Banyule City Council Budget 2015/2016
Page 1
Mayor’s Introduction We are pleased to release the Banyule City Council Budget for 2015/2016. This is the third budget of this Council’s four-year term and we continue to deliver on our commitment to strengthen the long-term sustainability of Banyule. I would like to thank all the residents, businesses, community groups and organisations that helped shape the budget by giving us valuable feedback throughout the year. We place great importance on looking to improve our community consultation and engagement to ensure you can have your say. What continues to be emphasised is the need for Council to maintain its diverse range of services and renew infrastructure, such as roads, drainage and recreational facilities. This budget has been developed through a rigorous process of reviews. At the forefront of our consideration is to ensure we continue to invest in renewing and maintaining our valuable infrastructure while we keep providing relevant services to the community. In order to achieve these objectives it will be necessary to increase the total amount raised from general Council rates by 4.95%. This figure plus our municipal charge will raise a total of $89.56 million for 2015/2016 to maintain existing service levels, fund a number of new initiatives and continue to allocate additional funds to renew the City’s infrastructure. The rate increase has been reduced significantly from the level foreshadowed in Council's Strategic Resource Plan adopted in the previous year; this is despite a number of significant budget impacts including continued cost shifting from State and Federal Governments and a freeze in indexation of the Victoria Grants Commission funding. We need to carefully monitor our economic sustainability in upcoming years particularly in the light of likely rate capping being imposed on local government from the 2016-2017 financial year onwards. Council will clearly adhere to what is legislated but foreshadows for our community the pressure this is likely to bring to bear on us to maintain current service levels and our capital works program. As always, we will constantly strive to introduce efficiencies across all areas of expenditure to allow Council to maintain its service and robust capital plan. We will continue to look at innovative solutions to supplement our income streams to reduce the rating burden. The capital expenditure plan over the next four years is expected to be $143.72 million ($42.76 million in 2015/2016). Council will invest $26.23 million on renewal projects in 2015/2016. Highlights of the Capital Works program for 2015/2016 include:
Buildings ($25.59 million), included in this spend for 2015/2016 is the building of offices for Council administration in Greensborough. This two-year project is the completion of the Council’s Civic Precinct development in Greensborough, with funding coming from the sale of commercial properties in the Greensborough area. The office also contains extensive community meeting facilities, currently lacking in the Greensborough area. The Ivanhoe Civic Centre will be redeveloped, with options for a new library in the space while retaining the Council Chambers.
Council endeavours to meet the community’s sporting and recreational needs with major works funding being allocated for the completion of pavilion and associated works at Cartledge Reserve, Ivanhoe Park and Telfer Reserve. In addition, Council reconfirms its commitment to a future stadium development in the south of the City to replace the
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 2
Banksia stadium courts lost to the community. Council awaits a significant funding commitment from the State Government to ensure the progression of an appropriate facility.
We will be investing $5.51 million in roads, streets, bridges and drainage. This will include reconstructions, roads to recovery projects, resheeting, bicycle, footpath and public transport infrastructure improvements.
Council will continue to improve its parks and playgrounds with an allocation of $3.70 million, including upgrading playground equipment, fencing, pathways, and open space facilities.
In addition to the above key planned capital investments a number of new initiatives are also proposed to commence in 2015/2016:
Initial investment into the development of a community hub at a new Ivanhoe Library and early learning hub at Sherbourne Road. A solar panel installation program on key Council assets producing approximately 180 kWh of electricity per annum.
Whilst Council continues to deliver quality services and investment in capital infrastructure, the associated costs to maintain and replace these vital assets and resources continue. Expenditure has been allocated across various initiatives to ensure we meet the expectations of the community to manage, educate and engage. Initiatives that we have continued to invest in include stormwater management, bushland maintenance, environment, transport and direct community initiatives. The community initiatives cover programs such as the Banyule Youth Summit, Youth Foundation 3081 and post neighbourhood renewal, Banyule Housing Support Group, and Movies on the Move. Over the past few years Council has made a significant investment in renewing ageing infrastructure that will help safeguard our future. In 2015/2016, capital expenditure on asset renewal will exceed 61% of total capital expenditure for the year; and 65% over the four years as per the Strategic Resource Plan. By 2018/2019, infrastructure, property, plant and equipment under the care of Council will reach $1.44 billion. It is safe to say Council’s objectives to maintain its assets and deliver quality services will become more difficult in a rate capping environment. However, in the face of ongoing sustainability challenges we do remain committed to ensure our assets remain in good condition for future generations and that our levels of service remain high. We also continue our focus on strong financial management and working more efficiently. Along with advocating for additional funding from other levels of government, this all helps to reduce operating costs and find savings for ratepayers. This budget continues to build on making Banyule a better place to live, work, play and raise a family. It is a clear blueprint that brings overwhelming benefits to the community now and into the future.

Chief Executive Officer’s summary Thank you for taking the time to read the Banyule Council’s Budget for 2015/2016. The budget is an important element within the Council’s planning framework and aligns with the directives of the City Plan (2013-2017). It describes the ongoing financial support necessary to achieve the goals and objectives of the City Plan. The budget provides a clear strategic direction to achieve the long- term financial sustainability for Banyule while ensuring we continue to deliver relevant services in response to the community’s expressed needs. Over the last year, we have been actively engaging with and listening to the community at local events, and through household and online surveys. To ensure we heard from a variety of voices, our consultation and research used in the development of the Year 3 City Plan also incorporated information gathered from many of our initiatives, including the Early Years 100 Faces, Banyule Youth Summit, Seniors Morning Tea, Transport Forum and Urban Forest Strategic Plan. We use all of this valuable feedback to inform our work and shape Council’s direction, along with things such as legislative changes, reviews of service standards, budget information and industry trends. In the next 12 months Victorian councils will face a major challenge. The State Government has announced that it will cap annual council rate increases from the 2016/2017 financial year in an effort to contain the cost of living in Victoria. For the long-term financial sustainability of Council we must assess how we continue to fund our core services. Despite this challenge, Council under its proposed four-year strategic plan, will continue to maintain a strong financial position. Key financial sustainability principles are incorporated into the 2015/2016 Budget, these include improving administration and operating efficiencies, and being more prudent in finding savings. One of our major long-term projects starting to take shape is the construction of new Council offices and community facilities above WaterMarc. In 2003, Council adopted the Greensborough Principal Activity Centre - Local Structure Plan. This Plan aimed to strengthen and reinforce the civic role and functions of the activity centre and promoted the development of a civic precinct which included the location and use of Council offices in Greensborough. We foreshadowed the building of this office in 2007 and purposely designed WaterMarc, which opened in 2012, so that the offices and community facilities could be built on top of it at a later stage. The new building will bring financial and environmental savings, and increased productivity as Council staff collocate from three separate offices across Banyule – at Ivanhoe, Rosanna and Greensborough – into one purpose built, environmentally sustainable building. The proposed collocation will further enable Council to implement the objectives of the Ivanhoe Structure Plan (Civic Precinct Master Plan) including a new library in the Ivanhoe Office together with Council Chambers and a customer service centre. With the impending arrival of a rate capped environment, Council is planning to address the new demands this will place on Banyule. We will take a structured approach looking at actions that will raise alternate revenue sources and further improve productivity. This is especially important when dealing with reduced funding from State and Federal governments and increased cost shifting. Council continues to advocate for grants to improve our City and help minimise rates. We will continue to work with the community to lobby on local issues outside of our responsibility and seek beneficial resolutions.

