Brightly Software helps Town of Gawler council unlock capital for critical infrastructure projects
MELBOURNE - 16 December 2024
Brightly Software, a Siemens company announces new partnership with South Australia’s Town of Gawler council (Gawler).
Gawler, located less than an hour from Adelaide, continues to experience large population growth, and as a result, the council was seeking a solution to help unlock capital for critical infrastructure projects and ensure they meet their statutory obligations around asset management planning. After evaluating several options, the council chose Brightly’s Strategic Asset Management (SAM) Solution, Predictor for its proven track record in the local government sector.
Unlocking capital for critical infrastructure projects
With a population nearing 25,000 and the demand for essential services such as transport, utilities, and community facilities increasing year-on-year, Gawler needed to find a way to unlock capital to support the town’s rapid growth and ensure sustainable development.
Investing in infrastructure now will not only meet current needs but also position Gawler for future expansion, boosting local economic growth and improving residents' quality of life. By securing the necessary funding, the council can proactively address these challenges and ensure long-term success for the community.
Global leader in intelligent asset management storytelling
Brightly has deep asset management expertise locally with the global backing of Siemens. As a leading business delivering intelligent asset management solutions across the globe, Brightly has a demonstrated track record of delivering solutions that align with councils objectives.
Brightly’s Senior Sales Executive for Local Government ANZ, Jim Apostolovski said, “In an age of overwhelming information, effectively communicating complex subjects like council budgets is crucial. For Gawler Council, storytelling is key to making data resonate with Councillors, residents, and ratepayers. Brightly Predictor plays a vital role in this process by providing real-time insights into Gawler’s assets and infrastructure. With advanced predictive modeling, it allows decision-makers to track asset lifecycles, explore funding scenarios, and assess maintenance impacts, transforming budget discussions into practical dialogues about the community's future.
By combining data with compelling narratives, Gawler Council can build community buy-in for major capital projects. This approach fosters transparent communication about fund allocation, enhancing trust in leadership and ensuring residents feel heard and engaged. Ultimately, the synergy of storytelling and data not only clarifies financial decisions but also reinforces the Council's commitment to transparency and accountability, shaping a shared vision for a thriving community that reflects the needs and aspirations of its residents.”
Brightly’s General Manager, APAC, Blake Gordon said, “Local governments are facing increasing pressure to do more with less, and strategic asset management is crucial to meeting those challenges. We are proud to partner with Gawler council and support their efforts to build a sustainable, resilient community now and into the future."
