On 13 October 2025, the Whitehorse Asset Plan 2025-2035 was adopted by Council.
The Asset Plan ( PDF 1.03MB) is a key corporate document that informs the local community about how Council intends to manage its $2.412 billion infrastructure asset portfolio.
The Plan, with a focus of over 10 years, provides an outlook of how Council plans to manage the community assets it owns or controls.
Purpose of the Plan
The purpose of the Asset Plan is to:
- Spell out the guiding principles and priorities for asset provision in Whitehorse.
- Examine the current condition and levels of service of existing assets, the future challenges and opportunities facing these assets, and identify any gaps in Council’s asset portfolio.
- Identify opportunities to deliver improved financial sustainability while providing the required level of service.
- Ensure that our assets support the themes and objectives in our Whitehorse 2040 Community Vision and Whitehorse Integrated Council Plan.
- Better inform the community on the assets under our custodianship, service levels and standards and financial capacity.
- Improve the effectiveness of asset management planning through a more engaged community.
- Embed asset management planning outcomes into our Integrated Strategic Planning and Reporting Framework.
- Encourages shared and multi-purpose use of assets to enhance efficiency and reduce unnecessary duplication.

Community Consultation
This Asset Plan along with our Community Vision and Council Plan has been developed with input from our community via detailed deliberative engagement processes.
Shaping Whitehorse is Council's engagement program designed to give the Whitehorse community and Council stakeholders the opportunity to provide input to the development of Council's key strategic documents. It's the mechanism in which local priorities and needs of the community are heard and reflected across the strategic plans.
The Plan also includes a set of guiding principles and decision making framework for Council to use when making future financial and asset management decisions for the Whitehorse community.
