Enhancing asset strategies to strengthen financial sustainability
1. Enhancing Stormwater Asset Management
strategies to strengthen financial sustainability
at Logan City Council
By Ashish Shah
2. Logan City
– Heart of South East
Queensland
– In between Brisbane and Gold
Coast
– 6th
largest Council in Australia
– 293,000 residents*
– Population is increasing by 2%
each year
– 960 sq km land area
3. Logan City Council
– $775.5 million 2013/2014
annual budget
– $4.28 billion in assets
– 2,138 kilometres of roads
(including 85 kilometres of
unsealed roads) and 1200 km
of Stormwater Concrete pipes
– 50* bridges
– 871 parks and reserves
4. At Logan
• Logan City Council's (LCC) Financial Sustainability Strategy
identifies and plans to address some concerns over
Council's future forecast net operating surplus/deficits which
have been and are forecast to be in deficit for a number of
years.
• Council's forward estimates presented in the strategy
indicate that due to the levels of depreciation, Council's
operating revenues will need to be increased even further to
match Council's operating costs.
• As it stands throughout the 10 year time horizon of the
model, Council is not fully funding depreciation.
5. Why SW AM Project?
• to assist with Council’s financial
sustainability in the era of demanding
funding priorities, growing and expanding
asset bases and increasing community
expectations
• to understand the abnormality between
the renewal expenditure trend and
demand in comparison to historical
financial reporting which was based on
traditional accepted useful lives.
6. SW Asset Mgmt
• Improving the data quality, confidence and
performance expectation of SW Assets.
• The significance of the asset data, current
replacement costs and life expectancy has
drastically increased as Australian Local
Governments have been required to adopt
accrual accounting practices and meet related
regulations.
– Advanced maturity/ research/ modelling in road
space but SW still poor cousin!!
7. Focus
Enhancing asset management strategies to
strengthen financial sustainability
– Asset management strategies towards the long term viability
– Reflecting on the strategies of optimal treatments and asset
performance through improved knowledge/ confidence and
evidence

9. How - Methodology
• Know me to be informed:
– Review of asset register & componentization*,
– unit rates,
– renewal project data and condition data to
recommended appropriate useful lives,
– unit rates and valuation methodology to be
supported by additional condition data capture/
assessment
• Simple analogy to Roads (Seal/ Surface,
Pavement, Subbase, Earthworks)

11. Key ingredients
• Stormwater Pipes, Pits, Headwalls and Culverts
better aligns with modern asset management
practices
• Renewal (relining, part pit rehab) from no.
of projects and industry research
– Greater than 1m deep, 600m or larger, a good
economical candidate of renewal treatment
• Pipe, trench (incl of base)
12. Continue…
• incorporating asset performance observations
(CCTV, age and historical field knowledge)
– 6km of 1200km pipe network
• Risk based sampling
– Visual validation (of no significant issues)
• Unit rates review
– National benchmarking (JRA and associates)

15. Outcome
• The improved alignment of Asset
Management practices and financial
reporting of stormwater assets has
resulted in a $6.4 Million reduction in
annual reported depreciation.
• This is a material reduction in
depreciation expense for this asset
portfolio.
16. Next phases
Collaboration, resource sharing and open
data (across Public Sector)
• Further componentation (reflection of design,
construction and asset life cycle practices)
• Seeking support and collaboration from many
Councils for additional evidence and calibration
• Opendata standard for asset management data
sharing
• Industry collaboration and research partners
• Learning and knowledge share with other pipe
asset owners (water, wastewater and gas)

18. Collaboration
The larger the
•benchmarking base,
•asset performance data,
•supporting analysis and input
for collective intelligence from industry, the
broader and robust would be the methodology
and outcomes for all of us to share and benefit
from

Editor's Notes
Lets start with putting geographical and statistics @ Logan
- Its by population (and not geographical area!!!) of course
Lets start with putting geographical and statistics @ Logan
Roads are the elephants in the room
A collaborative reform project was undertaken to review the performance of Logan City Council’s stormwater asset portfolio. This was a significant project with the commitment of Council’s senior management along with representatives from the Queensland Treasury Corporation. The overall aim of the project was to assist with Council’s financial sustainability in the era of demanding funding priorities, growing and expanding asset bases and increasing community expectations. The project included the review of asset management practices with the aim of better alignment between asset management and financial reporting result in order to close the lifecycle funding gap.
Improving the data quality, confidence and performance expectation of buried assets has been a continuous improvement agenda for all Local Government for many decades. The significance of the asset data, current replacement costs and life expectancy has drastically increased as Australian Local Governments have been required to adopt accrual accounting practices and meet related regulations.

Revaluation Comments
Large diameter pipes (&gt;600mm) split into pipe and trench component (modern equivalent) to account for pipe relining on large pipes
Pit split into 2 components - Short life component (lid & lintel) & short life component (Shaft, Chamber & Trough)
And just be aware that I may jump from one terminology to the other!!!
Roads are the elephants in the room
They have been used reciprocally to mean the same thing
