DPCD Sustainability Sheet in MAV Renewal Gap Program
To all Victorian Council Users on the Moloney Renewal Gap Software
We recently had a query concerning the projected maintenance costs that are delivered within the MAV Renewal Gap Program. Our software has a user definable link that lifts or drops future maintenance cost based upon projected condition change. The settings are within Row 102 of the Required Data Sheet within the Input Pro Forma File.
For some of the recreation and other assets these settings were quite high if you did not amend them. There was a note displayed within the DPCD Sustainability Sheet that we included within the Asset Graphs File around Cell J1 which provided instructions to break the link between future Maintenance cost and projected condition. If you amended the figures in line with that note then your maintenance will remain static into the future.
If you did not and you are underfunding the recreation area the program will deliver quite sharply escalating future maintenance costs because of the user definable variable that was present in the file sent out. We have reset the user definable "Maintenance Adjustment Factor" to more appropriate levels and you can download the updated files as required.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but the MAV program is not tracking maintenance and as such the unusually high figures that were present within some of the asset sets within the Input Pro Forma file did not come to our attention until very recently.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries regarding this matter.
