2 Context

2.1 Purpose of this Instruction

The purpose of this instruction is to describe the detailed processes and systems which are in

place to provide Estate Appraisal (EA) on Training Areas and Ranges (TAs). TAs include primarily

Ranges, Drop Zones, Manoeuvre Corridors and Landing Areas at all Defence properties as

directed by the Director/Directorate of Operations and Training Area Management (DOTAM).

The EA Framework supports the Defence Estate Strategy 2016/36 and operates within the One

Estate Framework. The EA Framework describes the EA Process, recognising that that EA is an

integral part of Defence’s overall estate management approach, as illustrated in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 The EA framework and interfaces with other estate management functions

The EA Policy, the EA Plan and the EA Instructions (of which this document is one) are

collectively referred to as the EA Framework, which describes how EA is to be carried out across

the Defence Estate. The hierarchy of these documents is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 The EA Framework

The EA framework consists of the:

The EA Policy – which provides the context and principles of EA in Defence;

The EA plan – which clarifies roles and responsibilities, identifies stakeholder

management outcomes and presents the overall broad process for how EA is to be

undertaken and the outcomes expected; and

OFFICIAL


EA Instructions (of which this document is one) - which provide detailed instructions

specific to an asset class or type of appraisal where required. This can include where

legislation relates to a specific asset type resulting in additional appraisal

requirements.

2.2 Other Reference Documents Relevant to this Instruction

Ref A: Military Training Facilities – Asset Management Plan 2019-24, 21 August 2019.

The Asset Management Plan (AMP) provides overarching guidance for the management

of training area infrastructure to achieve consistency at a portfolio level across the

entire estate, while allowing for the flexibility to guide base-specific considerations.

The intent of the AMP is to clearly define:

The approach for the management of TA assets;

Develop the performance, risk and cost profiles at an asset class level, and

its optimisation;

Link all key documents, processes and constraints in a concise short-form

asset management plan; and

Identify gaps between the current approach and the desired Defence

approach to the management of training area infrastructure.

Specific information related to military TA hierarchy, training areas and ranges list and

asset condition rating from the AMP has been used to develop this instruction.

Ref B: The Defence Training Area Management Manual (DTAMM).

The DTAMM describes the responsibilities and framework for corporate planning and

management of Defence TAs.

The DTAMM contains information including its applicability, roles and responsibilities,

legislation and policies, TA categorisation and governance structure, management

process, list of training areas and ranges under each category, environmental

management, safety and security.

This instruction has been developed using information in the DTAMM so as to maintain

consistency in the management of TAs.

Ref C: Range Live Fire Target Equipment (RLFTE)

RLFTE is a live fire training system that enables Defence to meet core capability

requirements. The purpose of an RLFTE document is to describe the maintenance

necessary to:

Maintain capability and keep the range live fire target systems working and

available; and

Extend the economic life of the target equipment.

Material maintenance for the RLFTE system includes:

Operating Level Maintenance (OLM) – Refer Annex A of RLFTE for

maintenance intervals, and Annex B for tasks involved in OLM;

Intermediate Level Maintenance (ILM) - Refer Annex A of RLFTE for

maintenance intervals, and Annex B for tasks involved in ILM;

OFFICIAL


Scheduled Maintenance – Planned in accordance with an authorised

maintenance policy; and

Unscheduled Maintenance – Initiated by reporting a fault through GEMS.

The RLFTE document is applicable for EMOS contractors as well as Estate Upkeep

contractors, and any other personnel who undertake appraisal on the RLFTE system.

Responsibilities of the various personnel involved in maintaining the RLFTE system

(including Range Control Officer, EMOS contractors, Estate Upkeep contractors,

Regional E&I management) is also detailed in this document.

Appendices of the RLFTE document provide maintenance policy, servicing schedules

and the types of equipment respectively.

Ref D: Landscape Management Manual (LMM), DRAFT

The Landscape Management Manual (LMM) is under development at time of writing

and will provide policy implementation guidance and minimum requirements for

undertaking certain land management activities in line with the Department of

Defence’s (Defence’s) legislative obligations and stewardship goals, as articulated in the

Defence Environmental Policy 2016 and Defence Environmental Strategy 2016-2036.

