The Five Key Asset Categories
- Human Assets: The skills, talents, and professional expertise of individuals living in the wards.

- Physical Assets: Natural resources, existing infrastructure, schools, and vacant land.
- Economic Assets: Local businesses, household savings, and consumer spending power within the municipality.
