Then there's 420 hectares of open space and an airport.

Dubbo mayor Ben Shields said a huge capital works program was coming to maintain the assets.

"The maintenance of our assets is a vital investment in the future of the Dubbo region. Council has a tremendous focus and commitment to building the worth of Dubbo, Wellington and the villages to reflect our place as a leader in NSW," Cr Shields said.

"In coming years the number of assets serving and connecting local communities will be greater as council undertakes the biggest capital works program for the region in many decades and maintains existing assets."

Council's chief financial officer Michael Howlett said the asset management strategy would ensure the road portfolio would continue to be serviced in a sustainable manner.

It also highlights how a maintenance backlog will form within council's building assets and in the recreation and open space area.

In the next ten years, council will have a $13 million backlog in the management and maintenance of open space. Council will undergo further review to look at ways the forecast backlog can be managed.

As it currently stands, Dubbo council is among 34 per cent of regional councils with a backlog of less than two per cent.
