North Coast Community Housing chooses SPM Property |
|
SPM Property has been selected by the North Coast Community Housing Company (NCHHC) to support their asset management planning operations and to establish an accurate record of the condition of the 700 properties currently under management in the far North Coast region of New South Wales. The company is the largest Community Housing provider in the region.
The product will also be used to support the maintenance planning for the current stock as well as its future growth being sourced through stock transfers from Housing New South Wales; new acquisitions including re-developed properties and properties developed by NCCHC in partnership with other regional organisations.
Commenting on the announcement, Roger Jameson, SPM General Manager – Sales and Marketing said, “We are delighted to be working with NCHHC on this project and supporting their growth in what is a very exciting time for the community housing sector in Australia.
With the establishment of the National Affordable Housing Agreement and the National Partnership Agreement on Social Housing in 2009, it is essential that community housing providers have in-depth information on their asset base and to effectively plan for the future, thereby, ensuring the efficient use of the significant capital that is being made available by governments.
Our work with NCHHC follows on from the configuration of SPM Property at Housing New South Wales and its use at Housing and Community Services ACT (HACT) where it has been successfully deployed to support asset management planning across the HACT stock of 11,300 properties.” |

Commenting on the announcement, Roger Jameson, SPM General Manager - Sales and Marketing said, "This is another important milestone in our relationship with Spotless, following hot on the heels of the licensing of SPM Property for the Perth Convention Centre contract. The use of SPM software and consultancy services is gaining rapid traction across the tertiary education sector in Australia, with contracts already in existence with Spotless for University of New South Wales and the Southbank Institute of Technology in Brisbane. We look forward to working with Spotless and representatives from Edith Cowan University in ensuring that an asset management planning framework is effectively implemented based on the data models that will be defined and analysed in SPM Property." |

Unitec select SPM for Business Case Study |
|
Unitec Institute of Technology has selected SPM New Zealand to prepare a business case for the development of its Wairaka (Mt Albert) Campus and extensions to its Waitakere Campus. The business case will reflect Unitec's overall strategic directions and draw on work carried out by a number of architects, designers and urban planners that define options for the development of Unitec's regional network.
SPM will use its team of industry specialists to develop and integrate the information necessary to support the business case proposal. It will use relevant experience from other sectors and its suite of analytical tools and expert systems to develop and evaluate investment options. The information will provide Unitec with confidence to understands what is possible and the knowledge to select the right solution. SPM Property will be used to develop lifecycle models of current facilities and potential future facility options. SPM Projects will be used to understand the strategic capital planning and funding requirements, and the consequences of funding decisions.
David Long, SPM General Manager - New Zealand, said, "We were thrilled to be selected to deliver this important and exciting project for Unitec. The business case will have significant and long term implications for Unitec and for tertiary education generally in the region. Property assets, in particular, make an important contribution to the learning environment and to education outcomes. Helping Unitec to develop sustainable strategies that deliver its long term vision is something that will draw on the full range of our asset management skills and experience". |
