Solution : Asset Management Plans
Transparent and Community-Focused Asset Management Plans
Asset Management Plans provide councils with a clear and forward-looking framework for managing infrastructure, linking assets to community needs, service outcomes, and long-term financial sustainability.
- Provide a transparent, community-facing plan for all asset classes
- Integrate asset, financial, and service planning into one framework
- Support informed long-term investment and renewal decisions
- Build trust through clear communication of risks and trade-offs
Why This Matters for Councils and Organisations Like Yours
Infrastructure is one of council’s most significant responsibilities. Communities rely on safe, functional, and affordable assets to deliver essential services every day. Without long-term planning, councils risk underinvestment, unsustainable costs, and declining service levels. An Asset Management Plan is not just a technical document – it is a strategic communication tool. It creates a shared understanding between councils and communities about future service needs, renewal priorities, and the financial realities of asset ownership.
This Solution Includes:
- Development of 10-year Asset Management Plans for all asset classes
- Integration with Council Plans, Community Vision, and Long-Term Financial Plans
- Analysis of maintenance, renewal, expansion, and disposal strategies
- Asset condition review and renewal demand modelling
- Benchmarking against national best practice and ISO55000 standards
- Community consultation and engagement design
- Clear articulation of risks, challenges, and trade-offs
