When I was sitting in the council chair, I knew asset data mattered. What I didn't have was a clear path from good intention to working reality. That's what this guide is: a twelve-stage roadmap for implementing ADAC in a council, across four phases. It begins where it really counts, with governance and the standard itself, before any software enters the picture, then works through your local rules, the pipeline, and going live. The map I wish I'd had.
A connected, data-driven approach transforms Capital Works delivery. By linking Asset Management, financial, and works systems into Power BI, councils gain a single source of truth making it easier to prioritise renewals, monitor project progress, and track costs in real time. Accurate data and integration drive better decisions, ensuring every asset class upgrade delivers maximum community value.
