Hobsons Bay City Council

2015/2016 Financial Report

IntroductionHobsons Bay City Council was established by an Order of the Governor in Council on 22 June 1994 and is a body corporate. The Council's main office is located at 115 Civic Parade, Altona.

Statement of compliance These financial statements are a general purpose financial report that consists of a Comprehensive Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Capital Works and Notes accompanying these financial statements. The general purpose financial report complies with the Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Local Government Act 1989, and the Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of accountingThe accrual basis of accounting has been used in the preparation of these financial statements, whereby assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated judgements are based on professional judgement derived from historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods that are affected by the revision. Judgements and assumptions made by management in the application of AAS's that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates relate to: - the fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment (refer to Note 1 (l) ) - the determination of depreciation for buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment (refer to Note 1 (m) ) - the determination of employee provisions (refer to Note 1 (s) )

Unless otherwise stated, all accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the prior year. Where appropriate, comparative figures have been amended to accord with current presentation, and disclosure has been made of any material changes to comparatives.

(b) Changes in accounting policies

There have been no changes in accounting policies from the previous period.

(c) Committees of managementAll entities controlled by Council that have material revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities, such as committees of management, have been included in this financial report. Any transactions between these entities and Council have been eliminated in full.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies (cont.)

(d) Revenue recognitionIncome is recognised when the Council obtains control of the contribution or the right to receive the contribution, it is probable that the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the Council and the amount of the contribution can be measured reliably.

Rates and Charges

Statutory fees and finesStatutory fees and fines (including parking fees and fines) are recognised as revenue when the service has been provided, the payment is received, or when the penalty has been applied, whichever first occurs.

User feesUser fees are recognised as revenue when the service has been provided or the payment is received, whichever first occurs.

GrantsGrant income is recognised when Council obtains control of the contribution. This is normally obtained upon their receipt (or acquittal) or upon earlier notification that a grant has been secured, and are valued at their fair value at the date of transfer.

Where grants or contributions recognised as revenues during the financial year were obtained on condition that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period and those conditions were undischarged at balance date, the unused grant or contribution is disclosed in Note 6. The note also discloses the amount of unused grant or contribution from prior years that was expended on Council’s operations during the current year.

ContributionsMonetary and non monetary contributions are recognised as revenue when Council obtains control over the contributed asset.

Sale of property, infrastructure, plant and equipmentThe profit or loss on sale of an asset is determined when control of the asset has irrevocably passed to the buyer.

InterestInterest is recognised as it is earned.

DividendsDividend revenue is recognised when the Council's right to receive payment is established.

Other IncomeOther income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognised when Council gains control over the right to receive the income.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies (cont.)

(e) Fair value measurement

Council measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value where required or permitted by Australian Accounting Standards. AASB 13 Fair value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Australian Accounting Standards.AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within a fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable: andLevel 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Council has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.In addition, Council determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

(f) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits at call, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(g) Trade and other receivablesReceivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised when there is objective evidence that an impairment has occurred.

(h) Other financial assetsOther financial assets are valued at fair value, being market value, at balance date. Term deposits are measured at amortised cost. Any unrealised gains and losses on holdings at balance date are recognised as either a revenue or expense.

(i) InventoriesInventories held for distribution are measured at cost, adjusted when applicable for any loss of service potential. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.All other inventories, including land held for sale, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Where inventories are acquired for no cost or nominal consideration, they are measured at current replacement cost at the date of acquisition.

(j) Non-current assets classified as held for saleA non-current asset classified as held for sale (including disposal groups) is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and are not subject to depreciation. Non-current assets, disposal groups and related liabilities and assets are treated as current and classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset's sale (or disposal group sale) is expected to be completed within 12 months from the date of classification.

(k) Recognition and measurement of property, plant and equipment, infrastructure, intangiblesAcquisitionThe purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets, being the fair value of assets provided as consideration at the date of acquisition plus any incidental costs attributable to the acquisition. Fair value is the amount for which the asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Where assets are constructed by Council, cost includes all materials used in construction, direct labour, borrowing costs incurred during construction, and an appropriate share of directly attributable variable and fixed overheads.In accordance with Council's policy, the threshold limits detailed in Note 1 (m) have been applied when recognising assets within an applicable asset class and unless otherwise stated are consistent with the prior year.

