    Collingwood seeks community input to inform its Asset Management Plan (AMP)

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [09 April 2025] – The Town is developing an Asset Management Plan (AMP) to determine how it manages its nearly $700 Million in infrastructure assets, such as roads, bridges, recreational facilities, sewers and more.

    Council and staff are looking for the community’s feedback to inform that plan and ensure these assets continue to help everyone get around and enjoy life in Collingwood for years to come.

    “Every day, we work to make sure our assets are in good working order and serving our community. Like doing regular oil changes and maintenance on a car, we need to do the same with our assets to ensure they last for a long time,’ says Jennifer Graham, Director, Finance / Treasurer. “We also need to plan ahead so that we know where to focus taxpayer dollars.”

    The plan guides how the Town prioritizes assets, balances costs, and considers risks and benefits. It covers several different types of assets that include:

    • Water
    • Transportation – roads, bridges and sidewalks
    • Stormwater and wastewater systems
    • Recreation facilities and parks


    Community feedback needed

    The Town is encouraging residents to complete a survey to better understand the community’s preferences and priorities related to assets.
    The survey will ask:

    • How well the community thinks the Town is doing in maintaining municipal assets
    • Where there are opportunities to improve
    • What the priorities should be

    The plan will be aligned with the Town’s 2024-2028 Community-Based Strategic Plan that centres on delivering essential programs and services, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively to meet the community’s needs.

    Visit Engage.collingwood.ca/asset-management-plan to learn more and take the survey! Surveys are also available in hard copy at Town Hall, Service Collingwood counter (97 Hurontario Street) and the Collingwood Public Library (55 Ste. Marie Street).

    The survey deadline is 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
