report applies an evidenced-based approach to identify opportunities that strengthen local government’s ability to effectively manage its non-financial (fixed) infrastructure assets. It is based on the survey data collected from Councils on three infrastructure performance indicators measuring condition, function and the capacity of their assets including roads, bridges, buildings and facilities, parks and recreation, stormwater, water and waste water and airports and aerodromes. The NSoA report is available at alga.com.au.
