Previous Council Consideration
Nil


Finance
•     Operational surplus from the Noosa Holiday Parks offset general rate increases and also
      contribute to Council meeting its financial sustainability policy requirements.
•     Council business activities, such as waste management and holiday parks, are required to
      operate on a full cost pricing (FCP) basis to ensure the competitive neutrality principle is complied
      with. Advance fees have been set with consideration of likely inflation movements in materials
      and services and resulting FCP implications.


Risk & Opportunities
Risks:
•     Failure to apply the competition neutrality principle through full cost pricing would constitute a
      breach of the Local Government Act 2009 and may also result in competitive neutrality
      complaints to the Queensland Competition Authority.
