Start with an asset survey

Without a baseline you're guessing. Commission an independent condition survey covering every path, bridge, structure and drainage asset.

Prioritise by risk and impact

Rank items by safety risk, likelihood of failure and impact on play. Address risk-to-player and irrigation-critical assets first.

Build a rolling programme

Split works across five financial years. Fund years 1–2 in detail; hold indicative budgets for years 3–5 and revisit annually.
