SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                      10 MARCH 2020


BCC broadly tracked in line with budget for the first 6 months of 2019/20, with revenue $3k under
forecast, as was the case with expenditure. These two variances almost entirely offset each other,
with the net result for the period being a favourable variance to budget of just under $20.

The overview of historical performance below shows a clear trend of revenue growth which is
largely associated with the growth of Montessori Noosa. Most areas of expenditure have been
relatively well contained over the past few years. The increase in depreciation expense is a result
of the expanded footprint of the hall which was extended by the Gymnastics Club using Club and
state government funds.

Visitation summary

No visitation data is available for the centre as BCC doesn’t host any Council programs.

Recent achievements

As BCC now effectively operates as a leased property without direct Council programs, the
achievements are largely restricted to the improved financial performance of the site.

Upcoming priorities

The following priorities will be key focuses for management throughout the second half of 2019/20:
     Updating Noosa Gymnastic Club’s lease to reflect the expanded building footprint.
     Working with Montessori Noosa as they expand operations within the rear annexe and
      sunroom.
