Hi Ben,

I'll definitely be interested to hear your opinion on AMPs. I am reviewing the City of Whittlesea's AMPs right now, so it is good timing.

I have particular feelings about AMPs. I'm going to attempt to read through all of the amazing work you've done on this website Wayne and get back to you on this.

Asset Value for Money: Asset Value for Money

Local Government Victoria's Sustaining Local Assets Policy requires that an Asset Management Plan justify the contribution of each asset in terms of value for money for the council.

This seems like a pretty tricky requirement to satisfy to me.

Can anyone out there share if & how they managed to satisfy it?

Generic Asset Management Plans for Queensland Councils: Generic Asset Management Plans for Queensland Councils

The Queensland Government has recently circulated a list of minimum requirements for Asset Management Plans. I would like to develop some generic AMPs based on these requirements and publish them here.

To get the ball rolling I have started work on an AMP template for Stormwater Drainage Assets. I would really appreciate any feed back about the template, and I think if a few people were willing to help develop it, it could become an excellent free resource for Queensland and other Councils.

Even if you don't have time to help out with its development, please feel free to use, copy and modify it in anyway you see fit.

Minimum Requirements for Asset Management Plans: Minimum Requirements for Asset Management Plans

The Queensland Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation has circulated a list of minimum requirements for asset management plans and a list of asset classes and asset sub-classes that should be included within a plan. I was wondering if those Queensland Councils that have yet to draft AMPs are planning to base them on these minimum requirements, and if they might be interested in drafting the plans collaboratively?

I realise that much that goes into an AMP is specific to individual Councils, but I can think of a few things that collaboration could make easier.

Risk identification for example. It might be easier for a group Councils to brainstorm a list of possible risks than for a single Council to do so.
Similarly if we could develop a list of maintenance activities it would make a good check list for Councils when they are developing a Maintenance Plan. I can think of a dozen or more additional examples and 'm sure there are many more than that.

If any one is interested please let me know, in the mean time I will post any helpful bits of information I can think of to the site.