Our budget decisions have considered the Victorian Auditor-General’s annual sustainability assessment ratios for underlying result, liquidity, indebtedness, self-financing, capital replacement and renewal gap. Council, when applying these ratios, continues to manage responsibly and efficiently. We have devised a budget that will deliver significant capital works over the next four years. Council’s key focus areas and wide ranging initiatives include:
Enhancing and protecting our open spaces, parklands and street trees
Maintaining and upgrading roads, buildings, drains and footpaths
Delivering social services and support programs to the community
Commencing construction of One Flintoff (Council’s future consolidated office in Greensborough)
Improving our sporting facilities across the municipality
Implementing environmentally friendly practices, such as installing solar power on Council buildings, and reducing greenhouse emissions by 3,000 tonnes and Council’s streetlight costs by almost $350,000 per year from our energy efficient streetlight replacement program
Encouraging diverse and inclusive communities
Providing quality festivals, events and activities
Over the next four years Council is taking action to ensure we commit to:
Reviewing all services that we undertake across the Council Continuing that we produce the very best in terms of quality and Continuing that the services and programs we deliver are those the community really require and are relevant
I am confident that, with the full support of Councillors and staff and the continuing valuable contribution from the community, we will meet the changing needs of the community. I look forward to the delivery of the 2015/2016 Budget which seeks to achieve the objectives and key directions of the City Plan (2013-2017) that help build a better Banyule.

The expected operating result for the 2015/2016 year is a surplus of $3.87 million, which is a decrease of $2.38 million from 2014/2015 forecast operating result. The decline in operating result is due mainly to a number of large strategic property sales that occurred in the 2014/2015 year and which resulted in an $11.82 net gain on disposal of assets and inflated the operating result.

The net cost of services delivered to the community for the 2015/2016 year is expected to be $67.27million which excludes depreciation and unallocated corporate cost. A key influencing factor in the development of the 2015/2016 budget has been the most recent results of the community satisfaction survey. The survey results identified a relatively high level of community satisfaction and Council has built a budget which maintains its quality services to the community. 4.

After which the cash position will decline to fund the capital works program over the next four years. Funding to be utilised is from the recent purchases of school sites which have inflated the current cash and cash equivalents holding. In addition to the above cash holdings the Council also has $18millon in financial assets. The movement in cash and cash equivalents is in line with Council's Strategic Resource Plan.

Strategic Resource Budget
At present, Council is similar to most municipalities in that it is presently unable to fully fund asset renewal requirements as identified in the asset management plans. The renewal funding provided in 2015/2016 is $23.97million (excludes projects which have been carried forward from the prior year). The capital works program for the 2015/2016 year is expected to be $45.55 million excluding any carry forward projects from the 2014/2015 financial year. This $45.55 million can be broken into the following components, $1.48 million from external grants; $1.61 million from community contributions and Special Charges; $28.96 million from Council's reserves and $13.56 million from Council's revenue (for further details refer to Appendix C and Section 6). Each year a range of new capital assets are created for new facilities to meet community expectations, ranging from traffic management works to shopping centre streetscapes, parks and new or upgraded buildings. These new assets will also require renewal in future years thus adding to the asset renewal needs of the City. The asset management plans are currently being reviewed. The information obtained from these plans will form the basis of the development of the forward works plan for the next 10 years and will strongly influence the make-up of future capital budgets. The capital expenditure program has been set and prioritised based on a rigorous process of consultation that has enabled Council to assess needs and develop sound business cases for each project. The 2015/2016 capital works program includes a number of major building projects including the development of Council's Corporate Headquarters above the existing WaterMarc building, which will centralise operational staff. (Appendix C has more details). The graph in Section 10.2 shows the required and actual asset renewal over the life of the current Strategic Resource Plan and the renewal backlog.

Page 8
The asset renewal program has been increased to $23.97million in the 2015/2016 year due to the decision to commence with the Corporate Office Project in Grensbourough, this investment will eliminate the backlog and bring the renewal spending back to surplus in 2015/2016. However, from 2017/2018 the backlog gap increases as a direct impact of the completion of the office renew project. 6. Financial position 90.00 80.00

The financial position is expected to improve with net assets continuing to grow over the four years. Working capital will reduce by $11.63 million to $63.59million as at 30 June 2016, mainly due to the use of cash reserves to fund the capital works program. 7. Financial sustainability

A high level Strategic Resource Plan for the years 2015-2019 has been developed to assist Council in adopting a budget within a longer term prudent financial framework. The key objective of the Plan is financial sustainability in the medium to long term, while still achieving the Council’s strategic objectives as specified in the Council Plan. The underlying result, which is a measure of financial sustainability, shows a surplus over the four year period. Year 2016/2017 is at break-even and includes an efficiency dividend of $654,274. Council is

The above chart provides an indication of how Council allocates its expenditure across the main services that it delivers. It shows how much is allocated to each service area for every $100 that Council spends. It does not take into account the source of funding for each area of expenditure. This budget has been developed through a rigorous process of consultation and review and management endorses it as financially responsible. More detailed budget information is available throughout this document.

