11. Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Key Project Risks Completion within 12 month project period – (a) considerable extent of assets – approach adopted is to progressively drill into further levels of detail, leveraging existing asset knowledge, the value of achieving a greater level of detail (with an adjusted time frame) has been noted and is to be reviewed – based on sign-off of asset scope, and level of detail (2 pilot schemes); (b) there needs to be ready access to DWAF information – to be tested in the pilots; and (c) DWAF needs to have effective resources and an AMIS in place by project hand-over. Delays in decision-making – existing DWAF staff overloaded, and the work is pioneering in nature Organisational fit – due to uncertain timing and arrangements relating to the establishment of the NWRIA Compliance – the approach required to satisfy the AG and GIAMA are not well-established

12. Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Project Opportunities Document existing practice and secure institutional memory Establish a benchmark for good Infrastructure Asset Management practice for SA (as sector leader)

13.

14. Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry …..continued Assessment of DWAF’s existing IT infrastructure conducted Legal review in process Asset hierarchy and level of detail of data collection approaching finality Draft Filed Guide being prepared Scope of “known” assets being finalised Valuation Approach and Methodology reaching advanced stage Data collection at national level commenced Preparations in hand for pilot projects

15. Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Department of Water Affairs and Forestry Conclusion The project will impact across many aspects of DWAF’s business It is pioneering in nature Success will depend substantially on a close working relationship of the PSP and DWAF and effective communication There are considerable project risks, and opportunities, which will need to be closely managed The value-add of the project is substantial in terms of improved planning and operations, risk mitigation, and, ultimately, in improved service delivery
