What is asset management?
Effective asset management involves a planned and structured approach to manage and care for the County’s infrastructure assets. The goal is to ensure that these assets perform well, last a long time, are cost-effective, and have minimized risk. By adopting sound asset management practices, the County can continue to deliver dependable services to the community in a safe, affordable and sustainable manner.
Asset management covers all stages of an asset’s lifecycle, from initial planning or purchase to eventual replacement or disposal.
Ontario municipalities must comply with the regulations outlined in Ontario Regulation 588/17 Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure.
