Essentials Webinar: Asset Criticality Tool
26-Nov-2025
About this event
In early 2020, qldwater and Mackay, Whitsunday and Fraser Coast Regional Councils completed a joint research collaboration aimed at developing clear guidance for water service providers to assist in identifying critical assets, determining criticality ratings, and ultimately improve the risk management of critical assets. Leveraging off industry expertise, the three Councils agreed that they needed a consistent framework that was not overly complicated and could be aligned to each organisation’s risk appetite and their relative size.
The result is a Statewide Network Asset Criticality Guideline which allows the participating Councils, as well as other Queensland Water Service Providers, to take a risk-based approach in managing their assets. The joint approach helped to alleviate resource constraints often experienced by small and remote Councils.
At this webinar, Moira Zelinga from Clear Idea will describe both tools and the use of the tools. Some learnings will also be shared based on our experience of using the tools. Moira Zeilinga has over 30 years’ water and wastewater industry experience in Queensland.