(l) Recognition and measurement of property, plant and equipment, infrastructure, intangibles (cont'd)RevaluationSubsequent to the initial recognition of assets, non-current physical assets, other than plant and equipment, are measured at their fair value, being the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. At balance date, the Council reviewed the carrying value of the individual classes of assets measured at fair value to ensure that each asset materially approximated its fair value. Where the carrying value materially differed from the fair value at balance date, the class of asset was revalued.Fair value valuations are determined in accordance with a valuation hierarchy. Changes to the valuation hierarchy will only occur if an external change in the restrictions or limitations of use of an asset result in changes to the permissible or practical highest and best use of the asset. Further details regarding the fair value hierarchy are disclosed at Note 22 Property, infrastructure, plant and equipment.In addition, Council undertakes a formal revaluation of land, buildings, and infrastructure assets on a regular basis ranging from one to two years. The valuation is performed either by experienced council officers or independent experts.Where the assets are revalued, the revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that an increment reverses a prior year decrement for that class of asset that had been recognised as an expense in which case the increment is recognised as revenue up to the amount of the expense. Revaluation decrements are recognised as an expense except where prior increments are included in the asset revaluation reserve for that class of asset in which case the decrement is taken to the reserve to the extent of the remaining increments. Within the same class of assets, revaluation increments and decrements within the year are offset.

Land under roads

Land under roads acquired after 30 June 2008 is brought to account using the cost method. The Council does not recognise land under roads that it controlled prior to that period in its financial report.

(m) Depreciation and amortisation of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment and intangiblesBuildings, land improvements, plant and equipment, infrastructure, and other assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated over their useful lives to the Council in a manner which reflects consumption of the service potential embodied in those assets. Estimates of remaining useful lives and residual values are made on a regular basis with major asset classes reassessed annually. Depreciation rates and methods are reviewed annually.Where assets have separate identifiable components that are subject to regular replacement, these components are assigned distinct useful lives and residual values and a separate depreciation rate is determined for each component.Straight line depreciation is charged based on the residual useful life as determined each year.Depreciation periods used are listed below and are consistent with the prior year unless otherwise stated.

(e) Fair value measurement

Council measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value where required or permitted by Australian Accounting Standards. AASB 13 Fair value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Australian Accounting Standards.AASB 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value under AASB 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within a fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesLevel 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable: andLevel 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Council has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.In addition, Council determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

(f) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits at call, and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

(n) Repairs and maintenanceRoutine maintenance, repair costs, and minor renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Where the repair relates to the replacement of a component of an asset and the cost exceeds the capitalisation threshold the cost is capitalised and depreciated. The carrying value of the replaced asset is expensed.

(o) Investment propertyInvestment property, comprising freehold office complexes, is held to generate long-term rental yields. Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefit in excess of the originally assessed performance of the asset will flow to the Council. Subsequent to initial recognition at cost, investment property is carried at fair value, determined annually by independent valuers. Changes to fair value are recorded in the comprehensive income statement in the period that they arise. Rental income from the leasing of investment properties is recognised in the comprehensive income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term.

(p) Impairment of assetsAt each reporting date, the Council reviews the carrying value of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the comprehensive income statement, unless the asset is carried at the revalued amount in which case, the impairment loss is recognised directly against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies (cont.)

(q) Trust funds and depositsAmounts received as deposits and retention amounts controlled by Council are recognised as trust fundsuntil they are returned, transferred in accordance with the purpose of the receipt, or forfeited (refer to Note26).

