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.”

Spotless Services Australia has licensed SPM Property to support its asset management planning operations as part of its Public Private Partnership contract with Edith Cowan University in Perth, Western Australia.

The Edith Cowan University contract takes SPM's licensed software into double figures with Spotless, a reflection on the value that the applications are providing to this key Facilities Management provider.

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."
