About Guideline 2
Guideline 2: Space is the second of 4 OAMF guidelines (Guideline 1: Planning, Guideline 2: Space, Guideline 3: Fitout, and Guideline 4: Occupancy) that support the Office Accommodation Management Framework (OAMF). The OAMF integrates policies, process, activities and guidelines for agencies to establish:
- office accommodation needs
- acquire and fit out suitable space
- utilise that space effectively
- manage the accommodation-change (churn) process.
Purpose
The purpose of this guideline is to:
- provide advice and support to agencies in relation to the management of their office space in order to assist them to align their accommodation with service delivery needs on a continuing basis
- describe the procedures involved in acquiring, reducing and reconfiguring office space
- describe the role and activities of EPW in office-space management.
Scope
This section focuses on the policy, processes and procedures involved in:
- acquiring new or additional office space in government-owned or 'major-leased' buildings
- acquiring private-sector leased space
- reducing space through rationalisation, consolidation and/or collocation
- vacating space
- sub-leasing and/or assigning office space leased from the private sector in 'other leased'