Budget processes This section lists the budget processes undertaken in order to present the budget for adoption in accordance with the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) and Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 (the Regulations). Under the Act, Council is required to prepare and adopt an annual budget for each financial year. The budget is required to include certain information about the rates and charges that Council intends to levy as well as a range of other information required by Regulations which support the Act. More importantly, Banyule Council strives to fully inform its community as to the important decisions that are being made on the community’s behalf, about its financial and other resources. This budget is for the year 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. It includes financial statements being a Comprehensive Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Capital Works. These statements have been prepared for the year ending 30 June 2016 and are consistent with the annual financial statements that are prepared in accordance with relevant Australian Accounting Standards. The budget also includes information about the human resources required to deliver our services and other financial information Council uses to make informed decisions for its financial future. In advance of preparing the budget, Officers first review and update Council's long term financial projections. Financial projections for at least four years are ultimately included in Council's Strategic Resource Plan, which is the key medium-term financial plan produced by Council on a rolling basis for consideration. The preparation of the budget, within this broader context, begins with the preparing of the operating and capital components of the annual budget during with the first consideration beginning in December 2014 and continuing through January, February and March 2015. A draft consolidated budget is then prepared and various iterations are considered by Council at informal briefings during February and March. This iterative process allows Councillors to consider changes in areas of the budget and include changes based on ongoing and extensive information received from the community and other contextual drivers. A ‘proposed’ budget is prepared in accordance with the Act and is submitted to Council in May for ’in principle’ approval. Council is then required to give ’public notice’ that it intends to ’adopt’ the budget. It must give 28 days notice of its intention to adopt the proposed budget and make the budget available for inspection at its offices and on its website. A person has a right to make a submission on any proposal contained in the budget and any submission must be considered before the final adoption of the budget by Council. Banyule tries to alert its community as to the development of both the Budget and the City Plan through multiple forms of communication. This engagement helps guide the strategic intent of the budget as early as practicable in the process so our community can have an active say in what is being developed. It also tests the current strategy with our community as to its voracity and fit. Specifically, in order to assist interested persons to understand the budget and make a submission if they wish, Council officers undertake a community engagement process including public information sessions, focus groups and engagement exercises.
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 12
The final step is for Council to adopt the budget after receiving and considering any formal submissions to the process from interested parties. Banyule endeavours to have its Budget adopted by the 30th of June each year in order to have all our financial resources in place for our ensuing year of work for the community. The table below outlines the process that is undertaken to reach the adoption of the budget: Budget process 2015/2016

Overview 1. Linkage to the City Plan (Council Plan) The Annual Budget is developed within Council’s overall strategic planning framework. This framework guides the Council with information that aids in identifying community needs and aspirations over the long-term, converting these into medium (Council Plan) and short-term (Annual Budget) objectives, key directions, initiatives, activities and allocates resources in a considered manner with this information. Accountability to our community is ensured through Audited Financial and Performance Statements (containing our key performance indicators) and our statutory annual report to the community. Essential in the planning and application of Council’s resources is the critical link to the community. Banyule undertakes an ongoing and iterative process of engagement across all parts of our community. We use community information along with key demographic data, due reference to our legislative context and industry benchmarks to assess the appropriate level of service for our community. We test these services against both national and international standards of quality, efficiency and effectiveness. There are direct and obvious links between the broad range of information we gather and the activities we fund to meet our strategic intent. We review this annually and re-assess our activities and areas of emphasis for our community on this basis. A four year City Plan 2013-2017 has been developed through extensive community engagement and feedback. The foundation of this work has led Council to include significant areas of emphasis in its planning, including:
Continuing a strong focus on delivering quality, value for money services Ensuring our financial sustainability and making sure we continue to deliver our services to the levels expected.
Improving communication with our community so we are better informed as to things that matter.
The building of a strong and vibrant community
Developing local activity centres in an appropriate and sustainable way.
Making land-use planning more consistent and see that it improves local neighbourhood character
Advocating to other levels of government on important community issues, even where it is not Council’s direct delivery role, and ensuring that this is done in the strongest terms to affect change for the betterment of Banyule. Identifying opportunities that bring social and economic benefits to the community
Ensuring comprehensive transport planning and advocacy on transport and congestion issues.

Each year Council reconsiders the areas of emphasis outlined for its four year plan. An overview of our consultation approach We are committed to engaging with and listening to our Community and using this feedback to inform our work. Community feedback, along with things such as legislative changes, reviews of service standards, budget information and industry trends all contribute to shaping Council’s direction. Our four year City Plan 2013-2017 was developed in 2013 after extensive community consultation. Each year we review and modify the City Plan. Accordingly, we design our consultation approach so that we can include community feedback into our City Plan review process. Consultation for Year 3 of the City Plan This year’s community consultation has been fed into the Year 3 City Plan review process. We had separate surveys for each of our four key City Plan objectives (the fifth objective of ‘Performance’ mainly relates to the internal functions of Council). We highlighted examples of what has been achieved, asked for feedback about whether people thought Council was on track and asked for suggestions for improvement. Consultation and Research The City Plan consultation survey provides just one way in which people can have their say about Council’s services. We use a broad range of consultation and data sources to inform the development of the City Plan. This means that we can hear from and represent a broader range of people’s views. Council welcomes and encourages community feedback and people can share their views at any time. Community feedback can be made via a provided return paid postcard, letter, telephone, website or email. Customer requests are a key source of information to assist in improving our services. We are committed to providing excellence in customer service and communications, to ensure our community and stakeholders have access to quality information about Council services, activities, processes and systems. Council also delivers an ‘Out & About’ program to foster better links and information flow with the community. Under this program, members of the customer service team (supported by service unit staff) attend community centres and events to promote Council and community programs and services, as well as educate the community on how to best access the services and opportunities available to them. This program is very successful and has a particular focus on groups who have difficulty in accessing Council information or services, for example senior citizens groups. As well as considering individual community views we consider a range of other consultation information that informs our planning. Council has appointed specific Advisory Committees which provide strategic advice to Council that represents the views of particular groups in the community. We refer to and analyse demographic data that assists us to understand how our community is changing and to plan for appropriate services. All of this information, combined with things such as legislative changes, reviews of service standards, budget information and industry trends, help to shape the updated City Plan. Further details of how we consult and engage our community are included in the City Plan.

