Surrounded as it is by the coast and untamed wilderness, Hobart offers plenty of opportunity for active pursuits. Take a hike up Mount Wellington or get an adrenaline rush on a mountain bike ride down; take an exhilarating white-water jet boat ride on the stunning Huon River; journey through the treetops of the spectacular Tahune National Forest on the elevated Airwalk walkway; or simply explore the wilderness surrounding Hobart in one of the many World Heritage Areas such as Mount Field National Park. For more leisurely pursuits, Hobart is just a short trip to Port Arthur where you can learn about Australia’s harsh convict history, Moorilla estate where you can drink fine wine and visit the world class Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and Barilla Bay where you can shuck your own oysters, just fresh out of the water.
Take advantage of the long weekend following the conference to explore the many attractions that Hobart has to offer.
The Weather
June is winter in Tasmania and while the mountains surrounding Hobart are often sprinkled with snow during this season, at the city’s sea level the temperature average is between 5.2 °C and 11.6 (°C). Hobart has a low average rainfall during this season and is in fact the 2nd driest city in Australia (after Adelaide) resulting in clear, crisp days.
Travel
By Air
Four airlines, Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Tiger Airways, operate regular daily jet services between mainland Australia and Hobart, Tasmania. A wide variety of flight times are available throughout the day. Frequent scheduled direct flights cross Bass Strait daily from Melbourne (approx one hour), Sydney (approx two hours) and Brisbane (approx three hours) to Hobart. Convenient connections from international hubs and all other Australian states are also available.
By Sea
Delegates may enjoy the opportunity to experience sea travel, journeying from Melbourne to Tasmania with their cars on the Spirit of Tasmania. On board, a range of accommodation options is available and entertainment options abound including restaurants, bars and lounges.
Of particular benefit is the ability to bring your own car to Tasmania, providing the perfect opportunity for pre and post-conference touring. The service departs Melbourne nightly at 9pm and arrives in Devonport (in northern Tasmania) at 7am the following morning.
To and from the airport
Wrest Point is located only 3 km from the city centre of Hobart and 24 km from the airport. There are a number of options available for travelling between Wrest Point and the airport:
Several taxi companies regularly service the airport with a taxi rank located out the front of the Domestic Terminal – expect to pay approximately AU$40 for a one way trip.

Panel: Asset Management and Sustainability
Picture this scenario. A company wishes to build an asset, and operate to failure. This choice will provide the best return to shareholders. The community may not regard this as sustainable.
Questions
What is sustainability in asset management terms?
What does the community consider to be sustainability?
What might asset management practitioners need to take into account in the future?
Who decides?
Panellists
Peter Way, IPWEA
Tim Goshert, SMRP

Chris Adams, AWA
Background
Sustainability is defined in many ways by asset management practitioners. So what is sustainability, and how does it interrelate with asset management?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
The word sustainability is derived from the Latin sustinere (tenere, to hold; sus, up). Dictionaries provide more than ten meanings for sustain, the main ones being to “maintain”, “support”, or “endure”.[4][5] However, since the 1980s sustainability has been used more in the sense of human sustainability on planet Earth and this has resulted in the most widely quoted definition of sustainability and sustainable development, that of the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations on March 20, 1987: “sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”[6][7]
The Institute of Public Works Engineering have, in their position paper on “SUSTAINABILITY IN SERVICE PROVISION” (http://www.ipwea.org.au/nams/upload/PP2.pdf), suggested that this view of sustainability be adopted, and therefore considered part of the triple bottom line, but that people operating in different parts of a business or organisation – such as physical asset management, financial management, customers – will have different and narrower definitions of sustainability.
The emerging ISO standard on asset management has a draft definition of asset management as “systematic and coordinated activities and practices through which an organization optimally and sustainably manages its assets and asset systems, their associated performance, risks and expenditures over their life cycles for the purpose of achieving its organizational strategic plan”
Panel: ISO Asset Management Standard
There is an international committee developing the ISO Asset Management Standards
Questions
What is the overall intent of developing this standard beyond PAS55?
This standard is not about assets – what is it about?
What material should the standard cover?
How are people and IP covered by the standard?
What are the relationships between safety, environment, quality systems and asset management?
Has sustainability been suitably defined?
How will the standard deal with the differences between simple and complex systems?
How will the standard manage different approaches by different industries and disciplines?
