Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Aim
The purpose of this core infrastructure risk management plan is document the results and recommendations resulting from periodic identification, assessment and treatment of risks associated with providing services to the community from infrastructure, using the fundamentals of International Standard ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines.
Risk Management is defined in ISO 31000:2009 as: “coordinated activities to direct and control an organisation with regard to risk”.
1
1.2 Objectives
The objectives of the plan are:
to identify risks to the Berrigan Shire Council that may impact of the delivery of services from infrastructure,
to select credible risks for detailed analysis,
to analyse and evaluate risks in accordance with ISO 31000:2009,
to prioritise risks,
to identify risks requiring treatment by management action,
to develop risk treatment plans identifying the tasks required to manage the risks, the officer/authority responsible for each task, the resources required and the due completion date.
1.3 Advanced Infrastructure Risk Management
This advanced infrastructure risk management plan has been designed to be read as a supporting document to a NAMS.PLUS2 Asset Management Plan. It is based on the fundamentals of International Standard ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and guidelines.
Organisations aiming at being an effective manager of risk should comply with the following principles.
Risk management creates and protects value – by contributing to the demonstrable achievement of objectives and improvement of performance in, for example, human health and safety, security, legal and regulatory compliance, public acceptance, environmental protection, product/service quality, project management, effectiveness in operations, governance and reputation.
Risk management is an integral part of all organisational processes – not a stand-alone activity that is separate from the main activities and processes of the organisation. Risk management is part of the responsibilities of management and integral to all organisational processes, including strategic planning and all project and change management processes.
Risk management is part of decision making – by helping decision makers make informed choices, prioritise actions and distinguish between alternate courses of action.
Risk management explicitly address uncertainty, the nature of that uncertainty and how it can be addressed.
Risk management is systematic, structured and timely – which contributes to efficiency and consistent, comparable and reliable results.
Risk management is based on the best available information – however, decision makers should inform themselves of, and should take into account, any limitations of the data or modelling used or the possibility of divergence among experts.
Risk management is tailored – and aligned with the organisation’s external and internal control and risk factors.

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
Risk management takes human and cultural factors into account – by recognising the capabilities, perceptions and intentions of external and internal people that can facilitate or hinder achievement of the organisation’s objectives.
Risk management is transparent and inclusive – through appropriate and timely involvement of stakeholders and, in particular, decision makers at all levels of the organisation, so that risk management remains relevant and up-to-date. Involvement also allows stakeholder to be properly represented and to have their views taken into account in determining risk criteria.
Risk management is dynamic, iterative and responsive to change – by continually sensing and responding to change. As external and internal events occur, context and knowledge change, monitoring and review of risks take place, new risks emerge, some change and some disappear.
Risk management facilitates continual improvement of the organisation – from development and implementation of strategies to improve their risk management maturity alongside all other aspects of the organisation.
2
The success of risk management depends on the effectiveness of the management framework providing the foundations and arrangements that will embed it throughout the organisation at all levels. The framework ensures that information about risk derived from the risk management process is adequately reported and used as a basis for decision making and accountability at all relevant organisation levels.

the management framework components in managing risk is shown in Figure 1.3.

1.4 Scope
This plan considers risks to services delivery from transport infrastructure.
1.5 Risk Management Process
The risk management process used in this project is shown in Figure 1.5 below.
It is an analysis and problem solving technique designed to provide a logical process for the selection of treatment plans and management actions to protect the community against unacceptable risks.
The process is based on the fundamentals of International Standard ISO 31000:2009.

2. COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION
Risk communication and consultation is “continual and iterative processes that an organisation conducts to provide, share or obtain information and to engage in dialogue with stakeholders regarding the management of risk”.
4
Appropriate communication and consultation seeks to:
Improve people’s understanding of risks and the risk management processes,
Ensure that the varied views of stakeholders are considered, and
Ensure that all participants are aware of their roles and responsibilities. 5
The development of this infrastructure risk management plan was undertaken using a consultative team approach to:
Identify stakeholders and specialist advisors who need to be involved in the risk management process,
Discuss and take into account the views of stakeholder and specialist advisors, and
Communicate the results of the risk management process to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of and understand their and roles and responsibilities in risk treatment plans.
Members of the team responsible for preparation of this risk management plan are:
Director Technical Services,
Executive Engineer,
Roads Overseer,
Maintenance Overseer,
Enterprise Risk Manager
3. ESTABLISHING THE CONTEXT
In establishing the context, “the organisation articulates its objectives, defines the external and internal parameters to be taken into account when managing risk, and sets the scope and risk criteria for the remaining progress”.
6
The context is established in three stages, external, internal and risk criteria.
3.1 Establishing the external context
The external context is the external environment in which the organisation seeks to achieve its objectives. Understanding the external context is important to ensure that the objectives and concerns of external stakeholders are considered when developing risk criteria. This external context can include but is not limited to:
The social and cultural, political, legal, regulatory, financial, technological, economic, natural and competitive environment in which the organisation operates,
Key drivers and trends impacting on the objectives of the organisation, and
Relationships with, perceptions and values of external stakeholders.7

