As such\, the New Zealand Infrastructure Strategy Rautaki Hanganga highlights that a large part of New Zealand’s infrastructure deficit is the cost of maintaining and renewing existing infrastructure. \nTo manage the infrastructure challenges we face\, it is critical to get better use from this existing infrastructure\, and improve how we maintain and manage it. Geoff will place asset management within the greater national infrastructure challenge and discuss some of the knotty choices ahead\, as we grapple with the significant challenge of stewardship for the assets already around us. \nGeoff Cooper has a background in global policy having worked for the United Nations\, the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve. \nBefore becoming GM Strategy at Te Waihanga (the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission)\, Geoff worked as a Chief Economist at Auckland Council and at PwC. \nGeoff holds a Master of Economics with First Class Honours from the University of Auckland and a Master of Public Affairs from Princeton University. \n\n \nUnison’s experience through Cyclone Gabrielle\nMitch Graham\, Fault Avoidance & Constraints Engineer\, Unison\nIn February 2023 cyclone Gabrielle hit New Zealand. This was the costliest tropical cyclone on record in the southern hemisphere\, with total damages estimated to be at least $13.5 billion. The scale of damage and disruption to Unisons electricity distribution network was the most severe in living memory. This presentation will tell the story of Unisons response and ongoing recovery\, and how good asset management practices supported Unisons readiness and reduced the potential effects of such an event. \nMitch is a chartered electrical engineer and an asset management practitioner. Starting his career in the electricity distribution sector at Unison Networks\, Mitch cut his teeth in an operational engineering role within the Network Operation Centre.

Nearly a decade since its inception\, AMAF remains a key policy guiding asset management practices across government agencies. However\, in the face of tight financial constraints\, agencies are being forced to rethink their approach – balancing compliance\, service outcomes\, and operational efficiency with reduced funding. \n\n\nThis session will delve into how government agencies are adapting to funding challenges while maintaining their commitment to AMAF. We’ll compare the framework’s early vision with today’s reality and engage in a discussion on the current perceptions of government support. The interactive format of this in-person event will encourage audience participation\, including a live poll to capture industry sentiment. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into how AMAF continues to shape asset management in Victoria amid shifting financial landscapes. \n\nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nNicholas Phillips is the Executive Director and Principal Consultant of MACE Consulting (Aust) Pty Ltd specialising in Asset Management\, Lifecycle Cost and Performance Analysis\, and Reliability and Maintainability Analysis.
