EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Year-to-date (YTD) performance against current budget as at 31 January 2023 is positive with
operating revenues outperforming forecast. Operating expenditure is under forecast YTD, with an
underspend in Employee Costs currently offsetting an overspend in Materials and Services. Capital
revenues are above forecast while capital expenditure is below forecast due to timing of project
delivery.

The $5.0 million YTD operating surplus comprises $4.4 million general operating surplus from
activities that are funded through Council’s general rate, regulatory fees and sales of goods and
services; as well an additional $0.4 million from waste operations and $0.2k in unspent levy and
separate charge funds which are constrained in reserve for future use. The general operating
surplus position is also augmented by a number of incomplete grant-funded programs.
