The SAMF consists of a suite of Queensland Government best practice guidelines which reinforces the principles and concepts of strategic asset management as they apply to buildings. It is a valuable tool which provides departments with a systematic and consistent approach to managing their buildings to meet service delivery requirements.
The SAMF guidelines emphasise the priorities and focus of the Government on the efficient utilisation of building assets, integrated planning, whole-of-life costing and environmental sustainability.
The SAMF complements other whole-of-Government building asset-related policy documents including the Capital Works Management Framework, the Maintenance Management Framework, the Government Employee Housing Management Framework and the Building Asset Performance Framework.
The Queensland Government has a substantial portfolio of building assets which support the delivery of essential services throughout Queensland. Strategic asset management underpins all activities related to managing government building assets for optimal outcomes.
The Strategic Asset Management Framework (SAMF) guides decision-making processes over all phases of the life cycle of an asset: planning, investment/procurement, management-in-use and disposal.
It refers to relevant government policies, guidelines and frameworks while avoiding duplication of the content of these documents.
The SAMF promotes best practice in the planning, investment/procurement, management-in-use and disposal of building assets in the Queensland public sector.
