4. Asset Management Planning
AT prepared its first Asset Management Plan in 2012. The 2012 AMP:
       Integrated the systems and data of eight legacy councils
       Set out a plan to maintain the condition and value of AT assets
       Developed a framework of levels of service in response to customer needs
       Recommended maintenance and renewals budgets for inclusion in the Regional Land Transport Plan
        and in Auckland Council’s Long Term Plan to meet Auckland’s growth and economic development
        needs
The 2015 AMP is a major review of AT’s asset management practices and:
       Uses best practice modelling systems to develop whole of life strategies to maintain assets and to
        renew at the optimal time
       Includes more detailed consideration of levels of service for each class of asset. For example,
        bridges are renewed when they fall into “poor” condition, because the impacts of asset failure are so
        high. Less critical assets are renewed when their condition is “very poor”.
       Calculates the consequential impacts of AT’s capital investments on long term maintenance and
        renewals costs
       Advises on the consequences of different levels of funding for maintenance and renewals
Budgets for asset maintenance and renewals are linked to levels of service and risk as shown in Figure 3.
The main objective of Asset Management Planning is to achieve the right balance between these three
drivers.

Consequential opex
New transport assets, from whichever source, bring consequential operations, maintenance and renewals
requirements. The AMP estimates that 1.5% more assets are added to the network each year. The financial
impact of this is shown in Table 6. Over the coming 10 years, consequential opex totals $98.1 million in
additional maintenance and operations funding requirements, just to keep up with growth in the asset base.

The rate of growth in transport assets will accelerate as Auckland’s population continues to grow and as
initiatives including Strategic Housing Areas increase the supply of new housing. Preliminary calculations
suggest that this will increase consequential opex requirements by $600 per dwelling per year. This suggests
that the above consequential opex estimates, calculated based on past trends, could significantly
underestimate the costs associated with connecting more than 10,000 new homes to the transport network
each year, as envisaged by the Auckland Housing Accord.

                                                                   7
6. Asset Investment and Funding
The AMP development has informed the renewal and maintenance components of the 2015 Long Term Plan
and Regional Land Transport Plan. Key recommendations and decisions are summarised in Table 7.

                    Renewals are based on two funding scenarios:           (10 year totals,

                    *excludes PT services, corporate, and non-asset opex

Asset investment needs, maintenance and operations
Maintenance and asset-based operations are the second largest item of AT operational expenditure each
year, after public transport service contracts. Asset operations and maintenance requirements are assessed
and prioritised in the AMP based on:

   •       For the road network:
           o   Asset maintenance and operations costs, based on competitively tendered service delivery
               contracts and known historical costs of delivering agreed levels of service
           o   Consequential operational and maintenance requirements of significant new infrastructure
               planned to be added to the network
           o   Non-asset operational costs (mainly road safety) which are not set in the AMP but are
               included for context
   •       For the public transport network:
           o   PT facilities maintenance and operations costs, based on the hours of operation, frequency of
               services, customer levels of service and other cost drivers as set in the Regional Public
               Transport Plan, and the impact of approved changes to the current levels of service
Over the decade from 2016, consequential opex from growth as shown in Table 6 is the major factor driving
maintenance and operations funding needs.

Approved funding, maintenance and operations
The approved ATP budget does not make any provision for the impact of consequential opex. Road
maintenance budgets do not increase at all over the coming 10 years as shown in Figure 4 and Table 8.

Approved funding, renewals

In the Accelerated Transport Programme , renewals funding has been approved at close to recommended
levels for the first three years. However in the seven years from 2018/2019, renewals funding is set at a level
significantly lower than AT’s recommendation.

AT’s Renewals Optimisation Model is used to analyse the impacts on asset condition of the approved budget.
The results of this analysis are shown in Figure 6. Beyond 2018/2019, AT will not be in a position to maintain
assets in their current condition with approved levels of funding. By 2025, the proportion of assets in very
poor condition will have increased to 9.4%.

7. Network Asset Risk
Transport asset risks include death and serious injury risks. The list of negative outcomes that could result
from transport asset failure includes:
    •       Injury or death to transport users, operators or members of the public
    •       Reduced customer satisfaction, through impacts on safety, accessibility, convenience, reliability
            and/or resilience
    •       Damage to infrastructure or property
    •       Reduced public transport patronage
    •       Increased operating and maintenance costs
    •       Environmental impacts (e.g. pollution of waterways, air or soil)
AT has prepared an Asset Risk Management Plan which identifies the key transport asset risks and sets out
how those risks are managed and controlled by AT activities.
AT is represented on the Auckland Infrastructure Lifelines Group, which has identified priority routes and
transport facilities and their potentially vital contribution in extreme events including earthquake, volcano,
tsunami and cyclone hazards.
