Asset Management and Infrastructure

Resilient infrastructure that meets the community’s needs today and into the future.

The City of New Westminster plans, builds, operates, and maintains essential community infrastructure that supports public health, safety, and wellness, such as water, sewer, sidewalks, greenways, roads, electrical, parks, natural assets, buildings and other facilities to deliver core services to the community.

Asset management is a structured approach that commits all departments to work in a coordinated way to plan and manage existing and new assets. Success in this priority focus area will enable the City to improve its asset management practices, improve decision-making, strengthen technical
and leadership capabilities, and develop long-term financial outlooks that incorporate new infrastructure from master plans and ensure we replace and renew existing infrastructure that serves the community. Our goals include an increased ability to make decisions based on risks and vulnerabilities and an increased ability to communicate essential infrastructure data and information to the community.

Objectives

  • Champion asset management leadership and staff capabilities across the organization to enhance how we plan, deliver, maintain, and operate our infrastructure to meet the community’s needs.
  • Expand the use of data and information to inform long-term infrastructure planning and decision-making.
  • Clearly communicate asset management and infrastructure information to the public.
  • Maximize infrastructure reliability and ensure long-term financial health through a rigorous approach to asset management.

Outcomes

  • Sustainable Service Delivery: Deliver sustainable service today and into the future, including several asset management and master plans.
  • Rigorous Approach: Benchmark and improve data management and improve communication and information sharing.
  • Long-term Financial Planning and Resilience: Continue to deliver on the five-year plans and major capital projects currently planned or underway, and improve on internal capacity.
