Aberdeenshire Council has a responsibility for land, buildings and other assets. These include operational property such as schools, libraries, sports facilities, old peoples homes, hostels and administrative offices from which services are provided to the public.
In order to utilise these operational assets efficiently, Aberdeenshire Council has produced the Corporate Asset Management Plan.The plan outlines the councils' approach to Asset Management and summarises projects identified following asset based service reviews.
This plan will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure strategies correspond with the Council's strategic priorities, best value and the needs of communities.
