Council has some control over these risks, associated with other organisations providing goods and services to Council. Physical failure risk. Where condition or performance of an asset could lead to failure. Council can control these risks through its renewal funding levels. Operation risks. Where management of the asset or asset management activities might impact on an asset. Council can control these risks through maintenance and rehabilitation funding. This chapter outlines the Risk Management process and current practices of Council. 4.1 Risk Management Process The processes of risk assessment and management are fully documented in the Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard 4360:2004 and the draft International Standard ISO/DIS 31000: Risk Management - Principles and Guidelines on Implementation.
