Doncaster’s Corporate Asset Management Plan 2006/07 to 2009/10 outlines the property context for the Borough of Doncaster and the Council’s Asset Management function within its corporate priorities and strategic goals. It aims to ensure that the council’s focus is on actions and outcomes that will maximise value for money whilst effectively supporting improved service delivery and customer satisfaction. The corporate asset objectives will:
Ensure the efficient, effective and sustainable use of land and property to meet the key objectives and vision of the Borough Strategy
Maximise the contribution of land and property assets to deliver the Authority’s Corporate Plan
Generate capital receipts to support the Authority’s Medium Term Financial Strategy
Maximise the contribution of land and property assets to deliver solutions that promote the regeneration of the town, reflecting the benefits of partnership working to produce excellent facilities for the people of Doncaster
Provide innovative accommodation solutions which meet the service needs of all stakeholders whilst contributing to the process of service improvement
Minimise the opportunity cost of holding land and property whilst optimising the value of the Authority’s asset base
Manage and maintain assets to deliver improved sustainability, reduced CO2 emissions and energy consumption
Through the strategic use of its property assets the council aims to achieve improved customer and stakeholder satisfaction, improved affordability, compliance with regulatory and statutory codes, improved corporate management, environmental improvements and enhanced joint and partnership working arrangements.
The Corporate Asset Management Plan outlines how the council intends to achieve its corporate asset objectives and expected outcomes through an overview of how we respond to external and internal pressures; government and statutory requirements, the property market in the Borough, the procurement route for consultancy services, e-government property related issues and how we gather and review our property data. It clarifies our core accommodation plan, our corporate property data management systems, the quality of our portfolio and property performance indicators.
The Plan demonstrates the processes we have in place and those we are developing to review and challenge our operational holdings through property performance reviews and our non-operational properties through the development of specific commercial portfolio and disposal strategies. It shows how it links to the medium term financial strategy through the capital and revenue budgets and programmes and illustrates the asset management targets over 2006/07-2009/10.
