Asset Management Policy

Shelburne's Asset Management policy outlines the condition and assessment of assets the Municipality owns. These assets include everything from buildings and furniture to sewer lines and road signs. Shelburne has a diverse inventory of assets that must be in good working order to provide the quality services you expect from us.

Our corporate asset management program helps ensure we are allocating enough money to sustain our infrastructure assets for the long term and meet service-level expectations.

Our work is guided by our asset management policy- an ever-evolving framework of practices and policies that focuses on asset maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement needs, and helps us prioritize our work in an open, transparent manner.

The policy aims to balance the needs and costs for repairing, replacing and upgrading assets with our own financial capability.

Our Asset Management policy helps us to manage:

• Road networks
• Bridges and culverts
• Buildings
• Storm water
• Water
• Sanitary sewers
• Land and land improvements
• Vehicles, machinery and equipment

Based on our assessment, the majority of our assets are in good or very good conditions. Our plan includes detailed strategies to maintain our assets and plan for growth. For more information, view our Asset Management Plan.
