Oversee Asset Management Strategy

Overview

A key to your Council’s financial wellbeing is to ensure you are managing assets successfully and sustainably.

Infrastructure assets such as roads, drainage and buildings represent a significant capital cost to Local Governments, making it critical that all assets are maintained throughout their life cycle and eventually replaced or decommissioned.

It is essential that Elected Members understand the meaning of sustainable service delivery and the term ‘efficient and effective’. Sustainable asset management will address:

• level of service to the community;
• user costs;
• maintenance costs and
• risk exposure and liability claims.

Target Audience

All Elected Members wishing to increase their knowledge of managing community assets and the long-term impact during its life cycle.

Learning Outcomes

• Identify the risks associated with the management of infrastructure assets;
• Understand the life cycle costs of infrastructure assets; 
• Identify the revenue gap; and
• Develop a plan for financial sustainability.
