Local Governments across Western Australia face the ongoing challenge of building, operating and maintaining billions of dollars worth of vital infrastructure for their communities. Without adequate mechanisms in place, planning for sustainable community infrastructure can be a daunting and time consuming task. WAAMI is an asset management improvement programme that has been specifically designed for WA Local Governments to manage individual Council infrastructure needs with ease and efficiency.

WAAMI provides:

• A tailor made asset management improvement programme spread over 12-24 months to suit individual Council needs and resources;
• On site workshops by experienced asset management consultants;
• A review of the key asset management issues, barriers and capabilities through a comprehensive and confidential scorecard;
• A custom-made improvement action plan that ties in with the Council’s strategic plan and available resources;
• A renewal funding gap assessment;
• A financial modelling plan to determine asset expenditure and renewal funding required in order to meet the community’s desired service levels; and
• Continual support over the course of the Programme through phone and email contact.

To make asset management easier, the WAAMI Programme has been designed so that it can be undertaken by a single Local Government, or a regional grouping.