The information we gather and the feedback we receive is incorporated into the Draft City Plan 2013 – 2017 (Year 3) and reflected in the community consultation results as follows:
Council’s Draft City Plan 2013-2017 (Year 3) We have included proposed key initiatives to provide clear and practical examples of the intent of Council’s strategic directions and the link to community feedback. This allows our community to comment in detail on whether Council has fairly represented the priorities and needs of its community.
Community Consultation Results (What You Said! documents) This group of documents includes a summary of the approaches Council used to consult and engage with the local community, and four reports detailing the communities’ feedback and examples of how Council is addressing community feedback under the headings of Place; Planet; People; and Participation. These documents assist the community to see Council’s response to the themes they raised by showing links with the Draft City Plan 2013–2017 (Year 3).
The themes and issues presented within the areas of People, Planet, Place and Participation are as follows: People Themes:

Engaging meaningfully – how Council listens and engages with Banyule’s diverse community
The full details of community themes and initial responses can be found at http://www.banyule.vic.gov.au In addition to these themes developed with our community, Council is committed to strong governance and efficiency. The areas of emphasis are included with our Performance Objective. These themes are more focused on the internal functions of Council to ensure the right outcomes for our community. Performance Themes The following are themes related to the City Plan’s Performance objective, based on analysis of the feedback received through the various consultation and research processes:
Efficiency Effectiveness Best Value quality for our services Prudential financial management Secure information Stable industrial environment Transparency Accountability.
These views have been considered to develop key initiatives for 2015/16 - for our City Plan 2013-2017 (Year 3) and Budget 2015/2016. The key initiatives are included to provide clear and practical examples of the intent of Council’s strategic directions and the link to community feedback. The Strategic Resource Plan The Strategic Resource Plan outlines how Council will manage our financial and non-financial resources over the next four years to achieve our strategic objectives. The Strategic Resource Plan consists of the following:
The ‘Performance – Use our resources wisely’ objective. This includes key directions for achieving the objective, and focus areas for the next four years
The ‘Management of our Human Resources’ section, which includes statements describing the human resources required for the next four years
The Financial Resources section, which includes information on financial position, financial statements and commentary on these.
The plan also takes into account services and initiatives contained in plans adopted by Council, as well as other information prescribed by the regulations. The Strategic Resource Plan is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act 1989 and the Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014, which commenced operation on 18 April 2014.This sits well with Banyule’s objective of ‘Performance – Use our resources wisely’.
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 19
‘Performance’ is about managing our resources wisely, providing organisational support services, strategic planning and risk management. We are charged with the stewardship of the resources of the municipality. The community expects that these resources will be managed in a responsible, sustainable and accountable way. Our operations are based on responsible management, risk mitigation, strong customer service, and continuous improvement. We value our staff and recognise the integral role they play in the provision of Best Value services to our community. We recognise that it is critical for us to protect and develop our non-financial resources to meet the needs of our community. These non-financial resources include: human resource management and organisational development; knowledge management and information services; and asset management stewardship. We also undertake a number of internal planning roles to ensure we maintain the appropriate strategic direction of our services. In addition, our ‘Performance’ objective is underpinned by an extensive policy context and strategic framework based on the following:
The Local Government Act 1989 - The LG Act includes requirements around the Council Plan, the Strategic Resource Plan, the Budget, statutory reporting requirements and Best Value
Our legal responsibilities as a business entity and employer - to adhere to all employer related legislation Our Banyule Management System, which incorporates a certification program against three key National and International Standards in Quality, Occupational Health and Safety and Environmental Management. A number of key supporting plans and internal policies that provide direction in important support function areas, such as information management, communications, human resources, records management financial management, procurement and asset management.
The Strategic Resource Plan describes how we manage our financial resources in a sustainable manner. Prudent management enables our staffing, physical resources and community services to be maintained in a way that meets our community’s current and future needs. This includes developing sustainable income streams and financial independence, and rates that support the services and infrastructure for our community. Our Rating Context Our commitment to managing our resources wisely will be achieved by the following key directions: 5.1
Develop and deliver best value services and facilities
5.2
Provide responsible financial management and business planning processes
5.3
Enable good governance and accountability with minimal risk
5.4
Create a productive and engaged workforce
5.5
Maintain and strengthen corporate information and innovation

Council has set a rate in this budget which clearly reflects the community’s wishes around service quality and level. The balance between fairness, equity and financial security has been carefully considered. Our Rating Strategy is used to ensure that the Local Government Act’s rating objectives of ‘equity and efficiency’ are achieved. It is important that Banyule City Council has a Rating Strategy in place that is transparent to the community and reviewed annually as part of the budget process. Council has set a rate in the budget which clearly reflects the community’s wishes around service quality and level. The balance between fairness, equity and financial security has been carefully considered. The rating parameters set for the strategic outlook period through to 2019 are indicated currently on the basis of a 2.5% rate increase years 2 to 4. This indicative rate is predicated on a rate capping environment and not indicative of maintaining all Council’s services at their current level. Banyule will revisit these figures when further information is received from the State Government on the extent of rate capping, this will be then matched with the community’s desire to maintain current service levels versus a reduced rate environment. Land is a finite resource in Banyule. Our Council is committed to ensuring that the effective use of land resources benefits the whole community, as each land holding contributes to the shared infrastructure and services of Council. As such, Council differentially rates its vacant commercial and residential land to ensure an inequity in the shared contribution to infrastructure is not created through the underdevelopment of vacant land. We also strive to encourage the best use development of land. Banyule values appropriate commercial and industrial development. However, we also acknowledge an increased impact on our shared infrastructure by these developments. We choose to differentially rate these properties to ensure an equitable outcome to infrastructure costs across our community. We understand the shared value to our community of cultural and recreational lands. Council supports and encourages the development of this shared benefit by rating these properties at a lower level. We update the Strategic Resource Plan annually.

Planning and accountability framework
Local Government Planning and Accountability Framework Banyule City Council adheres to the Local Government Planning and Reporting Better Practice Guide in the development of its strategic planning process: “Statutory requirements The Planning and Accountability Framework is found in part 6 of the Act and in the regulations. The legislation requires councils to prepare the following documents:
a council plan within the period of six months after each general election or by 30 June, whichever is later
a strategic resource plan for a period of at least four years and include this in the council plan
a budget for each financial year an annual report in respect of each financial year.
The following diagram shows the relationships between the key planning and reporting documents that make up the planning and accountability framework for local government. It also shows that there are opportunities for community and stakeholder input and feedback at each stage of the planning and reporting cycle. This is important to ensure accountability to residents and ratepayers. Planning and Accountability Framework Figure 1 – Planning and Accountability Framework

Our City Plan’s Relationship with the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan The City Plan and the Banyule People: Health and Wellbeing Policy & Strategy meet Banyule’s obligation for the provision of a Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan under the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. This City Plan is used as a vehicle for the strategic planning of the health and wellbeing of our community from Council’s responsibility perspective. The City Plan is reviewed on annual basis with a further lens relating to the health and wellbeing outcomes of our community. This is done to ensure compliance under the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 and to help improve health outcomes. This work of Council occurs in many forms, from the upkeep of parks to the delivery of targeted programs, from the health of babies to immunisation of our community against disease. The annual action plan for the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan is based from actions across the Organisation, within Council’s annual business plan, supporting plans, and service unit plans. Council uses these actions to achieve the strategic outcomes for our community intended for the betterment of our community’s health and wellbeing. These actions outcomes are reported separately to the, Victorian Department of Health & Human Services.

