Asset Management

Asset Management Plans help you understand what you own, its condition, and what it will take to keep your aquatic facility performing. Amotto Consultancy can develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your site or portfolio.

Planning for the Long-Term Performance of Your Facility

We work with you to build a clear picture of your pool, plant, equipment, and building infrastructure, and how each asset will need to be maintained, renewed, or replaced over time. This gives councils, retirement villages, schools and other aquatic facility operators the confidence to plan budgets and work programmes well in advance, rather than reacting to issues as they arise.

The Importance of an Asset Management Plan

An Asset Management Plan can be used to:

• Establish a comprehensive asset register recording the condition, age, and expected remaining life of key plant and equipment.
• Forecast renewal and replacement costs over a 10, 20 or 30-year horizon.
• Prioritise capital works and maintenance budgets based on risk and criticality.
• Support long-term financial planning and funding applications for councils and boards.
• Provide a robust, evidence-based tool to guide decision-making at a governance level.

Key Aspects of the Asset Management Plan

Our plans are built from a detailed on-site assessment of the facility, combined with an understanding of its operational model and usage. The level of detail is tailored to the size and complexity of the site, and can be developed for a single facility or across a portfolio to give a consolidated view of asset performance and investment needs across multiple locations.

Asset Management Plans typically cover:

• A full asset register, including condition ratings and estimated remaining useful life.
• Renewal and replacement cost forecasting.
• Risk assessment of critical plant and equipment.
• Alignment with compliance requirements under NZS 4441:2008 (Swimming Pool Design) and NZS 5826:2010 (Pool Water Quality).
• Recommendations for maintenance scheduling and levels of service.
• A framework that can be updated and revisited as the facility evolves.

Although Asset Management Plans can be developed for any facility, our work in this space has predominantly been for councils, retirement villages, and school aquatic facilities that are managing significant infrastructure investment.
