Key Comments Boreen Point Campground
    Operating revenue for the 2017/18 financial year has slightly exceeded budget primarily
      due to favourable weather conditions resulting in strong visitation.
    Operating expenses for the 2017/18 financial year are over budget primarily due to
      management commissions exceeding budget by $15,000 and timing of maintenance works
      including replacement of hot water systems, valves and installation of filtration to hot water
      systems and additional Unitywater water quality testing charges.

Key Comments Noosa North Shore Beach Campground
    Operating revenue for the 2017/18 financial year is in line with budget.
    Operating expenses for the 2017/18 financial slightly exceeded budget. This is primarily
      due to increased water delivery charges because of dry conditions between September
      and March and increased effluent cartage costs.
    It is now expected that the tender for construction of major upgrades for the facility will
      commence in the first quarter of 2019 and the wastewater treatment installation completed
      prior to the upcoming Christmas school holiday period.

PARK OCCUPANCY PERFORMANCE
The table below summarises occupancy data to 30 June 2018. The table highlights a 91%
occupancy rate for Noosa River Holiday Park (with powered caravan sites at 97% occupancy)
which reflects the location of the park and its popularity with customers. The Noosa North Shore
and Boreen Point Campgrounds’ lower occupancy rates reflect that these facilities are more
remote and offer a different experience for customers.
