A Breakthrough Year: Ten Councils Join Asset Vision in 2025 … and Counting

The momentum continues… This year has marked a turning point for local government asset management, as councils across Australia accelerate their shift toward modern, connected platforms. Since announcing six councils in four months, Asset Vision has now welcomed four more councils — ten in total for 2025 — with additional partners expected before the end of the year.

Our latest addition, the City of West Torrens (SA), reflects a growing national movement toward smarter asset management. Their adoption of Asset Vision underscores what we are hearing across the sector: councils want tools that strengthen service delivery, support their teams, and make it easier to manage infrastructure for their communities.

These new partnerships join earlier 2025 clients including Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Yarriambiack, Greater Dandenong, Mundaring, Gannawarra, Swan Hill, and Buloke, representing a mix of regional and metropolitan environments across three states. Each council brings different operational challenges, but all share the same goal — improving reliability, transparency, and community outcomes.

Why Councils are Moving Now

Councils are facing increasing pressure to do more with tighter budgets, aging assets, and rising community expectations. This is driving a strong appetite for technology that helps them:

  • Simplify inspections and maintenance
  • Strengthen compliance
  • Deliver real-time visibility
  • Reduce administrative burden
  • Connect field teams, engineering, finance, and leadership

More than ever, councils are telling us they want a platform that enables them to see everything, act quickly, and trust the data. Asset Vision’s combination of AI-powered inspections, GIS-enabled asset registers, and mobile-first workflows is helping them get there. Because Asset Vision deploys quickly and is easy for field staff and office teams to use, councils are seeing immediate improvements in visibility and workflow efficiency.

Demand for AI & Connected Workflows

Interest in AutoPilot, our AI-driven inspection tool, continues to grow. Councils adopting the technology are capturing their networks faster, identifying defects with improved accuracy, and building visual audit records that support transparency and better decision-making.

Councils choosing the full Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) platform are seeing equally strong results. By consolidating asset registers, integrating contractor workflows, managing valuations, and overseeing both maintenance and capital works in one place, organisations are achieving more consistent reporting. The flexibility to start with a single module and expand over time has made adoption even easier.

A Shift in the Sector

The pace of adoption in 2025 suggests more than a technology trend — it signals a shift in how councils think about risk, service delivery, and the role of data in decision-making.

Asset Vision Co-CEO, Lucas Murtagh, puts it simply:

“Councils want systems that reduce friction, strengthen compliance, and give them confidence in the decisions they make every day. Ten new councils in one year tells us the demand is real – and growing.”

A Smarter Future for Councils 

More councils are now progressing through evaluation and discovery phases, and several are expected to come online before year-end. As this momentum continues, Asset Vision is emerging as a leading national platform for councils seeking practical innovation and operational excellence.

Most importantly, 2025 has shown that technology-led asset management is no longer a future ambition for local government — it is a priority today. And Asset Vision remains committed to partnering with councils every step of the way, building smarter, safer, and more sustainable communities together
