FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT MAY 2026 · Report

ORDINARY MEETING                                                                          18 JUNE 2026


Risk & Opportunities
Council’s risk register identifies a number of risks that could impact on its ongoing financial
sustainability.

In order to manage and mitigate these risks, Council uses various tools which include monthly
ongoing financial reporting to identify and address emerging issues, conservative budgeting,
compliance with the Financial Sustainability Policy, regular budget reviews, effective liquidity
management (to ensure sufficient fiscal flexibility), as well as adhering to the Reserves and
Restricted Cash policy which requires that Council maintains both a disaster management reserve
and a minimum 3 months cash cover to fund emergent matters.

At 31 May 2026, noting the financial impacts of the reclassification of Work In Progress (WIP)
projects and reprofiling / amendments to the timing of the delivery of the capital works program, there
are no other identified financial risks that will negatively impact Council's forecasted financial position
at 30 June 2026.