2.1 Strategic Objective 1 PEOPLE: COMMUNITY STRENGTHENING AND SUPPORT – Support and strengthen the health and wellbeing of the Banyule community. ‘People’ is about our desire for optimal health, better living conditions and improved quality of life.

Wellbeing is fundamental to quality of life, quality of human relationships and the capacity to participate in education, work, recreation and the community. We are committed to improving the health of our community and identifying and minimising threats to public health. This is a shared responsibility for which we have delegated legislative responsibility, and we undertake this in conjunction with other agencies and partners, such as the Department of Health & Human Services, with whom we work closely. We will support health and community wellbeing through the following key directions: 1.1 Promote and support health and wellbeing 1.2 Provide services for people at important life stages 1.3 Develop and promote safety and resilience in our community 1.4 Celebrate and promote Banyule’s diversity and heritage 1.5 Support people to achieve their economic potential 1.6 Plan and prepare for emergency events.

Banyule’s commitment to participation will be achieved by the following key directions: 4.1 Engage meaningfully with our community 4.2 Encourage diverse and inclusive community participation 4.3 Advocate on behalf of our community 4.4 Provide outstanding communications and customer service To achieve our objective of Participation - Community Involvement in Community Life, we will continue to plan, deliver and improve high quality, cost effective, accessible and responsive services.

Notes and Glossary of Terms for the Indicators: CSI – Community satisfaction index scores measured by Victorian Local Government Community Satisfaction Survey (CSS), co-ordinated by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (formerly Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure) Inner Group:- Inner Melbourne Metropolitan Group (Inner Group) of councils Banyule’s CSI indicators and targets are based on ‘performance’ measures. Community Satisfaction Index (CSI) scores are commonly used in the market research industry to represent the extent of customer satisfaction. LGPRF – Local Government Performance Reporting Framework indicators: - Key measures as part of the Local Government Performance Reporting Framework – these include indicators and measures of service performance, financial performance and sustainable capacity, along with a checklist of 24 governance and management requirements. - In April 2014, legislation was introduced to include the requirement for Councils to report against the Local Government Performance Reporting Framework (LGPRF). - The Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 support the operation of the new planning and reporting framework for Councils under the Local Government Amendment (Performance Reporting and Accountability) Act 2014. - Banyule City Council adheres to the ‘Local Government Better Practice Guide 2014-2015 Performance Reporting Framework Indicator Workbook’ (LGV Guide - LGPRF Indicator Workbook) in the implementation of the LGPRF indicators process. - The list of indicators included in the State Government’s LGPRF is included in Council’s Budget 2014-2015 document (and draft Budget 2015-2016). The first set of results will be reported in Council’s Annual Report 2014-2015, in line with the legislative requirements. Council will review these and adjust targets and indicators as appropriate on an annual basis. - Council will continue to work with the State Government and Local Government industry sector in the further development and implementation of the LGPRF. LGPRF GMC – LGPRF Governance and Management Checklist The indicators are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure continued alignment with Council’s objectives and priorities, and are subject to change. They are also reviewed in line with Banyule’s ongoing planning process, and through Banyule’s involvement with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (formerly Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure) process to further develop the reporting framework for the local government sector. 2.6

3. Budget influences This section sets out the key budget influences arising from the internal and external environment within which the Council operates. 3.1 Snapshot of Banyule City Council This section sets out demographic information about the municipality which influences budgets for various services. Banyule City Council Banyule City Council was formed in 1994 and comprises 21 suburbs that lie between 7 and 21 kilometres north-east of central Melbourne. In total it covers an area of approximately 63 square kilometres. Population Banyule’s estimated resident population for 2014 is 125,503, forecast to grow to 139,740 residents by 2031. Age Groups Banyule has an older age profile compared to Greater Melbourne. Older residents aged 60+ years make up 21.7% of Banyule’s population compared to 18.2% of the population in Greater Melbourne. From 2006 to 2011, the largest growth in Banyule occurred in the following age groups:
Elderly, aged 85+ years (22%) Empty nesters and retirees, aged 60-69 years (19%) Newborns and pre-schoolers, aged 0-4 years (13%).
Cultural diversity Banyule is a culturally and linguistically diverse municipality. Residents come from over 140 countries and speak around 120 different languages at home. An increasing number of Banyule residents are born overseas (22.1% in 2011, up from 19.7% in 2006), a trend that mirrors the increasing diversity in Greater Melbourne. The main overseas countries of birth for Banyule residents are: United Kingdom, Italy, China and India. The number of residents from European countries is slowly declining while the number from Asian countries is increasing. In the 2011 Census, there were 619 people of Indigenous Australian origin, comprising 0.5% of the population – a similar proportion to Greater Melbourne (0.5%). (Note: The ATSI community is typically under-represented in Census data, so the actual population may be higher.) Between 2006 and 2011, Banyule experienced a significant shift in cultural and linguistic diversity. There were (4,471) fewer residents with an Australian ancestral background. Ancestral groups with the largest increase in numbers include English (+2,855), Chinese (+1,506), and Scottish (+1,361). Residents of Indian ancestry almost doubled in number (from 1,148 in 2006 to 2,156 in 2011), and those with Somali ancestry increased significantly as a proportion of their total population size (from 564 in 2006 to 864 in 2011.
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 97
Nearly 20% of residents speak a language other than English at home, up from 17% in 2006. The main languages spoken are: Italian, Greek, Mandarin, Cantonese and Arabic. Between 2006 and 2011, languages that experienced the most growth were Mandarin, Somali, Hindi and Punjabi. Housing There are 48,124 private dwellings in Banyule. The overwhelming majority are separate houses (80.1%), followed by medium density dwellings (18.7%). Between 2006 and 2011, the total number of dwellings increased by 1,918 (+4.1%) to 48,201. The average household size is marginally smaller in Banyule than in Greater Melbourne (2.56 persons per household compared to 2.62). Analysis of the housing tenure of Banyule households compared to Greater Melbourne shows Banyule has a larger proportion of households that own their home (38.0% compared to 31.5%); a smaller proportion purchasing their home (33.6% compared to 35.3%); and a smaller proportion renting (23.4% compared to 26.5%). The majority of households in Banyule are couples with children (33.8%). However by the year 2026, the proportion is forecast to decrease to 31.8%. Conversely, the proportion of lone person households in Banyule is forecast to increase from 21.9% in 2011 to 23.3% by 2026. Education The educational level attained by Banyule residents (aged 15+ years) is slightly higher than for residents in Greater Melbourne. Fifty six percent completed Year 12 or equivalent compared to 54.6%. Similarly, 36.3% completed a tertiary qualification compared to 32.4%. Employment In the 2011 Census, the number of Banyule residents that were employed from a total labour force of 61,388 was 58,669 (95.6%). Of these, 36.6% were employed part-time. In comparison, a lower proportion of residents in Greater Melbourne were employed part-time (34.2%). Trends indicate the unemployment rate is growing. In the 2014 September quarter, the unemployment rate in Banyule was 5.39% (up from 3.48% in the 2010 December quarter), but lower compared to the unemployment rate in Victoria (6.75%) and in Australia (6.18%). The largest employer in Banyule is the Health Care and Social Assistance industry (making up 29.1% of all employment in 2013/14), followed by Retail Trade (11.3%), Education and Training (10.1%) and Construction (9.1%). A considerable proportion of the people who work in Banyule also live in the area (38.4%). Budget implications There are no short term budget implications related to changes in Council’s social and demographic make-up. Long term planning and provision is being set for two divergent factors that are occurring in Banyule’s demographic make-up: 1. Banyule’s population cohort in the “baby boomer” 60+ category is increasing overall and associated service will need to increase to provide for both aging well in place and increases in social support services. 2. Banyule has experienced a mini baby boom which will continue to put pressure on early years and recreational services in the mid- term.

