       Actual operating expenses have exceeded budget largely due to variable operating costs
        such as management commissions.

       Actual revenue has exceeded budget due to conservative Covid-19 revenue assumptions.
       The new management company which commenced in October 2020 has introduced new
        business processes which have positively impacted revenue.
       Actual operating expenses exceeded budget largely due to variable operating costs and
        increases to operating and maintenance expenditure as a result of the new waste water and
        water treatment systems commissioned in January 2020.

2. Covid-19 Reopening and Operational Plans
Covid-19 Risk Registers were prepared for each site at the beginning of the pandemic with a suite
of control measures implemented to minimise risk of Covid-19 transmission. Extensive consultation
was undertaken with park managers and Council’s Covid-19 Taskforce to develop these registers.
Covid-safe operation of the parks continues to remain a focus in line with Council’s commitment
and to ensuring that the operational, guest and staff environment at each park is Covid-safe. All
reasonable control measures are actioned and implemented with adherence and compliance with
Queensland Health directives.
