RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Corporate Services to the Special Meeting dated 6

Statement of Estimated Financial Position for the 2017/18 Financial Year which is provided as
Attachment 1 to the report.



REPORT
The Statement of Estimated Financial Position is a statement that must be presented to the
Council as part of the Council’s annual budget meeting and is a requirement under section 205 of
the Local Government Regulation 2012.

The Statement of Estimated Financial Position is a document that states the estimated financial
operations and financial position of Council for the 2017/18 financial year.

The financial statements as provided in Attachment 1 provides a comparison between the
2017/18 original budget and the latest forecast (being the current budget or Budget Review 3
adopted at Council’s Ordinary meeting on 19 April 2018).

It should be noted that end of financial year adjustments such as changes in employee payables
in addition to asset adjustments may change the final financial position once known.

As part of transparent reporting processes interim financial performance is reported to Council in
the July round of meetings, with a final financial year-end wrap up report provided following
completion of the audit by the Queensland Audit Office (usually November or December each
year).

Nil.
