Attachment 5.1.1
February 2018 – November 2018
The dates listed below indicate Audit & Risk Management Committee (Committee) meetings;
the actions list likely work at those meetings. The actions listed have been determined largely from the Committee Terms of Reference.
Workshops, out-of-session decision making and feedback to the Executive Officer from
Committee Members; and special meetings may be required to progress work in a timely manner and meet key deadlines.
This work program is subject to review, additions, deletions and amendment, therefore, the work program should be ‘noted’ by the Committee but not ‘endorsed’ as it will need to remain a live document.

From: Executive Officer
Subject: Fleurieu Aquatic Centre Fees & Charges 2018-19 Meeting date: 22 March 2018 Item: 7.1 Reference(s): FRAC Authority Charter Consultation: Area Manager, YMCA SA Attachments: Nil
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek feedback from the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority (Authority) Audit & Risk Management Committee (Committee) on the proposed Fleurieu Aquatic Centre fees and charges for 2018/19.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Committee recommend that the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority endorse the
proposed Fleurieu Aquatic Centre fees and charges for 2018/19 as set out in this report.
INFORMATION
The Authority Charter sets out the functions, powers and duties of the Authority to be exercised in the performance and furtherance of its objects and purposes. These functions and powers include (clause 2.1.10) ‘to set and charge fees for the use of facilities and services at the Aquatic Centre’.
Fees and charges were originally set by the Authority Board in December 2016 and were not increased for 2017/18; noting that the centre was only open for 3 full months of financial year 2016/17.
YMCA SA as operational managers of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre (FAC) in conjunction with the Authority Executive Officer has reviewed current fees and charges and has developed a proposed schedule of fees
and charges for 2018/19 which also includes fees for new services in allied health.
The proposed fees and charges for 2018-19 are set out in Appendix A.
These fees have been applied in development of the draft operational budget for the Authority for 2018/19. The proposed fees and charges present a range of increases with an overall average increase in fees of 2.4% on current levels. Indicative increases in fees for financial years 2019-20 and 2020-21 are also presented in Appendix A to provide context for consideration of 2018-19 fees. These increases have also been applied in development of the draft Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027.
The Authority Board, at its 16 February 2018 Workshop, discussed various parameters for the 2018-19 operating budget, including draft proposed fees and charges for FAC. Board Member feedback included a request for the Authority Executive Officer to model two alternate scenarios to the proposed 2018-19 fees and charges (a 0% increase on all current fees and charges; and a standard 2% increase to all current fees and charges); present these models to the Audit & Risk Management Committee; and request the Committee make a recommendation to the Board.

Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 2
Other general feedback from the Board in relation to setting of fees and charges included:
• In principle support for a change in policy relating to the quantum of discount applied to Mates
Rates membership (reducing from 20% to 15% over 3 years); and
• The general view that pricing for FAC should sit approximately in the middle of the competitor pricing continuum.
Following determination of a Committee recommendation at this meeting; proposed fees and charges for 2018/19 will formally be put to the Board for as an Out of Session Matter for Decision for consideration.
DISCUSSION
Comparison of 2018/19 fees & charges increase scenarios
To assist the Committee in its consideration of proposed fees and charges for 2018-19, background assumptions applied in development of proposed FAC fees and charges and competitor pricing context (where available) is provided below.
Please note; competitor pricing outlined below reflects current publicly available pricing information for 2017-18. It is not known what increases in pricing will be applied by competitors for 2018-19.

Swimming lessons assist in keeping children healthy and safe by building healthy habits and encouraging safe water practices. Proposed fees are in line with current competitor market pricing.
No increases to fees for private swimming lessons are proposed. The current demand is low, and prices have been set at a sustainable level should the services be accessed.

Vac Swim
The VacSwim program (operated for one week in January each year) provides primary school aged children with opportunities to develop a range of skills and positive experiences in the areas of water safety, confidence and competence in the water, personal survival activities and basic aquatic emergency procedures.
In determining pricing for the FAC VacSwim program, the recommendation made by YMCA is guided by the Office for Recreation & Sport requirements and is in line with current competitor pricing.

FITNESS SERVICES:
Health & fitness:
‘All Access’ casual admission provides the visitor access to the entire centre, including aquatic facilities,
gym facilities and Group Fitness (aquatic & dryland). The same fees apply to visitors seeking to participate in a Group Fitness class only. Concession fees are calculated by applying a 20% discount to the full fee.
While the primary objective is to encourage facility membership, both Visit Passes and Casual Admissions play an important role towards accommodating all community members regardless of their ability and/or willingness to commit to a full facility membership. In addition, those on Visit Passes will build a strong database to market to regarding the benefits of upgrading to a full membership, as well as the additional registered programs offered at the centre.
Multi-visit passes are 10 visit passes priced at 9 admissions with a 6-month expiry. 20 visit passes are priced at 18 admissions with a 12-month expiry. Concession discounts are available for visit passes.
Pricing for the Strength for Life Group Fitness classes are set by the Council on the Ageing (COTA) South Australia.

26% 23 2.2%
Proposed pricing policy change – Mates Rates membership type:
Currently 85% of members receive a discount of 20% or greater on full fees. Given the demographic of the area, the percentage of members accessing the Active Adults membership and discount will likely remain high. It is currently proposed to continue to offer the Active Adults, Active Youth and Concession discounts at existing rates (provided above) to ensure that access to the centre is affordable for all
demographics.
The Mates Rates membership type has also proven popular and has assisted in building membership numbers. It is proposed that FAC retain this membership type but decrease the level of discount applied from 20% to 15% over the next three years. This policy change is aimed at retaining the incentive the
13
Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 8
membership type provides whilst seeking to improve FAC’s financial performance and long-term sustainability.
The discount reflected in the proposed fees below steadily decreases from the current level of 20% to 18.5% for 2018/19, 17% for 2019/20 and 15% for 2020/21. Based on current Mates Rates member numbers, the net increase in revenue from this policy change is estimated at $28,755 over the next three years.

*Start-up fee: This is a once-off fee that reflects the administrative cost of establishing the membership. It is proposed to leave this fee at the current level of $49 for the next three years. The revenue generated by this fee will reduce significantly from 2018/19 as membership numbers flatten out. It is considered that keeping the fee static will ensure that it is not seen as a disincentive to new members.

NEW SERVICES – ALLIED HEALTH:
Exercise Physiology
Background
YMCA is proposing to improve secondary services at FAC to include Exercise Physiology. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are tertiary-trained allied health professionals who provide exercise therapy and lifestyle interventions for the prevention and management of chronic disease, injury and disability.
Medicare offers rebates for up to five Exercise Physiology sessions per year (which is often sufficient to meet a client’s needs) to people with certain conditions upon referral from a General Practitioner. Client funding towards Exercise Physiology (EP) services are also provided by ReturnToWorkSA and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA). A number of private health insurers also offer rebates for Exercise Physiology.
YMCA proposes to work with clients to transition to a regular FAC membership following the EP sessions. The addition of these services will provide another lead generator for membership sales and further improve our point of difference in the marketplace.

Hire of gym facilities to local Physiotherapists
To further develop an Allied Health model for FAC, YMCA recommends running an Expression of Interest (EOI) process for local Physiotherapists (qualified professionals with an established local practice) to hire the FAC gym office for half a day per week. Whilst income would be minimal in terms of rental hire (currently proposed at $25 per hour) this will provide an additional service to members (and increase opportunities to recruit new members) with higher needs.
Proposed services:
Service Description
Chronic Disease Management (CDM)
A chronic medical condition is one that has been (or is likely to be) present for six months or longer, for example, asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke. The CDM assessment and subsequent sessions will involve an assessment of the client’s condition and setting of appropriate exercises. The fee is set by Medicare.
Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)
The aim of DVA funded exercise physiology is to:
• assess the entitled person and design an individualised exercise program that addresses the need of their referred, specific clinical condition;
• provide the entitled person with the skills to manage the exercise component of their treatment on their own, through exercise.
Fees are set by the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
Private treatment Similar services as above, privately funded. Covered by private health providers. YMCA has recommended the fee based on industry knowledge
Type 2 Diabetes People with type 2 diabetes can receive Medicare rebates for group services provided by eligible exercise physiologists on referral from a GP. Assessment involves taking a comprehensive client history, identification of individual goals and preparing the client for an appropriate group services program.
Fees are set by Medicare.
Strength for Life The Strength for life (SFL) program promotes health and well-being amongst people over 50 through strength training programs run by accredited fitness providers.
COTA has introduced 2 categories to SFL:
Tier 1 involves exercise physiologists directly in the program; baseline testing conducted at commencement and after 3 months. Attracts rebates from Health Funds (and sometimes from Medicare).
Tier 2 involves fitness instructors conducting the program and confidently managing participants' long-term needs. Some funds now pay benefits if program is conducted by fitness instructors.
The fee for this service is set by COTA.
ReturnToWorkSA (RTWSA)
Initial assessment: History, assessment and prescription of functional exercises specific to a worker’s injury, work tasks and/or work demands, in accordance with the Clinical Framework for the Delivery of Health Services.
Individual session: Review, instruction, supervision and upgrade of prescribed functional and work-related exercise activities. Maximum of 10 sessions (inclusive of initial assessment and any group sessions).
Treating exercise physiology report: A written clinical opinion, statement or response to questions relating to the progress and status of a worker’s functional and work-related exercise activities, requested in writing by the case manager, self-insured employer, worker or worker’s representative. The fee for this service is set by RTWSA.

Recommendation
That the Committee recommend that the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority endorse the
proposed Fleurieu Aquatic Centre fees and charges for 201819 as set out in Appendix A to this report.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risks associated with the recommendation have been assessed as follows:
Governance - the recommendation meets the requirements of the Authority Charter and legislation. Low risk.
Financial – Financial management of the Authority is highly regulated by the requirements of the Charter and legislation. Low risk.
BUDGET IMPLICATION
The proposed fees and charges for 2018/19 (an average increase of 2.4%) have been applied in
development of the draft operational budget for the Authority for 2018/19. Indicative increases in fees
for financial years 2019/20 and 2020/21 have also been applied in development of the draft Long Term Financial Plan 2017-2027.
Applying 0% increase in fees and charges for 2018/19 will result in a further increase to the overall Authority deficit operating budget (excluding Council contributions) for 2018-19 of $71,876.
Applying a flat 2% increase in all fees and charges for 2018/19 will result in a further increase to the overall Authority deficit operating budget (excluding Council contributions) for 2018-19 of $40,077.

DISCUSSION
The Authority has prepared the Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-2021 (incorporating the 2018-2019 FAC Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-2019 in accordance with its Charter, the requirements of
the Local Government Act 1999 and Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011.
3-Year Business Plan 2018-2021
Draft Authority core strategic planning documents; Strategic Plan 2018-2027, Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 and Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027; have now been developed. These strategic documents inform and are supported by the Authority 3-Year Business Plan, annual FAC Business & Marketing Plans and annual budgets.
The detailed 3-Year Business Plan has been developed to guide and monitor the operations of the Authority and deliver on strategic priorities for 2018 to 2021. The document sets out key focus areas, performance targets and measurement; actions to achieve outcomes and associated timeframes and responsibilities. The 3-Year Business Plan (provided as an Attachment to this report) has been formulated in consultation with YMCA SA as FAC operational managers; and is supported by the FAC
Business & Marketing Plan 2018-2019 (included as an Appendix).

