Mayor and CEO’s Introduction We are delighted to present this Budget for 2018/19, which will deliver a balanced cash budget for the first time in many years. Achieving this long-term goal is due to a great deal of careful work by Council officers with strategic guidance from Councillors.

In preparing this $28.86 million Budget, Council has continued to adhere to a set of key principles to achieve a balanced budget over time, and ensuring we can maintain a financially sound path going forward, while still delivering key projects and initiatives for the community. These principles, which include maintaining strong funding support for the Capital Works Program ($8.2 million in total), and no new borrowings, have underpinned a careful review of Council’s finances to ensure we will maintain our financial sustainability levels at low risk as measured by the Victorian Auditor General. This is important, given the continuing challenges that an ongoing rate cap mandated by the Victorian Government places on us. For the 2018/19 year, this cap is set at 2.25%.

Finding savings each year to meet the impact of continued rate capping in conjunction with an increasing demand for services is an ongoing challenge. As a small rural Council, we rely heavily on rates, grant funding, and have little capacity to cover reductions in revenue through other sources, such as user fees and parking fees. This Budget continues to deliver the range and quality of services provided by Council from road construction, maternal and child health services, libraries, town planning, actions to keep our environment clean, providing leisure facilities, waste services and much more. It also details the funding that is required to deliver these services and maintain community infrastructure. It has been developed based on tight expenditure control and a review of Council’s priorities in the Council Plan 2017-2021. The Council Plan was reviewed and made available for public comment at the same time as this Budget to ensure Council’s continuing alignment with community priorities. Importantly, this Budget delivers a number of key Council Plan projects to the community, including part of the Beechworth to Yackandandah (Osbornes Flat) cycle path ($1.645 million, including Council contribution of $100,000), and completion of the Rutherglen Main Street streetscape works $64,000 in the Rutherglen Economic Revitalisation Project including Lake King $786,000, funded entirely through grant funds. Council made the difficult decision in December 2017 to transition aged care services to a new provider from July 2018 in preparation for the substantial structural and funding changes at the Commonwealth level from 2020. Council will continue to deliver the strategic support and service planning needed for our aged community.

There is also provision in the Budget to fund initiatives arising from the new Tourism Strategy ($50,000), planning for the Yackandandah to Beechworth mountain bike trail ($30,000) and priorities emerging from the Active Indigo strategy ($40,000). There is also additional support for libraries ($12,309) and a hoist for the library van ($15,000). The former Beechworth Railway Goods Shed will undergo a major refurbishment thanks to a Federal Government grant of $230,000 under the Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Program. Council will match the funding to turn that building and surrounds into a commercial space aligning with rail trail traffic and associated needs as well as potential food and hospitality services.

* - denote items fully or part funded by grants or contributions Tight cost controls are in place across all service areas of Council and this has enabled overall operating expenses increase to be below the 2.25% cap. This carries some risk as it means that Council has little flexibility to respond to unanticipated demand across services or to respond to contingencies that may arise over the coming financial year. Despite the limitations and challenges, we are confident that this Budget and the reviewed Council Plan delivers excellent outcomes for the Indigo Shire community. There is a strong balance between the need to maintain assets and capital works levels and the need to sustain services that support how our communities live. In closing, we thank Council staff for their efforts in developing this Budget and Councillors who have also worked hard to ensure this Budget is sound and continues our focus on balancing services and infrastructure with ongoing financial sustainability.

1. Link to the Council Plan This section describes how the Annual Budget links to the achievement of the Council Plan within an overall planning and reporting framework. This framework guides the Council in identifying community needs and aspirations over the long term, medium term (Council Plan) and short term (Annual Budget) and then holding itself accountable (Annual Report).

1.1 Planning and accountability framework The Strategic Resource Plan, part of and prepared in conjunction with the Council Plan, is a rolling four-year plan that outlines the financial and non-financial resources that Council requires to achieve the strategic objectives described in the Council Plan. The Annual Budget is framed within the Strategic Resource Plan, considering the services and initiatives, which contribute to achieving the strategic objectives specified in the Council Plan. The diagram below depicts the planning and accountability framework that applies to local government in Victoria.

