The range of useful lives for a representative range of assets is shown below, although individual assets may have an estimated total useful life of greater or lesser amount: Plant, Furniture & Equipment Office Furniture & Equipment 5 years Light Vehicles 3 to 7 years Heavy Vehicles 8 to 12 years Other Plant & Equipment 5 years Building & Other Structures Buildings - masonry 40 years Buildings - other construction 15 to 40 years Infrastructure Pool and Waterpark Infrastructure 15 to 30 years Telecommunications Infrastructure 5 to 7 years Water Pumping and Bore Infrastructure 5 years Transition to AASB 13 The requirements of AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement have been applied to all valuations undertaken since 1 July 2013 as shown by the valuation dates by individual asset classes below. Land under Roads Council being of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a value sufficiently reliably to qualify for recognition, land under roads has not been recognised in these reports. Land acquired for road purposes during the year is initially recognised at cost, but transferred to fair value at reporting date, effectively writing off the expenditure. Land & Land Improvements Freehold land and land over which Council has control, but does not have title, is recognised on the cost basis. No capitalisation threshold is applied to the acquisition of land or interests in land. Land improvements, including bulk earthworks with an assessed unlimited useful life, are recognised deriving from a valuation at 30 June 2017 at current replacement cost. Additions are recognised at cost.