The first full year of FAC operations will conclude on 24 March 2018. Membership and Swim School
student numbers are forecast to continue to grow; as is recreational swimming attendance and associated café income. YMCA has utilised data gathered to date in development of the detailed FAC 2018-2019 budget and forecast budgets for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 (to inform LTFP development).
In preparing the FAC 2018-2019 Budget, YMCA and the Authority Executive Officer have reviewed current fees and charges. The fees proposed for 2018-2019 reflect an overall increase of 2.4% on 2017-2018 prices and include new fees and charges for a range of fitness based allied health services. A full year of new children’s programs (Flippa Ball & Synchro) and of Water Polo are reflected; as is increased casual group fitness income based on increased offering (please refer below).
New services – allied health
As indicated above, it is proposed to improve secondary services at FAC by including Exercise Physiology (EP). Accredited Exercise Physiologists are tertiary-trained allied health professionals who provide exercise therapy and lifestyle interventions for the prevention and management of chronic disease, injury and disability. Medicare offers rebates for up to five EP sessions per year (which is often sufficient to meet a client’s needs) to people with certain conditions upon referral from a General Practitioner. Client funding
26
Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 4
towards EP services are also provided by ReturnToWorkSA and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. A number of private health insurers also offer rebates for EP.
YMCA proposes to work with clients to transition to a regular FAC membership following the EP sessions. The addition of these services will provide another lead generator for membership sales and further improve our point of difference in the marketplace. FAC will obtain HICAPS claims and payment facilities to assist clients in accessing rebates. YMCA will employ an Exercise Physiologist (as part of the FAC team) on a casual basis.

$84,534 12.4% Includes increased consumables $2,997 (in line with sales growth), electricity $51,624 (10% increase forecast – increased patronage and allowance for increase in network charges), water $(27,046) (2017-18 expense included unbudgeted costs for 2016/17), maintenance & gardening $48,821 (costs for maintenance of FAC assets became sole responsibility of Authority from March 2018 (following completion of original construction contract arrangements)); and cleaning $7,166 (increased costs in line with increased patronage).
Staffing Expense
$22,212 14.0% Includes increased superannuation expense $16,351 and minor increases in other on cost areas (in line with increased salaries & wages).
Utilities and salaries and wages continue to be the core areas of focus for monitoring of expenditure and consideration of initiatives to drive efficiency and minimise costs; without compromising service delivery.
Expanded services – group fitness
Group fitness class attendees are predominantly FAC members with the number of casual attendees being low. Demand for group fitness classes at FAC has been steadily growing and YMCA has gradually expanded the existing program. ‘Dryland’ group fitness classes are either held in the gym, in the creche area (outside creche hours) or outdoors (where appropriate). Continuing to expand and improve the group
fitness program is a key mechanism for retention and growth in membership. Program expansion to date has been via increasing the number of classes delivered; where demand is high.
Current FAC member demographics indicate that over 50% of our membership is over 50 years old. This suggests a need to improve program diversification to aid both retention and growth. To assist in addressing this gap, the group fitness program is proposed to be further expanded by introducing a small number of Les Mills classes (budget based on six classes per week); to be delivered in the creche area.
Les Mills is a global group fitness brand which licences its highly successful group fitness program to fitness centres all over the world. Additional ongoing operational costs to deliver this program include annual licence fees and salaries and wages to deliver classes. The capital expenditure required to deliver this program is outlined below. The impact on operating income is anticipated to be in retention and growth of membership. It is estimated that membership growth of 20-25 members p.a. will cover the increased annual operational expense.

Notes:
1. Equipment to facilitate Les Mills group fitness classes
Type of cost Capital Expense
Equipment; including bars, weights and steps $7,925
2. Sound system for gym/ group fitness area
It is recommended that a sound system be installed in the gym / group fitness area to increase the level of professional service offered. The current sound system is a small portable system that is not in keeping with the professionalism of the rest of the building and is often commented on by members. Given the increase in member numbers and additional group fitness offering, installation of a commercial grade system is recommended.
Type of cost Capital Expense
Purchase and installation of sound system (as per quotation sourced) $4,070
3. Additional swipe card security point – entry to gym
It is recommended that an additional swipe card security point be installed to access the gym in order to create improved control. This will also allow improved gathering of data on usage patterns of aquatics versus gym areas; enabling improved planning for future activities to existing and new members. The secondary benefits will be improved safety; with only inducted members having access to the gym area as the door will be able to be closed.
Type of cost Capital Expense
Purchase and installation of swipe card security system – as per quote $4,750
4. Blinds – Program Pool, 25m Pool, meeting room
The glare into the pool area at certain times of the day is causing discomfort to users of the facilities as well as to lifeguards and swimming instructors. Additional lifeguards have been rostered on at times to counteract the impact of the glare. It is recommended that blinds along the windows in the main pool hall (25m pool and program pool) and also on the windows to the meeting / function room are installed in order to reduce glare transferred through the glass from the function room to the program pool and indoor splash area. This will also reduce direct sunlight and transferred heat to the function room; particularly during summer months; creating a more inviting area for function room hirers and casual café customers.
Several quotes and options have been sourced for installation of blinds; with the resultant recommendation that manual roller blinds that are durable, economical and safe for staff to manage be installed.
Capital expenditure required for purchase and installation of blinds:
Area Capital Expense (excl. GST)
Program Pool window West $3,180
Program Pool window North $4,360
25m Pool West $7,420
25m Pool South West $1,950

Guide wires $1,900
Scaffold cost $820
Total $23,330

5. Digital clock improvement - poolside
There are currently two relatively small analogue clocks installed in the main pool hall. It is recommended that a digital clock be installed to assist customers, particularly older adults to clearly read the time whilst swimming laps.
Type of cost Capital Expense
Digital clock $1,765
Financial implications
The Authority has prepared the Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-2021 (incorporating the 2018-2019 FAC Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-2019 in line with the draft LTFP 2018-2027 and the approved
2017-2018 Second Quarter Budget Review. The LTFP incorporates budget estimates for 2018-2019 and future years.
The 2018-19 Authority Budget proposes an operating deficit before Council contributions of $1.335 million.
Financial performance indicators
The Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011 Part 2, 5(1) requires that the Authority LTFP includes estimates and target ranges adopted by the Authority for each year of the LTFP with respect to an operating surplus ratio, a net financial liabilities ratio and an asset sustainability ratio. Due to the nature of the Authority funding model, the net financial liabilities ratio is not relevant. This is due to cash reserves (predominantly Depreciation Reserve) being significantly higher than projected liabilities for the
life of the plan; and the resultant ratio not being a useful measurement of financial performance for the Authority.
Given the above, an alternate third financial sustainability ratio is proposed for use; that being the ‘Own Source Income Ratio’. This ratio is calculated as ‘income excluding Council contributions’ as a percentage of total Authority expenditure. The forecast ratio for 2018-2019 is 59%; the gradual increase in this ratio over the life of the LTFP will indicate improvement in the Authority’s financial self-sustainability.
The key financial measures for the Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-2021 (incorporating the 2018-19 Fleurieu Aquatic Centre Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-19 are:
Indicator 2018-2019 2019-2020 2020-2021 Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio - % 0% 0% 0% Own Source Income Ratio 59% 62% 64% Asset Sustainability Ratio - % n/a n/a n/a
Due to the financial operating model for the Authority, the Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio is budgeted annually at zero; however, may be less or greater than zero at year end should the operating result differ from the budget.
The Own Source Income Ratio is forecast to improve from 59% to 64% during the next three years.
The Asset Sustainability Ratio is not applicable for years in which no expenditure on renewal and replacement of assets is forecast; however, is forecast at 100% over the remaining years of the plan.
The Authority’s Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-21 (incorporating the 2018-19 Fleurieu Aquatic Centre Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-19 are consistent with the Authority Draft Long Term
Financial Plan (LTFP).
31
Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 9
In line with the Management Agreement between the Authority and YMCA South Australia, annual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are agreed for operational management of FAC. These KPIs are aligned to the annual FAC Business & Marketing Plan and Budget and include:
• Performance growth metrics: attendance growth, member growth, member retention, swimming lesson growth
• Financial sustainability metrics: swimming lesson occupancy, swimming lesson wage cost ratio, net operating result, secondary spend profit margin, wage cost ratio
• Safety metrics: incidents per 1000 visits, facility hazard management, Royal Life Saving Society - Facility Safety Assessment
RISK ASSESSMENT
The Authority’s key financial indicators for 2018-19 are in line with the draft Long Term Financial Plan.
The Authority will monitor the implementation of the Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-21 (incorporating
the 2018-19 Fleurieu Aquatic Centre Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-19 via regular budget
updates and reviews in accordance with the Local Government Act 1999 and Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority (the Authority) is a regional subsidiary established under Section 43 of the Local Government Act 1999 by Constituent Councils; Alexandrina Council; and the City of Victor Harbor. The Authority was established in August 2015 to enable joint ownership and management of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre. More information about FAC is available on the website http://www.fleurieuaquaticcentre.com.au/.
The Authority is governed by a board of management that is responsible for ensuring the Authority acts in accordance with its Charter and all other relevant legislation. In late 2017, an Audit & Risk Management Committee was constituted to provide advice to the Board and oversight of financial, governance and risk management for the Authority. The Board and Audit & Risk Management Committee are supported by a part-time Executive Officer.
In November 2016, YMCA SA was appointed under a three-year Management Agreement to operate and manage the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre (FAC); which opened on 25 March 2017. FAC is performing well and has established strong membership numbers and swimming lesson student cohort. Casual attendance trends and hire of facilities by user groups are steadily being mapped as FAC heads towards the first anniversary of opening. Adjustments to programming and services will continue to be made as required to meet the community needs.
A suite of Authority strategic planning documents; including the Strategic Plan 2018-2027, Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 and Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027; have now been developed. These strategic documents inform and are supported by the Authority 3-Year Business Plan, annual FAC Business & Marketing Plan and annual budgets.
This detailed 3-Year Business Plan has been developed to guide and monitor the operations of the Authority and deliver on strategic priorities for 2018 to 2021. The document meets the requirements of the Local Government Act 1999 and our Charter. The 3-Year Business Plan has been formulated in consultation with YMCA SA as FAC operational managers; and is supported by the FAC Business & Marketing Plan 2018/19 prepared by YMCA SA and provided as an Appendix.

STRATEGIC PILLARS
Mission
We are an independent governing body that directs the delivery of a regional indoor Aquatic Centre.
Purpose
To deliver the Councils’ objectives for an efficient, premier aquatic facility in the region.
Vision
Fleurieu Aquatic Centre is an inclusive destination that contributes to a healthy regional community.
Goals
1. To maintain community participation and enthusiasm for FAC
2. To foster and maximise social inclusion
3. To preserve and maximise the brands (FAC & FRACA) as high value, recognised, trusted and valued in the community
4. To act as a conduit for commercial and community partnerships and collaboration
5. To care for, protect and improve FAC in line with changing community needs
6. To, as far as possible, be financially self-sufficient
Performance targets
Financial indicators
The Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011 Part 2, 5(1) requires that the Authority LTFP includes estimates and target ranges adopted by the Authority for each year of the LTFP with respect to an operating surplus ratio, a net financial liabilities ratio and an asset sustainability ratio.
Due to the nature of the Authority funding model, the net financial liabilities ratio is not relevant. This is due to cash reserves (predominantly Depreciation Reserve) being significantly higher than projected liabilities for the life of the plan; and the resultant ratio not being a useful measurement of financial performance for the Authority.
Given the above, an alternate third financial sustainability ratio is proposed for use; that being the ‘Own Source Income Ratio’. This ratio is calculated as ‘income excluding Council contributions’ as a percentage of total Authority expenditure. The forecast ratio for 2018-2019 is 59%; the gradual increase in this ratio over the life of the LTFP will indicate improvement in the Authority’s financial self-sustainability.
The key financial measures for the Draft 3-Year Business Plan 2018-2021 (incorporating the 2018-19 Fleurieu Aquatic Centre Business & Marketing Plan) and Budget 2018-19 are:
Indicator 2018-2019 2019-2020 2020-2021 Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio - % 0% 0% 0% Own Source Income Ratio 59% 62% 64% Asset Sustainability Ratio - % n/a n/a n/a
Due to the financial operating model for the Authority, the Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio is budgeted annually at zero; however, may be less or greater than zero at year end should the operating result differ from the budget.
42
Page 5 of 13
The Own Source Income Ratio is forecast to improve from 59% to 64% during the next three years.
The Asset Sustainability Ratio is not applicable for years in which no expenditure on renewal and replacement of assets is forecast; however, is forecast at 100% over the remaining years of the plan.
FAC Operational Management Key Performance Indicators
In line with the Management Agreement between the Authority and YMCA South Australia, annual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are agreed for operational management of FAC. These KPIs are aligned to the annual FAC Business & Marketing Plan and Budget and include:
• Performance growth metrics: attendance growth, member growth, member retention, swimming lesson growth
• Financial sustainability metrics: swimming lesson occupancy, swimming lesson wage cost ratio, net operating result, secondary spend profit margin, wage cost ratio
• Safety metrics: incidents per 1000 visits, facility hazard management, Royal Life Saving Society - Facility Safety Assessment
Requirements for Business Plan development
Charter
The Authority Charter sets out the following planning requirements:
6.2 Business Plan

