Annual Report 2018-19

Figure 7 shows Council’s cash and debt holdings as at 30 June 2019 compared to the previous year. Both cash and debt
levels have decreased, which is reflective of the $10 million early loan repayment made during the 2018/19 year. Our net
cash position (i.e. cash less debt) however still actually increased by $3.7 million during the year.