Further, a State based and Council supported initiative around neighbourhood renewal continues within Heidelberg West. We continue to see a significant shift in the population make-up of this area to emerging migrant groups and rapidly growing established ethnic communities. Council continues to support appropriate increases in development density around its activity centres which will have ongoing implications for many service areas and infrastructure provision. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure planning processes for these precincts is well established. Note: Data sources: - Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing, 2011 and 2006. - Employment data: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Small Area Labour Markets and National Institute of Economic and Industry Research (NIEIR) compiled and presented in economy.id. 3.2 External influences The Victorian State Government has announced that local government rates will be capped from 2016-17. Depending on the level at which rates are capped Council may need to undertake a review of services that are provided to the community with the aim ensuring a sustainable level of service can be offered to the community. Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases on goods and services of 1.7% through the year to December quarter 2014 (ABS release 28 January 2015). State-wide CPI is forecast to be 2.5% for the 2015/16 year (Victorian Budget Papers 2014/15). Australian Average Weekly Earnings (AWE) growth for Public Sector full-time adult ordinary time earnings in the 12 months to November 2014 was 2.1% (ABS release 25 February 2015). The wages price index in Victoria is projected to be 3.50% per annum in 2015/16 and the subsequent two years (Victorian Budget Papers 2014/15). Cost Shifting occurs where Local Government provides a service to the community on behalf of the State and Federal Government. Over time the funds received by local governments do not increase in line with real cost increases. Examples of services that are subject to Cost Shifting include school crossing supervisors, library services and home and community care for aged residents. In all these services the level of payment received by Council from the State Government does not reflect the real cost of providing the service to the community. Councils across Australia raise approximately 3% of the total taxation collected by all levels of Government in Australia. In addition Councils are entrusted with the maintenance of more than 30% of all Australian public assets including roads, bridges, parks, footpaths and public buildings. This means that a large proportion of Council's income must be allocated to the maintenance and replacement of these valuable public assets in order to ensure the quality of public infrastructure is maintained at satisfactory levels. The carbon price repeal legislation received Royal Assent on 17 July 2014, effective from 1 July 2014. Councils are expected to account for the carbon price refunds received and unused carbon price revenue collected in a transparent way. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has recently suggested that Councils use the money collected for the Carbon Tax on projects or infrastructure benefiting their communities or by accounting for this additional money by setting their future fees and charges lower than they would otherwise have been. The Fire Services Property Levy will continue to be collected by Council on behalf of the State Government with the introduction of the Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012.

Domestic interest rates (i.e. 90 and 180 day rates) have been volatile over a number of years and have reduced to record low levels. As such Council has budgeted for sustained reduction in the amount of income from investments for 2015/16 based on anticipated low returns on term deposits and an anticipated lower cash balance going forward. 3.3 Internal influences As well as external influences, there are also a number of internal influences, corporate risks and effectiveness controls that must also be considered. All of these have a significant impact on the consideration and preparation of the 2015/16 Budget. Listed below is a series of the key internal influences considered through the budget process:
Financial sustainability Effective Communication/ reputation management Guards against Fraud and Misappropriation Consideration of a changing workforce demographic Strategies and actions that address Climate and Environment concerns of our community and organisation A Focus on asset renewal Appropriate Governance is in place Effective Management of Industrial Disputes/ Unrest Effective control of Contract and Project management Improvements in business continuity recovery processes High-level monitoring of corporate risks and opportunities Collective Bargaining Agreement which commenced on 1 July 2014 of 3.35% increase for the next 2 years to 30 June 2016. The subsequent year increasing by 3.30%).
3.4 Budget principles Budget principles include:
A long term commitment to a balance between ongoing financial sustainability and the commitment for delivery of key infrastructure projects to the community A move to a return to “green” in all the VAGO sustainability indicators over the term of this Council Focus on increases from alternate funding sources other than rates for major capital projects. Improved communication, engagement and reporting to the community on the financial stewardship of Council. Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of existing resources in the delivery of services to the community.

4.1.1 Underlying surplus ($2.29 million decrease) The underlying result is the net surplus or deficit for the year adjusted for non-recurrent capital grants, non-monetary asset contributions, and capital contributions from other sources. It is a measure of financial sustainability and Council’s ability to achieve its service delivery objectives as it is not impacted by capital income items which can often mask the operating result. The underlying result for the 2015/2016 year is a surplus of $2.26 million which is a decrease of $2.29 million from the 2014/2015 year.