6.2.4 must ensure the contents of the Business Plan is in accordance with the Act. [Local Government Act]

2018–19 Business & Marketing Plan
Introduction The objective of the 2018-19 Business & Marketing Plan is to set the strategies for the coming year on a
local site level. Above and beyond day-to-day operations, this plan identifies site specific strategies to
maximise operational success in the coming year. These strategies provide a roadmap for the coming year,
informing budgets and staff work plans, ensuring staff alignment in working towards agreed objectives.
Background & Process
The YMCA has a long and successful history operating community focused recreation centres, delivering a
wide range of wellness and sporting opportunities. Part of this success is built upon the combined skill,
experience and efficiency of working as a larger state-wide team. By leveraging these economies of scale
and learnt best practice we operate health and fitness centres economically and to their fullest potential.
Based on this approach, YMCA South Australia completes part of the business planning process centrally,
establishing consistent Goals and Objectives across all recreation sites. These Goals and Objectives
establish a baseline of recreation centre management and operation and provide a starting framework for
each site to develop site specific strategies aligned to these Goals and Objectives.
The 2018-19 Business & Marketing Plan is purposefully succinct. Its creation acts as a catalyst to involve
the leadership and staff teams in setting the strategies for the coming year, producing a resource to keep
all staff headed in the right direction. Furthermore, the plan informs contract partners on a strategic level
of the planned approach for the year ahead.
The high-level strategies outlined in this plan are to be further defined in a separate site work plan.
Applying the SMART mnemonic (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time based), each strategy is
to be developed with clear staff accountabilities.
The best way to start the planning process for the coming year is to review the results from the previous
year. Celebrate the wins and success, but also review the challenges and opportunities moving forward.
The Business Snapshot section highlights results from 25 March 2017 through to November 30 2017. These
results, combined with a brief overview of our point of difference, target markets, and local competitor
analysis will inform the business and marketing strategies in the second half of this plan.

Understanding our Market & Members Understanding the population and demographics of our catchment area and existing membership helps
inform local need and demand, directly informing annual business strategies.
Catchment Area Location and proximity to a gym is the number one reason people join and stay with a gym. With this in
mind, gym catchment areas are generally defined as a 3km-5km radius (less than a 10-minute drive). Local
competition and metro versus regional location, impact the catchment radius; this has been extended to
15km for Fleurieu Aquatic Centre.
Swimming lesson and programming participants are often willing to travel greater distances than gym
members. This is largely due to decreased competition and a number of sites offering a comparable program.
Catchment Area Population Summary
Catchment (15km radius) South Australia %

Membership Mapping Analysis • As a regional location, both gym and swimming lesson members are spread much further than a
typical 3-5km radius of the centre. With significant membership numbers 10km+ from the centre,
the Fleu ieu A uati Ce t e eaks t pi al g at h e t a ea a d d i e ti e sta da ds. • There is no significant difference in catchment spread between gym and swim lesson members.
• Relatively even distribution between Victor Harbor and Alexandrina
Target Markets & Point of Difference While analysing catchment area and membership demographics, it is important to do so in context to our
point of difference and target markets. Combining these considerations helps inform annual strategies
complementary to business objectives.
Varying slightly between sites due to their amenities and location, our overriding point of difference is based
on the perceived value of having access to a variety of recreation amenities and services (pool, gym, aqua
fitness and allied health, disability and rehabilitation programming). Due to this perceived value, the YMCA
target markets are willing to pay a slight premium in comparison to a budget gym-only competitor.
Families / Youth Ou full-se i e app oa h o i ed ith ulti-amenity facilities, lead to an obvious target market of
families and youth. A dedicated Youth Membership and swimming lessons reinforce our link to children
and youth. Furthermore, complimentary child-minding and strong focus on group fitness tailor to a stay-at-
home parent.
Older Adults – 60Y+ A demographic with exponential growth and greatest discretionary income spend. The growth of this
target market is in part due to an increased awareness and acceptance of the benefits of physical activity in
overall wellness and preventive health. Older adults generally appreciate the full se i e app oa h: a

Atypical Fitness User With a community focus mandate accepting of all ages and abilities, FAC facilities provide an outlet for
those who do not fit the stereotypical gym profile portrayed by many franchise gym competitors. YMCA

community. At pi al g use s a e also ofte u o fo ta le i ha ds-off g s, a e pote tiall de o ditio ed a d fa i g a ie s to physical activity participation.
People Living with a Disability In Australia, over 4 million people live with some form of disability. That s 1 i 5 people. As part of our
current Community Strengthening programs, we work closely with disability service providers to provide
support and care in the community. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) represents a
transformational change in Australia for individuals living with a disability and their carers. This presents
the opportunity for expanding our impact on the community and a pathway for achieving our mission of
healthy and happy communities through the YMCA LEAP programs including one on one and group
swimming lessons and the development of the FAC Allied health model.
Partnerships With a variety of recreation amenities, charity status, and an environment welcoming to all, the YMCA is
extremely well positioned to leverage partnerships. Examples of potential partnerships include allied health
organisations, organisations catering to those with disabilities, government funded community health

Competitor Matrix A competitor Analysis is completed annually to capture changes and review the offering and value proposition of the local competition. This exercise plays an important
role in reviewing where we sit in the local market in relation to our value proposition and informing annual price adjustments. The competitor matrix also helps identify the
volume of competition and which are our closest competitors.

SWOT Analysis STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
• New, modern and exciting facility with exceptional
aquatic facilities combined with quality health club
equipment (holistic approach to wellness and
physical activity)
• Specialised aquatics areas create niche demand for
youth, families, swimming lessons, hydrotherapy,
disability etc.
• Facility design and offerings are attractive to older
adults, families and youth
• An inclusive and welcoming gym environment for all
community members (older adult segment does not
alig ith a o petito s g i age
• Gym instructors available for support (hands-on
approach), inclusive Member Induction Program
• Ability to partner and collaborate with Council and
Community groups to achieve improved outcomes
for the community
• Café and merchandise shop
• Membership includes Playclub (child minding)
• Staff (expertise and local employment)
• YMCA Not for profit charity status; community focus
• Variety of payment options and terms (Direct Debit,
Upfront Payment in Advance, Visit passes, Casual
Admission)
• Equitable and fair membership structure linked to
local price sensitivities: concession, family/mates
rates, and older adults price discounts
• Accessible facility and equipment provisions in both
Gym and Aquatic spaces
• Commencing 18/19 with 1000+ members and 450+
swim school enrolments
• Development of additional aquatic programs
including water polo, Synchro and Flippa ball
• Full-Se i e e eatio odel e uates to high

• Not 24/7 facility
• Limited space/ability to offer group fitness and/or
cycle classes
• Facility size to grow health and fitness member
base
• Poor public transport links
• High proportion of concession member base
lowering member yield
• Access control to the facility, turnstiles do not
provide appropriate traffic management to support
capture of visit split to swim and gym
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS • Facility amenities and Active Adults 60+ program very
well suited to older demographics and may create
many partnerships with aligned organisations
• Development of allied health model including
recruitment of Exercise Physiologists
• Separation of access through health club door swipe
• 24/7 health club access
• Addition of Les Mills classes to attract younger
demographics
• Competition from niche gyms and other budget
health clubs offering lower membership fees
• Lower socio-economic catchment may opt for
lower fees (budget gyms) versus full-service
approach
• High transient population (visitors and non-residing
rate payers) create peaks and troughs and will have
limited conversion to membership and swim lesson
enrolments.
Catchment area population has limited ability to
create a financially sustainable operating model

2018–19 Marketing Plan
INITIATIVE Spring & Summer Major Campaigns
Major membership and Swimming Lesson campaigns are held at two peak industry
sales periods, September and January. Limited time sign up offers are marketed
through a range of online and offline mediums. While primarily executed through
YMCA head office, the advertising spend is customised to maximise local impact and
opportunity. Marketing directs engagement towards the local website for more
information on the offer and encourages immediate online sign-up. The campaign is
geared to take advantage of a peak sales period (start of Spring and start of Summer)
and push those already in the sales funnel to the purchase phase.
MEDIUMS Internal and external posters/banners, website, digital advertising (social media,
display ads, AdWords, Electronic Direct Mail) and print (local newspaper /
publications / mailbox drops).
BUDGET $5,000 per campaign ($1,000 printing, $4,000 advertising pending which mediums
are utilised based on previous results and local conditions)
GOAL Member growth for each campaign, September/October 34 net gain and January 32
net gain
TIMING September (4 - 5 weeks) & January (4 – 5 weeks)

INITIATIVE Membership Promotion & Sales Funnel
In between bi-annual major campaigns, memberships and swimming lessons are
promoted through a variety of mediums utilising a consistent message and design
linked to the FAC point of difference (full service and multi-amenity). Marketing
effectiveness is further increased through collateral which is specifically designed to a
specific target market, highlighting perceived benefits specific to that target /
membership type.
Collateral is placed within the facility and at key catchment area locations. Centre
Manager and leadership team will also proactively identify and pursue local
opportunities to advertise. For example, older adult organisations are well suited to
the promotion of the Active Adults membership, and child care centres are well
suited to the promotion of swimming lessons.
The membership collateral and advertising sits at the top of the sales funnel
(awareness), driving interest to the website (landing page
www.fleurieuaquaticcentre.com.au ) with the call to action once this is activated
online, the prospect enters the CRM software which enables tracking towards
conversion and/or continued future efforts to convert.
MEDIUMS Internal & external posters/banners, Website (landing page), Digital advertising
(social media, display ads, AdWords, EDM) and Print (local newspaper / publications).
BUDGET $2,500 (spread over 12 months, includes printing, advertising and landing page
hosting and optimisation)
GOAL Achieve annual growth target in memberships of 12% as per the 18/19 budget
TIMING Ongoing, between major campaigns

INITIATIVE Electronic Direct Mail (EDM) & Online Accounts
Customer service plays a large role in the satisfaction and overall retention of
members. As a large component of customer service, the YMCA has invested in
technology to enable convenient and cost-effective communication and online
account convenience.
Our integrated EDM system talks directly with our facility and member software,
enabling both automated and ad-hoc communications. Examples of these
communications include:
• Ad-hoc notices regarding facility/service updates/changes/closures
• Automated emails marketing to prospects in the sales funnel and/or to a 7-
day pass holder to encourage and/or incentivise membership
• Automated emails to existing members informing of new program
opportunities, group fitness offerings and local events/initiatives
• Leverage existi g e e ship data ases to e ou age efe als a d sp ead the o d o p o otio s
Online accounts allow DIY 4/7 a ess to a ou t a age e t and sales. Example
functionality includes online membership purchases and swim lesson enrolments,
booking group fitness, checking payment history, updating payment details, and
reviewing skill progression for swimming lessons. Online accounts provide customers
with the convenience of on-demand access to information.

