The Asset Management Council is proud to offer membership access to our newly created Job Board.

It is now clear that AMPEAK20 cannot proceed in its original advertised format due to current circumstances. Our primary concern is for the health and safety of our members and stakeholders and the wider community.
We have worked with the venue and are able to transfer AMPEAK for 12 months until 18th to 21st April 2021. AMPEAK21 will be held 18th to 21st April 2021 at Crown Promenade, Melbourne.
Delegates, speakers, exhibitors and sponsors are offered options of a transfer of registration to AMPEAK21 or a refund. Here’s what to do if you would like a refund for AMPEAK20 or transfer to AMPEAK21:
Last year, in November, the new Local Government Bill was introduced to Parliament. The bill will become law imminently, and will take effect in a progressive motion across 2020, and into 2021.
The bill is the result of many years of extensive engagement with Victoria’s 79 councils, ratepayers, stakeholders and communties, and seeks to reform and improve the way local government works in the state of Victoria. With a focus on training for councillors, and strategic planning in the areas of financial management, community vision and good practice guidelines, the introduction of the bill brings in a new era of local governance.
In these current times of uncertainty, when the global outlook seems bleak, the Asset Management Council is thrilled to hear and share good news. The Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, Karen Andrews, announced that SmartCrete CRC will receive $21 million in government support under the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) program.
The Asset Management Council Board has been continually monitoring the evolving situation with the Coronavirus outbreak in Australia. The latest advice as of Friday 13th March was that Asset Management Council gatherings could ‘proceed as planned’ for the time being as all gatherings are less than 500.
However, with the ongoing uncertainty and rapid escalation of COVID-19 over the last few days, the Board has decided to suspend all face-to-face elements of Chapter Technical Meetings until the end of March 2020 and to do what we can to assist in social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19.
