Asset Management is the coordinated activities of the Municipality to realize value from its assets to achieve organizational objectives. It is the plan for how to manage municipal infrastructure in order to provide services to residents and other users in a way that meets their expectations, and is financially sustainable into the future. Having a clear picture of the current state of municipal infrastructure, and expected levels of service, will help make more informed decisions about asset operations, maintenance and renewal. 

Grey Highlands Municipal assets that are part of the Asset Management Plan, and which are essential to our service delivery, include the following: 

  • roads 
  • bridges and culverts 
  • wastewater systems 
  • water systems 
  • landfills 
  • sidewalks 
  • buildings 
  • equipment 

Information that helps Council and Municipal Staff improve our asset management capabilities includes the following: 

  • life cycle costs of owning and operating an asset 
  • levels of service (including current, expected, and desired) 
  • risks, and risk management 
  • implications of future demand
