Extending Lifecycle of Assets Using AUS-SPEC This paper provides an overview of using the AUS-SPEC specification Templates for the design, construction and maintenance of local infrastructure assets. The sustainability requirements are addressed by documenting products, materials and methods of construction that permit reduced water, energy and resource consumption and fewer emissions that contribute to climate change. Integration of sustainable practices into the management of community assets ensures that community wellbeing, environmental protection and economic prosperity are maintained for current and future generations. The AUS-SPEC specification system also promotes financial sustainability by being adaptable to different procurement methods and contract types and allows asset owners to balance the level of service provided with the maintenance and operations budget. |
