b) extending the life of new and existing assets using an economic maintenance intervention cycle for each asset element

c) maintaining a safe environment for public and staff 

d) protecting critical assets within the building envelope 

e) providing access and minimising disruption to the public. 

This business process helps mitigate the following risks:
