Cash Management and Investment Performance
Total cash on hand at the end of March was $100.2 million. Included in this balance are funds held
in trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds), prepaid grants
including the financial assistance grant and other capital works grants, January rates payments
received, and unspent monies committed for funding capital projects which are underway and will
continue during the financial year.
The following pie charts present the mix of cash held at March 2022 by agency (graph on the left)
and by credit risk rating (graph on the right). All funds have been invested in accordance with the
Investment Policy and in consideration of the principles of ethical investment, preservation of
capital, return on investment and counterparty thresholds.

The following chart monitors the 12 month trend on total cash and the agencies invested. Payments
received in February from bi-annual rates generated a significant increase in cash, which have and
will be invested in short term QTC deposits in line with Council’s Investment Policy. The QTC cash
rate currently offers the best available short term investment rate when compared to rates being
offered by the commercial institutions.
