SUMMARY:Sydney - ConnectSydney's Asset Management Maturity Uplift in Sydney Roads Asset Performance Contract
DESCRIPTION:Under 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. \nClick here to register \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.

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. 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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Sean Caldwell\, Director of Asset Management & Engineering\, will explore the Sydney Metro Agency’s approach to asset management within a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) context\, providing attendees with insights into the operational and contractual complexities faced in delivering major transport infrastructure. \nClick here to register\n  \nKey areas covered will include: \n\nHow PPP contracts operate within Sydney Metro.\nThe evolution of these PPPs over time.\nThe treatment of standards and how Sydney Metro’s approach has developed.\nAsset management practices within PPP frameworks at Sydney Metro.\n\nThe presentation will highlight the challenges of managing owned assets within a dynamic contractual landscape. It will examine how Sydney Metro has responded to legislative and standards changes over time\, and how these have been incorporated into more recent contracts. \nA high-level summary will outline how the initial approach to standards has shifted\, the drivers behind these changes\, and the implications for both new and existing contracts—particularly in the context of augmenting current Operations and Maintenance (O&M) phase contracts with additional requirements. The case of the Northwest project and the development of new standards will be discussed\, along with how Sydney Metro has built on this foundation to ensure future PPPs adhere to critical standards. \nA practical example will be shared on how changes to legislation—specifically around the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI)—were implemented during the O&M phase\, illustrating the challenges of enacting legislative changes within PPP contracts and their asset management implications. \nThe session will conclude with an overview of Sydney Metro’s current approach to managing owned assets in this contractual environment\, identifying the key tasks considered critical to success\, the mechanisms used to provide assurance in contractor-delivered activities\, and how the relationship with the O&M contractor shapes Sydney Metro’s involvement and approach to managing disputes. \nClick here to register\n\n  \nAbout the Speaker:\nSean Caldwell\, Director Asset Management & Engineering\, Sydney Metro\nSean has worked in the Rail Industry for the last 24 years\, originally from the UK\, Sean trained as a Signalling Engineer and has spent his career working across the UK\, Australia and New Zealand within Signalling Testing and Commissioning.

SUMMARY:Sydney - Asset Management Evolution in the Age of the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:The drive towards a sustainable future is reshaping the global landscape and has consequently moved to the forefront in the world of asset management. Since COP21 in 2015\, organisations and governments have began addressing the huge challenge of decarbonisation. Since infrastructure\, construction and operation constitutes 70% of global GHG emissions\, sustainable asset strategies are a key enabler of this global ambition. \nThe energy transition transcends the energy sector\, impacting organisations across the board. From utilities to transportation\, and from manufacturing to public services\, every asset portfolio is undergoing a pivotal change. Where once the triad of risk\, performance\, and cost dictated asset management\, we now witness an incremental fourth dimension – sustainability. \nAsset management principles are also evolving. The Institute of Asset Management’s Asset Anatomy’s fourth edition explicitly recognises the urgent need to embed ESG considerations\, carbon abatement\, and circular economy principles into asset management methodologies. This shift majorly attributes to the evolution of the 6-box capability model into a more holistic 10 Box perspective. \nThis presentation will unpack these changes and explore examples of asset portfolios around the world effectively applying these new and evolved capabilities\, by employing novel renewable solutions\, as they advance through the energy transition. \n  \nClick here to register\nThis is an in person event. \n  \n\nAbout the Speaker:\nEmily Mulcair\, Manager\, KPMG\nEmily is a Manager in KPMG’s Engineering and Asset Management team. Spending her early career in Ireland working on biomethane and hydrogen feasibility and detailed design projects\, Emily now consults on largescale energy system reviews\, maintaining a passion for the integration of renewable gas into the global energy mix in the transition to net zero.

SUMMARY:Sydney - Securing Your Asset Management Budget
DESCRIPTION:Asset managers are often pawns in achieving an organisation’s desired balance of “cost\, risk\, and performance”. Put another way\, when the numbers don’t add up\, one or more of these three characteristics must change— but which? Two of the characteristics are readily evident and measurable\, while risk is not. Achieving desired performance along with budget cuts seems seductively possible— for a while. But like gravity\, the inevitable increase in risk exposure\, in the form of deteriorating reliability and availability\, takes hold. Like gravity and mass\, reliability and availability possess inertia. Thus\, by the time the impacts of budget cuts become evident\, the originator has taken their bonus and left the scene of the crime\, leaving a successor with the hard sell of recovery\, which may take years of additional expenditure. Successful asset managers understand the importance of protecting their budget through the defensibility of every line item of expenditure. This presentation by Jim Kennedy will explore the production of a defensible preventive maintenance program as an essential core of any asset management plan. Key to this exploration is “risk and maths”\, noting that it is not the task that determines the budget cost but how often the task must be done to assure desired performance. \nClick here to register\n  \n\nAbout the speaker:\nJames (Jim) Kennedy\, Director\, Interlogis Consulting Pty Ltd; Founding Chair and Past Sensei\, Asset Management Council (Australia); and Past Member IEC TC56 – Dependability Standards.\n \nJim is a Mechanical Engineer with postgraduate qualifications in Risk Management and also in Maintenance Engineering and Management from Swinburne University in Melbourne. He has over 55 years’ experience in maintenance and asset management in the aerospace\, rail\, power\, water\, and defence industries. \nFor the last 30 years\, Jim has been directly involved in asset management activities\, including 9 years as Technical Director of the Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia (MESA) and 8 years as Chair and Board member of the Asset Management Council. He has authored two manuals on Reliability Centred Maintenance and Asset Management and has presented 70+ papers in Australia\, Europe\, the Middle East\, Africa\, and South America. \nOver the last 15 years\, Jim has worked part-time with Australian Maritime Defence in adapting an evolving asset management discipline to a military environment with a long history. Jim’s standards activity in the IEC Technical Committee TC56 includes either new or revised standards for Reliability\, Maintenance and Maintainability\, Support and Supportability\, Dependability Specifications\, and Reliability Centred Maintenance.
