policy and guidelines regarding the investment of surplus funds, with the objective to maximise
earnings within approved risk guidelines, following ethical investment principles where appropriate
to ensure the security of funds.

For the purpose of this policy, investments are defined as arrangements that are undertaken or
acquired for producing income and apply only to the cash investments of Council. This policy applies
to the investment of all surplus funds held by Council.
For the purposes of the appointment of an external fund manager pursuant to section 59 of the Act,
to operate in a manner consistent with this policy will constitute compliance.

Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangement Act 1982 (the Act) without further approval.

Policy will be reviewed and reissued for the subsequent change in legislation.
