Local Government
Local Governments face increasing pressure to deliver reliable services while maintaining ageing infrastructure. SAS-AM partners with councils to turn these challenges into opportunities through data-driven decision-making. With our support, councils can optimise resources, demonstrate compliance, and build resilience into critical assets.

An independent assessor gives councillors, auditors and the community an objective view of asset management practice. IAM endorsement adds independent assurance that the assessor is competent, and SAS Asset Management is the only IAM Endorsed Assessor headquartered in Victoria.
A strategy should link asset performance to the services the community relies on. It sets out asset management objectives, service levels, the approach to risk and renewal, data and system improvements, and how the long term financial plan funds the work, within the council's legislative obligations.
Councils can use the data they already hold to forecast deterioration, predict failures and compare renewal scenarios. Analytics and machine learning turn condition, inspection and work order data into evidence for long term asset strategies and budget submissions.
It is a structured evaluation of how well a council manages its assets, scored against ISO 55001 and the GFMAM Landscape subjects. SAS-AM is an IAM Endorsed Assessor, and each assessment ends with a practical improvement roadmap. Try our free maturity self assessment first.
By spending where risk and service need are highest rather than spreading money evenly. That means reliable condition data, clear service levels, and renewal priorities based on the consequence of failure, so councils can show the community what each funding choice delivers.
Yes. The Local Government Act 2020 (Vic) requires each council to develop, adopt and keep in force an asset plan covering at least the next ten years. A good asset plan connects condition, service levels and long term financial planning, so the numbers in it can be defended to the community.