Source: Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning

In addition to the above, Council has a long-term plan which articulates a community vision, mission and values. The Council Plan is prepared with reference to Council's long term Community Plan. The timing of each component of the planning framework is critical to the successful achievement of the planned outcomes.

4. Notes to the financial statements

4.1 Comprehensive Income Statement

4.1.1 Rates and charges

Rates and charges are required by the Act and the Regulations to be disclosed in Council’s annual budget. In developing the Strategic Resource Plan, rates and charges were identified as an important source of revenue. Planning for future rate increases has therefore been an important component of the Strategic Resource Planning process. Rate capping sets out the maximum amount councils may increase rates in a year. For 2018/19, the rate cap has been set at 2.25%. The cap applies to both general rates and municipal charges and calculated based on council’s average rates and charges. The level of required rates and charges has been considered in this context, with reference to Council's other sources of income and the planned expenditure on services and works to be undertaken for the community. To achieve these objectives while maintaining service levels and a strong capital expenditure program, the average general rate and the municipal charge will increase by 2.25% in line with the rate cap. This will raise total rates and charges for 2018/19 to $16,250,093. 4.1.1(a) The reconciliation of the total rates and charges to the Comprehensive Income Statement is as

4.1.1(m) Any significant changes that may affect the estimated amounts to be raised by rates and

charges

There are no known significant changes that may affect the estimated amounts to be raised by rates and charges. However, the total amount to be raised by rates and charges may be affected by:

The making of supplementary valuations

The variation of returned levels of value (e.g. valuation appeals)

Changes of use of land such that rateable land becomes non-rateable land and vice versa

Changes of use of land such that residential land becomes business land and vice versa. 4.1.1(n) Differential rates

Over the last few years, council have undertaken several reviews of the Council Rating Strategy in accordance with the Council Plan. Council adopted a Rating Strategy on 26 April 2016. The 2017/18 Budget is predicated on the rating differentials defined in the adopted Rating Strategy. The rate and amount of rates payable in relation to land in each category of differential are:

A rate of 0.3317% (0.3317 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable general properties;

A rate of 0.6633% (0.6633 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable residential vacant properties;

A rate of 0.2488% (0.2488 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable rural 1 properties;

A rate of 0.2985% (0.2985 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable rural 2 properties;

A rate of 0.4478% (0.4478 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable commercial/industrial properties.

Each differential rate will be determined by multiplying the Capital Improved Value (CIV) of each rateable land (categorised by the characteristics described below) by the relevant percentages indicated above. Council considers that each differential rate will contribute to the equitable and efficient carrying out of council functions. Details of the objectives of each differential rate, the types of classes of land, which are subject to each differential rate and the uses of each differential rate, are set out below. General Rate to provide an equitable rate for owners of all property not elsewhere described and includes residential property up to and including 8 hectares.

Residential Vacant Rate to provide an equitable rate for owners of residential type land that currently does not contain buildings but has the potential to be utilised for residential type accommodation or development that will place a similar demand for Council's services as the other residential type classifications.

Rural 1 {>40ha} Rate to provide an equitable rate for large-scale primary producers to: - 1. encourage land use consistent with farming activities as defined by section 2, Valuation of

Land Act (1960*) and conservation of areas which are suited for agricultural pursuits, 2. recognise the inequity of the State Government requirement for property based rating

system, 3. encourage uses compatible with the physical capacity of the land, 4. conserve the resources of soil, flora and fauna and the significant natural features in areas

identified as having ecological and landscape interest value, 5. conserve as far as possible the existing patterns of vegetation to maintain landscape quality.

Rural 2 {8<40ha} Rate to provide an equitable rate for small-scale primary production to: - 1. encourage land use consistent with farming activities as defined by section 2, Valuation of

Land Act (1960*) and conservation of areas which are suited for agricultural pursuits,

2. recognise the inequity of the State Government requirement for property based rating system,

3. encourage uses compatible with the physical capacity of the land, 4. conserve the resources of soil, flora and fauna and the significant natural features in areas

identified as having ecological and landscape interest value, 5. conserve as far as possible the existing patterns of vegetation to maintain landscape quality.

