The first row is the main decision-maker. Each row says what a body decides and links to the law, order or bylaw that gives it that role. It does not say who caused a change: markets, households and other governments also move these numbers. Who decides what, for every measure · How we choose

In plain words
Spending on new and replaced City assets (buildings, roads, pipes, equipment) in the year, as a share of the amount in the City’s financial plan.
How we decide “Falling”
The change is 22.4% of the earlier value, at or above the 5% threshold.
2025: $64,167,813 acquired against $164,272,000 in the financial plan (39.1%). 2024: $77,224,466 against $153,162,000 (50.4%), from the 2024 annual report.
Outcome measures read Better, Worse or About the same; published government targets read Ahead of, On or Behind target; value-judgement measures read Rising, Falling or Steady in a neutral colour. A change smaller than the agency's own margin of error, or otherwise smaller than 5% of the earlier value, is About the same (or Steady). No change is calculated across a marked break in a series. The rule.
Keep in mind
Why it matters. It compares what the City planned to build or replace with what it did. Shown for context, without a better or worse label.
- Both figures are the line “Acquisition of tangible capital assets” in the City’s audited Statement of Change in Net Financial Assets: the Financial Plan column and the actual column.
- Capital work not done in the year is usually carried forward to later years.
- The 2025 report restates 2024 at $73,457,247; the 2024 report showed $77,224,466. Each year is read from its own report here.
