General Practice Guidelines

These Professional Practice Guidelines – Local Government Asset Management were developed by Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia to guide professional practice related to Engineering/Geoscience Professionals working in and contributing to the practice of Asset Management in Local Governments in British Columbia, including contributions to the preparation of Asset Management Policies, Asset Management Strategies, and Asset Management Plans, as well as other inputs to the Asset Management planning process.

These guidelines were first published in 2021 to provide guidance and establish a standard for professional engineering and geoscience practice in the Local Government Asset Management field.

These guidelines describe the expectations and obligations of professional practice in relation to the specific professional activity of Asset Management to be followed at the time they were prepared. However, this is a living document that is to be revised and updated as required in the future, to reflect the developing state of practice.
