It sets clear asset information requirements\, embeds ISO 19650-aligned ways of working in live projects\, and transfers knowledge through shadow consulting so the council team can lead without ongoing external support. \nThe work improved handover readiness and reduced information chasing and rework. The delivery milestone was a digital twin water network pilot (March 2025) bringing together GIS\, hydraulic modelling and SCADA to support day-to-day operational decisions. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Juan Martinez brings a unique blend of experience from both the private consultancy sector and local government\, offering deep insights into the operational and strategic challenges faced on each side.

In 2025\, a comprehensive AS/ISO 55001-aligned Asset Management Maturity Assessment demonstrated measurable uplift: 4 major gaps fully closed\, 10 materially progressed\, and only 1 legacy gap outstanding. \nIn the time between the two assessments\, a sustained program of design\, implementation\, and optimisation of Asset Management artifacts\, processes and procedures have been implemented. The implementation of the mature Asset Management System has required consistent effort\, heavy stakeholder engagement\, regular leadership alignment and involvement\, and a lot of passion and enthusiasm from the team. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n April Jewell is the Asset Management Systems Lead at EnergyAustralia URL:https://www.amcouncil.com.au/event/webinar-closing-the-gaps-a-decade-of-measurable-asset-management-improvement-at-energyaustralia/ LOCATION:Online – Register to be sent your link CATEGORIES:Power,Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260922T130000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20260922T133000 DTSTAMP:20260814T041922 CREATED:20260811T051714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260811T051714Z UID:10851-1790082000-1790083800@www.amcouncil.com.au SUMMARY:Webinar - Transforming Infrastructure Decision Making: Aqwest's Strategic Decommissioning and Infrastructure Prioritisation Framework DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on how Aqwest\, in partnership with BetterAIM\, developed a transparent\, corporate-objective-aligned decision framework to address increasing climate risk\, ageing infrastructure and uncertainty around which assets should be renewed\, retained or decommissioned within the Bunbury Water Supply Scheme. \nThe co-designed methodology integrates weighted strategic objectives\, risk and benefit scoring\, and pre- and post-mitigant analysis to prioritise activities across the entire scheme. The framework transformed reactive project listings into structured\, evidence-based infrastructure governance. \nThe framework has reshaped the Strategic Asset Plan and long-term water strategy\, strengthened Board confidence\, and is being embedded more broadly within the organisation. It represents a significant innovation in infrastructure planning under uncertainty. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Cameron Jessup is the Regional Director – Queensland / Technical Director – Water Services Advisory at BetterAIM.