The LMM provides specific instructions and reference to guidance materials, to support

the implementation of policies that relate to landscape management including:

Domestic biosecurity (weeds, pests and pathogens)

Native species and communities

Soil management

Bushfire management

The LMM is intended to be supported by the LMM Toolbox which will have specific fact

sheets, templates and guidelines for how the LMM should be implemented. Note that

this toolbox is not published at time of writing.

2.3 Scope

The scope of this instruction addresses all assets (sea, land and/or air) for live firing, non-live

firing, and manoeuvre training activities. The complete list of estate classes (EC) and EC IDs in

scope for TA EA is provided in Appendix A.

Section 2.1 of Ref A also provides guidance on the desired TAs asset hierarchy. This has been

described in Table 1 below. While Ref A does not provide the Level 4 details, which represent

equipment within each functional element, those can be obtained from the ERIM.

2.4 Applicability

This instruction is applicable for Training Area Operational Authorities (TAOA), E&IG Staff,

EMOS contractors and specialist subcontractors undertaking EA on TAs on the Defence Estate.

This instruction documents the EA pathways for TA, and states asset-specific considerations and

attribute rating scales to be considered for the specified TAs.

TAs are to be assessed as a part of the regular EA activities. That is, appraisal may be conducted

as Scheduled EA, Condition Assessments or EA on request.

The determination and scheduling of appraisals occurs during the EA planning activity and the

schedule is to be retained in the GEMS.

OFFICIAL


3 Training Areas Approach

3.1 Approach

TAs constitute numerous different functional elements which include Linear assets (Roads,

underground cables, pipelines), Buildings, Structures, Natural assets, Ranges, Targetry among

others (refer to the ERIM list for TAs in Appendix A). Accordingly, there are a number of extant

but different assessment pathways in place for each functional element.

Rather than provide a bespoke methodology for TA EA, this instruction is intended to map out

how the various assessment pathways provide a holistic understanding of the disposition of TAs

and hence achieves the intent of EA.

EA on assets within TAs is a function of six key methodologies which are illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Training Areas and Ranges EA approach

The principal appraisal requirements of DOTAM or TAOA and the EA pathways which achieve

these requirements is discussed in Table 2. These are:

EA Desktop Review – Which occurs annually and assesses the fitness of purpose of

facilities.

Scheduled EA – Which considers the CF of buildings in TAs and provides an assessment

against a number of attributes including condition, functionality, compliance and

environmental factors that may impact the life of an asset.

Condition Assessments – Which are conducted by maintainers during scheduled

maintenance activities on equipment and consist of assessments of condition,

functionality and remaining life.

Linear Asset EA – Which provides an assessment of attributes such as condition,

functionality, remaining life, compliance and environmental factors that may impact the

life of linear assets such as Roads, Cables, Pipelines, Fences, Footpaths, Tunnels, and

similar within TA. This instruction is still under development.

Range Inspection Reports – Which are conducted every two years by range safety

officers and provide assurance that the facility complies with Defence safety standards

in design and construction, and that the facility provides the necessary WHS

requirements for Defence personnel and the general public.

Sustainability requirements and appraisal pathways – These are stipulated in Range

Standing Orders (RSO) and Chapter 6 of Ref B which states that each training area must

be covered by an Environmental Management System (EMS) or an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP), which is the primary management tool to balance Defence

EA Desktop review, Scheduled EA, Linear Assets EA and Condition Assessments are all

addressed in their own separate instruction under the EA framework. A brief summary of these

appraisal types and their applicability to TAs is discussed in Section 4. The conduct of range

inspection reports is also addressed in Section 4 of this document.

Additionally, each TA should have key sustainability indicators to enable Defence to measure

the extent of training area changes over time. The Training Area Operational Authority (TAOA)

is responsible for operating the TA in accordance with environmental regulations. It should also

be noted that DEEESD is to be consulted while performing appraisal on natural assets within the

TAs.

3.2 Reporting and Upload to GEMS

Information management is key to the success of the EA function as the Estate Data are pivotal

to the management and maintenance of the Defence Estate.

Assets within TAs are varied and as such, EA is conducted by several methods (EA Desktop

Review, Condition assessments, etc) depending on the asset that is being assessed.

The assessor is to ensure that for every training area, attributes for assets within the training

area, conducted through different appraisal methods, are collated in a format suitable for

upload to GEMS.

