Capital Revenue
YTD capital revenue of $10.8 million received comprises cash contributions from developers ($2.1
million) and capital grants ($8.5 million). Note that the timing of capital grant receipts are generally
dependent on the timing of grant conditions and also capital delivery performance, and that the timing
of the receipt of developer contributions (both cash and contributed) is unpredictable.

Cash Management and Investment Performance
Total cash on hand at the end of May was $73.1 million. Included in this balance are funds held in
trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds), cash inflows from the
January rate levy, prepaid grants including the financial assistance grant and other capital works
grants, as well as any other monies committed for funding capital projects which are underway and
will continue during the financial year.

The following pie charts present the mix of cash held at May 2021 by agency (graph on the left) and
by credit risk rating (graph on the right). All funds have been invested in accordance with the
Investment Policy and in consideration of the principles of ethical investment, preservation of capital,
