- Burden of disease analysis is a technique that is used as a measure of population health. It is used to compare the impact of different diseases, conditions, injuries and risk factors on a population. This impact is a combination of the fatal (years of life lost due to premature death, YLL) and non-fatal (years lived in ill health or with disability, YLD) burden, they are then combined into a summary measure of health called Disability-Adjusted Life Years, or DALY. A DALY combines the impact of dying early and living with illness.

- In 2018 the disease groups with the highest age standardised Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) rates for the ACT were cancer (27.5 per 1,000 population), mental and substance use disorders (26.4 per 1,000 population), musculoskeletal conditions (26.4 per 1,000) and cardiovascular diseases (20.5 per 1,000 population).

As part of the Jobs for Canberrans Fund, announced in 2020, an audit occurred of bike paths and footpaths in Canberra. The audit was primarily focused on asset performance data to inform future asset management activities. The findings from this audit represent a snapshot in time and don’t reflect the current situation.

This dataset identifies the asset management recommendation for all audited paths and if the path segment had any vegetation encroachment. Asset management recommendations have been categorised as per below.
• As new;
• Portions within segment monitored under routine maintenance program; or