Completion of physical appraisals are to be reported against the EA Schedule and provided to

the GEMS team for upload to GEMS.

Reports on EA activities are to meet reporting requirements. Ongoing reporting on TAs EA

outcomes is required as per EA Reporting requirements outlined in 1.1 EA Plan.

3.4 Process Enablers

There are several enablers for the conduct of EA on TAs, including information inputs, personnel

qualifications and systems.

Information inputs include:

EA Master Planning – 4- to 8-year master plan to align EA activity to the needs of

capability managers and their own maintenance activities, including a longer-term

schedule of EA activity describing the mix of ongoing Condition Assessments, annual

desktop reviews and prescribed frequency physical appraisals. This exercise will

contribute to a risk-based prioritisation of EA.

EA Desktop Review – confirmed changes occurring on the estate and their impact to

asset existence and usage for incorporation into Appraisal Planning. The Desktop

OFFICIAL


Review should confirm criticality rating, target condition, target functionality and fitness

for purpose.

Appraisal Plan – schedule of EA activity that incorporates the inputs from master

planning and desktop reviews.

PBSM Schedule – the maintenance and inspection schedule developed by the EMOS

contractor for the assets must consider the legislative requirements for asset inspection

frequencies, the Commonwealth’s requirements under the Base Services Contract

(including the Services Definition Table (SDT)) and the asset’s manufacturer’s

recommendations.

Asset information – including maintenance history, incidents and compliance

requirements. This includes information in EMOS contractors’ own IMS, in addition to

any information stored in GEMS.

Existing appraisal data – existing attributes to be provided for review against current

state of asset, including all attributes for appraisal and work orders from previous

appraisals.

Standards and legislated requirements–applicable documents for compliance

assessment based on asset type (ERIM), including Defence policy, heritage and

environment and training area management plans, risk registers, applicable legislation

and manufacturers specifications. (See Section 3 of Ref D).

3.5 Resources

Personnel are required to be suitably qualified for conducting EA on TAs including:

Hold knowledge and expertise on asset classes where there are compliance

requirements;

Have undertaken professional development to enable the appropriate conduct of EA

as per appraisal requirements; and

Have undertaken professional development to understand the use of contractor

systems.

Hold and be able to maintain required security clearances.

The professional development framework for EA is described in 1.1 EA Plan.

Where suitably qualified personnel are not available or specific expertise is required on

individual asset classes, the EMOS contractors are to procure suitably qualified subcontractors.

EMOS contractors’ own information management systems are required to manage estate data

and upload appraisal outputs to GEMS.

OFFICIAL


4 Estate Appraisal Attributes and Rating Instructions

4.1 EA Pathways

Each of the six assessment pathways illustrated in Figure 3 are discussed in detail below, in

particular how the outcomes of these assessments are relevant for EA on TA.

Scheduled EA

Scheduled EA is a physical appraisal on all items in the ERIM in accordance with

frequency and scope requirements prescribed in legislation and the 1.1 EA Plan. These

appraisals are scheduled during the Plan EA activity, also described in the 1.1 EA Plan.

Scheduled EA is applicable to all assets which do not undergo any regular performance-

based or scheduled maintenance (PBSM) activities.

Scheduled EA is completed by the EMOS contractors and is typically visual in nature

only and does not include any intrusive investigations or testing (including non-

destructive testing).

The scope of assets that undergo Scheduled EA includes Buildings, Land parcel, Land

space, Property, Precinct, etc (refer Section 1.2 of 1.1.2 Scheduled EA Instruction). This

assessment pathway is relevant because buildings are ubiquitous on TAs, in particular

range huts, guard houses, towers, office buildings, hangars, sentry point buildings,

accommodation buildings and waiting bays.

Refer to instruction 1.1.2 Scheduled EA for a detailed process to undertake Scheduled

EA activities on Defence assets.

Condition Assessments

Condition Assessments are physical assessments of asset condition, functionality and

remaining life conducted as part of PBSM carried out by the EMOS contractor or their

subcontractors.

Condition Assessments measure only the condition, functionality and remaining life of

an asset by appraisal during PBSM. That is, Condition Assessment does not capture any

additional attributes and measuring points of other appraisal types, such as work orders

and risk profiles.

The scope of assets that undergo Condition assessments includes TA Equipment,

Equipment system, Infrastructure and Infrastructure system.