(r) BorrowingsBorrowings are initially measured at fair value, being the cost of the interest bearing liabilities, net oftransaction costs. The measurement basis subsequent to initial recognition depends on whether theCouncil has categorised its interest-bearing liabilities as either financial liabilities designated at fair valuethrough the profit and loss, or financial liabilities at amortised cost. Any difference between the initialrecognised amount and the redemption value is recognised in net result over the period of the borrowingusing the effective interest method.The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the interest bearing liabilities. The Councildetermines the classification of its interest bearing liabilities at initial recognition.

Borrowing costsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except where theyare capitalised as part of a qualifying asset constructed by Council. Except where specific borrowings areobtained for the purpose of specific asset acquisition, the weighted average interest rate applicable toborrowings at balance date, excluding borrowings associated with superannuation, is used to determine theborrowing costs to be capitalised.Borrowing costs include interest on bank overdrafts and interest on borrowings.

(s) Employee costs and benefitsThe calculation of employee costs and benefits includes all relevant on-costs and are calculated as followsat reporting date.

Wages and salaries and annual leaveLiabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulated sickleave expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the provisionfor employee benefits in respect of employee services up to the reporting date, classified as currentliabilities and measured at their nominal values.Liabilities that are not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised inthe provision for employee benefits as current liabilities, measured at the present value of the amountsexpected to be paid when the liabilities are settled using the remuneration rate expected to apply at thetime of settlement.

Long service leaveLiability for long service leave (LSL) is recognised in the provision for employee benefits.Current liability - unconditional LSL is disclosed as a current liability even when the council does not expect to settle the liability within 12 months because it will not have the unconditional right to defer settlement of the entitlement should an employee take leave within 12 months.The components of this current liability are measured at :

- present value - component that is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months.- nominal value - component that is expected to be wholly settled within 12 months.

Classification of employee costsNon-current liability - conditional LSL that has been accrued, where an employee is yet to reach a qualifying term of employment, is disclosed as a non - current liability. There is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the entitlement until the employee has completed the requisite years of service.This non-current LSL liability is measured at present value.

Note 1 Significant accounting policies (cont.)

(t) Leases

Operating leasesLease payments for operating leases are required by the accounting standard to be recognised on a straight line basis, rather than expensed in the years in which they are incurred.

(u) Goods and Services Tax (GST)Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.Cash flows are presented in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

(v) Financial guaranteesFinancial guarantee contracts are not recognised as a liability in the balance sheet unless the lender has exercised their right to call on the guarantee or Council has other reasons to believe that it is probable that the right will be exercised. Details of guarantees that Council has provided, that are not recognised in the balance sheet, are disclosed at Note 35 contingent liabilities and contingent assets.

(w) Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Balance Sheet, but are disclosed by way of a Note and, if quantifiable, are measured at nominal value. Contingent assets and liabilities are presented inclusive of GST receivable or payable respectively.Commitments are not recognised in the Balance Sheet. Commitments are disclosed at their nominal value by way of Note and presented inclusive of the GST payable.

(x) Pending accounting standardsCertain new AAS's have been issued that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2016 reporting period. Council has assessed these pending standards and has identified that no material impact will flow from the application of these standards in future reporting periods.

(y) RoundingUnless otherwise stated, amounts in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Figures in the financial statement may not equate due to rounding.

Notes to the Financial ReportFor the Year Ended 30 June 2016

The budget comparison notes compare Council’s financial plan, expressed through its annual budget, with actual performance. The Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 requires explanation of any material variances. Council has adopted a materiality threshold of the lower of ten percent or one million where further explanation is warranted. Explanations have not been provided for variations below the materiality threshold unless the variance is considered to be material because of its nature.

The budget figures detailed below are those adopted by Council on 23 June 2015. The Budget was based on assumptions that were relevant at the time of adoption of the Budget. Council sets guidelines and parameters for income and expense targets in this budget in order to meet Council’s planning and financial performance targets for both the short and long-term. The budget did not reflect any changes to equity resulting from asset revaluations, as their impacts were not considered predictable.

These notes are prepared to meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 1989 and the Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 .

Depreciation was over budget as a result of asset additions since the 2016 budget was struck.

