NSW Public Works has evaluated the condition of more than 500 buildings at more than 90 sites owned by Crown Lands, providing updated asset data to support future maintenance.

Background

NSW Public Works (NSWPW) and NSW Crown Lands formed a partnership in July 2022 and developed a scope to improve the Asset Management Maturity of Crown Lands.

  • Challenge: Crown Lands is traditionally a Land Manager and hasn’t viewed itself as an Asset Management Agency.
  • Approach: Improve capability, data knowledge and processes to meet TPP 19-07.
  • Solution: Work with Agency Partner with agility to collect asset data with varying requirements.

A flexible project plan was required to enable surveyors to communicate with regional teams and plan access and assess risks. The project plan also allowed for a dynamic decision-making process on the ground by the surveyors to add more asset groups to the assessments as needed, determined by the elements discovered.
