Prepare GI AMPs
Use a structured method to prepare first-cycle Green Infrastructure Asset Management Plans.
LFA Green Infrastructure Practice Guide
A professional knowledge platform from the Landscape Foundation of Australia.
A practical how-to Guide for councils and practitioners preparing credible, fundable and service-focused GI AMPs using the LFA 3×3 Framework.
Why this Guide exists
Trees, wetlands, raingardens, remnant bushland, coastal assets, green roofs and living systems deliver important community and environmental services. Yet many councils still lack a clear method for recording, planning, costing and funding these assets.
The Practice Guide provides a practical how-to pathway for preparing GI AMPs. It adapts established asset management principles used for grey infrastructure, but modifies them for living, adaptive and multifunctional assets whose service potential depends on ecology, climate, maintenance, soil, water and community value.
What the Guide helps you do
Use a structured method to prepare first-cycle Green Infrastructure Asset Management Plans.
Describe what services GI assets provide and what must be sustained over time.
Develop asset registers, condition and performance evidence, assumptions and data confidence.
Turn lifecycle requirements into cost forecasts, funding gaps and long-term financial planning inputs.
The method
Steps 1–3
Steps 4–6
