Finance

The Department has performed strongly for the first three quarters of 2019/20 and at the end of
March shows a net $1.2M year-to-date position ahead of projected budget. The impact of COVID-
19, a lower revenue profile for the final quarter and committed expenditure will have a significant
impact on the final budget position for 19/20.

Risks & Opportunities
The major risks facing the department include:
   managing the operational and financial impacts of Coronavirus COVID-19
   managing waste and associated emissions;
   responding to funding changes in Noosa Community Support;
   co-ordinating effective transition of key staff close to retirement.

The main opportunities the Department is investigating include:
   adapting service models to changes brought about by COVID-19
   reviewing Council’s role in affordable housing;
   exploring new service models for the library’s outreach services; and
   diversifying revenue streams.
