GBM Konect at Banyule City Council: asset data lessons for civil engineers
Reviewed by Tom Sullivan
First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)
30 Second Briefing
GBM Konect is now the core field data and asset management platform for Banyule City Council in Melbourne’s north-east, supporting service delivery across more than 20 suburbs and a population above 130,000. The cloud-based, location-aware system lets crews capture condition data, photos and GPS coordinates in real time for roads, paths, drainage and open space assets, replacing paper workflows. Engineers gain a single geospatial view of assets and maintenance history, improving defect prioritisation, scheduling and compliance reporting without bespoke in-house GIS development.
Technical Brief
- Similar councils can avoid bespoke GIS development cycles by adopting configurable, off‑the‑shelf spatial data platforms.
Our Take
Among the 12 Software stories in our coverage, very few focus on municipal-scale deployments like Banyule City Council in Melbourne’s north-eastern suburbs, signalling that GBM Konect is operating in a relatively under-reported but growing niche of local-government data platforms.
For a council overseeing more than 20 suburbs, a centralised system such as GBM Konect typically becomes the backbone for asset and works management, which in turn can materially affect how quickly road, drainage and community facility issues are logged, prioritised and closed out.
In our database, Australian local-government tech rollouts often act as reference sites for neighbouring councils, so a successful deployment at Banyule could be strategically important for GBM Konect in winning further projects across metropolitan Melbourne and wider Victoria.