4.2.1 Rates and charges ($3.89 million increase) It is proposed that total general rates and charges income to be raised for 2015/2016 is $89.56 million. This includes an increase in the Municipal Charge of 2.41% per rateable assessment; supplementary rates are anticipated to decrease. Section 9 “Rating Information” includes a more detailed analysis of the rates and charges to be levied for 2015/2016. Information on rates and charges specifically required by the Regulations is included in Appendix B. 4.2.2 User fees ($1.80 million increase) User charges relate mainly to the recovery of service delivery costs through the charging of fees to users of Council’s services. These include the use of leisure, entertainment and other community facilities and the provision of human services such as child care and home help services. In setting the budget, the key principle for determining the level of user charges has been to ensure that increases do not exceed market levels and in the majority of instances CPI. For 2015/2016 new sources of revenue have contributed to the increase. 4.2.3 Interest income ($634K decrease) Interest Income is predominantly made up of the interest received on Council's cash holdings in bank accounts and term deposits. Interest income is projected to decrease by $634K as Council spends a significant portion of cash reserves on Capital Works as well as a projected drop in interest rates compared to 2014/2015. 4.2.4 Grants - operating ($102K increase) Operating grants include all monies received from State and Federal Government and other sources for the purposes of funding the delivery of Council’s services to ratepayers. Overall, the level of operating grants has increased by 0.87% or $102K compared to 2014/2015. A list of operating grants by type and source, classified into recurrent and non-recurrent, is included below.

Increases in specific operating grant funding reflect expected increased demand for these services. The Victoria Grants Commission (VGC) funding was frozen at previous year’s levels by the State Government. This freeze applied across the board. 4.2.5 Grants - capital ($145K increase) Capital grants include all grant monies received from State Government, Federal Government and other sources for the purposes of funding the capital works program. Overall the level of capital grants has increased by 6.5% or $145K compared to 2014/2015. This is due to an increase in the grants received as part of the Commonwealths Roads to Recovery Program of $518K, which is partially offset by a reduction in funding for other capital works projects. Section 6. “Analysis of Capital Budget” includes a more detailed analysis of the grants and contributions expected to be received during the 2015/2016 year. A list of capital grants by type and source, classified into recurrent and non-recurrent, is included below.

4.2.6 Contributions - monetary ($178K increase) Contributions relate to monies paid by property developers, monies paid by local sporting clubs/organisations to contribute to Capital Works Projects, and profit-sharing income from WaterMarc. Contributions are projected to increase by $178K or 6.91% compared to 2014/2015 due mainly to a slight increase in the number of contributions received for Capital Works projects. 4.2.7 Net gain on disposal of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment ($11.52 million decrease) Net gain from the disposal of Council assets are forecast to reduce by $11.5 million to $310K for the 2015/2016 year. This is due to the sale in 2014/2015, of Bellfield Primary School, for which Council had a net gain of $10.3 million. 4.2.8 Rental income ($42Kincrease) Rental income is projected to increase by $42K or 2.23% from 2014/2015 to 2015/2016. This is attributable to small price increases in our rental charges to our commercial tenants. 4.2.9 Other income ($12K decrease) Other income relates to a range of items such as sale of right-of-ways, sale of drainage reserves, sponsorship of council events and other miscellaneous items. Other income is forecast to decrease by 8.45% or $12k compared to 2014/2015. Sponsorship is forecast to decline by $11k due to a reduction in parent donations towards Council's three child care centres.

4.3.1 Employee costs ($2.90 million increase) Employee costs include all labour related expenditure such as wages & salaries and on-costs such as allowances, leave entitlements, employer superannuation, etc. Employee costs are forecast to increase by 4.87% or $2.90 million compared to 2014/2015. This increase relates to three key factors: The continuation of Council’s Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) and its yearly pay increases. Additional staff costs for a full year in 2015/2016 as the new management structure was initiated in the middle of the 2014/2015 financial year. Increases in individual staff salaries as they progress through pay bandings.

4.3.2 Contracts, materials and services ($7.31 million decrease) Materials and services include the purchases of consumables, payments to contractors for the provision of services and utility costs. Materials and services are forecast to decrease by 17.02% or $7.31 million compared to 2014/2015. The majority of this decrease is due to the Energy Efficient Public Lighting program which had costs of $3.80 million in 2014/2015 but will be finished by 2015/2016. There were a number of other once-off projects which had large contractor’s expenditure in 2014/2015 but will not continue into 2015/2016. These include the Olympic Village Learning Hub, the IAFC Redevelopment Design and the West Heidelberg Community Hub, which in total represent a decrease in contractor costs of $1.37 million. Additionally, general materials and supplies are forecast to decrease by $739K compared to 2014/2015.

Page 109
4.3.3 Utility costs ($155K increase) Utility Costs are projected to increase by $155K or 3.6% compared to 2014/2015. This is mainly due to an increase in water charges for Council properties. Thanks to Council undertaking a number of green energy projects in recent years, electricity/lighting costs are expected to stay relatively constant as any price rises will be offset by lower power usage. 4.3.4 Depreciation and amortisation ($55K increase) Depreciation is an accounting measure which attempts to allocate the value of an asset over its useful life for Council’s property, plant and equipment including infrastructure assets such as roads and drains. The increase of $577K for 2015/2016 is due mainly to the completion of the 2015/2016 capital works program and the full year effect of depreciation on the 2014/2015 capital works program. Refer to Section 6. ‘Analysis of Capital Budget’ for a more detailed analysis of Council’s capital works program for the 2015/2016 year. 4.3.5 Borrowing costs ($148K decrease) Borrowing costs relate to interest charged by financial institutions on funds borrowed. The reduction in borrowing costs results from the planned reduction in borrowings due to repayment of principal in accordance with loan agreements. 4.3.6 Donations ($45K decrease) There has been a minor reduction in Council's donations of $45K. 4.3.7 Contributions ($238K increase) Council's contributions expenditure is projected to increase by $238K or 4.1% compared to 2014/2015. The significant majority ($235K) of this increase relates to Council's contribution to the running costs of the Yarra Plenty Regional Library service. 4.3.8 Other expenses ($30K increase) Other expenses relate to a range of unclassified items including bad and doubtful debts, operating leases, internal waste disposal costs, councillor allowances and other miscellaneous expenditure items. Other expenses are forecast to increase by 1.5% or $31K compared to 2014/2015.

