1. INTRODUCTION
This strategy provides the framew ork to guide the development of an integrated and comprehensive Asset Management model for Hume City Council. A structured set of actions has been identif ied consistent w ith Council’s Asset Management Policy and Council Plan 2009-2013. Asset Management is a tool that facilitates corporate accountability and impacts on all areas of service planning and delivery.
2. PURPOSE
The strategy describes the current status, vision and actions for consolidating Asset Management (A M) w ithin Hume City Council. It aims to assist Council to progress through the steps of developing meaningful AM plans and establishing a framew ork for the ongoing enhancement of AM practices to meet developing community needs. The strategy w ill facilitate decision making based on optimising the lifecycle cost of assets. It is an overarching document developed w ith the objective of ensuring capital investment is used effectively and in the best interests of the community.
3. COUNCIL ASSETS
Council currently ow ns and maintains over $1.79 billion w orth of assets including infrastructure (e.g. roads, drainage), land, buildings, furniture and f ittings, and equipment. These assets make up the economic and social infrastructure that enables the provision of services to the community and businesses, playing a vital role in the local economy and on quality of life. Details of the extent of these assets are included in Appendix 1. This Strategy covers the follow ing groups of assets: • Roads (including footpaths, bridges, kerbs and channels) • Buildings and properties • Drains • Parks and Open Space (including playgrounds) • Miscellaneous Assets (including IT equipment, machinery, library stock
and furniture)

4.2 Asset Management Documents Hierarchy Council’s written management elements comprise this Strategy, an Asset Management Policy, Asset Management Plans and Operational Plans. The follow ing diagram sets out the interrelationship betw een these elements to ensure a strategic approach to Asset Management.
Figure 2 Four Pillars in Asset Management
Source: MAV STEP Program
The Asset Management Policy sets out the overall Council vision in regard to infrastructure asset support services provision and establishes the Asset Management responsibilit ies and relationships amongst Council, Executive Management Team and Council staff in general. The Asset Management Strategy provides the link betw een the Policy and Asset Management Plans by recommending staged, prior itised improvements to be addressed over the next 4 years. Council’s Asset Management Strategy provides the framew ork to guide the development of an integrated and comprehensive Asset Management model for Council. The Asset Management Plans, for each of the major asset groups, document future demand for assets to deliver identif ied service needs, the target service levels intended and the means by w hich these w ill be achieved on a w hole of life cycle basis, along w ith the long term financial projection to achieve these. The Operations Plans, to be progressively developed by the asset custodians for each of the asset groups, document the means by w hich the operations and maintenance outcomes required of the Asset Management Plans w ill be delivered.

5. ASSET MANAGEM ENT SYSTEMS, DATA AND PROCESSES
5.1 Systems Council ut ilises a number of information systems and has a need to rationalise, integrate and develop them further. A number of new Asset Management systems are also needed. Current systems include: • Finance 1 – Council’s corporate f inancial information system; • TRIM - Corporate correspondence management system • MERIT – Customer request management system; • Proclaim – Property database; • Property Store – Valuation and Leasing; • CentaMan - Sport & Recreation Booking Management System; • AutoCAD Map3D – Graphical Information System (GIS); • SMEC – Pavement Management System (PMS); • Moloney’s Renew al Modelling System (netw ork application only); • VicRoads’ Bridge Inspection System • Fleetmanager - Plant management system; • Property Store – Valuation database; • Corporate Risk Register (in MS Excel); and • Various access databases for specif ic application. Appropriate cost effective systems are being integrated into the overall Asset Management structure. Linkages exist betw een the GIS system and Proclaim, SMEC PMS, the drainage netw ork, the tree management system and reserves and playgrounds. With asset applications being developed more information is being made accessible to all relevant personnel. Asset registers for most asset classes are located in accessible locations and responsibility for maintenance is w ell defined. The Council’s vision for Asset Management is to have a central asset database for each asset groups and eliminate duplication of information, w ith integrated processes and systems that allow planning for the eff icient use of all assets. Systems need to be acceptable to all stakeholders and accessible. With the exception of roads through SMEC PMS, advanced functionalities such as predictive modelling and life cycle costs optimisation and scenario planning do not exist currently. Council is currently using the Moloney’s Renew al Model to provide high level netw ork modelling leading to long term financial forecast of renew al requirements. System improvement activities currently in progress or being considered include: • Integration betw een GIS and the road maintenance system • Developing condit ion degradation profile for stormw ater pipes • Inputting building data information on GIS to provide a centralised building
asset register.

