REPORT
1.                       Annual Report and Financial Statements

The development and publication of the Annual Report by Queensland local governments is a
requirement under the Local Government Regulation 2012 (“the Regulation”). The purpose of the
report is to inform the community about Council’s activities and financial performance throughout
the 2018/19 financial year.

The Regulation prescribes a range of disclosures which must be included within the report
relating primarily to accountability matters, financial matters (which may be of interest to the
community in terms of the amounts spent and justification of expenditure) and Council’s progress
towards achieving its Corporate Plan objectives.

The report has been compiled in accordance with the Annual Report Compliance Checklist
produced by the Department of Local Government to ensure that all of the prescribed disclosures
under the Regulation are included in the document.

Council’s Financial Statements which were signed by a delegate of the Auditor General
Queensland on 28 October 2019, and in accordance with the Auditor General Act 2009, confirm:
 The prescribed requirements in relation to the establishment and keeping of accounts have
   been complied with in all material respects;
                                                 
