Abstract
Over the past decade there has been an increasing national focus on improving the
efficiency and accountability of Local Government organisations, particularly with
respect to their critical role in the management and operation of public infrastructure
assets. Australia’s economic, social and environmental sustainability depends heavily
on the ability of municipal authorities to effectively manage the infrastructure assets
for which they are ultimately responsible. The Community at large now expect
government and private agencies to deliver cost efficiency and life cycle affordability
in the provision and maintenance of public infrastructure.
Planning for the sustainable provision of essential Community infrastructure has
become a key issue now facing the Local Government sector in Australia. In meeting
this challenge most municipal authorities have developed corporate level strategies to
enhance internal business practices and demonstrate cost efficiency and lifecycle
affordability in the management of infrastructure assets. Corporate goals and
objectives have been aligned to reflect changing Community expectations with
respect to infrastructure provision, management and financial sustainability.
This research project examines the steps taken in the preparation of an Asset
Management Improvement Strategy for the City of Mandurah in Western Australia.
The strategy is intended to guide the development of existing management processes,
systems and data required to support the production and implementation of detailed
Asset Management Plans for major infrastructure asset groups. Through the adoption
and ultimate implementation of this strategy Council can approach the future with
confidence in their ability to provide the Mandurah Community with “sustainable”
service delivery through efficient management and operation of the City’s
infrastructure asset portfolio.
