SUMMARY:Canberra - Building Resilient Assets in an Era of Climate Extremes
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\, “Building Resilient Assets in an Era of Climate Extremes.” \nClick here to register \nAbout the Session: \n\nThe 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. \n\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			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. She has more than fifteen years’ experience helping organisations to understand and manage risks and opportunities relating to climate change\, community resilience\, and a low-carbon future.\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Michael Drayton is a Market and Product Specialist at Moody’s RMS. He joined RMS in the UK in 1996 as a model developer\, working on extreme weather models for North Atlantic hurricanes\, European windstorms\, and UK floods. 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: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. As Network Needs Manager at ConnectSydney for the past five years\, he has led asset management activities for the Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract in the Harbour Zone\, providing strategic and tactical direction across asset planning\, compliance\, sustainability and continuous improvement\, in alignment with TfNSW stewardship principles. He is responsible for developing and maintaining strategic and tactical asset management plans\, embedding ISO 55000-aligned practices\, and driving reliability-based maintenance and renewal strategies across a diverse portfolio of road\, bridge\, tunnel and pavement assets. With a strong background in civil engineering and program delivery\, Max works closely with leadership and operational teams to translate asset data and performance insights into practical\, risk-based decisions that improve network outcomes\, strengthen safety and sustainability performance\, and support long-term network resilience.\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Syed Kazmi is a Strategic Asset Manager at ConnectSydney\, responsible for asset stewardship across the Harbour Zone under the Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract (SRAPC).
