Finance & Risk
The Free Holiday Buses initiative was funded under Council’s Public Transport Levy. A budget
of $81,500 was approved at Council’s Ordinary Meeting of 6 February 2014. A number of
savings have since been identified including a reduction in street banners, advertising, shuttle
services and supplier-related cost savings.

Services      $42,081.80
Marketing     $25,000 (approximately).

It is estimated that the cost per trip during the 8-day period was $2.03.

It is anticipated that the final expenditure for the initiative will be $67,000. Once final Invoices
have been received and processed, an adjustment (reduction) will be required in the quarterly
budget review.