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
This is to determine the crucial elements which might support or impair its ability to manage the risks associated with its operation.
Key items of the external environment within which Berrigan Shire Council operates are:
Extreme Wet,
Reduction of Funding Sources,
Traffic Volume Increases, .
3.2 Establishing the internal context
The internal context is the internal environment in which the organisation seeks to achieve its objectives. It includes anything within the organisation that can influence the way in which an organisation will manage risks. It should be established because:
risk management takes place in the context of the organisation’s objectives,
objectives and criteria of a particular project, process and activity should be considered in the light of objectives of the organisation as a whole, and
some organisations fail to recognise opportunities to achieve their strategic, project or business objectives, and this affects ongoing organisational commitments, credibility trust and value.
8
The purpose of this stage is to align the risk management process with the organisation’s culture, processes, structure and strategy. It is essential that the organisation understands its internal context which can include, but is not limited to:
governance, organisational structure, roles and accountabilities,
policies, objectives, and the strategies that are in place to achieve them,
capabilities, understood in terms of resources and knowledge (eg capital, time, people, processes, systems and technologies),
the relationships with and perceptions and values of internal stakeholders,
the organisation’s culture,
information systems, information flows and decisions making processes (both formal and informal),
standards, guidelines and models adopted by the organisation, and
form and extent of contractual relationships.9
Berrigan Shire Council operates many management practices and procedures to identify and manage risks associated with providing services from infrastructure assets. These include:
operating a reactive maintenance service for all assets and services,
operating a planned maintenance system for key assets,
monitoring condition and remaining service life of assets nearing the end of their service life,
renewing and upgrading assets to maintain service delivery,
closing and disposing of assets not providing the required service level, and
acquiring or constructing new assets to provide new and improved services. 3.3 Establishing the context of the risk management process
This stage of context development is the risk management context. It includes setting the objectives, strategies, scope and parameters of the services to which the risk management process is being applied. The process should be undertaken with the need to balance costs, benefits and opportunities. The resources required and records to be kept should also be required.

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
The context of the risk management process will vary according to the needs of an organisation. It can involve, but is not limited to:
defining the goals and objectives of the risk management activities,
defining responsibilities for and within the risk management process,
defining the scope, as well as the depth and breadth of the risk management activities to be carried out, including specific inclusions and exclusions,
defining the activity, process, function, project, product, service or asset in terms of time and location,
defining the relationships between a particular project, process or activity and other projects, processes or activities of the organisation,
defining the risk assessment methodologies,
defining the way performance and effectiveness is evaluated in the management of risk,
identifying and specifying the decisions that have to be made, and
identifying, scoping or framing studies needed, their extent and objectives, and the resources required for such studies.
10
The organisation has assigned responsibilities for managing risks associated with assets and service delivery to the following areas.
Technical Services Department,
Enterprise Risk Manager, 3.4 Develop risk criteria
The purpose of this stage is to develop the criteria against which risk is to be evaluated. The criteria should reflect the organisation's values, objectives and resources and the interests of stakeholders. This may depend on operational, technical, financial, legal, social, humanitarian, or other criteria.
Some criteria can be imposed by, or derived from, legal and regulatory requirements and other requirements to which the organisation subscribes. Risk criteria should be consistent with the organisation's risk management policy, be defined at the beginning of any risk management process and be continually reviewed.
When defining risk criteria, factors to be considered should include the following:
the nature and types of causes and consequences that can occur and how they will be measured,
how likelihood will be defined,
the timeframe(s) of the likelihood and/or consequence(s),
how the level of risk is to be determined,
the views of stakeholders,
the level at which risk becomes acceptable or tolerable, and
whether combinations of multiple risks should be taken into account and, if so, how and which
combinations should be considered.11
The risk evaluation criteria used in this risk management plan are shown in Table 3.4. This criteria is used to identify risk that are not acceptable to the organisation.
Table 3.4: Risk Evaluation Criteria
Criterion Risk Evaluation (Not Acceptable) Criteria
Operational Risks that have the potential to reduce services for a period of time unacceptable to the community and/or adversely affect the organisation’s public image.

