Colwood, BC Sustainable Infrastructure Replacement Plan

Complete

Colwood produced a 50-year spending forecast based on an infrastructure condition assessment. The forecast found a $290 million CAD shortfall for infrastructure replacement based on current spending practices. City officials responded to this forecast by recommending the use of new tax revenue from construction projects for infrastructure maintenance. Additional policies include the use of retired debt payments for a dedicated fund and full life-cycle analyses for new projects.
