SUMMARY:Christchurch - Inland and Coastal Water Assets - Supporting Economic Development - Te Waipounamu
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful discussion on water assets in Te Waipounamu. We’ll hear from speakers sharing practical insights into the role of water assets in supporting local and regional growth: \n\nRangitata Diversion Race – Applying Asset Management Strategy – Kees Bentjes (Engineering Manager) and Tony McCormack (Chief Executive)\nMarine Asset Management at Lyttleton Port Company – William Campbell (Engineer – Ports and Coastal Marine\, WSP) and Tristan Williams (Head of Maintenance and Security\,\n\nA special thank you to Beca for generously hosting this event at their Christchurch office. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to connect\, learn\, and discuss how asset management supports sustainable economic development across inland and coastal environments. \nThe event will be held at the Beca Offices in Christchurch and will also be streamed live for participants who wish to join remotely. \nClick here to register \nMarine Asset Management at Lyttlelton Port Company \nAsset management of aging marine structures is vital to maintain operations within a port. Lyttelton Port Company (LPC)\, like many ports\, has a diverse range of assets\, with some structures dating back to the 1800’s and the newest structures being completed in 2020. Over time there has been changes in shipping and operations\, with many structures currently being used for vessels and traffic that was never intended. However\, with time pressures\, ever changing trade demands\, sustainability and large capital costs; extending the life of existing assets\, rather than replacement\, is often the pragmatic and preferred option. This presentation discusses the overall annual asset management program at LPC that has been developed and implemented over the last 20+ years through close collaboration between WSP (previously Opus) and LPC and how it has improved the operational efficiency at the port \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			William is a civil engineer with 6 years of full-time experience and two four-month internships in the prior two years in ports and marine engineering\, mainly focused on structural condition assessment of port infrastructure and implementation of repair strategies. He has led the Lyttelton Port annual inspection programme for WSP for the last 3 years\, working closely alongside Tristan and his team\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Tristan has worked at Lyttelton Port for 30 years and is currently the Head of Maintenance and Security. He’s been involved in the full spectrum from hands-on building and maintaining to leading teams to being in charge of the port assets and therefore has an in-depth understanding of what it takes to keep the Port operational.\n		\n			\n		 \nRangitata Diversion Race – Applying Asset Management Strategy\n\nBuilt in 1944 as public infrastructure\, then privatised in 1990\, the RDR has a chequered history of great engineering\, pro-active\, reactive\, precise and not-so-precise maintenance and renewal. Picking up 80 years of incomplete information and an uncertain future to form asset management tactics and consider funding has interesting challenges. We highlight some of these within the overview of this unique infrastructure.\n \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Tony McCormick is the Chief Executive of RDR Management Ltd (RDRML)\, overseeing the operation and strategic direction of the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR)\, New Zealand’s largest water supply scheme. With extensive experience in water management and infrastructure\, he leads the organisation in sustainably delivering reliable water for irrigation\, hydroelectric generation\, and stockwater supply. Tony is focused on securing long-term consents and maintaining RDRML’s role as a cornerstone of regional prosperity.\n		\n			\n		 \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Kees Beentjes is the Engineering Manager for the RDR with a focus on the long-term reliability of the assets. With a background in both industry and asset management consulting Kees has the understanding and experience to move the care of assets from reactive to reliability for the prosperity of our region for current and future generations.

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.
