Health and safety, accessibility and housing are also important aspects of community infrastructure and key components of the City's community planning work. When residents, businesses and visitors can enjoy a safe, supportive, stimulating environment, they can feel secure and thrive, which in turn benefits the community as a whole.

Management of the City's infrastructure is a core service. Existing infrastructure must be maintained amid new demands and pressures such as growth and technological change. Effective management of the City's assets also requires careful planning and balance. When the City is financial healthy, its public infrastructure can better accommodate growth in the community, making it easier for the City to meet the diverse needs of its citizens and advance its sustainability goals.
