A summary of Council investment performance to the end of December 2025 is outlined in the
following table and graph. As the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index % had not been released
at the time of the writing of this report, November's figure has been used for comparative
purposes.




As indicated above, at 31 December 2025 Council's total cash balance was $125.4m which is
$24.0m or 23.7% higher than at 31 December 2024 with this increasing cash balance mainly due to
recent ongoing delays to Council's capital works programs and Council's FY2026 year to date
financial performance.
