The main function of this section is to ensure repairs and maintenance of the municipal vehicle fleet and small plant, and the upkeep of fleet management data. The current municipal fleet (e.g. cars, light delivery vehicles, trucks, digger loaders, graders, refuse compactor trucks, rollers and tractors) and small plant component consists of 1 023 items that were serviced and maintained in order to provide a support service to the various service departments. Deteriorating and ageing of the assets remain a big concern, especially in the light of limited funds for replacement. Repair and maintenance cost of vehicles, plant and equipment older than accepted replacement norms come at a high cost to the Municipality. Council has a Fleet Replacement Policy, but unfortunately,
due to the huge backlog as well as insufficient funding available, vehicles, plant and equipment are not always replaced to maximise net income for Council.

A total number of 33 additional and 53 replacements of fleet and small plant items took place
during this period.
