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
A defect of an asset which adversely affects its ability to safely provide a service.
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.

An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
A network asset is an asset that is considered to be part of a network. Network assets are interconnected assets that rely on each other to provide a service. If a network asset is removed the system may not function to full capacity.
LGAM
Individual asset which, together with others, performs a service.
DERM
(ODV) This is a set of rules, rather than a valuation approach, which describe the value boundaries for specified assets employed in monopoly markets. The rules are a combination of a cost based approach (ODRC) and the economic value where the ODV is taken to be the lowest of these.
IIMM
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’.)