From: Executive Officer
Subject: FRACA Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 Meeting date: 22 March 2018 Item: 7.3 Reference(s): Local Government Act 1999
FRAC Authority Charter Consultation: Area Manager, YMCA SA Attachments: Draft Asset Management Plan 2018-2027
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek feedback from the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority
(FRACA) Audit & Risk Management Committee (ARMC) on the draft FRACA Asset Management Plan 2018-2027.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Committee:
1. Note the draft FRACA Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 and that the Executive Officer will update the plan in line with Committee feedback and final Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027 data;
2. Recommend that the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority endorse the revised draft FRACA Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 for the purposes of public consultation.
INFORMATION
The Authority Charter provides:
6 MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
6.1 Strategic Plan
Consistent with the Long Term Financial Plan set out above, the Authority must:
6.1.2 prepare an Asset Management Plan, with detailed financials for the first ten years;
The Authority Asset Accounting Policy provides:
8. Asset Management
When developing its Asset Management Plan, the following 4 (four) steps will be taken into consideration by
the Authority:
1) Know what assets the Authority owns and the service standards target for those assets. Then estimate the cost to maintain the assets to meet the level of standard of service.
2) Consider any increased demand and costs for services from development growth or the impact of a
declining population or other changes in population.
3) Prepare a lifecycle management plan for all assets. This will diminish the risk of unexpected expenditure when assets start failing.
4) Undertake risk and financial projections to determine which assets are most important to the community, its needs and safety.
74
Audit & Risk Management Committee Report

DISCUSSION
The draft Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 is provided as an attachment to this report.
The draft plan was developed with the assistance of the City of Victor Harbor and was based on
original draft Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) data. In some areas (noted in the plan), this data requires updating prior to presentation to the Authority Board.
Capital expenditure on renewal and replacement of assets is currently presented in the plan including
indexation applied by Rider Levett Bucknall in preparation of the Authority Asset Register. This will also be corrected in the revised plan to be provided to the Board such that all expenditure is stated in
2018 dollars i.e. no allowance made for inflation over the 10-year planning period. Please note, the LTFP does incorporate inflation factors.
Capital expenditure on new assets is proposed for 2018-19 only; with a zero-allocation applied
annually for the remaining period of the plan. Any future proposals for capital expenditure on new
assets will be considered on a case by case basis and the Asset Management Plan (AMP) and LTFP updated accordingly.
Levels of service have been based on the existing Fleurieu Aquatic Centre (FAC) offering; reflecting
the significant research undertaken in the development of the centre (Business Case and Prudential Report).
The AMP includes an improvement plan with the following key initiatives to be undertaken during the
life of the plan:
• Explore options to reduce energy, water and chemical consumption and costs
• Develop service agreements for proactive maintenance of plant and equipment
• Undertake customer satisfaction survey
• Reflect actual useful lives in next valuation of the associated infrastructure assets (desk top
review)
• Review Levels of Service

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 The Purpose of the Plan
Asset management planning is a comprehensive
process to ensure delivery of services from
infrastructure is provided in a financially sustainable
manner.
This asset management plan details information about
infrastructure assets including actions required to
provide an agreed level of service in the most cost-
effective manner whilst outlining associated risks. The
plan defines the services to be provided, how the
services are provided and what funds are required to
provide the services over a 10-year planning period.
This plan covers the infrastructure assets of the
Fleurieu Aquatic Centre (FAC) that provides Fleurieu
Peninsula communities with a modern aquatic and
recreation facility; enhancing the lifestyle and
wellbeing of the area. FAC provides an 8 lane 25m
swimming pool, multi-use program pool and
hydrotherapy pool, outdoor splash park, fitness facility
and child minding.
1.2 Asset Description
These assets include:
Asset category Written down value as at 30
June 2017
Buildings & other
structures
$12,302,737
Furniture & fittings $3,775,515
Plant & equipment $1,129,873
Infrastructure $3,666,703
Total $20,874,828
1.3 Levels of Service
The Authority Charter provides:
5. Financials
5.2 Financial Contributions
5.2.1 The Constituent Councils will contribute
funds to the Authority as set out in the Budget
adopted by the Authority and approved by the
Constituent Councils.
5.2.2 The Constituent Councils may agree to
provide the Authority with additional funds at any
time on such terms and conditions, if any, as
determined by the Constituent Councils.
Based on the continued provision of financial
contributions from Constituent Councils, funding
levels will be sufficient to provide existing services at
current levels in the medium term.
1.4 Future Demand
The main demands for new services are created by:
• Customers
• Constituent Council requirements
These will be managed through a combination of
managing existing assets, upgrading of existing assets
and providing new assets to meet demand and
demand management. Demand management
practices include non-asset solutions, insuring against
risks and managing failures.
1.5 Lifecycle Management Plan
What does it Cost?
The projected outlays necessary to provide the
services covered by this Asset Management Plan
(AMP); including operations, maintenance, renewal
and upgrade of existing assets over the 10-year
planning period; is $6,993,000 or $699,000 on average
per year.
[Author note: Data to be updated in line with final LTFP
projections.
1.6 Financial Summary
What we will do
Estimated available funding for this period is
$6,981,000 or $698,000 on average per year as per
the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) or budget
forecast. This is 100% of the cost to sustain the current
level of service at the lowest lifecycle cost.
[Author note: Data to be updated in line with final LTFP
projections. Figures derived from same data and Councils
collectively meet any funding shortfall; therefore, figures
should be the same – confirm and update once LTFP figures
finalised]
79
- 5 -
The infrastructure reality is that only what is funded in
the LTFP can be provided. The emphasis of the AMP is
to communicate the consequences that this will have
on the service provided and risks, so that decision
making is informed.
The allocated funding leaves a shortfall of $-1,000 on
average per year of the projected expenditure
required to provide services in the AMP compared
with planned expenditure currently included in the
LTFP. This is shown in the figure below.
[Author note: Data to be updated in line with final LTFP
projections. In line with comment above figure should be
zero]
Projected Operating and Capital Expenditure
[Author note: Graph to be updated with final LTFP data]
Figure Values are in current (real) dollars.
We plan to provide aquatic services for the following:
• Operation, maintenance, renewal and upgrade to
our assets to meet service levels set in annual
budgets.
• Carry out annual inspections to ensure that they
align with the condition assessments, renewal and
new/upgrade plans within the 10-year planning
period.
Quality
Buildi g assets ill e ai tai ed i a fit fo pu pose condition. Defects found or reported that are outside
of the service standard will be repaired.
Function
Building asset attributes will be maintained at a safe
level and associated signage and equipment will be
provided as needed to ensure public safety. The
following key functional objectives will be met:
• Building assets will be managed in an efficient
and cost-effective manner
• Facilities will be suitable for their intended
use and meet user requirements
• Annual budgets will be provided for asset
renewal in line with forecast rate of
consumption
Safety
The building is inspected regularly for remedial
maintenance and structural integrity.
The key objective is to be proactive in managing risks
and public liability.
What we cannot do
Works and services that cannot be provided under
present funding levels are:
• Create new services and provide new assets
without impacting on budgets
Managing the Risks
Our present funding levels are sufficient to continue to
manage risks in the medium term.
1.7 Asset Management Practices
Our systems to manage assets include:
• Information prepared by consultants Rider
Levett Bucknall 2017
• Asset register ongoing maintenance (in
Microsoft Excel)
Assets requiring renewal/replacement are identified
from one of three methods provided in the
E pe ditu e Te plate .
Method 1 uses Asset Register data to project the
renewal costs using acquisition year and useful life to
determine the renewal year; or
Method 2 uses capital renewal expenditure
projections from external condition modelling
systems; or
Method 3 uses a combination of average network
renewals plus defect repairs in the Renewal Plan and
Defect Repair Plan worksheets on the E pe ditu e te plate .
80
- 6 -
Method 3 was used for this AMP.
1.8 Monitoring and Improvement
Program
The next steps resulting from this asset management
plan to improve asset management practices are:
• Develop long term financial targets cognisant
of the funding requirements of this plan
• Undertake improvements highlighted in table
8.1 of this plan
• Undertake further work as required to
quantify the desired levels of service
• Continue to explore options to reduce energy
consumption and costs.

Infrastructure $3,694,601 $3,666,703
TOTAL $21,068,561 $20,874,828
2.2 Goals and Objectives of Asset Ownership
Our goal in managing infrastructure assets is to meet the defined level of service (as amended from time to time) in
the most cost effective manner for present and future consumers. The key elements of infrastructure asset
management are:
• Providing a defined level of service and monitoring performance;
• Managing the impact of growth through demand management and infrastructure investment;
• Taking a lifecycle approach to developing cost-effective management strategies for the long-term that meet
the defined level of service;
• Identifying, assessing and appropriately controlling risks; and
• Linking to a LTFP which identifies required, affordable expenditure and how it will be allocated.

2.3 Core and Advanced Asset Management
This AMP is prepared as a core AMP over a 10 year planning period in accordance with the International
Infrastructure Management Manual1. Core asset management is a top down approach where analysis is applied at
the system or network level. An advanced asset management approach uses a bottom up approach for gathering
detailed asset information for individual assets.
3. LEVELS OF SERVICE
3.1 Customer Research and Expectation
The construction of FAC was funded by the Constituent Councils with funding support from the Federal Government
a d the State Go e e t s Co u it , Re eatio a d Spo t Fa ilities P og a . The ai of the State Government
funding program is to support the strategic objective of increasing the proportion of South Australians participating in
sport or physical recreation at least once per week to 50% by 2020. The federal government funding was provided for
'the provision of an indoor aquatic centre to provide health, sport and recreation facilities for the growing communities
around Victor Harbor and Goolwa'.
The provision of an aquatic centre at or near the City of Victor Harbor had been supported in a number of studies
undertaken between 2001 and 2011. In summary, all reports resulting from these studies had identified the
establishment of an aquatic centre as a service which should be available to southern Fleurieu Peninsula communities.
A business case was undertaken by the Constituent Councils in 2013 in respect of establishing a regional aquatic
centre which incorporated a health and fitness studio. The business case examined population trends and anticipated
demand for a regional aquatics facility, the aquatic and health and fitness markets relevant to a regional aquatic
centre and the financial viability of a regional aquatic centre. The Business Case concluded that a regional aquatic
facility would operate at a loss in each of the first five years of operation and would require a subsidy from the
Constituent Councils. To meet their obligations under section 48 of the LG Act, the Constituent Councils commissioned
a prudential review in respect of the establishment of an aquatic centre.
Future revisions of the AMP will incorporate community consultation on service levels and costs of providing the
service. This will assist the Authority and stakeholders in matching the level of service required, service risks and
consequences with the community s ability and willingness to pay for the service.

3.4 Customer Levels of Service
Service levels are defined in two terms; customer levels of service and technical levels of service. These are
supplemented by organisational measures.
Customer Levels of Service measure how the customer receives the service and whether value to the customer is
provided.
Customer levels of service measures used in the AMP are:
Quality How good is the service … what is the condition or quality of the service?
Function Is it suitable fo its i te ded pu pose …. Is it the right service?
Capacity/Use Is the service over or under used … do we need more or less of these assets?
85
- 11 -
The current and expected customer service levels are detailed in Tables 3.4 and 3.5. Table 3.4 shows the expected
levels of service based on resource levels in the current LTFP.
Organisational measures are measures of fact related to the service delivery outcome e.g. number of occasions when
service is not available, condition % s of Very Poor, Poor/Average/Good, Very good.
These Organisational measures provide a balance in comparison to the customer perception that may be more
subjective.

