Fleet is often the silent enabler behind essential local government services—waste collection, parks maintenance, community transport, and emergency response all rely on well-managed vehicles and plant. In this session, attendees will explore how fleet assets underpin service delivery and why they deserve the same strategic attention as roads, buildings, and other infrastructure.
Tailored for engineers and executives, this session will highlight the importance of adequate budget allocation to ensure the fleet can support agreed service levels, meet compliance obligations, and adapt to changing community expectations. Delegates will walk away with the tools to:
1) Assess the current fleet management maturity within their organisation
2) Understand how fleet performance directly affects service levels outlined in the Asset Management Plan
3) Recognise that not all fleet assets carry the same risk profile or operational priority, requiring a more nuanced, service-driven approach to planning and investment.
