GBM Konect in Bendigo: integrated road asset data and planning lessons for engineers
Reviewed by Joe Ashwell

First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)
30 Second Briefing
Road maintenance planning in the City of Bendigo has been overhauled using GBM Konect integrated directly with the council’s asset management system, linking live field data from graders, patching trucks and concreting crews to central asset records. Crews now capture condition data, photos and completed works on mobile devices in real time, feeding GIS-based maps that prioritise pavement interventions and reduce duplicated site visits. For contractors and councils, the approach shows how tighter integration between field data capture and asset registers can sharpen programming of resurfacing and rehabilitation works.
Technical Brief
- Similar Konect–asset system integrations could extend to kerbs, drainage pits and footpaths using the same data model.
Our Take
GBM Konect appears in only a handful of our Software-category items compared with larger enterprise platforms, so the City of Bendigo deployment signals the product is starting to win reference sites in Australian local government rather than just niche engineering users.
Because this is tagged as both Product and Projects, it suggests Konect is being framed not just as a GIS tool but as a full project-delivery platform for municipal road and drainage works, which can influence how councils structure contracts and data standards with civil contractors.
Among the several Software stories in our coverage, very few are tied so explicitly to a single council like the City of Bendigo, which means performance and user feedback from this roll-out will likely be watched closely by other Australian municipalities considering similar mobile field management systems.
