NZ Asset Management – Review and Lessons Learnt, Ross Waugh
New Zealand’s local authorities manage various community assets, including land transport, water supply, wastewater, stormwater, parks, recreation, and property. Since the local government reforms and consolidations of 1989, these authorities have encountered numerous changes driven by best practices, legislation, and audit requirements.

North Shore City Council Wastewater Pump Station Management for the Next Generation, Pieter Stellingwerf, Ross Waugh
North Shore City Council (NSCC) is New Zealand’s fourth-largest city and has very popular swimming beaches. NSCC manages its own wastewater system including 85 pump stations with storage and failure of these can lead to the temporary closure of these swimming beaches.
This high consequence of failure has lead to the development of best practice management techniques by North Shore City Council. This lead to implementing the Avantis Computerised Maintenance Management System in 2003 for wastewater pump stations.