Page 5 of 13
5.2 Data The available Asset Management data includes: • Road data including condition data (PCIs) in SMEC PMS separated into
segments w ith unique asset identif iers; • Condition data /images for footpath and roads are currently stored in
Puredata’s Pureplayer system; • Stormw ater Drains data is stored in the GIS w ith basic attributes such as
year, material type and depths (for pits); • Bridge data in an excel spreadsheet not separated into components,
condition data in Bridge Inspection System; • Building data in an excel spreadsheet (currently to be migrated to GIS) not
separated into systems /components (e.g. structures, roof, building services or f it-out) and w ith some basic condition data derived from recent Dennis Hunt’s facilities audit;
• Plant data stored in Fleetmanager; • Major Reserves data including playgrounds is stored in the GIS w ith
attribute information; • Street Tree data stored in GIS w ith condition information and • Land data located in Property Store.
Data improvements currently in progress or being considered include:
• A GIS-based centralised asset register for building; • Establishing condition profiles of underground stormw ater pipes through
mapping from statistical modelling based on CCTV condition surveys and • Poligonisation of roads. 5.3 Processes Council’s Asset Management processes are integrated with its wider corporate planning and f inancial planning process. This is shown previously in Figure 2. The current processes have evolved since 1999 and now provide a solid framew ork and a credible basis for capital funding and periodic maintenance requirements. An Asset Quality Management Framew ork has been developed to ensure that reviews are carried out at appropriate t imes and that processes are delivering appropriate outcomes. The follow ing elements of the Asset Management system are in place: • An Asset Management Policy • An Asset Management Strategy • Various Asset Management Plans
• Roads /Footpaths /Bridges /Carparks /Traff ic Management Devices and Roadside Furniture (2010)
• Buildings and Property (2010) • Drainage (2004) • Parks and Open Space (2006)

• Miscellaneous Assets (2006) (Draft Only) • A Road Management Plan created under the Road Management Act 2009 • Implementation of the documentation of AM systems • A Risk Management Plan
HCC has been a participant of the Municipal Association of Victoria’s (MAV) STEP program since its inception in 2003 in support of MAV’s objectives of improving Asset Management practices across Victoria. In addition, Council provided feedback to the Department of Planning and Community Development’s annual survey on Asset Management Performance Measures. These tw o programmes had provided Council opportunit ies to continuously improve its Asset Management capability through identif ication of key challenges and benchmarking of best practices and processes.
6. VISION
Council’s commitment to Asset Management as described in its Council Plan 2009-2012 under the Theme of ‘Appearance of the City and Environment’ is: “To provide a network of sustainable infrastructure that services the community to prescribed levels” Council’s vision in Asset Management is to provide assets that are accessible, safe, sustainable and responsive to the needs of the community and the natural and built environment. The MAV advocates that Councils delivering Best Appropriate Practice in Asset Management should be able to demonstrate capabilities in managing: Asset Know ledge
• We know what assets we ow n or what we are responsible for; • We have recorded these assets in a register dow n to an identif iable level; • We monitor the condit ion, performance, utilisation and costs of assets
dow n to the managed component level and aggregate this data up to give outputs of cost and performance at a number of levels.
Service Delivery
• We thoroughly understand and have recorded the current levels of service in terms of quantity and quality of service;
• We understand the likely future levels of service required based on population grow th, demographic changes and community expectations.
Corporate, Financial and Business Planning
• We understand the long term (20 years+) funding needs of our municipality to meet customer expectations in both capital and recurrent expenditure;
• We assess the indirect or ancillary cost impacts of inadequate asset condition or performance on the community in terms of the economic consequences of failing to meet our agreed standards of service levels;
• We link our corporate goals to our investments and ultimate action plans.
Document: Asset Management Strategy Document No.: Approved By: EMT Date Approved: dd mm 2010
Page 7 of 13
Informed Decision Making • We have uniform processes across our w hole organisation for the
evaluation of any investment in capital w orks, maintenance and operations. The process involves an assessment of the relative risks and benefit costs of these investments;
• We only make decisions on individual projects w hen all service programs have completed these outputs and the funding needs of the whole organisation is know n together w ith the know ledge of its impact on rates and charges.
Accountability and Responsibility
• We monitor and report on the condit ion, performance and functionality of our assets against prescribed service levels and regulatory requirements;
• We support Asset Management through our corporate structure, roles and responsibilit ies and through our policies and resulting strategies.
Sustainability
• We only approve capital for new w orks and services w ith the commitment of the necessary recurrent expenditure;
• We alw ays approve the necessary renew al program to sustain the existing levels of service before other w orks, providing they are justif ied through our process.
Council embraces the above guiding principles for its Asset Management practices.
7. THE IMPACT OF GROWTH The impact of growth inevitably requires an increase in the percentage of budget
funding allocated to maintenance and renewal and a decrease in the percentage allocated to new works, over time. It is imperative that in costing new works on the Capital Works Program and in receiving new granted assets through subdivisions that we factor in the associated life cycle costs into our operating budgets and f inancial forecasting.
New assets have a lag period before they start to impact on renewal budgets i.e.
generally 20 years or more for the larger assets however they have an immediate impact on maintenance budgets in the short to medium term.
8. COUNCIL’S ASSET MANAGEM ENT INVOLVEM ENT WITH THE STEP
PROGRAM Council has been a participant of MAV’s STEP program since its inception in 2003 in support of MAV’s objectives of improving Asset Management practices across Victoria. The objective of the STEP program is to continue to assist Councils to build infrastructure Asset Management capacity by: • Improving Asset Management Capability
Document: Asset Management Strategy Document No.: Approved By: EMT Date Approved: dd mm 2010
Page 8 of 13
• Applying Asset Management principles. The initial Program started w ith high-level review of council’s Asset Management performance in four key areas namely, Policy, Strategy, Planning, and Operations. The Program had now gone through the Advanced Step phase with focus on the processes particularly in the areas of development, documentation and implementation requirements to enable life cycle management and to achieve long term sustainable service delivery. The MAV conducted annual audit of Council’s Asset Management performance through a balanced scorecard system involving ten key challenges facing the councils. Council’s Asset Management performances over the past three years are show n below .

