CAPITAL PROGRAM
CONTRIBUTION & EXPENDITURE OVERVIEW
2017-2021 FINANCIAL PLAN
The Capital Financial Plan allocates available financial resources to proposed
investments in capital.
Because Surrey is a growing city, its capital requirements are significant. Each year, the
City builds and acquires assets such as roads, parks and equipment. The City also
makes upgrades to existing infrastructure and replaces obsolete or worn-out
components.
Capital projects compete for limited financial resources. To prioritize these resources,
Council uses a Capital Planning Process and a Capital Ranking Model. Council has also
adopted a Five Year Operating Model and Capital Financial Planning Model. The
process and models are described in the Capital Planning Process section that follows.