3.5 Technical Levels of Service
Technical Levels of Service - Supporting the customer service levels are operational or technical measures of
performance. These technical measures relate to the allocation of resources to service activities to best achieve the
desired customer outcomes and demonstrate effective performance.
Technical service measures are linked to the activities and annual budgets covering:
• Operations – the regular activities to provide services (e.g. opening hours, cleaning, mowing grass, energy,
inspections, etc.)
• Maintenance – the activities necessary to retain an asset as near as practicable to an appropriate service
condition. Maintenance activities enable an asset to provide service for its planned life (e.g. building and
structure repairs)
• Renewal – the activities that return the service capability of an asset up to that which it had originally (e.g.
road resurfacing and pavement reconstruction, pipeline replacement and building component replacement)
• Upgrade/New – the activities to provide a higher level of service (e.g. replacing a pipeline with a larger size)
or a new service that did not exist previously.
Service and asset managers plan, implement and control technical service levels to influence the customer service
levels.2
Table 3.5 shows the technical levels of service expected to be provided under this AMP. The Desired position in the

Note: * Current activities and costs (currently funded)
It is important to regularly monitor the service levels provided, as these will change. The current performance is
influenced by work efficiencies and technology, and customer priorities will change over time. Review and
establishment of the agreed position which achieves the best balance between service, risk and cost is essential.
Desired levels of service
89
- 15 -
At present, indications of desired levels of service are obtained from various sources including feedback to Councils,
the Authority and centre staff, service requests and correspondence. The Authority has yet to quantify desired levels
of service. This will be done in future revisions of this Asset Management Plan.
4. FUTURE DEMAND
4.1 Demand Drivers
Drivers affecting demand include things such as population change, regulations, changes in demographics, seasonal
factors, consumer preferences and expectations, technological changes, economic factors, industry changes,
environmental awareness, etc.
4.2 Demand Forecasts
The present position and projections for demand drivers that may impact future service delivery and use of assets
were identified and are documented in Table 4.3.
Population growth generally leads to intensification of the use of existing facilities.
For FAC activity, the key drivers influencing growth and the demand are:
• community expectations (levels of service); and
• an increasing and ageing population.
The changing pattern of the demographics, particularly the ageing population, along with community expectations will
impact on use and management of FAC. The demand for informal recreation opportunities may increase over time.
With regards to aquatic activities, this may result in more emphasis on leisure and fun activities compared to
traditional lane swimming. Additional infrastructure may be required to cater for the ageing population.
It is intended to manage the facilities at FAC within the capability of the existing assets rather than cater for the
population growth. There are no growth-related projects included in the 10-year forecast.
4.3 Demand Impact on Assets
The impact of demand drivers that may affect future service delivery and use of assets are shown in Table 4.3.

4.4 Demand Management Plan
Demand for new services will be managed through a combination of managing existing assets, upgrading of existing
assets and providing new assets to meet demand and demand management. Demand management practices can
include non-asset solutions, insuring against risks and managing failures.
Opportunities identified to date for demand management are shown in Table 4.4. Further opportunities will be
developed in future revisions of this AMP.

4.5 Asset Programs to meet Demand
The new assets required to meet demand can be acquired, donated or constructed. Additional assets are discussed in
Section 5.5. The summary of the cumulative value of additional asset is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Upgrade and New Assets to meet Demand – (Cumulative)
Figure Values are in current (real) dollars.
Acquiring these new assets will commit the organisation to fund ongoing operations, maintenance and renewal costs
for the period that the service provided from the assets is required. These future costs are identified and considered
in developing forecasts of future operations, maintenance.
5. LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The lifecycle management plan details how the Authority plans to manage and operate the assets at the agreed levels
of service (defined in Section 3) while managing life cycle costs.

contractors and any design challenges are being noted for potential future consideration if required.
There are currently no known deficiencies in service performance.
5.1.3 Asset condition
Condition is monitored in accordance with methods developed by IPWEA outlined in the International Infrastructure
Management Manual (IIMM).
As the centre was newly constructed in March 2017, all assets are considered to be in Condition Rating 1.
Condition is measured using a 1 – 5 grading system4 as detailed in Table 5.1.3.
Table 5.1.3: Simple Condition Grading Model
Condition
Grading
Description of Condition
1 Very Good: only planned maintenance required
2 Good: minor maintenance required plus planned maintenance
3 Fair: significant maintenance required
4 Poor: significant renewal/rehabilitation required
5 Very Poor: physically unsound and/or beyond rehabilitation
5.2 Operations and Maintenance Plan
FAC is operated under contract by YMCA SA which is responsible for ensuring the facilities are adequately maintained
and safely operated.
Operations include regular activities to provide services such as public health, safety and amenity, e.g. cleaning, pool
water management, utilities costs and lighting.
Routine maintenance is the regular on-going work that is necessary to keep assets operating, including instances
where portions of the asset fail and need immediate repair to make the asset operational again.
Maintenance includes all actions necessary for retaining an asset as near as practicable to an appropriate service
condition including regular ongoing day-to-day work necessary to keep assets operating.
Maintenance includes reactive, planned and cyclic maintenance work activities. Reactive maintenance is unplanned
repair work carried out in response to service requests and management/supervisory directions.
Planned maintenance is repair work that is identified and managed through a maintenance management system
(MMS). MMS activities include inspection, assessing the condition against failure/breakdown experience, prioritising,
scheduling, actioning the work and reporting what was done to develop a maintenance history and improve
maintenance and service delivery performance.
Cyclic maintenance is replacement of higher value components/sub-components of assets that is undertaken on a
regular cycle including repainting, building roof replacement, etc. This work generally falls below the
capital/maintenance threshold.

Maintenance expenditure is shown in Table 5.2.1.
Table 5.2.1: Maintenance Expenditure Trends
Year Maintenance Budget $
2016-17 (Mar-Jun) $1,817
2017-18 $18,476
Planned maintenance work forms the majority of the maintenance budget. Being a new site, the reactive maintenance
is expected to be minimal in the forthcoming years. Maintenance expenditure levels are considered to be adequate to
meet required service levels.
Future revision of this AMP will include linking required maintenance expenditures with required service levels.
Assessment and prioritisation of reactive maintenance is undertaken by Centre staff and specialised contractors by
using experience and judgement.
Standards and specifications
Maintenance work is carried out in accordance with the Building Code of Australia, relevant standards and industry
practice. The Authority (via the contracted operational manager of the centre) also engages contractors to carry out
maintenance works under specific contract agreements.
Summary of future operations and maintenance expenditures
Future operations and maintenance expenditure is forecast to trend in line with the value of the asset stock as shown
in Figure 4. Note that all costs are shown in current 2018 dollar values (i.e. real values).

Figure Values are in current (real) dollars
Maintenance is funded from the operating budget where available. This is further discussed in Section 7.
The YMCA asset management system includes –
• Internal audits
• Preventative and responsive maintenance strategies
• Reporting – site specific / organisational
Internal Audits - YMCA Maintenance Audit
The YMCA maintenance audit is a comprehensive assessment of the physical quality and condition of the facility and
its equipment. The audit is undertaken on a regular basis (six monthly), and documents the frequency for each
maintenance/equipment replacement item. It includes the maintenance responsibilities as described in the
Management Agreement, itemising the specific inspection required for each piece of equipment/area.
YMCA preventative maintenance schedule
The preventative maintenance schedule is driven primarily from the asset register. Within the register, assets required
to undergo routine preventative maintenance are marked and added to the preventative maintenance schedule. The
schedule includes monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual services as per asset requirements to ensure the longevity
of all items. All preventative maintenance schedules are signed off on a monthly basis by the Centre Manager.
YMCA corrective and responsive action program
This is a purpose built database that identifies items that are the responsibility of both the Authority and YMCA at the
facility. This database monitors and reports on improvement items as they arise. As a minimum, the database will
include improvement actions arising from:
• Non programmed maintenance requests
• Non-conformance items
• Outstanding items from monthly quality assurance audits
• Monthly hazard inspections
• Royal Life Saving Society audits.
As improvement actions arise, they are logged immediately into the database by FAC staff.
YMCA s ope o u i atio st ateg , i additio to the fo al epo ti g s hedule, ill e su e that the Autho it Executive Officer is aware of identified improvement issue(s) investigations and actions. Reports will be produced and
discussed at bi-monthly maintenance meetings or at contract monitoring meetings held between the Authority and
the YMCA. While monitoring, reporting and providing on time response to improvement items, the system also assists
in providing an audit trail to ensure items are reported as completed. Reports can be provided to demonstrate a
continuous improvement system is in place, rectifying issues as they arise.
5.3 Renewal/Replacement Plan
Renewal and replacement expenditure is major work which does not increase the asset s design capacity but restores,
rehabilitates, replaces or renews an existing asset to its original service potential. Work over and above restoring an
asset to original service potential is considered to be an upgrade/expansion or new work expenditure resulting in
additional future operations and maintenance costs.

Pavement Management Systems), or
• Method 3 uses a combination of average network renewals plus defect repairs in the Renewal Plan and
Defe t Repai Pla o ksheets o the E pe ditu e te plate .
Method 3 was used for this AMP.
5.3.1 Renewal ranking criteria
Asset renewal and replacement is typically undertaken to either:
• Ensure the reliability of the existing infrastructure to deliver the service it was constructed to facilitate, or
• To ensure the infrastructure is of sufficient quality to meet the service requirements.5
It is possible to get some indication of capital renewal and replacement priorities by identifying assets or asset groups
that:
• Have a high consequence of failure,
• Have high use and subsequent impact on users would be greatest,
• Have a total value representing the greatest net value,
• Have the highest average age relative to their expected lives,
• Are identified in the AMP as key cost factors,
• Have high operational or maintenance costs, and
• Have replacement with a modern equivalent asset that would provide the equivalent service at a savings.6
The ranking criteria used to determine priority of identified renewal and replacement proposals is detailed in Table
5.3.1.

5.3.2 Summary of future renewal and replacement expenditure
Projected future renewal and replacement expenditures are forecast to increase over time when the asset stock
increases. The expenditure required is shown in Fig 5. Note that all amounts are shown in current (real) dollars.
The projected capital renewal and replacement program is shown in Appendix B.

Figure Values are in current (real) dollars.
Renewals and replacement expenditure in the capital works program will be accommodated in the LTFP. This is
further discussed in Section 7.
5.4 Creation/Acquisition/Upgrade Plan
New works are those that create a new asset that did not previously exist, or works which will upgrade or improve an
existing asset beyond its existing capacity. They may result from growth, social or environmental needs. Assets may
also be acquired at no cost. These additional assets are considered in Section 4.5.
Future new capital works will be considered on the ability to reduce operating expenditure for FAC or enhance user
experiences.
5.4.1 Selection criteria
New assets and upgrade/expansion of existing assets are identified from various sources such as community requests,
proposals identified by strategic plans or partnerships with others. Candidate proposals are inspected to verify need
and to develop a preliminary renewal estimate. Verified proposals are ranked by priority and available funds and
scheduled in future works programs. The priority ranking criteria is detailed below.

Figure Values are in current (real) dollars.
Expenditure on new assets and services in the capital works program will be accommodated in the LTFP but only to
the extent of the available funds.
5.4.3 Summary of asset expenditure requirements
The financial projections from this asset plan are shown in Fig 7 for projected operating (operations and maintenance)
and capital expenditure (renewal and upgrade/expansion/new assets). Note that all costs are shown in real values.
The bars in the graphs represent the anticipated budget needs required to achieve lowest lifecycle costs, the budget
line indicates what is currently available. The gap between these informs the discussion on achieving the balance
between services, costs and risk to achieve the best value outcome.

