Asset Management - Infrastructure

Legislation in recent years has embedded best practice requirements around the appropriate management of assets throughout their lifecycle. The other driver, funding constraints, has assumed greater weight in recent years. Both these drivers require councils to place a greater emphasis on optimal management of assets.

  • Do your asset management plans provide the right type of information to make decisions around replacement, disposal or retention?
  • Are your asset management plans properly integrated with your financials?
  • Are you confident you have the optimal level of assets in your portfolio?
  • Are you making the most of your assets to improve your funding and financing plans?
  • Are you confident you are properly managing all the risks associated with construction projects?
