The Relationship Between Event And Facilities Management: A Case Study Of The Melbourne Cricket Ground, Linda Too, Craig Langston
The Relationship Between Event And Facilities Management: A Case Study Of The Melbourne Cricket Ground, Linda Too, Craig Langston
Linda Too
Event management and facilities management are generally regarded as two separate disciplines. However, for a number of specialised facilities this separation has become blurred. Using the Melbourne Cricket Ground as a case study, this paper identifies how much of the routine facilities planning, including maintenance, cleaning, security, refurbishment and capital improvement, are treated as events and integrated with sporting fixtures as part of the annual event calendar. It is proposed that a similar situation is occurring with other specialised facilities, such as hotels and resorts, entertainment centres and tourist venues. Given event management and facilities management share a number of …

Exploring Intersectoral Linkages Between Real Estate And Construction, Yu Song, Chunlu Liu, Craig Langston
Craig Langston
Even though linkages have attracted a lot of research interest, few researchers focus on the intersectoral linkages between two specific sectors. This research therefore proposes an indirect intersectoral linkage measure model to explore linkages between the real estate and construction sectors using the Hypothetical Extraction Method (HEM). Using the OECD input-output tables, the direct, total intersectoral linkages and the proposed indirect intersectoral linkages are explored and tested respectively for seven OECD countries over twenty years. The findings describe that the intersectoral linkages from construction to real estate are larger than those from real estate to construction. The statistical testing results …
Integrating Subtropical Design In Transit Oriented Developments Of South East Queensland, Australia, Daniel O'Hare, Bhishna Bajracharya
Integrating Subtropical Design In Transit Oriented Developments Of South East Queensland, Australia, Daniel O'Hare, Bhishna Bajracharya
Daniel O'Hare
The objective of the paper is to stimulate the dialogue on subtropical design of transit oriented development in SEQ through conversations with six leading urban designers and planners in Queensland. The paper summarises the discussions with key informants on four key aspects; (1) key elements of subtropical TODs; ( 2) good examples of subtropical design in Brisbane and SEQ; (3) challenges to developing subtropical TOD; and (4) ideas/strategies for developing subtropical TODs. Through a critical analysis of the emerging literature on subtropical design and continual dialogue with a cross section of planning and design professionals as well as the development …
Partnerships For Community Building And Governance In Master Planned Communities: A Study Of Varsity Lakes At Gold Coast, Bhishna Bajracharya, George Earl, Shahed Khan
Partnerships For Community Building And Governance In Master Planned Communities: A Study Of Varsity Lakes At Gold Coast, Bhishna Bajracharya, George Earl, Shahed Khan
Bhishna Bajracharya
The development and management of master planned communities (MPCs) involve achieving the twin goals of building a sense of community and creating a distinctive place identity. The roles of private, public and community sectors in realising these goals of MPCs have been evolving over time with the increasing role of developers in provision of services with the local government playing a regulatory/facilitative role and community calling for greater engagement and local control. The major objective of the paper is to critically examine the nature and outcomes of collaboration between developers, local/state governments and existing/emerging community groups in the development of …
Infrastructure Asset Management (Iam): Evolution And Evaluation, Eric Too, Linda Tay
Infrastructure Asset Management (Iam): Evolution And Evaluation, Eric Too, Linda Tay
Linda Too
Despite its rapid development in the last decade, infrastructure asset management today suffers from an identity crisis as the definition and scope of infrastructure asset management remains a contentious issue. The purpose of this paper is to trace the evolution of infrastructure asset management and evaluate the current practices. In the process, a framework defining the scope of infrastructure asset management is proposed. Notwithstanding the systematic approach that many organisations adopt to manage their infrastructure assets, this paper argues for the need to adopt a more integrated and strategic perspective in the light of the dynamic contemporary operating environment.

Critical Foundations: Providing Australia’S 21st Century Infrastructure, Michael Regan
Michael Regan
Extract:
Infrastructure is undoubtedly the least understood of the major asset classes in Australia. A tradition of public ownership and operation, its status as a public good and a lack of information about its investment characteristics in both public and private hands has contributed to limited recognition of its role in national and regional economies. However, this situation is changing. A coincidence of political, economic and financial events in the lead up to the worldwide economic recession of the late 1980s and Australia's microeconomic reforms of the 1990s b[r]ought into sharper focus the central role that infrastructure plays in both …
Life Cycle Costing: Practice V Theory, Tomek Paszkiewicz, Craig Langston
Life Cycle Costing: Practice V Theory, Tomek Paszkiewicz, Craig Langston
Craig Langston
Numerous studies have already been conducted in the area of life-cycle costing (LCC), however few studies have been conducted into resolving its lack of utilisation in practice. This paper sets out known barriers and limitations and provides some advice for how education can play a role in developing future perceptions, and hence assist in bridging the gap between practice and theory. LCC is sometimes undertaken on projects of a build, own and occupy nature where it is in the client's best interest to conduct such an exercise and where taxpayers' monies are involved, however projects which are of a build …
Comparisons Of Building Energy And Cost Equivalence: An Analysis Of Thirty Melbourne Case Studies, Yu Langston, Craig Langston
Comparisons Of Building Energy And Cost Equivalence: An Analysis Of Thirty Melbourne Case Studies, Yu Langston, Craig Langston
Craig Langston
This study investigates the energy and cost performance of 30 recent buildings in Melbourne, Australia. Commonly, building design decisions are based on issues pertaining to construction cost, and consideration of energy performance is made only within the context of the initial project budget. Even where energy is elevated to more importance, operating energy is seen as the focus and embodied energy is nearly always ignored. For the first time, a large sample of buildings has been assembled and analyzed to improve the understanding of both energy and cost performance over their full life cycle. The data was obtained from capital …

Event management and facilities management are generally regarded as two separate disciplines. However, for a number of specialised facilities this separation has become blurred. This paper describes a new undergraduate course in event and facilities management at Bond University that formalises this connection.

The Second Life Of Urban Planning? Using Neogeography Tools For Community Engagement, Marcus Foth, Bhishna Bajracharya, Ross Brown, Greg Hearn
The Second Life Of Urban Planning? Using Neogeography Tools For Community Engagement, Marcus Foth, Bhishna Bajracharya, Ross Brown, Greg Hearn
Bhishna Bajracharya
The majority of the world's citizens now live in cities. Although urban planning can thus be thought of as a field with significant ramifications on the human condition, many practitioners feel that it has reached the crossroads in thought leadership between traditional practice and a new, more participatory and open approach. Conventional ways to engage people in participatory planning exercises are limited in reach and scope. At the same time, socio-cultural trends and technology innovation offer opportunities to re-think the status quo in urban planning. NeoGeography introduces tools and services that allow non-geographers to use advanced geographical information systems. Similarly, …
