Financial Performance Report April 2026

ORDINARY MEETING                                                                          21 MAY 2026




The differences in commentary between the two tables in relation to materials and services is due
to the utilisation of different selection codes within Council's financial system in order to comply with
our external reporting obligations.

In the last week of April 2026, Council officers commenced the recording of the impact of the Middle
East Conflict (the Conflict) on Council's materials and services. In the last week of April an additional
$4k of expenditure was directly attributable to the Conflict. These costs will now be reported to
Council on a monthly basis.

As yet, the budgetary impact of increasing fuel costs for Council's fleet and plant is yet to be realised
against profiled budgets, with the higher than anticipated fleet costs noted above largely attributable
to the external hire of plant and equipment $0.1m.

Tourism and Economic Development Investment
Council resolved to report on a monthly basis, investment details for tourism and economic
development. Expenditure on Tourism and Economic Development activities to 30 April 2026 is
outlined in the below table.




Details on specific project expenditures within the Tourism and Economic Development cost centres
are outlined in the following table.
