The first instalment payable under the Tourism Noosa agreement for the 2023-24 financial year was
made in July.

Tourism and economic development activity is funded through the general rate, with 5.8% of the
annual general rate committed towards tourism and economic development. Should actual general
rate revenue fall below budget, this does not impact Council’s contractual commitment to fully fund
its contribution to Tourism Noosa and all associated tourism activity. Any general rate revenue
shortfall is funded through other general revenue sources to ensure all planned activities are
undertaken in full.

Capital Revenue
Full Year Capital revenue of $0.1 million received comprises cash contributions from developers
($41.2k) and capital grants ($39.6k). Note that the timing of capital grant receipts are generally
dependent on the timing of grant conditions and also capital delivery performance, and that the
timing of the receipt of developer contributions (both cash and contributed) is unpredictable.

Council has received funding approval from the Queensland Reconstruction Authority for
reconstruction works relating to the Black Mountain landslip and several other flood impacted
