SUMMARY:Sydney - Protecting Property: Strata Asset Management Risks and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Property is one of the most valuable and complex asset classes\, yet residential strata continues to face major risks from defects\, poor information handover and weak governance. This event will explore how fragmented practices have left property owners and managers exposed\, with issues such as missing design records\, incomplete asset registers\, warranty disputes\, and inadequate lifecycle planning driving up costs and eroding confidence in the market. By referencing the Building Manual Guideline\, the discussion will show how better systems\, accountability\, and transparency can protect property value while reducing financial and safety risks. \nThe program will highlight the case for change\, shifting strata property asset management from reactive maintenance to proactive\, data-driven practices. This includes upskilling strata managers and owners’ corporations\, embedding robust governance structures\, and adopting tools such as digital records\, lifecycle costing\, and transparent levy planning. Key themes include liability management\, procurement responses\, ownership and co-funding models\, and the legal ramifications of poor documentation. Central to the discussion is how build quality achieved at the design\, approval\, and construction stages can be effectively translated into long-term occupancy asset management\, ensuring properties remain safe\, durable\, and financially sustainable throughout their lifecycle. \nBuilding on industry milestones such as the Shergold Weir Building Confidence Report (2018)\, the NSW Government’s response (2019)\, the Strata Community Association’s Building Manual Guideline (2020)\, and Engineers Australia’s 2023 report on managing building defects\, the event will emphasise that while property owners face genuine risks — from systemic defects and water ingress to unexpected financial shocks — there are also significant opportunities. Smarter property and strata asset management not only protects buyers and owners from risk but also enables innovation in sustainability\, transparency\, and long-term value creation. By addressing “buyer beware” challenges head-on\, the sector can move towards stronger\, safer\, and more resilient communities that align with both local and global best practices. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			James Sherrard is the NSW Building Commissioner.

SUMMARY:Sydney - Building Resilient Assets in an Era of Climate Extremes
DESCRIPTION:The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in New South Wales pose significant challenges to the resilience of government-owned assets and the communities they serve. Many public infrastructure systems — including roads\, bridges\, schools\, and utilities — were not designed to withstand current climate risks\, resulting in repeated damage\, costly rebuilds\, and long-term service disruptions. A key challenge lies in transitioning from reactive recovery efforts to proactive\, risk-informed asset planning and investment. Limited funding\, fragmented governance\, and inconsistent data on asset vulnerability further complicate coordinated resilience-building efforts. However\, there are growing opportunities to address these gaps. \nThe NSW Reconstruction Authority’s leadership in developing the State Disaster Mitigation Plan\, alongside AECOM’s technical expertise in resilience modelling and Moody’s Analytics’ insights into the rising economic costs of disasters\, are paving the way for smarter\, data-driven decision-making. Through collaborative planning\, stronger intergovernmental coordination\, and targeted investment in resilience upgrades\, NSW has a unique opportunity to embed long-term sustainability and community protection into its asset management systems. \nNSW continues to grapple with escalating climate-driven disasters — from the severe flooding in Northern NSW earlier this year to the bushfires in past seasons — that have spotlighted vulnerabilities in government-managed infrastructure. The state’s response demonstrates that the government’s approach must go beyond reactive recovery and focus on proactive resilience in asset management and planning. \nThis NSW-based resilience panel consists of representatives from: \n\nThe NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA)\, backed by more than $300 million in funding\, leading the recovery and mitigation effort through Australia’s first State Disaster Mitigation Plan (SDMP)\, released in February 2024\, and via grant programs such as the Community Assets Program and Central West Recovery & Resilience package (valued at $100 million). Through these initiatives\, damaged infrastructure — such as schools\, bridges\, and community centres — is being rebuilt with enhanced flood resilience and hazard-adaptive design.\nAECOM\, whose expertise in climate adaptation\, risk modelling\, and infrastructure hardening underpins projects such as the Sydney Resilience Strategy and climate-risk assessments for regional NSW retail centres affected by floods and cyclones.\nMoody’s Analytics\, which provides robust analytical modelling approaches. Recent assessments suggest that bushfire-related losses may exceed $4.4 billion and that annual disaster costs across Australia could more than double to $39 billion by 2050.\n\nThe session will blend case studies\, policy panels\, and technical sessions geared towards strengthening government-led asset resilience and advancing community recovery across NSW. \nClick here to register \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Amanda Leck is the Deputy Secretary and Group Head of Adaptation\, Mitigation and Reconstruction with the NSW Reconstruction Authority. In this role\, she is responsible for senior executive leadership of the Group\, including the delivery of the State Disaster Mitigation Plan and Disaster Adaptation Plans in the Hawkesbury–Nepean Valley\, the Northern Rivers region of NSW\, and other areas across the state. Amanda has extensive experience working in complex community and government environments\, bringing together stakeholders from a diverse range of sectors to deliver outcomes that reduce risk and strengthen disaster resilience for communities.\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Suzanna Remmerswaal is Group Leader – Impact Assessment and Planning\, Sydney\, at AECOM. An engineer and planner by training\, Suzanna is passionate about creating spaces that better serve people as we adapt to a changing climate.

