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.

Drawing on her work on the $46 billion Hunter Class Frigate Program\, Rachel will demonstrate how a disciplined application of asset management principles delivers real financial savings\, reduces schedule risk and strengthens engineering governance\, while improving the reliability and availability of complex naval systems. She will show how data-driven planning\, life-cycle optimisation and integrated logistics strategies translate directly into cost avoidance\, increased materiel readiness and higher-quality sustainment outcomes. With a background as a Royal Australian Navy Weapons Electrical Engineering Officer and a career supporting large acquisition and sustainment programs\, Rachel brings practical\, evidence-based insights into how value is created — and protected — when asset management is well embedded.\n\n\nMark Mackenzie\, Director\, One North\, will present a case study on how Kumba Iron Ore measurably improved fleet uptime through an approach that calculated savings and improvements with a high degree of accuracy. Both modelling and simulation were employed to project fleet availability targets. Mark has had a distinguished career in the Australian Army and has worked extensively in Australia and overseas across a variety of roles and industries. He is a Chartered Engineer\, a Certified Maintenance and Reliability Engineer\, and a Certified Fellow of Asset Management. He is also a Fellow of Engineers Australia and an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia.\n\nThe presentations will be followed by a Discussion Panel with Rachel Scott\, Mark Mackenzie\, Nick Phillips\, Mike Bordenaro and Peter Kohler to answer your questions. \nClick here to register URL:https://www.amcouncil.com.au/event/webinar-fleet-asset-management-for-the-lifecycle/ LOCATION:Online – Register to be sent your link CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260226T120000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260226T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T084905 CREATED:20260205T031222Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260205T031222Z UID:10052-1772107200-1772110800@www.amcouncil.com.au SUMMARY:Webinar - Squirrel Stores - why do they exist and options for removal DESCRIPTION:A “squirrel store” is\, as the name suggests\, a store of spares kept outside the main stores system and warehousing program. These stores are not measured or controlled for quantity and\, depending on storage practices\, may also be lacking in quality. The use of spares from these stores remains a hidden cost and can mask the true cost of maintaining plant and equipment. \nThere are many reasons squirrel stores come into being. These will be discussed\, along with how these extraneous stores can be eliminated. \nThe webinar will also cover real-world examples and solutions that may assist others in addressing the issue of squirrel stores. \nClick here to register \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the speaker: Tanya Viano is currently taking a hiatus from engineering. She holds a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering and a Master of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering. Tanya has spent 30 years working in industry\, predominantly in the oil and gas sector\, in roles across projects and operations\, and as a consultant. This has given her a wealth of experience. Tanya is passionate about reliability and asset management\, and she led the Enhanced Problem Solving Team within QGC (Shell)\, which tackled some of the most difficult reliability issues in the business. As a result\, Tanya was awarded a Shell Global Excellence Award for replicating the process across QGC.\n \n \n \n\n\n This session forms the first in a webinar series presented by MRiAM – Challenges Associated with Spares Management During the Operational Phase – Webinar Series. In 2024\, MRiAM presented a webinar series on managing spares\, including guidance on quantities and related considerations. Since then\, several forums have raised questions and prompted discussion about how to manage spares once they have been identified in the maintenance system and warehoused during the operational phase of a project. There has also been growing interest in related topics such as managing obsolete spares\, “squirrel stores”\, and maintaining spares holdings. The objective of this series is to address these topics and provide practical solutions from speakers who have identified these issues and can share proven approaches. Registering for this session will register you for all four sessions in the series.
