1. INTRODUCTION

The Campaspe Shire Council is the custodian of an extensive range of community assets. In order to deliver a variety of services to the community, Council must ensure that the assets supporting these services are managed in a sustainable manner over the long term.

This strategy describes the current status and desired state, guiding principles and actions for improving asset management (AM) within the Shire of Campaspe.

The Asset Management Strategy establishes the framework that determines the nature and direction of Asset Management and associated financial planning – its objective is to describe how Council will meet its commitment to asset management as documented in its Council Plan and Policy 91 – Sustainable Asset Management.

It is a strategic document with the objective of directing Council’s efforts to manage its assets in a sustainable manner that provides ongoing support in meeting community needs through balanced consideration of technical standards, levels of service and whole of life costs.

2. PURPOSE AND DEFINITION

The purpose of this Asset Management Strategy is to identify the necessary activities to be undertaken and implemented to achieve the implementation of Council’s Asset Management policy, “Policy 91 – Sustainable Asset Management”.

The strategy is to provide the framework to guide the development of asset management practices at the Shire of Campaspe over a four year period.

The definition of Asset Management is taken from ISO 55000 (Asset Management): “The coordinated activity of an organisation to realise value from assets.”

The definition of an asset from ISO 55000: “An item, thing or entity that has potential or actual value to an organisation. “

It can include but is not limited to:

A road, drain, building, vehicle, piece of equipment or product.

3. ASSET MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

Policy 91 – Sustainable Asset Management defines the following key principles for Asset Management practice within the Campaspe Shire Council:

“The Shire of Campaspe owns or manages assets for the express purpose of providing community services.

The Shire of Campaspe will provide and maintain assets so that they:

Meet the service levels agreed with the community.

Support the organisation to deliver effective outcomes.

Are fit and safe for the purpose for which they have been provided.

Minimise detrimental impact on the natural environment.

Adopted 27 June 2017 Page 2

A s s e t M a n a g e m e n t S t r a t e g y

W a s t e M

Are replaced as required subject to agreed prioritisation.

Are financially sustainable.”

To achieve the implementation of the above Asset Management Principles this strategy details a structured set of actions aimed at enabling improved asset management within the organisation. The associated Action Plan (Appendix A) forms the measurable basis for delivering this objective.

4. KEY BENEFITS OF ASSET MANAGEMENT

Current Asset Management Maturity.

7.1. Policies and Strategies

Council has an adopted Asset Management Policy – Policy 91 Sustainable Asset Management which defines the key principles for Asset Management within the Shire of Campaspe. This Asset Management Strategy defines the steps required to be completed to implement council’s Asset Management policy.

Council has an adopted Asset Renewal Funding Strategy which aims to progressively reduce the gap between the level of renewal funding and a target of 80% of the rolling 6 year average of asset depreciation cost. There are opportunities to further improve this funding strategy to account for the disconnect between annual depreciation cost (which is in effect an average, representing annual consumption of the assets) and annual renewal funding requirements (which vary year to year based on physical condition of the assets and the service levels that they are measured against). A review of the Asset Renewal Funding Strategy is proposed and scheduled in Appendix A - Asset Management Improvement Plan within this document.

Figure 1 shows the relationship between key asset management documents and the organisation. Key associated policies depicted in the diagram include the Valuation Policy, Capitalisation Policy, Drainage policy and more

7.2. Plans

Policy 91 – Sustainable Asset Management requires council to develop, adopt and regularly update asset management plans for all major asset classes informed by appropriate community consultation and local government financial reporting frameworks. A policy is to be developed to guide Service Planning across the organisation. The Service Plans and Asset Management Plans document the services that council provides the community and how to sustainably manage the assets required to support those services.

7.2.1. Service Plans

Service Plans define the service, the assets required, any supporting programs, capital work and projects which need to be undertaken to support the delivery of the service. This includes levels of service, costs, targets, providers, KPIs and the reporting framework.