Commercial/Industrial Rate to provide an equitable rate for commercial and industrial use land which reflects capacity of the property and for which Council may provide additional services. This may include Home Industry type properties.

Increases in statutory fees are generally made in accordance with legislative requirements. Statutory fees that are not mandated by other Government authorities and are set by Council are generally in the order of a 2.25% increase for the 2018/19 Budget year. Total Statutory fees are forecast to increase by 18.8%. The increase is due to the State Revenue Office (SRO) being charged biannually for the use of Council’s valuation data. With the 2018/19 year being a valuation year. In addition, an increase in food premises registrations because of the inclusion of Alpine Resorts business.

4.1.4 Grants Grants are required by the Act and the Regulations to be disclosed in Council’s annual budget. Operating grants include all monies received from State and Federal sources for the purposes of funding the delivery of Council’s services to ratepayers. Since the draft budget was released, the State Government has announced the early payment of 50% ($2.35 million) of the Federal Assistance Grant in 2017/18. This pre-payment clouds the budget figures for 2018/19 and reduces the visibility of the underlying responsible budget that has been prepared by Council. This $2.35 million timing variation reduces the income for 2018/19 and produces a significantly negative bottom-line result on paper. Overall, the level of operating grants has decreased by 43% compared to 2017/18. With the decrease, attributed to 50% of 2018/19 Federal Government Financial Assistance Grant being received during the 2017/18 financial year. In addition, Council are expecting to receive non-recurrent State grants to assist with improving non-Indigo owned assets across the shire. With these increases offset by the reduction in Aged Care grant funding because of the transitioning of this service.

Capital grants include all monies received from State, Federal and community sources for the purposes of funding the Capital Works program. Grants include the Road to Recovery funding. With some capital projects reliant on the successful applications for Building Better Regions, and Rail Trail funding. As has been the norm in recent prior years. Council has continued the practice within the 2018/19 Budget to only include Capital Grant funding and associated projects within the Capital Works program that have had grant funding confirmed as at the end of May 2018. Except for six projects, which will require committed Council funding; Chiltern Industrial Employment Precinct works, Chiltern Athenaeum, Sheridans Bridge Road Bridge, Escort Bridge Road Bridge, Beechworth to Osbornes Flat cycle path and Beechworth to Osbornes Flat enhancement project, totalling $2.23 million.

The majority of Inventory relates to the value of quarry material held in stockpile and Buller Gas LPG gas held in tank at year-end. It also contains smaller amounts for parts held in stores and merchandise held for resale. The value of Inventory is projected to increase slightly due to expected higher levels of quarry stock at 30 June 2018. Other assets include items such as prepayments for expenses that Council has paid in advance of service delivery and other revenues due to be received in the next 12 months.

Property, infrastructure, plant and equipment is the largest component of Council’s worth and represents the value of all the land, buildings, roads, plant, vehicles, equipment, etc. which has been built up by the Council over many years. The increase in this balance is attributable to the net result of the 2017/18 Capital Works Program, plus Asset Revaluations for the year less depreciation of assets, less the Written Down Value of assets disposed of during the year.

4.2.2 Liabilities Trade and other payables are those to whom Council owes money as at 30 June. These liabilities are budgeted to slightly decrease compared to the 2017/18 levels. Provisions include accrued long service leave, annual leave and rostered days off owing to employees. These employee entitlements are expected to increase in line with salary movements. Landfill rehabilitation provision has been adjusted and increased based on current market expectation for rehabilitation of landfills.

4.2.3 Borrowings The table below shows information on borrowings specifically required by the Regulations.

4.3 Statement of changes in Equity

4.3.1 Reserves

Statutory reserves These funds must be applied for specified statutory purposes in accordance with various legislative requirements, e.g., car parking. While these funds earn interest revenue for Council, the funds are not available for other purposes. Discretionary reserves These funds are shown as discretionary reserves as, although not restricted by a statutory purpose, Council has made decisions regarding the future use of these funds and unless there is a Council resolution these funds should be used for those earmarked purposes.