Variance Ref

Capital grants were over budget by $1.164 million as a result of funding for the Roads to Recovery program exceeding budget by ($612,000) and unbudgeted government funding for the Kororoit Creek trail ($390,000).Monetary contributions were over budget by $1.895 million mainly due to additional open space contributions ($1.17 million) and other urban development contributions ($45,000). Further capital works contributions were received for the Kororoit Creek trail project ($306,000) and Brooklyn EPA improvements ($200,000).

Other income is over budget by $ 3.758 million. After adjusting for $2.843 million in rental income previously classification as user fees, other income is $ 924,000 over budget. This is mainly due to an increase in interest on investments resulting from increased cash held throughout the financial year ($846,000).Materials and services were under budget by $3.5 million, which is largely the result of reclassifying $1.765 million to other expenses. The other $ 1.735 million under expenditure is manly a result of a reduction in professional services and consultants within infrastructure and city services ($498,000), infrastructure and city services contract negotiations and efficiency gains($427,000), community care contracts ($228,000), strategic planning policy service ($183,000), offset against increases for water charges ($490,000) and the Woods Street Art Space ($150,000).

Net loss on disposal of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment was $2.479 million. This mainly relates to Council's committee of management being revoked for land at Point Gellibrand, whilst another land asset was removed as part of Council’s reconciliation of its asset register against title office records.

The reduction in bad and doubtful debts is the result of the write off of uncollectable amounts during the year and a focus on reducing amounts owed to Council.

Borrowing costs were below budget as a result of interest rates on the short term loan facility being lower than budgeted.

Non monetary contributions were $1.085 million and relate to the initial recognition of land assets. Two assets have been included after Council was granted control as committee of management, whilst another land asset was ‘discovered’ as part of Council’s reconciliation of its asset register against title office records.The fair value adjustment for investment properties of $273,000 recognises the increase in the value of Council owned investment properties as part of the land and building revaluation process.

User fees were $3.385 million under budget as a result of transferring rental income to other income ($2.843 million) and payments in lieu of rates to rate income ($518,000).After these adjustments, user fees were only $24,000 below budget with the most significant decreases in community care services ($261,000), roads and drainage fees ($134,000), parking meter income as a result of the free parking trial ($75,000) and family day care ($46,000). The most significant increases above budget were in relation to the grassland offset sites program ($180,000), the recycling education program ($75,000), children’s service ($37,000), food safety ($37,000) and building control ($28,000).

Other expenses were over budget by $1.516 million, which related to the transfer of costs from materials and services.

13 New, Renewal and upgrade expenditure

Drainage is below budget as a result of works at Cole Street ($430,000), Challis Street ($198,000), Primula Avenue ($197,000) and Litter traps ($200,000) not proceeding. This was offset by works at Anne Street Recreational, leisure and community facilities are over budget by $414,000 as a result of additional expenditure on Council fencing ($220,000), Skate BMX facilities ($145,000) carried forward from last year and cricket practice nets ($85,000).Off street car park expenditure is under budget as a result of works at Paisley Park ($301,000) and Truganina Park ($250,000) not proceeding. Offset by additional works at Brooklyn Reserve ($115,000) and Collins Street Altona North ($92,000).The under expenditure of $195,000 is the result of a transfer of costs under the greenhouse street lighting project ($390,000) from capital to operating expense offset by additional expenditure at Merton Street ($86,000).

The budgeted council expenditure on furniture and fittings has been reclassified to other categories.

Information technology is under budget as a result of the transfer to operating expense of some budgeted items.

The reduction in hard book purchases is offset by additional operating expenditure on e-books, licenses and subscription services ($152,000).Roads were over budget as a result of additional works at Douglas Parade ($531,000), Thorpe Street ($305,000),Altona Road($298,000) and various works carried forward in the Stitch in time program ($501,000). This was offset by savings in the Vibrant Villages program ($370,000) and traffic management ($248,000).Footpaths and cycleways were over budget as a result of pathway upgrades at Comben Reserve ($323,000), the Pier Street revitalisation ($153,000) and works carried forward from 2014/15 for the Maddox Road bike path ($120,000).