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
Criterion Risk Evaluation (Not Acceptable) Criteria
Technical Risks that cannot be treated by the organisation’s existing and/or readily available technical resources.
Financial Risks that cannot be treated within the organisation’s normal maintenance budgets or by reallocation of an annual capital works program.
Legal Risks that have the potential to generate unacceptable exposure to litigation.
Social Risks that have the potential to: - cause personal injury or death and/or - cause significant social/political disruption in the community.
Environmental Risks that have the potential to cause environmental harm.
The evaluation criteria are to provide guidance to evaluate whether the risks are acceptable to the organisation and its stakeholders in providing services to the community. Risks that meet the evaluation criteria above are deemed to be unacceptable and risk management plans are required to be developed and documented in this Infrastructure Risk Management Plan.
4. RISK IDENTIFICATION
4.1 General
Risk identification seeks to identify the risks to be managed. A well-structured systematic process is crucial, because a potential risk not identified at this stage is excluded from further analysis. All risks should be identified, whether or not they are under the control of the organisation.
The risks are identified in three stages:
What can happen? The aim is to generate a comprehensive list of events which might affect each element of the organisation’s service delivery.
How and why it can happen? It is necessary to consider possible causes and scenarios. There are many ways and event can be initiated. It is important that no significant causes are omitted.
Are risks credible? An assessment of credibility of all risk is undertaken to ensure that credible risks receive proper and due consideration.
The assets at risk, what can happen, when, possible cause(s), existing controls and assessment of credibility of the risk by the risk management team are shown in Table 4.1.
Credible risks are subjected to risk analysis in Section 5.

5. RISK ANALYSIS
5.1 General
Risk is analysed by combining estimates of likelihood and consequences in the context of existing control measures. The objective of a risk analysis is to separate the minor acceptable risks from the major risks and to provide data to assist in assessment and treatment of risk.
The level of risk is determined by considering two aspects against existing controls:
how likely it is that things may happen (likelihood, frequency of probability), and
the possible consequences (impact or magnitude of the effect) if they do occur. The risk analysis process is to:
identify the existing management controls, technical systems and procedures to control risk,
evaluate the likelihood of events occurring and their consequences in the context of these existing controls, and
combine the evaluation of likelihood and consequences to produce a level of risk. 5.2 Likelihood
Likelihood is a qualitative description of probability of an event occurring. The process of determining likelihood involves combining information about estimated or calculated probability, history or experience. Where possible it is based on past records, relevant experience, industry practice and experience, published literature or expert judgement. The qualitative likelihood descriptors are shown in Table 5.2.
Table 5.2: Likelihood Descriptors
Likelihood Descriptor Probability of occurrence
Rare May occur only in exceptional circumstances More than 20 years
Unlikely Could occur at some time Within 10-20 years
Possible Might occur at some time Within 3-5 years
Likely Will probably occur in most circumstances Within 2 years
Almost certain Expected to occur in most circumstances Within 1 year
5.3 Consequences
Consequences are a qualitative description of the effect of the event. The process of determining consequences involved combining information about estimated or calculated effects, history and experience. The qualitative likelihood descriptors are shown in Table 5.3.
The worst case consequence from the 5 consequence criteria in Table 5.3 is used for risk analysis.

Irreversible long term
> $1M Censure/ Inquiry
5.4 Risk Analysis
The risk assessment process compares the likelihood of a risk event occurring against the consequences of the event occurring. In the risk assessment matrix table below, a risk event with a likelihood of ‘Possible’ and a consequence of ‘Major’ has a level of risk of ‘High’. This level of risk is used to develop a typical risk treatment in Section 6.1.

