Michael is a passionate advocate for local government with 15 years of experience in asset management across Australia. He specialises in aligning engineering practices with community expectations, optimising asset management systems to deliver tangible outcomes for the communities they serve.

In his presentation on Penlink: Integrating Lifecycle Cost Modelling and Confirm EAM for Infrastructure Optimisation, Michael demonstrates how Service Stream successfully integrated operational and strategic asset management under Victoria's 25-year Peninsula Link PPP. This integration delivered evidence-based forecasts, risk analysis, and investment optimisation across pavement, structures, drainage, and roadside furniture—establishing a repeatable framework for managing complex, long-term infrastructure obligations.

Known for building strong stakeholder relationships and fostering collaboration, Michael brings technical expertise and strategic foresight to infrastructure management.

When not working, Michael explores Australia off-grid with his caravan, deepening his appreciation for sustainable infrastructure and the challenges of managing essential public services.
