Finance

The Department has performed to a satisfactory standard for the first quarter of the 2019/20 year
with all branches in a sound financial position in relation to the annual budget. There are several
issues which are being monitored including the impact of the closure of the Noosa Aquatic
Centre and the requirement for Cleanaway to use a spotter at the landfill to improve safety of
vehicle and pedestrian movement.

Risks & Opportunities
The major risks facing the department include:
 managing waste and associated emissions;
 responding to funding changes in Noosa Community Support;
 completing the Rufous Street Stage 3 development on-time and within budget; and
 managing transition of key staff close to retirement.

The main opportunities the department is investigating include:
 reviewing Council’s role in affordable housing;
 exploring new service models for the Library’s outreach services;
 identifying process improvements through the Noosability project and
 diversifying revenue streams
