Asset Vision was proud to step into the spotlight as a Gold Sponsor at this year’s IPWEA Victoria Public Works Conference, held in Melbourne, one of the most significant annual events for public works professionals in local government.

Bringing together engineers, asset managers, consultants and council leaders from across the state, the conference was a powerful platform to share ideas, explore innovations, and tackle the infrastructure challenges facing communities today.

Driving Innovation for Local Government

A Spotlight on Moyne Shire Council

Engaging with the Sector

How Asset Vision’s digital solutions are helping local councils streamline asset management and maintenance.

Since 2010, Australian-owned Asset Vision has been at the forefront of digital innovation in infrastructure asset management. Originally designed to support road networks, the platform has evolved to manage a wide variety of council assets—ranging from bridges and tunnels to parks, stormwater systems, and public buildings.

Today, local governments across the country rely on Asset Vision to centralise inspections, automate maintenance, and improve reporting efficiency across their operations.

Trusted by Councils Nationwide

From Moyne Shire in Victoria to Horsham Rural City and the Shire of East Pilbara in Western Australia, councils are using Asset Vision to reduce admin, improve visibility, and deliver better outcomes for their communities.

In 2022, the Shire of East Pilbara, Australia’s largest local government area—selected Asset Vision to manage assets across its vast 372,000 km² footprint. The council now tracks over 40 asset types with the platform, including airports, water treatment facilities, and remote infrastructure.

Closer to home, Moyne Shire Council has expanded its use of Asset Vision since 2013, from Department of Transport-contracted road inspections to now include trees, playgrounds, and council-owned buildings. According to Infrastructure Surveillance Officer Stephen Arundell, recent upgrades like map-based job displays have made planning and inspections faster and more efficient.

Designed for the Way Councils Work

At the core of Asset Vision’s platform is a user-friendly mobile app that enables field teams and contractors to capture photos, track jobs, and update asset conditions from anywhere. The system’s flexibility also allows it to be tailored to each council’s specific needs—with the Asset Vision team regularly building out new functionality based on client feedback.

As an Australian company, we understand the challenges councils face—especially around funding, compliance, and climate resilience. Whether it’s helping respond to flooding events or streamlining reports for disaster recovery funding, Asset Vision is built for the realities of local government operations.

“Our focus has always been on making asset inspectors’ work easier, safer, and more effective,” says CEO Damian Smith. “We’re committed to continuing that through innovation and close collaboration with councils.”Since 2010, Australian-owned Asset Vision has been providing smart digital solutions for asset management to local governments, road authorities, and civil construction companies. The platform, initially focused on road networks, has expanded to manage diverse infrastructure including bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, and public facilities.

In 2022, Australia’s largest local government area, the Shire of East Pilbara, selected Asset Vision for managing assets across its 372,571 square kilometers. The system currently monitors about 44 different asset types, from airports to water treatment plants, buildings, and roads.

Local Governments Optimise Infrastructure with Asset Vision’s Smart Management Platform

Asset Vision’s core strength lies in its centralized platform that connects asset owners and service providers. Through a dedicated app, users can monitor assets, upload photos, track jobs, and schedule maintenance from any smart device.

Moyne Shire in Victoria has used Asset Vision since 2013, gradually expanding its implementation from DoT-contracted road maintenance to council-owned assets. Infrastructure Surveillance Officer Stephen Arundell highlights how the system has evolved to improve efficiency, now featuring map-based job displays that optimize inspection routes.

The platform’s flexibility allows customization to client needs, with the Asset Vision team often building additional functionality to address specific requirements. As an Australian-owned company, Asset Vision understands local challenges, including weather events like flooding, and develops solutions accordingly.

CEO Damian Smith emphasizes the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, applying technology to make asset inspectors’ jobs safer and more efficient.