5.5 Disposal Plan
There are no planned disposals in this plan.
6. RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN
The purpose of infrastructure risk management is to document the results and recommendations resulting from the
periodic identification, assessment and treatment of risks associated with providing services from infrastructure, using
the fundamentals of International Standard ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidelines.
Risk Management is defined in ISO 31000:2009 as: coordinated activities to direct and control with regard to risk 7.
An assessment of risks associated with service delivery from infrastructure assets has identified critical risks that will
result in loss or reduction in service from infrastructure assets or a financial shock . The risk assessment process
identifies credible risks, the likelihood of the risk event occurring, the consequences should the event occur, develops
a risk rating, evaluates the risk and develops a risk treatment plan for non-acceptable risks.
6.1 Critical Assets
Critical assets are defined as those which have a high consequence of failure causing significant loss or reduction of
service. Similarly, critical failure modes are those which have the highest consequences.
7 ISO 31000:2009, p 2
99
- 25 -
Critical assets have been identified and their typical failure mode and the impact on service delivery are as follows:
Table 6.1 Critical Assets
Critical Asset(s) Failure Mode Impact
Main building structure Structural failure to the building
and pools
Public safety risk, reduction in services,
financial cost
Heating, cooling and ventilation
systems for pool complex

Water supply (amenities, pool
systems)
Plumbing and associated services
failure
Financial Loss or reduction in services
Power supply Electrical failure Financial Loss or reduction in services
By identifying critical assets and failure modes investigative activities, condition inspection programs, maintenance
and capital expenditure plans can be targeted at the critical areas.
6.2 Risk Assessment
The risk management process used is shown in Figure 6.2 below.
It is an analysis and problem-solving technique designed to provide a logical process for the selection of treatment
plans and management actions to protect the community against unacceptable risks.
The process is based on the fundamentals of the ISO risk assessment standard ISO 31000:2009.

An assessment of risks associated with service delivery from infrastructure assets has identified the critical risks that
will result in significant loss, financial sho k or a reduction in service.
Critical risks are those assessed with Very High (requiring immediate corrective action) and High (requiring
corrective action) risk ratings. The residual risk and treatment cost after the selected treatment plan is implemented
is shown in Table 6.2. These risks and costs are reported to the Authority Executive Officer and Board.

6.3 Infrastructure Resilience Approach
The resilience of our critical infrastructure is vital to our customers and the services we provide. To adapt to changing
conditions and grow over time we need to understand our capacity to respond to possible disruptions and be
positioned to absorb disturbance and act effectively in a crisis to ensure continuity of service.
YMCA, as FAC operational managers, operate and manage the centre in line with the following risk management
documents and plans:
• WHS Risk Management Framework
• Work Health and Safety Policy
• WHS Management System
• Hazard Management Procedure
• Hazard identification, risk assessment & control protocol
• Business Continuity Plan
• Master Risk Control Plan
• Public Health and Safety Plan
• Evacuation, Emergency & Incident Procedures
In particular, the purpose of the YMCA Business Continuity Plan is to ensure the continuation of FAC business during
and following any critical incident that results in disruption to the normal operational capability. The Business
Continuity Plan is a key aspect of the YMCA governance and risk management strategy which focuses on business
continuity risks and responses in the event of a material threat to FAC assets and/or continuing operations
eventuating. The Business Continuity Plan identifies critical business functions, resources and infrastructure which, if
disrupted, would have a material impact on FAC s a ilit to deli e its se i es, as ell as impacting on assets and
operations.
Risks associated with users of FAC facilities are mitigated through compliance with standards and regular inspections
and assessment. The Autho it s risk management strategy in relation to FAC is:
• to maintain and ensure compliance with up to date Health and Safety Plans for all staff and contractors and
manage the contractors response to new Health & Safety issues;
102
- 28 -
• to monitor the condition of FAC plant on a regular basis and maintain compliance with water quality
standards;
• that a regular maintenance program is delivered;
• to monitor potential hazards on a regular basis, and to take appropriate action to reduce possible risks by
eliminating, mitigating or isolating the hazard as soon as any potential hazard is identified;
• to monitor the structural aspects of the facility and ensure that they are maintained in a safe and sound
condition that complies with the Building Code of Australia 2014 where required; and
• to monitor the contractors performance against the operations contract.
6.4 Service and Risk Trade-Offs
The decisions made in adopting this AMP are based on the objective to achieve the optimum benefits from the
available resources.
6.4.1 What we cannot do
There are no known operations and maintenance activities and capital projects that are unable to be undertaken
within the next 10 years.
7. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
This section contains the financial requirements resulting from all the information presented in the previous sections
of this AMP. The financial projections will be improved as further information becomes available on desired levels of
service and current and projected future asset performance.
7.1 Financial Statements and Projections
7.1.1 Asset valuations
The best available estimate of the value of assets included in this AMP are shown below. Assets are valued at fair
value.
Gross Replacement Cost $21,068,561
Depreciable Amount $21,068,561
Depreciated Replacement Cost8 $20,874,282
Annual Average Asset Consumption $673,451
7.1.1 Sustainability of service delivery
Two key indicators for service delivery sustainability have been considered in the analysis of the services provided by
this asset category, these being the:
• asset renewal funding ratio 100%
• medium term budgeted expenditures/projected expenditure (over 10 years of the planning period).

Asset Renewal Funding Ratio
Asset Renewal Funding Ratio9 100%
The Asset Renewal Funding Ratio is the most important indicator and indicates that over the next 10 years of the
forecasting that we expect to have 100% of the funds required for the optimal renewal and replacement of assets.
Medium term – 10 year financial planning period
This AMP identifies the projected operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditures required to provide an
agreed level of service to the community over a 10 year period. This provides input into 10 year financial and funding
plans aimed at providing the required services in a sustainable manner.
These projected expenditures may be compared to budgeted expenditures in the 10 year period to identify any
funding shortfall. In a core AMP, a gap is generally due to increasing asset renewals for ageing assets.
The projected operations, maintenance and capital renewal expenditure required over the 10 year planning period is
$695,000 on average per year.
Estimated (budget) operations, maintenance and capital renewal funding is $693,000 on average per year giving a 10
year funding shortfall of $-1000 per year. This indicates 100% of the projected expenditures needed to provide the
services documented in the AMP. This excludes upgrade/new assets.
[Author note: To be updated with final LTFP data. These figures should be the same i.e. difference of zero]
Providing services from infrastructure in a sustainable manner requires the matching and managing of service levels,
risks, projected expenditures and financing to achieve a financial indicator of approximately 1.0 for the first years of
the AMP and ideally over the 10-year life of the LTFP.
7.1.2 Projected expenditures for LTFP
Table 7.1.2 shows the projected expenditures for the 10 year long term financial plan.
Expenditure projections are in 2018 real values.

7.2 Funding Strategy
Funding for assets is set out in the budget and LTFP.
The financial strategy of the Authority determines how funding will be provided, whereas the AMP communicates
how and when this will be spent, along with the service and risk consequences of differing options.
7.3 Valuation Forecasts
Asset values are forecast to decrease as additional assets are added.
Additional assets will generally add to the operations and maintenance needs in the longer term, as well as the need
for future renewal. Additional assets will also add to future depreciation forecasts.
7.4 Key Assumptions Made in Financial Forecasts
This section details the key assumptions made in presenting the information contained in this AMP. It is presented to
enable readers to gain an understanding of the levels of confidence in the data behind the financial forecasts.
Key assumptions made in this AMP are:

Assumption Discussion
Financial
assumptions
That all expenditure has been stated
in 2018 dollar values and no allowance
has been made for inflation over the
10-year planning period.
The LTFP will incorporate inflation factors. This could
have a significant impact on the affordability of the plans
if inflation is higher than allowed for.
FRAC Assets will remain in Authority
ownership throughout the planning
period
No change to asset ownership is anticipated during the
planning period
Asset capital costs are based on
consultant assessment of renewals /

Asset data
knowledge
That the Authority has sufficient
knowledge of the assets and their
condition so that the planned renewal
work will allow the Authority to meet
its levels of service.
There are several areas where the Authority needs to
improve its knowledge and assessments but there is a low
risk that the improved knowledge will cause a significant
change to the level of expenditure required.
Funding That FAC will continue to be Constituent Councils acknowledge that FAC will require an

policy
That there will be no significant
changes in legislation or policy.
The risk of major change is moderate due to the changing
nature of government. If major changes occur it is likely
to have an impact on the required expenditure. The
Authority has not mitigated the effect of this.

8. PLAN IMPROVEMENT AND MONITORING
8.1 Status of Asset Management Practices11
8.1.1 Accounting and financial data sources
The Authority uses MYOB Account Right Accounting software.
The Australian Accounting Standards provide the benchmark against which the Authority reports on asset accounting.
Additions or replacements to the Building Stock are capitalised as follows:
• $1,000 for furniture, fittings and minor equipment; and
• $5,000 for plant, major equipment, buildings and infrastructure.
There are no changes to accounting systems as a resulting from this AMP.
8.1.2 Asset management data sources
The Authority does not have a separate Asset Management software system. Records are maintained in an Excel

8.3 Monitoring and Review Procedures
This AMP will be reviewed during annual budget planning processes and amended to show any material changes in
service levels and/or resources available to provide those services as a result of budget decisions.
The AMP will be updated annually to ensure it represents the current service level, asset values, projected operations,
maintenance, capital renewal and replacement, capital upgrade/new and asset disposal expenditures and projected
expenditure values incorporated into the LTFP.
The AMP has a life of 10 years and is due for complete revision and updating within 2 years after endorsement.
8.4 Performance Measures
The effectiveness of the AMP can be measured in the following ways:
• The degree to which the required projected expenditures identified in this AMP are incorporated into the
LTFP
• The degree to which 1-5 year detailed works programs, budgets, business plans and corporate structures take
into account the global works program trends provided by the AMP
• The degree to which the existing and projected service levels and service consequences (what we cannot do),
risks and residual risks are incorporated into the Strategic Plan and associated plans
• The Asset Renewal Funding Ratio achieving the target of 100%.

From: Executive Officer
Subject: FRACA Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027 Meeting date: 22 March 2018 Item: 7.4 Reference(s): Local Government Act 1999
FRAC Authority Charter Consultation: Area Manager, YMCA SA Attachments: Draft Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek feedback from the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority
(FRACA) Audit & Risk Management Committee (ARMC) on the draft FRACA Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027.
RECOMMENDATION

Officer will update the plan in line with Committee feedback;
2. Recommend that the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority endorse the draft
FRACA Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027 for the purposes of public consultation.
INFORMATION
The Authority Charter provides:
5.5 Long Term Financial Plan
5.5.1 The Authority must prepare and submit to the Constituent Councils for their approval a Long Term
Financial Plan covering a period of at least ten (10) years in a form and including such matters which, as
relevant, is consistent with Section 122 of the Act and the Local Government (Financial Management)
Regulations 2011 as if the Authority were a council.

