The department is continually challenged to make maximum use of limited financial resources in keeping our district buildings in excellent condition. The following table shows total replacement value of our buildings, additional recommended renewal expenditure for each year, renewal expenditure made in that year, the additional amount of maintenance deferred each year, and accumulated deferred maintenance that has been added to deferred maintenance prior to 1995-96. A renewal expenditure is the amount of money spent to bring a component of the infrastructure back to its original condition and performance. For example, a roof would have a lifetime of 20 years and so its renewal cycle would be 20 years. The portion of recommended renewal expenditure not spent on infrastructure each year is called deferred maintenance.
Deferred maintenance continues to add each year to the deficiencies of the buildings.
