MBM is currently engaged by the Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT) to provide the following deliverables for all 41 sites:

Project Background and Scope

The Department of Employment, Small Business and Training (DESBT), in collaboration with the Department of Housing, Local Government, Planning and Public Works (QBuild), is undertaking a comprehensive asset and condition-based assessment of 41 TAFE campuses across Queensland. This initiative aims to establish a consistent and complete dataset for infrastructure and equipment assets to support strategic decision-making.

Project Challenges

A key challenge is working across 41 sites. The primary challenge lies in navigating the variability of asset types, conditions, and historical data quality across geographically dispersed locations, whilst delivering a unified, risk-informed dataset that supports long-term capital planning and operational decision-making.

MBM Solutions

Navigating the complexity of 41 geographically dispersed sites required a unified, risk-informed approach to asset intelligence. The variability in asset types, conditions, and historical data quality was mitigated through a centralised asset management platform. MBM were able to deliver a cohesive dataset that supported long-term capital planning and operational decision-making