9. ASSET MANAGEM ENT PROGRAMS DELIVERY 9.1 Asset Management Structure Asset management should receive the w hole of Council support from the Councillors through the Executive Management Team to the operational staff. As asset management requires a coordinated approach involving cross-functional disciplines a formal asset management structure is necessary w ithin Council. The follow ing f igure illustrates the management structure for the implementation, monitoring and review ing of the improvement process.

An Asset Management Responsibility Matrix has been developed to clearly identify and demarcate the roles and responsibilit ies of Council staff involved. (Refer Council’s Asset Quality Management Framew ork document). 9.2 Asset Quality Management Framework Asset Management needs to incorporate appropriate quality processes in the “Plan, Do, Check, Improve” cycle to ensure continuous improvements in the Asset Management project implementations. The Asset Quality Management Framew ork provides a set of w orkflow processes which w ill aid to improve the systems used in Asset Management and ensure that Council’s assets are managed in an eff icient and effective w ay and that structures are in place to ensure that the elements of risk, w ork systems and staff inputs make for a seamless delivery.

10. ASSET MANAGEM ENT IMPROV EMENTS
10.1 Improvement Opportunities The audits from the MAV STEP program and Council’s internal review of Asset Management practices highlighted the follow ing areas for particular attention:
• Understanding community expectations and review ing service levels.
• Information System – The Asset systems need to be centralised to avoid duplicated lists that w hen compared have differences;
• Data and Information – Moving tow ards electronic data forms to centralise registers and contain all information from various contributors and to w ork tow ards real time information and reduce double handling; and
• Organisational – Asset Management responsibilities, processes and planning to ensure EMT and Council have relevant updates and custodians know their responsibilit ies.
The follow ing summarises some of Council’s achievements in the past four years:
• Instigation of Asset Management Forums w here other Council Asset managers from the northern area of Melbourne meet quarterly to discuss and present on Asset Management issues.
• Completed review and updated Council’s Asset Management Policy • Completed review and updated Council’s Asset Management Strategy (this
document • Developed Asset Quality Management Framew ork (2009) • Documented Asset Management Responsibility Matrix • Completed review and updated Roads Asset Management Plan (including
pavements, kerb and channel, bridges, footpath, carpark, traff ic management devices and roadside furniture), (2010)
• Completed review and updated Buildings and Property Asset Management Plan, 2010
• Consolidated various buildings asset registers into a single GIS-based asset register
• Stormw ater pipe condition assessments through CCTV (2005 – 2008) • Condition audit of Council Buildings (2006) • Video survey of road network condition (2006) • Video survey of footpath condition (2007) • Bridge Level 2 inspection (2006). 10.2 Key Review Activities The follow ing review s and cyclic activities constitute part of Asset Management improvement strategies.

Annual rolling CCTV survey for drainage Every 4 years for buildings and properties Every 4 years for other asset groups
Asset Life review Every 4 years for all asset groups
Asset Revaluation Every 2 years for Land and Buildings Every 3 years for all other asset groups
AMP Review Major review every 4 year (with partial financial projections review every two years).
Note: * This is in addition to the annual inspection programs as required in Council’s Road Management Plan. Level 2 inspection f or Bridges Council w ill continue to undertake the activities listed above to ensure currency and completeness of data and information. In addition, an improvement plan has been prepared to address the issues identif ied. Implementation of the plan will be managed by the Asset Management Section in the Infrastructure Planning Department and overseen by the Executive Management Team. The Asset Management Section w ill be responsible for the co-ordination of all activities in the improvement program. The improvement plan focuses on the key elements necessary to improve the standard of Asset Management over the next three years and w ill include the development of a sustainable model for funding assets, w hich will focus heavily on lifecycle costing criteria. Details of the Asset Management Improvement Work plan are documented in Appendix 2. 10.3 Resource Implications The improvements nominated in this report w ill require appropriate expenditure for resourcing the improvement program. The program involves setting up the systems, processes and data capture. The program is ongoing and requires constant inputs to keep the systems up to date and operating as eff iciently as possible. Many of the improvements such as data, systems and the introduction of new processes w ill form part of the day-to-day operations leading to the enhancement or replacement of existing processes. Costs w ill be of tw o types: 1. The existing Asset Management support proposed to manage or oversee
all projects for the duration of the improvement program; and 2. Additional resources required for specif ic projects will be identif ied w hen the
project is developed by the Asset Management w orking team. This w ill include temporary staff for data capture or contracted projects across the asset classes.
