 Revenue: Budgeted operating grant revenue has decreased significantly as a result of 50% of
   the 2017/18 annual Financial Assistance Grant being prepaid by the Queensland Government
   in June 2017 (effectively a cash flow timing issue). Increased revenue has been identified from
   NDRRA grants paid to reimburse 2016/17 costs relating to the ex TC Debbie clean-up, the take
   up of general rates revenue received above budget, interest revenue above budget as well as
   NAC pool admissions, caravan park site bookings, local laws infringements and development
   application fees all above budget expectations.

The proposed operational budget adjustments will result in a $60k decrease to the operating
surplus. The financial statements in Appendices 4 and 5 outline the revised budget position.
