Commencement – November 2023

Project Budget – $600K

We have been engaged to assist Council with implementing a new LGA-wide integrated Parking Enterprise Management System (PEMS) including 48 new paid parking meters across 12 sites; implementation of a digital mobile licence plate recognition enforcement system (MLPR); the Strathfield Select Permit Scheme; the implementation of a new computer database system, a website permit portal for permit registrations and the introduction of a new AutoISSUE fines enforcement system.

We established effective project management methodology and expertise to ensure positive project deliverables and process & system changes all within the establishment of an approved governance structure which promoted close collaboration with Council’s key internal stakeholders who participated and worked closely to deliver the project.

This project is being delivered in four (4) stages, with Stage 1 completed and Stage 2 nearing completion.

Commencement – July 2023

Project Budget – $300K

We provided Council with project and contract management services overseeing the public tender procurement of providers for the installation and management of advertising assets on selected new and existing bus shelters and we are now managing the ‘roll-out’.

Each site is carefully assessed to ensure that all safety & design standards are met, including liaison with key stakeholders as required. Twenty-five (25) of the thirty-nine (39) shelters have been implemented to date, the remaining expected to be installed within this financial year.

We are also managing improvements to Council’s fifty (50) non-advertising shelters under the Contract, for ongoing maintenance & cleansing once upgraded. This will ensure that Council’s entire bus shelter assets are optimised over the 10-year term of the Contract.

Ku-ring-gai Council engaged Stefan Consulting to assist Council to modernise its building assets, optimise ongoing operational and maintenance costs; identify asset type and function; develop criteria and guidelines; improve strategic decision making & create a modern buildings portfolio.

Working in partnership with Council’s Assets team, Stefan Consulting delivered:

• an innovative and unique customised prioritisation tool, with a more objective approach, to help prioritise building upgrade works using science-based outcomes required to justify decisions made in prioritising works
• concise methodology and criteria to assess Council’s 300+ building assets, identifying funding gaps
• the creation of detailed documentation including a final prioritised list of building upgrade works with estimated costings
• a 10-Year Program of Building Works to inform Council’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP), Council’s Delivery Program and the Buildings AMP
• a Final Report with Recommendations to support future Council budget allocations or reallocations towards Buildings, commencing 2024/25
• a Buildings Asset Management Plan (AMP).

The success of this project led to Stefan Consulting presenting at the NSW & ACT IPWEA 2025 State Conference in April 2025 together with Ku-ring-gai Council.
