Highlights and achievements
In line with previous years, Council has achieved a strong financial result for the 2016/17 year. The
following key outcomes were achieved during the period:
1. An operating surplus of $3.1 million as a result of strong revenue growth and good expenditure
management, as well as some unspent levy funds that are required to be held for future use.
2. An increase in cash holdings and a decrease in debt levels required to be repaid.
3. No significant issues identified in the annual audit of Council’s finances by the Queensland
Government.
Where was the budget spent?
Council spends significant amounts of ratepayer funds providing a range of services to the Noosa
community. A summary of the cost of the services for our major service areas is provided in the graph
below. Spending on these services (including roads, bridges, parks, community facilities and waste
management) makes up a significant component of Council’s annual budget.