A Service Plan provides a description of a service that council provides and includes:

The driver for the service

The key issues/themes in delivering the service

The assets and resources required and used

Levels of service to be delivered and measured

Actions required to enhance service delivery

Annual costs and longer term financial projections for both operational and capital expenditure for consideration in the Long term Financial Plan.

Council’s Service Plans are based on a template that has been developed through collaboration with other councils under the MAV’s STEP Asset Management Services Program. The current Service Plans do not contain financial projections, improvement actions or levels of service. This is an improvement action proposed and scheduled in Appendix A - Asset Management Improvement Plan within this document.

7.2.2. Asset Management Plans

An Asset Management plan is defined in Policy 91 as ‘a plan developed for the management of one or more assets that combines multi-disciplinary management techniques (including technical and financial) over the lifecycle of the asset in the most cost-effective manner to provide specified levels of service. A significant component of the plan is a long-term cash flow projection for activities’.

Asset Management plans relate to a single asset class and cover:

Levels of Service to meet both community and technical requirements relating to Service Plans

Future demand forecasting relating to the asset class

Risk management covering identification and assessment of critical asset risks

Lifecycle management plans covering asset quantities, performance, condition, valuation, maintenance planning, operations planning, renewal planning, new/upgrade and asset disposal planning

W a s t e M

Financial planning covering maintenance, operations, renewal, construction/purchase, upgrade and disposal of assets and any funding approaches taken

Asset Management practices including software systems, processes, standards and guidelines

Identified plan improvements and monitoring approaches.

Council last formally reviewed and updated its Asset Management Plans in 2004. These plans were out of date and required significant review. A new approach to the development Asset Management Plans has been undertaken with material common to all plans extracted into a ‘General Provisions Asset Management Plan’ with a detailed, asset class specific plan for each asset class. Initial Draft Asset Management Plans have now been developed which will be progressively refined to CORE Asset Management Competency level (as defined in the National Asset Management Assessment Framework) with the priority order determined by the Asset Management Steering Committee.

The new templates for the revised Asset Management Plan development have been established through collaboration with other councils under the MAV’s STEP Asset Management Program.

7.3. Processes

In the past few years, council’s asset management processes have begun to be integrated with its wider corporate planning and financial planning process. Improvements to processes in the area of capital works planning, condition assessment, project management and asset data capture and management are examples of recent progress. Policy development work is well advanced. In other key areas there is work to be done to improve the level of standardisation and documentation of asset management processes and to increase understanding of asset related processes across the organisation.

7.4. Systems

Council previously utilised a multitude of information systems to store and manage data. There was no single organisation wide asset management system and limited linkages between current siloed asset management systems.

In line with council’s Information and Communication (ICT) Strategy a new asset management system was procured in 2015 to remove the use of multiple data storage points and improve integration of data and processes relating to asset management.

Current systems which have a key role in the management of assets are detailed in Table 1.

7.5. Data

Asset data is collected in a number of ways at project completion, through targeted surveys, at asset handover from developer subdivisions, and ad hoc via design investigation and other sources, however the majority is confirmed via formal condition assessments. Although council has a set of existing asset information in many cases no formal documentation exists around what data should be recorded for each asset class. Further work needs to be completed to confirm the actual data council requires to consistently record each asset.

Condition assessments are undertaken on a rolling cycle with period between assessments determined based on the characteristics of the class of asset to be inspected. In order to establish and maintain good asset condition data it is proposed that the interval between inspections shall be no longer than 20% of the adopted average asset life subject to a maximum interval of five years. Condition inspections are required at least every three to five years under the accounting regulations and the program of condition assessments must tie in with the proposed revaluation process as lack of data may impact on council’s ability to produce an unqualified statement of financial accounts. Condition data is also used for strategic renewal forecasting and financial planning and is integral to the process of identifying the capital works renewal program.