Variance Ref

Expenditure was over budget as a result of foreshore works at Seaholme ($493,000) and land improvement works at Paisley Park ($178,000).Buildings and heritage buildings were under budget ($ 1.063 million) due to the delayed commencement of works at Newport Community Hub ($693,000), Altona Sports Precinct ($374,000), Bayfit ($154,000) and the Civic Centre ($198,000). Heritage building expenditure was not budgeted separately however, the works at the Williamstown town hall were ($220,000) over budget.

The variations to budget are the result of the above changes and the classification of expenditure to the appropriate category.

Notes to the Financial ReportFor the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Valuation of land and buildings were undertaken by Stephen Davey, AAPI CPV, valuer registration no. 63379 of Opteon Property Group, a qualified independent valuer. The valuation of land and buildings is at fair value, being market value based on highest and best use permitted by relevant land planning provisions. Where land use is restricted through existing planning provisions the valuation is reduced to reflect this limitation. This adjustment is an unobservable input in the valuation. The adjustment has no impact on the comprehensive income statement.

Specialised land is valued at fair value using site values adjusted for englobo (undeveloped and/or unserviced) characteristics, access rights and private interests of other parties and entitlements of infrastructure assets and services. This adjustment is an unobservable input in the valuation. The adjustment has no impact on the comprehensive income statement.

Any significant movements in the unobservable inputs for land and land under roads will have a significant impact on the fair value of these assets.

Details of the Council’s land and buildings and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

Valuation of infrastructure assets has been determined in accordance with a valuation undertaken by the Council's asset management team as at 30 June 2016, supervised by Paris Zenonos B.Eng (Civil) (Hons), based on current replacement cost less accumulated depreciation at the date of valuation. The valuation is at fair value based on replacement cost less accumulated depreciation as at the date of valuation.Details of the Council’s infrastructure and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

At the reporting date, the Council had the following obligations under non-cancellable operating leases for the lease of equipment and land and buildings for use within Council's activities (these obligations are not recognised as liabilities):

Not later than one year 911 934 Later than one year and not later than five years 1,157 1,410 Later than five years - -

2,068 2,344

(b) Operating lease receivables

The Council has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property, consisting of surplus freehold office complexes. These properties held under operating leases have remaining non-cancellable lease terms of between 1 and 40 years. All leases include a CPI based revision of the rental charge annually.

Future minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

Not later than one year 1,778 1,413 Later than one year and not later than five years 4,060 2,959 Later than five years 4,608 4,096

Funding arrangements

Council makes the majority of its employer superannuation contributions in respect of its employees to the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund (the Fund). This Fund has two categories of membership, accumulation and defined benefit, each of which is funded differently. Obligations for contributions to the Fund are recognised as an expense in the Comprehensive Income Statement when they are made or due.

The Fund's accumulation categories, Vision MySuper/Vision Super Saver, receive both employer and employee contributions on a progressive basis. Employer contributions are normally based on a fixed percentage of employee earnings (for the year ended 30 June 2016, this was 9.5% as required under Superannuation Guarantee legislation).

Council does not use defined benefit accounting for its defined benefit obligations under the Fund's Defined Benefit category. This is because the Fund's Defined Benefit category is a pooled multi-employer sponsored plan.

There is no proportional split of the defined benefit liabilities, assets or costs between the participating employers as the defined benefit obligation is a floating obligation between the participating employers and the only time that the aggregate obligation is allocated to specific employers is when a call is made. As a result, the level of participation of Council in the Fund cannot be measured as a percentage compared with other participating employers. Therefore, the Fund Actuary is unable to allocate benefit liabilities, assets and costs between employers for the purposes of AASB

Council makes employer contributions to the Defined Benefit category of the Fund at rates determined by the Trustee on the advice of the Fund Actuary.

