SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               6 FEBRUARY 2018


Cost per visit

The cost per visit, exclusive of depreciation and internal charges was $1.78, down 5.8% on last
year’s half-yearly measure of $1.89. Inclusive of all costs this figure increases to $4.93, up
significantly on last year’s figure of $3.85 due entirely to a change in the methodology of
allocating internal charges and an increase in depreciation expenses.

For further performance context, historical NLC financials for the past three full financial years
are shown below:

3.    STAFFING

NLC has one full-time member of staff (NLC Coordinator) and approximately 15 casual staff.

As a result of the NLC service review, minor labour savings opportunities were identified and
implemented from July. Staff have been upskilled to fulfil both café and reception duties, leading
to a reduction in staff required during quieter times of the day.