DISCUSSION
The draft Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027 (LTFP) is provided as an attachment to this report.
The draft LTFP was prepared with assistance from the Authority contracted Management Accountant.
The proposed fees and charges for 2018-19 have been applied in development of the draft operational budget for the Authority for 2018-19. Indicative increases in fees for financial years 2019-20 and 2020-21 have also been applied in development of the draft LTFP.
Key financial indicators
The Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011 Part 2, 5(1) requires that the
Authority LTFP includes estimates and target ranges adopted by the Authority for each year of the
LTFP with respect to an operating surplus ratio, a net financial liabilities ratio and an asset sustainability ratio.
Due to the nature of the Authority funding model, the net financial liabilities ratio is not relevant. This
is due to cash reserves (predominantly Depreciation Reserve) being significantly higher than projected liabilities for the life of the plan; and the resultant ratio not being a useful measurement of
financial performance for the Authority. Please note; ‘Cash & Cash Equivalents’ is forecast to reach
a balance of $7.45 million by 30 June 2027 in line with the forecast accumulated depreciation at that date.
Given the above, an alternate third financial sustainability ratio is proposed for use; that being the ‘Own Source Income Ratio’ (please refer below).
The Key Financial Indicators support a positive forward outlook and adherence over the longer term to the Authority’s financial sustainability.
Indicator Target Short Term (2019-2021)
Target Medium Term (2022-2024)
Target Short Term (2025-2028)
Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio - % 0% 0% 0% Own Source Income Ratio 59-64% 64-65% 66-67% Asset Sustainability Ratio - % n/a 100% 100%
Operating Surplus / (Deficit) Ratio
The Operating Ratio measures the extent to which the Authority’s operating income meets its
operating expenditure. Due to the financial operating model for the Authority, the Operating
Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio will always be zero at budget however may be less or greater than zero at
year end should the operating result differ from the budget.
Own Source Income Ratio
This ratio is calculated as ‘income excluding Council contributions’ as a percentage of total Authority expenditure. The forecast ratio for 2018-2019 is 59%; the gradual increase in this ratio over the life of the LTFP will indicate improvement in the Authority’s financial self-sustainability.
Asset Sustainability Ratio
The Asset Sustainability Ratio is a measure of the Authority’s capital expenditure on renewal or
replacement of assets relative to the level of such expenditure proposed in the Authority’s Asset
Management Plan. The Asset Sustainability ratio indicates that the forecast expenditure on the
renewal and replacement of assets (based on the Asset Management Plan) and what the Authority’s proposes to spend on these assets (budgeted capital expenditure) are aligned. The
116
Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 3
Asset Sustainability Ratio is not applicable for years in which no expenditure on renewal and
replacement of assets is forecast; however, is forecast at 100% over the remaining years of the plan.
RISK ASSESSMENT

3. Overview
The Authority considers that its Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is a fundamental instrument of
accountability and projections for its planned activities over a ten-year timeframe. The key
objective of the LTFP is financial sustainability in the medium to longer term, while still achieving the Authority’s objectives as specified in its Charter and Strategic Plan.
The LTFP ensures that we understand the impact of decisions made today on our future. This
means ensuring the cost-effective delivery of services, and the appropriate maintenance and renewal of our significant asset (FAC) in a financially sustainable manner.
The purpose of this plan is not to provide specific detail about individual services. The LTFP
provides a decision-making tool that allows various assumptions to be applied that will indicate the ability of the Authority to deliver cost effective services to our community in the future in a financially sustainable manner.
The Authority Board has adopted a fee structure for services delivered at FAC based on market research, competitor analysis, recommendations from contracted operational managers YMCA SA
(based on its significant industry knowledge and experience); and application of pricing strategies
to support establishment of FAC as a greenfield site. The Authority aims to provide an affordable, competitive and equitable fee structure for FAC.
FAC’s primary catchment area of 23,157 residents is comprised of a higher than average over 50-
year-old population (13,193 or 57%) and lower than average under 15-year-old population (3,140).
The catchment area also has lower than average income levels. The weekly household income profile of the catchment area is comparatively lower than all other regions and the highest
proportion of low-income households. Specifically, the proportion of low-income households is 6% higher than regional South Australia and 10% higher than South Australia as a whole.
As such, the identified catchment has increased price sensitivities compared to state averages. In
line with local demographics, prices are set at the middle to lower end of the competitor pricing
continuum. To further address cost barriers, the Aquatic Centre offers discounted membership for
older community members and youth; and concession discounts for casual admissions, visit passes and memberships.
The Authority is proposing minimal capital works ($370,942) over the ten years of the plan in recognition of the age of the facility (construction completed in March 2017) and in line with the Authority Asset Management Plan.
4. Planning framework
This document presents the Long Term Financial Plan for the years 2017/18 to 2027/28. The basis of the LTFP is consistent with the Financial Statements 30 June 2017 and the 2017/18
Annual Business Plan and Budget adopted by the Authority and any authorised amendments. The
LTFP is informed by the Authority Strategic Plan 2018-2027, 3-Year Business Plan and any
authorised amendments; and the Asset Management Plan 2018-2027 projections for new, upgraded and renewal of assets for 2018 to 2027.
This is a fluid document, which will be updated and amended over time as circumstances change.
The Authority will review its LTFP twice each year; once during the review of its 3-Year Business Plan and preparation of its annual Budget; and again, following the financial year end. Other
updates are made to the LTFP, where it is considered appropriate. In addition, a full review is required at least every four years (per the Charter).
The 10-year LTFP is prepared based on a number of assumptions (please refer to page 8), with
regard to projected fees, charges and Constituent Council contributions and also includes
assumptions with regard to future operational and capital expenditure. Given that LTFPs are
derived from an estimate of future performance, it should be appreciated that actual results are
121
20180314 LTFP 2018_2027 Draft Page 5 of 21
likely to vary from the information contained in the LTFP and at times these variations could be material.
It should also be noted that as FAC only commenced operations in March 2017, normalised income and expenditure levels are still to be determined.
The Authority has prepared an Asset Management Plan to assist in determining the funding
impact of maintaining and replacing our assets. These projections are based on the current understanding of asset management needs over the next ten years and ensure that assets are
maintained at a safe and functional standard that meet community expectations and cater for future growth and demographic changes.
The LTFP includes an allocation of approximately $371,000 for capital expenditure projects in line
with the Asset Management Plan. The Authority currently has no debt. Should any borrowings be
considered in the future, this debt will be regarded primarily as a tool to be used in a strategic
perspective towards renewal and replacement of assets. Should it be required, debt will be considered:
• in the context of the strategic objectives of the Authority
• in the context of long term financial forecasts and objectives
• as funding for long term infrastructure asset creation
• as a means of spreading the recovery of infrastructure costs over time
• as a mechanism to fund temporary cash shortfalls.
The construction of FAC was funded by the Constituent Councils with funding support from the
Federal Government and the South Australian Government’s Community, Recreation and Sport Facilities Program; and a generous land donation from Beyond Today. The aim of the State
Government funding program is to support the strategic objective of increasing the proportion of South Australians participating in sport or physical recreation at least once per week to 50% by
20201. The Australian Government funding was provided for 'the provision of an indoor aquatic
centre to provide health, sport and recreation facilities for the growing communities around Victor
Harbor and Goolwa'.
A business case was undertaken by the Constituent Councils in 2013 in respect of establishing a
regional aquatic centre which incorporated a health and fitness studio. The business case
examined population trends and anticipated demand for a regional aquatic facility, the aquatic and health and fitness markets relevant to a regional aquatic centre and the financial viability of a
regional aquatic centre. The Business Case concluded that a regional aquatic facility would
operate at a loss in each of the first five years of operation and would require a financial contribution from the Constituent Councils.
Operating cash surpluses will be generated as a result of the Constituent Council operating
contributions provided to the Authority including an allocation of funds in line with annual forecast
depreciation expense. These funds are invested with the Local Government Financing Authority and will be used to fund capital expenditure on renewal and replacement of assets.
To determine whether this LTFP ensures financial sustainability of the Authority’s operations over the long term, appropriate financial indicators have been endorsed by the Authority.
The LTFP is an evolving document that will be renewed over time as a result of changes to the
community and constituent Council expectations; changes to income and expenditure projections; and to remain directly linked to the Asset Management Plan. The Authority’s 3-Year Business Plan
and Annual Budget is prepared on the basis of the LTFP, taking into account any new information and economic factors at the time of preparation.

5. Measuring our performance
Key financial indicators
Key Financial Indicators enable an assessment of the Authority’s long term financial performance
and position and will place the Authority on a path to deliver long term sustainability of operations
(based on the assumptions used in the modelling) and give it the flexibility to respond to anticipated future costs.
The Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011 Part 2, 5(1) requires that the
Authority LTFP includes estimates and target ranges adopted by the Authority for each year of the LTFP with respect to an operating surplus ratio, a net financial liabilities ratio and an asset
sustainability ratio. Due to the nature of the Authority funding model, the net financial liabilities ratio
is not relevant. This is due to cash reserves (predominantly Depreciation Reserve) being
significantly higher than projected liabilities for the life of the plan; and the resultant ratio not being a useful measurement of financial performance for the Authority.
Given the above, an alternate third financial sustainability ratio is proposed for use; that being the ‘Own Source Income Ratio’ (please refer below).
The Key Financial Indicators support a positive forward outlook and adherence over the longer
term to the Authority’s financial sustainability. The Authority has set targets for its Key Financial
Indicators to guide revenue and expenditure decisions; overall budget strategies and future decision making.
Indicator Target Short
Term (2019-2021)

Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio -
%
0% 0% 0%
Own Source Income Ratio 59-64% 64-65% 66-67%
Asset Sustainability Ratio - % n/a 100% 100%
Operating Surplus / (Deficit) Ratio
The Operating Ratio measures the extent to which the Authority’s operating income meets its
operating expenditure. The Authority is funded by user-pays charges for services delivered at FAC
and by contributions from constituent Councils in line with the Authority Charter (please refer
below).
The Authority Charter provides:
5.2 Financial Contributions
5.2.1 The Constituent Councils will contribute funds to the Authority as set out in the Budget adopted by
the Authority and approved by the Constituent Councils.
5.2.2 The Constituent Councils may agree to provide the Authority with additional funds at any time on
such terms and conditions, if any, as determined by the Constituent Councils.
123
20180314 LTFP 2018_2027 Draft Page 7 of 21
Constituent Council contributions to the Authority are forecast in annual budgets and in the LTFP
at amounts equivalent to the forecast operating deficit (including depreciation and excluding such
contributions). As such, until the Authority achieves financial self-sustainability (which is not
anticipated to occur during the term of this plan), the operating surplus ratio forecast in the LTFP
will be 0%.
Due to the financial operating model for the Authority, the Operating Surplus/(Deficit) Ratio will
always be zero at budget however may be less or greater than zero at year end should the operating result differ from the budget.
Own Source Income Ratio
This ratio is calculated as ‘income excluding Council contributions’ as a percentage of total Authority expenditure. The forecast ratio for 2018-2019 is 59%; the gradual increase in this ratio over the life of the LTFP will indicate improvement in the Authority’s financial self-sustainability.
Asset Sustainability Ratio
The Asset Sustainability Ratio is a measure of the Authority’s capital expenditure on renewal or replacement of assets relative to the level of such expenditure proposed in the Authority’s Asset Management Plan.
The Asset Sustainability ratio indicates that the forecast expenditure on the renewal and replacement of assets (based on the Asset Management Plan) and what the Authority’s proposes to spend on these assets (budgeted capital expenditure) are aligned. As such, the Asset
Sustainability Ratio is not applicable for years in which no expenditure on renewal and
replacement of assets is forecast; however, is forecast at 100% over the remaining years of the plan.
6. Financing the Plan
The table below shows the Authority’s estimated net lending/ (borrowing) result for the LTFP. The
data is drawn from the Authority’s Estimated Uniform Presentation of Finances (refer Appendix A). The Authority LTFP has a net lending result for the life of the plan.

