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
CRITICAL ASSETS Assets for which the the financial, business or service level consequences of failure are sufficiently severe to justify proactive inspection and rehabilitation. Critical assets have a lower threshold for action than noncritical assets. IIMM
Critical Assets - Critical assets are assets for which the financial, business or service level consequences of failure are sufficiently severe to justify proactive inspection and rehabilitation. Critical assets have a lower threshold for action than non-critical assets.
Criticality - Criticality is the quality, state, or degree of being of the highest importance. 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
DECOMMISSION Activities required to take an asset out of service.
IIMM
The period from the acquisition of the asset to the time when the asset, while physically able to provide a service, ceases to be the lowest cost alternative to satisfy a particular level of service. The economic life is at the maximum when equal to the physical life, however obsolescence will often ensure that the economic life is less than the physical life. IIMM
The Economic Life of an asset is the length of time for which maintaining and operating the asset remains the lowest cost alternative for providing a nominated level of service. LGAM
The period over which an asset is expected to be economically useable by one or more users or the number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by one or more users. AIFMG 2009
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
The net market or recoverable value which would be realised from disposal of an asset or facility at the end of its life.
IIMM
The residual value (salvage value) of an asset is the estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. - AASB 116.
LGAM
Residual value is the estimated amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already at the end of its useful life. Residual value may be recognised in infrastl1lcture in certain circumstances such as where the asset has a salvage value and/or cost to renew an asset is less that the cost to replace the asset. Residual value may be used to relate the asset's asset management practices and procedures to its accounting treatment.
AIFMG 2009
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.
IIMM
The current value of a non-current asset of a local government is the loss that it would incur if it were deprived of the asset’s utility (or service potential). (Synonymous with ‘deprival value’.)