As at 30 June 2015, an interim acturial investigation was held as the Fund provides lifetime pensions in the Defined Benefit category. The vested benefit index (VBI) of the Defined Benefit category of which Council is a contributing employer was 105.8%. To determine the VBI, the fund Actuary used the following long-term assumptions:

In the event that the Fund Actuary determines that there is a shortfall based on the above requirement, the Fund’s participating employers (including Council) are required to make an employer contribution to cover the shortfall. Using the agreed methodology, the shortfall amount is apportioned between the participating employers based on the pre-1 July 1993 and post-30 June 1993 service liabilities of the Fund’s Defined Benefit category, together with the employer’s payroll at 30 June 1993 and at the date the shortfall has been calculated.

Vision Super has advised that the estimated VBI at 30 June 2016 was 102.0%. The VBI is to be used as the primary funding indicator. Because the VBI was above 100%, the 2015 interim actuarial investigation determined the Defined Benefit category was in a satisfactory financial position and that no change was necessary to the Defined Benefit category’s funding arrangements from prior years.

On the basis of the results of the 2015 interim actuarial investigation conducted by the Fund Actuary, Council makes employer contributions to the Fund’s Defined Benefit category at rates determined by the Fund’s Trustee. For the year ended 30 June 2016, this rate was 9.5% of members' salaries (9.5% in 2014/2015). This rate will increase in line with any increase to the contribution rate. In addition, Council reimburses the Fund to cover the excess of the benefits paid as a consequence of retrenchment above the funded resignation or retirement benefit.

If the Defined Benefit category is in an unsatisfactory financial position at an actuarial investigation or the Defined Benefit category‘s VBI is below its shortfall limit at any time other than the date of the actuarial investigation, the Defined Benefit category has a shortfall for the purposes of SPS 160 and the Fund is required to put a plan in place so that the shortfall is fully funded within three years of the shortfall occurring. The Fund monitors its VBI on a quarterly basis and the Fund has set its shortfall limit at 97%.

Due to the nature of the contractual obligations between the participating employers and the Fund, and that the Fund includes lifetime pensioners and their reversionary beneficiaries, it is unlikely that the Fund will be wound up. If there is a surplus in the Fund, the surplus cannot be returned to the participating employers. In the event that a participating employer is wound-up, the defined benefit obligations of that employer will be transferred to that employer’s successor.

The Fund’s interim actuarial investigation as at 30 June 2015 identified the following in the defined benefit category of which Council is a contributing employer:

The VBI surplus means that the market value of the fund’s assets supporting the defined benefit obligations exceed the vested benefits that the defined benefit members would have been entitled to if they had all exited on 30 June 2015. The total service liability surplus means that the current value of the assets in the Fund’s Defined Benefit category plus expected future contributions exceeds the value of expected future benefits and expenses. Council was notified of the 30 June 2015 VBI during August 2015.

The expected contributions to be paid to the Defined Benefit category of Vision Super for the year ending 30 June 2017 is $390,000.

Council has obligations under a defined benefit superannuation scheme that may result in the need to make additional contributions to the scheme, matters relating to this potential obligation are outlined in Note 34. As a result of the volatility in financial markets the likelihood of making such contributions in future periods exists. At this point in time it is not known if additional contributions will be required, their timing or potential amount.

The amount disclosed for financial guarantee in this note is the nominal amount of the underlying loan that is guaranteed by the Council, not the fair value of the financial guarantee.

Note 36

(b) Market risk

Interest rate risk

- diversification of investment product; - monitoring of return on investment; and - benchmarking of returns and comparison with budget.

Interest rate movements have not been sufficiently significant during the year to have an impact on the Council's year end result.

(c) Credit risk

- council have a policy for establishing credit limits for the entities Council deal with; - council may require collateral where appropriate; and - council only invest surplus funds with financial institutions which have a recognised credit rating specified in council's investment policy.

There are no material financial assets which are individually determined to be impaired.

(d) Liquidity risk

To help reduce these risks Council: - have a liquidity policy which targets a minimum and average level of cash and cash equivalents to be maintained; - have readily accessible standby facilities and other funding arrangements in place; - have a liquidity portfolio structure that requires surplus funds to be invested within various bands of liquid instruments; - monitor budget to actual performance on a regular basis; and - set limits on borrowings relating to the percentage of loans to rate revenue and percentage of loan principal repayments to rate revenue.

Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of council financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Council's exposure to market risk is primarily through interest rate risk with only insignificant exposure to other price risks and no exposure to foreign currency risk.

Notes to the Financial ReportFor the Year Ended 30 June 2016

Financial instruments(a) Objectives and policiesThe Council's principal financial instruments comprise cash assets, term deposits, receivables (excluding statutory receivables), payables (excluding statutory payables) and bank borrowings. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument is disclosed in Note 1 of the financial statements. Risk management is carried out by senior management under policies approved by the Council. These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure to Council and appropriate procedures, controls and risk minimisation.

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Council's interest rate liability risk arises primarily from long term loans and borrowings at fixed rates which exposes council to fair value interest rate risk / Council does not hold any interest bearing financial instruments that are measured at fair value, and therefore has no exposure to fair value interest rate risk. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Council has minimal exposure to cash flow interest rate risk through its cash and deposits that are at floating rates. Investment of surplus funds is made with approved financial institutions under the Local Government Act 1989 . Council manages interest rate risk by adopting an investment policy that ensures:

There has been no significant change in the Council's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes for managing interest rate risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument and cause Council to make a financial loss. Council have exposure to credit risk on some financial assets included in the balance sheet. To help manage this risk:

Receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across the ratepayer, business and government sectors. Credit risk associated with the Council's financial assets is minimal because the main debtor is secured by a charge over the rateable property.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. Council does not hold any collateral.

Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of council's operational liquidity requirements it will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction when required or will be forced to sell a financial asset at below value or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.

The Council's maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the carrying amounts of financial liabilities as disclosed on the face of the balance sheet and the amounts related to financial guarantees disclosed in Note 35, and is deemed insignificant based on prior periods' data and current assessment of risk.

There has been no significant change in Council's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes for managing liquidity risk or the methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Council may also be subject to credit risk for transactions which are not included in the balance sheet, such as when Council provide a guarantee for another party. Details of our contingent liabilities are disclosed in Note 35.

With the exception of borrowings, all financial liabilities are expected to be settled within normal terms of trade. Details of the maturity profile for borrowings are disclosed at Note 29.

Taking into account past performance, future expectations, economic forecasts, and management's knowledge and experience of the financial markets, Council believes the following movements are 'reasonably possible' over the next 12 months:

These movements will not have a material impact on the valuation of Council's financial assets and liabilities, nor will they have a material impact on the results of Council's operations.

The increased ratio is consistent with an increased

increasing to cover future loan principal repayments, waste requirements (both of which

are held in reserve) and growing future creditor and

employee leave commitments. In addition, savings in

operational and capital works are being transferred to an

infrastructure reserve to fund future years capital works

shortfalls. Therefore increasing cash reserves are

not to be seen as an opportunity to increase

spending.

Other InformationFor the year ended 30 June 2016

Council is required to prepare and include a performance statement within its annual report. The performance statement includes the results of the prescribed sustainable capacity, service performance and financial performance indicators and measures together with a description of the municipal district and an explanation of material variations in the results. This statement has been prepared to meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 1989 and Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014.

Where applicable the results in the performance statement have been prepared on accounting bases consistent with those reported in the Financial Statements. The other results are based on information drawn from Council information systems or from third parties (e.g. Australian Bureau of Statistics).

The performance statement presents the actual results for the current year and for the prescribed financial performance indicators and measures, the results forecast by the Council’s strategic resource plan. The Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 requires explanation of any material variations in the results contained in the performance statement. Council has adopted materiality thresholds relevant to each indicator and measure and explanations have not been provided for variations below the materiality thresholds unless the variance is considered to be material because of its nature.

The forecast figures included in the performance statement are those adopted by Council in its strategic resource plan on 23 June 2015 and which forms part of the council plan. The strategic resource plan includes estimates based on key assumptions about the future that were relevant at the time of adoption and aimed at achieving sustainability over the long term. Detailed information on the actual financial results is contained in the General Purpose Financial Statements. The strategic resource plan can be obtained by contacting Council.