In 2004\, Michael returned home to New Zealand. Following the 2010–11 earthquakes in Christchurch\, he became more involved with the local New Zealand market\, liaising between RMS’s developers and local insurers\, regulators\, engineers\, and government. Today\, he provides technical support on Australia and New Zealand physical risk models to Moody’s client-facing teams.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - From Worthless Data to Intelligent Assets: Edge Federated Machine Learning in Real Work Asset Management
DESCRIPTION:Asset-intensive organisations have invested heavily in enterprise asset management systems and condition monitoring infrastructure\, yet most operational data remains underutilised. This presentation challenges the conventional centralised analytics approach and introduces edge federated machine learning as a transformative architecture for physical asset management. \nDrawing on real-world implementations across Australian transport\, ports and heavy industry\, this session demonstrates how edge computing\, combined with federated learning\, addresses four critical barriers to intelligent maintenance: \n\nIsolated asset knowledge that prevents fleet-wide learning\nData silos across facilities that block insight sharing\nCloud analytics latency that misses split-second failure indicators\nPrivacy concerns that lock away valuable operational data\n\nTopics: Data governance\, quality and utilisation \nClick here to register \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Shane Scriven is the Founder and Managing Director of SAS Asset Management\, an Australian consultancy specialising in advanced analytics and AI for asset-intensive industries. He holds the Certified Senior Practitioner in Asset Management (CSAM) and Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) credentials\, alongside multiple certifications in lubrication and vibration analysis. With over a decade of experience spanning transport\, defence\, mining\, healthcare and manufacturing\, Shane has built a reputation for bridging traditional asset management with emerging technologies. His current work centres on edge computing\, federated machine learning and real-time diagnostic systems for clients across rolling stock\, port operations and heavy industry — turning maintenance data into actionable\, predictive insights. A recipient of the Project of the Year Award for his work in structural health monitoring\, Shane is driven to deliver tailored solutions that merge best-practice frameworks\, such as ISO 55001 and GFMAM\, with the practical realities of each organisation. He is equally passionate about advocating for mental health\, resilience and adaptability in the workplace and broader community.

SUMMARY:Canberra - ConnectSydney’s Asset Management Maturity Uplift in Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive live stream event hosted by the Canberra Chapter. Join local Asset Management Council members for an engaging evening as we gather together and dial into Sydney’s technical session\, “ConnectSydney’s Asset Management Maturity Uplift in Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract.” \nClick here to register\nAbout the Session: \nUnder the Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract (SRAPC)\, ConnectSydney assumed stewardship of a complex and highly visible road network within the Sydney Eastern Harbour Zone. Early delivery highlighted a range of asset management challenges common across the industry\, including reactive planning\, fragmented prioritisation\, limited assurance confidence\, and siloed decision-making across functions. \nThis presentation shares ConnectSydney’s asset management maturity journey\, focusing on the practical actions taken to address these challenges and uplift maturity in a live operational environment. It outlines how capability\, assurance\, prioritisation\, and cross-functional alignment were deliberately strengthened through targeted changes to roles\, governance\, decision frameworks\, and ways of working. \nRather than presenting theory\, the session demonstrates how asset-need-led planning\, balanced cost–risk–performance prioritisation\, and embedded assurance were translated into day-to-day business-as-usual practices. The presentation concludes by reflecting on the tangible outcomes achieved\, including improved decision quality\, clearer traceability\, and a measurable lift in client confidence and engagement—positioning ConnectSydney as a trusted asset steward for the Harbour Zone. \nThis is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights\, network with peers\, and enjoy some light refreshments and nibbles in a relaxed setting. \nWe look forward to welcoming you at the Canberra Chapter Meet! \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Max Dallarmi brings four decades of experience across the planning\, delivery and stewardship of complex road infrastructure\, spanning construction\, operations and asset management in highly regulated network environments.