Unlikely L L M M H
Possible L M H H H
Likely M M H H VH
Almost Certain M H H VH VH
Ref: HB 436:2004, Risk Management Guidelines, Table. 6.6 p 55.
5.5 Timing of Risk Treatment
The level of risk is used to determine risk treatments. Risk treatments can range from immediate corrective action (such as stop work, make safe or prevent use of the asset) for ‘Very High’ risks to manage by routine procedures for ‘Low’ risks.
Using the example from Section 5.4, an event with a ‘High Risk’ rating will require ‘Prioritised action’.
Table 5.4: Timing of Risk Management Required
Level of Risk Timing of Action Required
VH Very High Risk Immediate corrective action
H High Risk Prioritised action required
M Medium Risk Planned action required
L Low Risk Manage by routine procedures
- 14 -
Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
Immediate corrective action may include combinations of stopping work, making the area safe, preventing use of the asset and/or scheduling replacement as soon as possible. Prioritised action may include making the areas safe and implementing a short term work program to reduce the risk through improved maintenance or replacement of the asset. Planned action may include shifting the asset from a reactive maintenance to a planned maintenance management regime and/or scheduling component/asset replacement in the current or next budget. Manage by routine procedures involves managing the risk through existing operations and maintenance procedures.
5.6 Analysis of Risk
The team conducted an analysis of credible risks identified in Table 4.1 using the method described above to determine a level of risk for each credible risk.
The credible risks and levels of risk are shown in Table 6.2.
6. RISK EVALUATION
6.1 General
Risk evaluation involves comparing the level of risk found during the analysis process with previously established risk evaluation criteria and deciding whether the risks can be accepted.
Options should be evaluated on the basis of the extent of risk reduction and the extent of benefits or opportunities created, taking into account the criteria developed in Section 3.4.
In general, the adverse impact of risks should be made as low as reasonably practicable irrespective of any absolute criteria. A combination of options may give the optimum risk reduction outcome.
If the risks fall into the acceptable or low categories, they may be accepted with minimal further treatment. Acceptable or low risks should be monitored and periodically reviewed to ensure they remain acceptable.
If the risks do not fall into the acceptable or low category, they should be managed using one of the options below.
The output of risk evaluation is a prioritised list of risks for further action.
6.2 Risk Evaluation
Table 6.2 shows the evaluation of risks using the criteria determined in Section 4 and identified risks that are considered as not acceptable to meet the organisation’s objectives and for which, risk treatment plans are required. Risk treatment plans are developed in Section 7.

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
7. RISK TREATMENT PLANS
7.1 General
The treatment of risk involves identifying the range of options for treating risk, evaluating those options, preparing risk treatment plans and implementing those plans.
This includes reviewing existing guides for treating that particular risk, such as Australian and State legislation and regulations, Australian Standards and Best Practise Guides. Developing risk treatment options starts with understanding how risks arise, understanding the immediate causes and the underlying factors that influence whether the proposed treatment will be effective.
One treatment option is to remove the risk completely by discontinuing the provision of the service. Other options include risk reduction by reducing the likelihood and/or the consequences of the risk.
7.2 Manage the Risks
Risks need to be managed appropriately to the significance of the risk and importance of the affected item/asset to the organisation’s service delivery. As a general guide:
low levels of risk can be accepted and additional action may not be needed; these risks should be monitored,
major or significant levels of risk should be managed with actions to reduce or eliminate the risk,
high levels of risk require close management and the preparation of a formal plan to manage the risks.
Options for managing risk are shown below. The optimum solution may involve a combination of options.
Avoid the risk by deciding not to proceed with the activity that would incur the risk, or choose an alternative course of action that achieves the same outcome,
Reduce the level of risk by reducing the likelihood of occurrence or the consequences, or both; the likelihood may be reduced through management controls, organisational or other arrangements which reduce the frequency of, or opportunity for errors, such as alternative procedures, quality assurance, testing, training, supervision, review, documented policy and procedures, research and development.
the consequences may be reduced by ensuring that management or other controls, or physical barriers, are in place to minimise any adverse consequences, such as contingency planning, contract conditions or other arrangements.
Transfer the risk by shifting the responsibility to another party (such as an insurer), who ultimately bears the consequences if the event occurs. Risks should be allocated to the party which can exercise the most effective control over those risks.
Accept and retain the risks within the organisation where they cannot be avoided, reduced or reduced or transferred, or where the cost to avoid or transfer the risk is not justified, usually because the risk is acceptable or low. Risks can be retained by default, ie. Where there is a failure to identify and/or appropriately transfer or otherwise manage risks
The cost of managing risks needs to be commensurate with the benefits obtained, the significance of the event and the risks involved.

Berrigan Shire Council – Transport Infrastructure Risk Management Plan
7.3 Risk Treatment Process
The risk treatment process comprises 5 steps.
Step 1. Review causes and controls
The risk identification process documented in Section 5 included identifying possible causes and documenting existing controls.
Step 2. Develop treatment options
Treatment options include those that eliminate risk, reduce the likelihood or the risk event occurring, reducing the consequences should the risk event occur, sharing of the risk with others and accepting the risk.
Step 3. Assess risk treatment options against costs and residual risk
The method of assessment of risk treatment options can range from an assessment by a local group of stakeholders and practitioners experienced in operation and management of the assets/service to detailed risk cost and risk reduction cost/benefit analysis.
Step 4. Select optimum risk treatment
Step 5. Develop risk treatment plans
7.4 Risk Treatments Options
The risk treatment options identified for non-acceptable risks shown in Table 6.2 are detailed in Table 7.4.
7.5 Risk Treatment Plans
From the optimum risk treatment options identified in Table 7.4, risk treatment plans were developed.
The risk treatment plans identify for each non-acceptable risk:-
Proposed action
Responsibility
Resource requirement/budget
Timing
Reporting and monitoring required
The risk treatment plan is shown in Table 7.5.
