Smarter Asset Management for Growing Communities: Maintenance to Capital

Join your MWA colleagues for an informative webinar on smarter asset management for councils, focused on connecting maintenance decisions with long-term capital planning to support sustainable budgets.

Webinar Overview
Councils are under increasing pressure to do more with less, while still delivering safe, reliable assets that meet community expectations. This session explores practical ways to improve the link between field data, inspection and maintenance workflows, and capital investment planning, so decisions are based on consistent, defensible evidence.

Presented by James Esson (Asset Vision) and Nicola Daaboul (Modelve), the webinar will cover how councils can strengthen the quality of asset information, reduce manual effort, and move from reactive maintenance to more planned, confident decision-making. The session will also look at how best-practice asset management frameworks can support governance, accountability, and long-term financial sustainability, particularly in funding-constrained environments.