8. Assumptions
Operating Income
User Charges
User charges relate to the recovery of service delivery costs through the charging of fees to users
of FAC. In preparing the FAC 2018-2019 Budget, YMCA and the Authority Executive Officer have
reviewed current fees and charges. The fees proposed for 2018-2019 reflect an overall increase of 2.4% on 2017-2018 prices and include new fees and charges for a range of fitness based allied
health services. A full year of new children’s programs (Flippa Ball & Synchro) and of Water Polo are reflected; as is increased casual group fitness income based on increased offering.
125
20180314 LTFP 2018_2027 Draft Page 9 of 21
User charges for years 1 to 4 include a growth allocation based on projections by the FAC operational managers. Increases in user charges have been indexed by CPI for years 5 to 10 and
include no growth allocation. User Charges as a percentage of operating income is an average of 60% for the period of the plan.
Grants and Subsidies
Operating Grants are based on identified grants and include grants and subsidies from all sources
but excludes amounts specifically received for new/ upgraded assets (i.e. the acquisition or
enhancement of assets). Grants and subsidies as a percentage of operating income is an average of 0% for the period of the plan.
Council contributions
Contributions are received from constituent Councils in line with the Authority Charter (please refer
above). Constituent Council contributions to the Authority are forecast in annual budgets and in
the LTFP at amounts equivalent to the forecast operating deficit (including depreciation and excluding such contributions).
Investment Income
Investment income for each year is based on cash balances at the end of the previous year.
Amounts Specifically for New / Upgraded Assets
Income for New/ Upgraded Assets is based on funding received from Councils for new assets; subject to Council approval on a case by case basis.
A capital expenditure budget of $41,840 is proposed for 2018-2019 for new assets that action a number of operational challenges identified during the first year of operations and to support the expansion of
the group fitness program; with a forecast of $0 annually for the remaining life of the plan.
Operating Expenses
FAC operating expenses for years 1 to 4 include a growth allocation based on projections by the
FAC operational managers. Indexing of operating expenses for years 5 to 10 is based on the South Australian Consumer Price Index as forecast by ‘Deloitte Access Economics Business Outlook’ Edition December 2017. The following year CPI is applied to the preceding years expenditure – in essence calculating a cumulative effect.
The Local Government Price Index (LGPI) measures price movements faced by Local
Government in South Australia in respect of their purchases of goods and services. LGPI has not been applied to depreciation; the South Australian Consumer Price Index has been applied.
FAC Operational Management Fees:
The management fee for FAC operational management is fixed until 1 November 2019 with the
current Operational Management Agreement due to expire on 31 October 2019. The fee for
November 2019 onwards for the remaining life of the plan is currently based on the existing contract fee plus annual indexation. This will be reviewed following future contract negotiations.
Materials, Contracts & Other Expenses
Materials cover payments for physical goods including purchase of consumables, water and
energy. Contract services involve payments for the external provision of services. Over the period
of the plan, growth and CPI has been applied for indexation purposes. Materials, Contracts and Other Expenses as a percentage of operating expenditure is an average of 79% for the period of the plan.
126
20180314 LTFP 2018_2027 Draft Page 10 of 21
Depreciation
Depreciation is an accounting measure, which records the consumption of the Authority’s infrastructure, property, plant and equipment and has been based on the Authority’s Asset
Management Plan. It reflects the combined effect of the impact of depreciable assets created by
capital expenditure on new/ upgraded assets, and the ongoing impact of regularly revaluing infrastructure assets on a ‘fair value’ basis. Depreciation expense as a percentage of operating expenditure is an average of 21% for the period of the plan.
Net Outlays on New and Existing Assets
Asset Renewals are based on the Authority’s Asset Management Plan, with allocations of $0.3
million over the ten years of the plan. New and Upgrade Assets have been based on the Authority’s Asset Management Plan. With allocations of $0.04 million over the ten years of the plan.
Indexing of asset purchases are based on the South Australian Consumer Price Index as forecast by ‘Deloitte Access Economics Business Outlook’ Edition December 2017. As expenditure occurs in future years – the CPI applied is the ‘cumulative years’ rate.
Proceeds & Repayment of Borrowings
The Authority has a Treasury Management Policy to ensure that it maximises the return on
surplus funds, taking into consideration the level of risk. Authority funds are preserved and
invested in accordance with its legislative and common law responsibilities ensuring that interest cost of borrowings is minimised. All investments and borrowings are to be made exercising the
care, diligence and skill that a prudent person of business would exercise in managing the affairs of other persons.
There are no forecast borrowings for the life of the plan.
Balance Sheet
Assets
Trade and Other Receivables are not expected to change significantly and therefore have been
based in accordance with the 2017 Financial Statements. Non-Current Assets reflect the
combined effect of all capital expenditure, the depreciation of existing assets, the book value of assets sold and the ongoing revaluation of infrastructure assets on a ‘fair value’ basis.
Liabilities
Trade, Other Payables and Provisions are not expected to change significantly throughout the life of the plan and have been forecast based on estimated accrual of expenses at year end.
Equity
Authority total equity is forecast to increase in 2019 by $41,040 reflecting capital expenditure on new assets and then be static for the remaining life of the plan.
9. Planning for the Future
The Authority has mandatory responsibilities under the Local Government Act and other relevant
legislation; as well as under its Charter. These include:
• setting fees and charges; preparing an annual budget; and determining longer-term
strategic management plans for FAC;
• management of infrastructure including the FAC facility, gardens, internal roads, footpaths,
lighting and storm-water drainage
FAC operates on a fee for service basis and provides important community benefits whilst also generating revenue to help deliver a value for money service.

Long-Term Financial
Plan (LTFP)
A Plan that projects a forecast of the Authority’s financial performance and position over a period of at least 10 years. It is one of a suite of documents that
collectively make up the Authority’s Strategic Management Plan and the Long Term Financial Plan should be consistent with, and express financially, actions
expressed or required to give effect to strategies proposed in these other
documents.
Model Financial
Statements
A template format for the presentation of Annual Financial Statements for
South Australian Councils and other bodies established pursuant to the Local
Government Act. The Model Financial Statements comply with Australian
Accounting Standards and additional requirements imposed under the Local
Government (Financial Management) Regulations and are updated annually by
the LGA.
Net Financial Liabilities Net financial liabilities represent what is owed to others less money held,
invested or owed to the Authority. Net financial liabilities is the most
comprehensive measure of the indebtedness of the Authority as it includes
items such as employee long service leave entitlements and other amounts
payable as well as taking account of the level of the Authority’s cash and investments. It is calculated as total liabilities of the Authority less its financial
assets (excluding equity accounted investments in Authority businesses).
Net Financial Liabilities
Ratio
The net financial liabilities ratio indicates the extent to which net financial
liabilities of the Authority at a point in time could be met by its annual operating
revenue. The ratio is calculated by expressing net financial liabilities at the end
of a reporting period as a percentage of the Authority’s operating revenue for the same reporting period.
Net Lending/
(Borrowing)
The Authority’s Net lending/ (borrowing) result in a financial year is calculated as the operating surplus/ (deficit), less capital expenditure on assets, plus
depreciation and sale of assets. A ‘net borrowing’ result therefore represents the extent to which operating expenses (less depreciation) and capital
expenditure exceeds funding provided by operating revenue and amounts
received specifically for new/ upgraded assets. A net borrowing result
increases the Authority’s accumulated level of net financial liabilities. A net lending result reduces the level of net financial liabilities.
One off Expenditure or income occurring only once. Operating The provision of
services to the Community and ongoing operation of the Authority.
Operating Surplus/
Deficit Ratio
The operating surplus ratio is calculated by expressing the operating surplus/
deficit shown in a Statement of Comprehensive Income as a percentage of
operating income. A negative ratio indicates the percentage increase in total
rates that would be required to achieve an operating break-even result (i.e.
income is equal to operating expenses).
Prudential
Requirements
The requirements set out in Section 48 of the Local Government Act that must
be satisfied prior to the Authority undertaking a significant project as defined in
Section 48(1).
Public Consultation
Policy
Policies outlining when public consultation is required and how such
consultation will be undertaken.
Recurrent/ Recurring Expenditure or income reoccurs every year for the duration of the service/
activity. The impact of these types of changes can affect all future years of the
LTFP.
Service Charge An additional charge for a specific service based on the cost of operating these
services.
Service Standards Levels of service prescribed for any service provided by the Authority.
Statement of Cash
Flow
Refer definition for Cash Flow Statement. Statement of Changes in Equity A

130
20180314 LTFP 2018_2027 Draft Page 14 of 21
changes in an organisation’s equity between two reporting dates and reflects the increase or decrease in net assets during the period.
Statement of
Comprehensive
Income

Refer definition for Balance Sheet. Summary Statement including Financing
Transactions A high level summary of both operating and capital investment
activities of the Authority prepared on a uniform and consistent basis. Amongst
other things, this enables meaningful comparisons of the Authority’s finances. It also enables financial performance data of the Local Government sector as a
whole to be assembled and reported.
Strategic Plan (SP) A strategic planning document which focuses on the community, rather than
the internal operations of the Authority. The Authority must develop and adopt
plans (which may take various forms) for the management of its area, to be
called collectively the Strategic Management Plans. Section 122 of the Local
Government Act specifies some requirements concerning the timing, content
and process for developing such plans (which include both LTFPs and AMPs).
Treasury Management
Policy
Establishes a decision framework to ensure that: funds are available as
required to support approved outlays; interest rate and other risks (e.g. liquidity
and investment credit risks) are acknowledged and responsibly managed; and
the net interest costs associated with borrowing and investing are reasonably
likely to be minimised on average over the longer term.

Audit & Risk Management Committee Report
Page 1
To: FRACA Audit & Risk Management Committee
From: Executive Officer
Subject: Draft Operational Management Key Performance Indicators 2017/18
Meeting date: 22 March 2018 Item: 9.1
Reference(s): FRAC Authority Charter
Consultation: Area Manager, YMCA SA
Attachments: Nil
CONFIDENTIAL ITEM – Public agenda version
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek feedback from the Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre Authority (Authority) Audit & Risk Management Committee (Committee) on the draft Key Performance Indicators for YMCA South Australia for management and operations of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre for 2018-2019.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Committee:
1) Under the provisions of Section 90(2) of the Local Government Act 1999 make an order that the public be excluded from the meeting, except for the Executive Officer, Ms Leonie Boothby; in order to consider in confidence a report relating to Section 90(3)(d) of the Local Government Act 1999:
(d) commercial information of a confidential nature (not being a trade secret) the disclosure of
which—
(i) could reasonably be expected to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied
the information, or to confer a commercial advantage on a third party; and
(ii) would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest;
relating to the consideration of draft Key Performance Indicators for YMCA South Australia for management and operations of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre for 2018-2019, being information that must be considered in confidence in order to ensure that the Authority does not disclose commercial information of a confidential nature (not being a trade secret); and
2) Accordingly, on this basis, the Authority is satisfied that public interest in conducting meetings in a place open to the public has been outweighed by the need to keep the information and discussion confidential to prevent the disclosure of commercial information of a confidential nature (not being a trade secret).
Substantiation:
The matter of the agenda item being consideration of draft Key Performance Indicators for YMCA South Australia for management and operations of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre for 2018-2019 pursuant to Section 90(3)(d) of the Local Government Act 1999 (“the Act”) being information that must be considered in confidence to ensure that commercial information of a confidential nature (not being a trade secret); is not divulged.

Audit & Risk Management Committee Report

There is strong public interest in enabling members of the public to observe the Authority’s transparent and informed decision-making. This helps to ensure accountability, maintain transparency of public expenditure, facilitate public participation, assist public awareness and allow for the scrutiny of information. Attendance at a meeting of the Authority is one means of satisfying this interest. The public will only be excluded from a meeting of the Authority when the need for confidentiality pursuant to Section 90(2) of the Act outweighs the public interest of open decision-making.
In this matter, the reasons that receipt, consideration or discussion of the information or matter in a meeting open to the public would be contrary to the public interest are that discussion will include discussion pertaining to the disclosure of commercial information of a confidential nature (not being a trade secret) that may prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied the information or confer a commercial advantage on a third party.
On balance, the above reasons which support the need for confidentiality pursuant to Section 90(2) of the Act outweigh the factors in favour of the public interest of open decision making.
3) Having considered this matter in confidence under Section 90(2) and 90(3)(d) of the Local Government Act 1999, makes an order pursuant to Section 91(7) and (9), that the agenda report, associated documents and minutes in relation to the 22 March 2018 confidential item 9.1, Draft
Operational Management Key Performance Indicators 2018-2019, be kept confidential and not available for public inspection other than information required to be released in accordance with any relevant requirements of Section 91(8) of the Local Government Act 1999; and
In accordance with (3) above and Section 91(9)(c) of the Local Government Act 1999, authorises the Executive Officer to review and revoke the order.