The current proposed schedule for condition assessments can be found in Appendix B. The estimated cost of condition assessment in the next 3 years is as follows:

2017/18 $243,500

2108/19 $$180,200

2019/20 $333,200

Note that these estimates will be affirmed each year in the budget process. The current operational budgeting process will require growth requests to be made and justified to obtain appropriate funding levels in 2018/19 and 2019/20. A review of procurement options and scheduling will take place with an aim to smooth the spending between years 2018/19 and 2019/20

7.6. Current Asset Management Maturity

Council measures its asset management competency in the context of the National Asset Management Assessment Framework (NAMAF). An annual assessment is conducted by the Asset Management Steering Committee against a set of 80 Core questions as part of the MAV’s STEP Asset Management program. The MAV’s program provider then uses the NAMAF to facilitate an overall assessment of Council’s Asset Management performance against 11 key elements. This process identifies key improvement opportunities which form an input to the Roadmap action plan (Appendix A).

The most recent NAMAF assessment was in May 2017. The summary results from this assessment are shown in Figure 2.

FIGURE 2 NAMAF CORE MATURITY RESULT MAY 2017

8. ASSET MANAGEMENT TARGETS

The MAV had an objective for councils to achieve ‘Core’ Maturity for each of the 11 NAMAF elements by December 2012. This was defined at the time, as achieving a total score greater than 1000 in the NAMAF Scorecard.

The Asset Management Steering Committee has developed a Strategic Asset Management Roadmap based on the outcomes of the NAMAF to ensure that steady progress is made in improving our Asset Management performance and achievement of CORE competency as soon as practicable.

Once CORE is obtained, the AMSC will prioritise the actions required to work toward achieving ISO 55000 competency. The target date for this will be reviewed once CORE has been achieved.

9. IMPROVEMENTS

Based on the National Asset Management Assessment Framework requirements for a level of core asset management practice, an asset management improvement plan for 2017-2020 has been developed and is included as Appendix A to this strategy.

The improvement plan is based around the structure and key improvement areas as outlined in the National Asset Management Assessment Framework together with actions identified from the Shire of Campaspe’s audit committee. The program outlines tasks, responsibilities, timetable and resource estimates.

As illustrated in Appendix A, improvements are required in each of the defined areas in the assessment framework to achieve a 100% core standard of Asset Management.

10. RESOURCES

The improvement actions identified in this strategy will require appropriate expenditure for resourcing the improvement plan actions. The plan is based on continuous improvement in council’s asset management performance over the next 3 years as measured by the annual NAMAF assessment and the completion of roadmap tasks. Many of the improvement actions such as data quality, systems and the introduction of new processes will form part of the day-to-day operations within council’s Strategic Asset Management unit.

There will be several types of costs involved in achieving the implementation of the roadmap by July 2019 including:

1. Additional periodical resources for gathering and assessing asset condition data. These costs will form part of the operational budget in the Asset Management department and identified in section 7.5.

2. Funding and resources to engage specialist consulting assistance for specific identified tasks.

11. REVIEW & MEASUREMENT

Any Strategy must be a dynamic document, reflecting and responding to changes over time. Once adopted, a full review of this Asset Management Strategy will take place every four years. A review of the Action Plan (Appendix A) will be undertaken annually, following the annual review of the Council Plan, Long Term Financial Plan, Budget and Asset Management Plans.

12. CONCLUSION

Council recognises that improving its asset management practices will provide extensive benefits in both the short and long term to the community. Adopting and implementing this Asset Management Strategy will significantly improve asset management and financial planning practices at the Shire of Campaspe.

14. APPENDIX B – ASSET CONDITION ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE

The table below shows the date of the most recent condition assessment, whether a formalised condition assessment approach has been documented and is available, indicative costs for assessments and the agreed maximum period between assessments into the future. The table on the next page shows the annual program for assessments and estimated cost into the future. Note that the costs are generally estimated for visual assessment only and exclude more detailed condition investigation (such as core samples at pools). The exceptions to this are Gravel Roads which is based on measuring depth of gravel and drainage pipes where the cost is estimated for underground video survey.