4.3.2 Equity

Total equity is made up of the following components:

asset revaluation reserve which represents the difference between the previously recorded value of assets and their current valuations;

other reserves that are funds that Council wishes to separately identify as being set aside to meet a specific purpose in the future and to which there is no existing liability. These amounts are transferred from the Accumulated Surplus of the Council to be separately disclosed.

Accumulated surplus which is the value of all net assets less Reserves that have accumulated over time.

4.4 Statement of Cash Flows

4.4.1 Net cash flows provided by/ (used in) operating activities Refers to the cash generated or used in the normal service delivery functions of Council. Cash remaining after paying for the provision of services to the community may be available for investment in capital works, or repayment of debt. The 28% decrease in cash generated from operations is due to 50% pre-payment of the Financial Assistance Grant in 17/18 financial year. Council has continued the practice within the 2018/19 Budget to only include Capital Grant funding and associated projects within the Capital Works program that have had grant funding confirmed as at the end of May 2018. Except for six projects, which will require committed Council funding; Chiltern Industrial Employment Precinct works, Chiltern Athenaeum, Sheridans Bridge Road Bridge, Escort Bridge Road Bridge, Beechworth to Osbornes Flat cycle path and Beechworth to Osbornes Flat enhancement project, totalling $2.23 million. A number of Capital Grant applications submitted to various bodies remain unconfirmed at April 2018 and should any of these grant applications be successful, the actual amount of Capital Grants received in 2018/19 may significantly exceed what has been budgeted. Overall, the level of Operating Grants has decreased by 43% compared to 2017/18. Rates and charges are expected to increase by $0.57 million because of the capped rate increase of 2.25%.

The net cash flows from operating activities does not match the operating result for the year as the expected revenues and expenses of the Council include non-cash items which have been excluded from the Cash Flow Statement.

4.4.2 Net cash flows provided by/ (used in) investing activities Refers to cash generated or used in the enhancement or creation of infrastructure and other assets. These activities also include the acquisition and sale of other assets such as vehicles, property and equipment.

Notes to indicators

1. Adjusted underlying result

An indicator of the sustainable operating result required to enable Council to continue to provide core services and meet its objectives. Slight

reduction in financial performance is expected over the SRP period. The slight decline mean reliance on capital grants, Council's cash reserves or

increased debt to maintain services. Over the SRP, period Council’s levels remain within the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office medium risk

category.

2. Working Capital

Is an indicator of the proportion of current liabilities represented by current assets. Working capital is forecast to fluctuate over the SRP year due to

a run down in cash reserves to fund the capital program. Given Current Liabilities includes over $1.4 million for Long Service provision, and it is most

likely that only a small percentage of this amount will actually be paid during 2018/19, management is comfortable with the budgeted working

capital. Over the SRP, period Council’s levels remain within the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office low risk category.

3. Unrestricted Cash

Provide indication of the level of funding available for any purpose. Council’s indicators represent there is very little flexibility for cash to be used

for any purpose.

4. Debt compared to rates

Council’s comparison of borrowings to rates revenue indicates minimal reliance on rates revenue to cover the repayment of debt. The lower the

percentage, the less reliance on rates revenues to cover borrowings.

5. Asset renewal

This percentage indicates the extent of Council's renewals against its depreciation charge (an indication of the decline in value of its existing capital

assets). A percentage greater than 100 indicates Council is maintaining its existing assets, while a percentage less than 100 means its assets are

deteriorating faster than they are being renewed and future capital expenditure will be required to renew assets. Over the SRP, period Council’s

levels remain within the Victorian Auditor-General’s Office medium risk category.

6. Rates concentration

Is an indicator of the proportion of rates revenue, which contributes to Council’s own source revenue (no grant and contributions income). The

higher the percentage the greater reliance Council has on seeking alternative revenue sources such as grants.

seperate applications had been made.

value is adjusted each year by the Treasurer and notice under the Monetary Units Act 2004 is published in the Government Gazette.
