Asset Management
This section maintains information on the details of Council physical assets including their makeup, condition, cost, scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, expected working life and value. The information assists Council in making decisions in regard to the purchase and replacement of items.
To facilitate the management of Council's $1.5+ billion asset portfolio, a new Asset Management System is currently being implemented. This system will ensure assets such as drainage, water and sewerage systems, roads, waste management facilities, buildings and recreational assets are maintained and renewed on a priority basis. This software also facilitates best practice in asset related financial management.
Building Projects
This section undertakes the day to day maintenance and upgrading of Council buildings and facilities. Additionally they undertake construction of larger infrastructure projects. These projects include such diverse jobs as the Chinese Pavilion at the Botanic Gardens, Norville Park Sewerage Pump Station and Lake Ellen Heritage Hub. Project management of design and construction for large ventures is also part of this portfolio eg Airport Precinct Development.
Design
This section is tasked to provide accurate civil design and survey to deliver Council's Capital Works Programme and associated municipal infrastructure. This incorporates the design of water and sewer reticulation systems, waste facilities, roads and drainage networks, car parks and open space structures across the region. Other areas of responsibility include:

Global Positioning System (GPS) Infrastructure
Many residents may not be aware, but your Council has recently established a permanent GPS base station in partnership with the Federal Government agency, Geoscience Australia. The base station provides GPS signals that allow Council to quickly, efficiently and accurately record the location of assets such as water hydrants and valves, sewer manholes and culverts....ultimately providing better information to ratepayers. It is the only Local Government partnership of its kind in Australia and provides signal data to a national framework. In turn this helps our community by improving regional satellite orbits and helps progress scientific research in this field.
Fleet Services
Fleet Services provides servicing, maintenance and repair throughout Council's region for a plant and vehicle fleet of approximately 600 units, as well as over 800 items of minor construction equipment, the Waste Collection fleet, SES and HACC vehicles. They are also responsible for fleet asset management, purchasing, replacement and disposal.
