Capital Budget - 2016 Budget Summary
2016 Capital Budget Overview
- Capital Budget Summary by Department

- Capital Budget with Nine Year Forecast
- Capital Budget Summary Details
Niagara Region's capital budget aligns with the same timeframe as the operating budget, with a common goal of balancing our immediate and future needs with affordability. Capital projects and assets include such things as:
- Vehicles
- Roads
- Bridges
- Water lines
- Buildings
- Software systems
- Equipment
In your personal financing, it would be the equivalent of purchasing large items, such as a house or car, where you may not readily have the available cash to buy the product outright, and often have the need to finance these purchases through other means (such as a mortgage, loan).
Similarly, at the Region we use various forms of financing to support our capital plan, including:
- Debt financing
- Dollars from other levels of government
- Reserves (accumulated from previous planning)
- Levy (current year taxes)
Debt financing is proposed in an extremely conservative manner, with no more than 11 cents of every own source revenue dollar being spent on financing the debt from capital projects.
The bulk of our capital spend occurs in our Public Works area (transportation, water and wastewater divisions), and to a smaller extent in Corporate Services (properties and information technology), Community Services (seniors homes), and Public Health (emergency medical services).
To create our capital budget, we rely on a number of key pieces of information, most importantly a current inventory of our capital assets and the condition of those assets. We also develop two key pieces of information, and create multi-year plans to support our future needs based on forecasted residential and business growth and on how we plan on financing those projects.
Once all of this information is brought together, Council is able to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the annual capital budget.
Regional Council approved a $165 million capital budget, including 147 distinct projects. The capital budget was created with consideration for council's strategic priorities, including Moving People and Goods; Fostering Innovation; Investment and Entrepreneurship; Building a Labour-ready Workforce; Positioning Niagara Globally; and Doing Business Differently.
