Role	Asset Strategic Planning, and Capital Works forecasting

Project Description

Capworks Management, in association with PTW Architects / Health Science Planning Consultants, has been leading the Area’s Project Director Service in the preparation of an Asset Strategic Plan.

New England Area Health Service, under CEO Stuart Schneider, has adopted a farsighted approach to its forward planning. Service Plans for all of the Area’s 31 facilities have been completed, providing a sound base for the completion of the Asset Strategic Plan that will enable accurate assessment of the existing service/asset links at each site.

At the same time New England Area Health Service is taking a leading role in the implementation of the Health AMMS project, with data collection commenced at a number of the sites and a rollout of the system planned for completion by the end of 2003.

This data, matched with the Service Plan outcomes, will enable informed decisions to be taken on the maintenance, expansion, or contraction of built assets in an Area wide service provision context.

Capworks has also been involved in an assessment of the Area’s capital works requirements over the same 10 year period to enable judgements to be made on the impacts of redevelopment on recurrent liabilities.
