A physical component of a facility which has value,enables services to be provided and has an economic life of greater than 12 months. Dynamic assets have some moving parts, while passive assets have none. IIMM
An asset is an object (physical or intangible) that has an identifiable value and a useful life greater than 12 months, that is or could be used by the entity responsible for it to provide a service. LGAM
Asset - An item with an independent physical and functional identity and age, within a facility (e.g. pump, motor, sedimentation tank, main). Asset - Service potential or future economic benefits controlled by entity as a result of past transactions or other past events. DERM
An asset class is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use. LGAM
Those assets which are expected to be realised in cash or sold or consumed within one year of an organisation's balance date. IIMM
A "current asset" is an asset which is expected to be consumed within one financial year. LGAM
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost. IIMM
Long-term financial plans take the funding projections for delivery of services from infrastructure, developed in asset management plans into a corporate financial plan covering all activities and services of the organisation. Long-term financial plans typically cover a period of 10 years. Accuracy and reliability of financial projections vary over the planning period ranging from good accuracy in the early years (1-3 years) to a lesser accuracy in the later years of the period. These relative accuracies are taken into account in annual updating and review of long-term financial plans. Based on the results of Australian local government financial sustainability reports, initial versions of the long-term financial plan may indicate that existing income levels will be insufficient in future to sustain existing service levels from infrastructure.

Stationary systems forming a network and serving whole communities, where the system as a whole is intended to be maintained indefinitely at a particular level of service potential by the continuing replacement and refurbishment of its components. The network may include normally recognised ordinary assets as components.
IIMM
Infrastructure is any long-life physical asset that consists of an entire system or network (including components), not otherwise defined, which provides the foundation to support public services and enhance the capacity of the economy.
LGAM
Physical assets that contribute to meeting the needs of organisations or the need for access to major economic and social facilities and services, eg. roads, drainage, footpaths and cycleways. These are typically large. interconnected networks or portfolios of composite assets. The components of these assets may be separately maintained, renewed or replaced individually so that the required level and standard of service from the network of assets is continuously sustained. Generally the components and hence the assets have long lives. They are fixed in place and arc often have no separate market value.
AIFMG 2009
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
The life until the asset ceases to provide the required level of service because of physical deterioration of the asset.
A risk is the probability of a failure of an asset as a result of the occurrence of a hazard. There may be a resulting cost associated with the risk.
A system supplying a public need such as transport, communications, or utilities such as electricity and water.
An organisation responsible for providing a service.
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost.
