SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     6 NOVEMBER 2018


Previous Council Consideration

Finance
The Department has delivered a pleasing first quarter, with group revenue ahead of budget by
$280k (2.72% up) and expenditure $163k below budget (1.9% down). The net position of the
Department sits at a positive variance to budget of $443k.

Solid revenue performance has been seen across most teams, with the most notable positive
variance being revenue from the sale of recyclables up by $143k. Expenditure relating to
employee costs and materials and services is slightly under budget in many areas.

Risks & Opportunities
The upcoming introduction of the state-wide waste levy presents a large change for the Waste
team and the community more broadly, with elements of its implementation yet to be made clear
by the state government. This uncertainty makes planning for its introduction difficult and
presents some risk to Council.

Other risks and opportunities currently present within the Department sit within the normal
bounds of those regularly encountered and accepted by Council.