Refer 1.1.3 Condition Assessment EA for a detailed process to undertake condition

assessments on Defence assets.

EA Desktop Review

The EA Desktop Review is an annual process aimed at pulling together the collective

knowledge of the maintainers of the estate (EMOS contractors), the users of the estate

(resident units) and the stewards of the estate (E&IG/EFS) to review its current condition

and suitability for delivering defence’s required level of capability.

EA Desktop Reviews focus is on currency of criticality and target ratings, the fitness for

purpose of the estate and the status of raised work orders.

EA Desktop Reviews are scheduled to provide timely input into the annual EWP

preparation plan, to ensure that there is good understanding of the works already

programmed for coming years prior to undertaking the review.

OFFICIAL


Refer 1.1.1 EA Desktop Review for a detailed process to undertake desktop review on

Defence assets.

Linear Assets EA

A linear asset is an asset spread over a large geographic area consisting of a number of

reoccurring continuous elements.

Linear assets typically have appraisal challenges as they may be distributed across vast

geographic locations and may often be underground. Typical linear assets include

roads, pipelines and cables.

The consequence of linear asset failure however is often significant, especially with

reticulated systems (such as wastewater) where asset failures can have significant

operational, environmental and financial impacts.

The Scope of Linear assets that undergo appraisal includes Roads, Pipes, Cables,

Footpaths, Tracks, Tunnels (refer Appendix A of 1.1.7 Linear Assets EA for a list of linear

asset classes on the Defence Estate).

Refer 1.1.7 Linear Assets EA for a detailed process to undertake appraisal on Defence

linear assets.

Range Inspection Reports

Range inspection reports are the output of the assessment conducted on ranges within

TAs conducted by National Range Inspectors (NRI) of DEEP, in consultation with

DOTAM and the EMOS contractors.

The purpose of the range inspection is to provide assurance that the range complies

with Defence safety standards in design and construction and has provisioned for WHS

requirements for Defence personnel and general public whilst range is in use.

The report details observations and makes recommendations to assist DOTAM / TAOA

to mitigate and/or remediate both structural and procedural issues related to range

safety compliance.

Appendix B provides an example of the typical content of a range safety report, and the

necessary information required to enable Defence to make a judgement on safety

critical issues and solutions.

Sustainability Assurance

Defence, as one of the Australia’s largest landowners, has a responsibility to

demonstrate leadership in sustainable environmental management practices.

Figure 4 illustrates the important aspects of sustainability assurance for TAs and the

stakeholders that are responsible for providing this assurance.

OFFICIAL


Figure 4 Sustainability Assurance for Training Areas and Ranges

Estate and Infrastructure Group (E&IG) through Assistant Secretary Environment and

Engineering (ASEE) is responsible for developing environmental management strategies

and associated implementation plans (Environmental management Plans (EMP)/

Environmental management Systems (EMS)) for all TA.

TA Standing Orders (TASO) remain the primary source of information to TA users as to

how environmental management principles are to be applied to a specific TA. TAOA or

TA operations staff are responsible for the development and authorisation of TA

Standing Orders and ensuring that these are reviewed and updated to incorporate

identified environmental requirements for routine activities.

All TAs must be covered by an EMS or EMP, which is the primary management tool

used to balance Defence needs with principles of sustainable use.

Routine activities on TA do not require specific Environmental Clearance Certificates

(ECC), subject to agreement with the regional Environment and Sustainability Manager

(ESM). Once agreed by the regional ESM, the list of these activities with their

environmental compliance conditions are to be detailed in the TASO. This ensures user

compliance with the conditions specified in the EMS or EMP.

Environmental clearance of Major activities (e.g. Joint/Combined exercises) are to be

referred directly to ASEE early in the planning phases. Note that the regional Senior

Environmental Manager (SEM) or TAOA are not intended to be ECC delegates for major

activities. EE Branch is to provide direction on the management of the environmental

impact assessment and approval process in the planning of major activities.

The environmental assessment process must be supported by a thorough post-activity

clearance and inspection process to ensure that the environmental conditions have

been met. TA staff or delegated TAOA representatives in support of regional ESM are

responsible for such clearance, primarily relating to user compliance with TASO and ECC

conditions.

Refer Section 6 of Ref B for a detailed process on environmental management of

Defence Training Areas (DTA).