5. Analysis of budgeted cash position This section analyses the expected cash flows from the operating, investing and financing activities of Council for the 2015/2016 year. Budgeting cash flows for Council is a key factor in setting the level of rates and providing a guide to the level of capital expenditure that can be sustained with or without using existing cash reserves. The analysis is based on three main categories of cash flows:
Operating activities - Refers to the cash generated or used in the normal service delivery functions of Council. Cash remaining after paying for the provision of services to the community may be available for investment in capital works, or repayment of debt. Investing activities - Refers to cash generated or used in the enhancement or creation of infrastructure and other assets. These activities also include the acquisition and sale of other assets such as property, vehicles and equipment. Financing activities - Refers to cash generated or used in the financing of Council functions and include borrowings from financial institutions and advancing of repayable loans to other organisations (if any). These activities also include repayment of the principal component of loan repayments for the year.

5.1.1 Operating activities ($9.56 million increase) The increase in cash inflows from operating activities is due mainly to a $6.93M decrease in other payments, in particular materials and contractors, due to the energy efficient lighting project being completed in 2014/2015. This decrease is offset by an increase of $2.90M in employee costs, which is in line with the current Enterprise Agreement. The $3.89M increase in rates and charges is in line with the rate increase of 4.95% and increase in the municipal charge. User fees and charges are budgeted to increase by $1.83M. The main increase for user fees and fines is for the Leisure Centres. In particular the user fees income for Ivanhoe Aquatic and Fitness Centre is expected to increase with the increase in patronage as a result of the completion of stage one of the major redevelopment of the centre. The net cash flows from operating activities does not equal the surplus for the year as the expected revenues and expenses of the Council include non-cash items which have been excluded from the Cash Flow Statement. The budgeted operating result is reconciled to budgeted cash flows available from operating activities as set out in the following table.

5.1.2 Investing activities ($3.61million increase) The increase in net payments for investing activities is represented by three factors. 1. the budgeted reduction in the sale of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment ($10.78M). In 2014/2015 one former school site was sold whereas in 2015/2016 it is budgeted to sell only a portion of another former school site. 2. a planned increase in capital works expenditure ($8.75M), as disclosed in section 10 of this budget report. A major emphasis in the capital works program is expenditure on asset renewal. 3. the strategic decision to invest in term deposits greater than three months to maturity, called financial assets, to earn a higher interest rate, instead of a maturity of less than three months, called cash and cash equivalents. This decision continues on from the forecast actual 2014/2015 position. 5.1.3 Financing activities ($232K increase) For 2015/2016 the total of principal repayments is $2.65M and borrowings costs (interest) is $3.73M. 5.1.4 Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year ($1.55million increase) Overall, total cash and short term investments is forecast to increase by $1.55M to $54.22M as at 30 June 2016, reflecting Council’s strategy of transferring excess cash and short term investments to specific reserve accounts to fund future capital works projects, new infrastructure and new property assets. This is consistent with Council’s Strategic Resource Plan (see Section 8), which forecasts a large transfer to reserves funded primarily by a recent property sale of a former school site.
5.2 Restricted and unrestricted cash and investments Cash and cash equivalents held by Council are restricted in part and not fully available for Council’s operations. The budgeted cash flow statement above indicates that Council is estimating at 30 June 2016 it will have cash and cash equivalents of $54.22M, which has been restricted as shown in the following table. The $54.22M includes short term investments with a maturity date of three months or less. The budgeted balance sheet indicates that Council is estimating at 30 June 2016 it will have financial assets, that is, investments with a maturity date of longer than three months, of $18M which are not restricted.

During the 2015/2016 year $3.65M is budgeted to be transferred to and $1.70M from Statutory Reserves. 5.2.2 Cash held to fund carry forward capital works ($nil at 30/6/2016) There is no amount shown as cash held to fund carry forward works at 30 June 2016, as it is expected that the capital works budget in the 2015/2016 financial year will be fully completed. An amount of $1.06M is forecast to be held at 30 June 2015 to fund capital works budgeted but not completed in the 2014/2015 financial year. Section 6.2 contains further details on capital works funding. 5.2.3 Unrestricted cash and short term investments ($50 million at 30/6/2016) The amount shown is in accordance with the definition of unrestricted cash included in the Regulations. These funds are free of statutory reserve funds and cash to be used to fund capital works expenditure from the previous financial year. 5.2.4 Discretionary reserves ($40.55 million as at 30/6/2016) These funds are shown as discretionary reserves as, although not restricted by a statutory purpose, Council has made decisions regarding the future use of these funds and unless there is a Council resolution these funds should be used only for those earmarked purposes. During the 2015/2016 year $28.06M is budgeted to be transferred to and $26.24M from Discretionary Reserves. The decisions about future use of these funds has been reflected in Council’s Strategic Resource Plan and any changes in future use of the funds will be made in the context of the future funding requirements set out in the plan and decisions made by Council.
5.2.5 Unrestricted cash adjusted for discretionary reserves ($9.45million at 30/6/2016) These funds are free of all specific Council commitments and represent funds available to meet daily cash flow requirements, unexpected short term needs and any budget commitments which will be expended in the following year such as contractor payments, grants and contributions. Council regards these funds as the minimum necessary to ensure that it can meet its commitments as and when they fall due without borrowing further funds.

7.1.1 Current Assets ($9.66M decrease) and Non-Current Assets ($79.88 million increase) Cash and cash equivalents include cash and short term investments such as cash held in the bank and in petty cash and the value of investments in deposits or other highly liquid investments with short term maturities of three months or less. These balances are projected to increase by $1.55million during the year. Non-current assets classified as held for sale, represents assets mainly property and buildings, held for sale at 30 June which are expected to be sold within the next twelve months. The main contributor to these amounts is parcels of land from the former school sites. Trade and other receivables are monies owed to Council by ratepayers and other debtors. The amounts outstanding are expected to remain static during the year. Other assets include items such as inventories and prepayments for expenses that Council has paid in advance of service delivery. Non-current assets include Infrastructure, Property and Plant and Equipment assets. The revaluation of infrastructure and building assets accounts for $69 million of the $79.88 million increase. The capital works program includes purchase of and construction of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets. 7.1.2 Current Liabilities ($1.98 million increase) and Non-Current Liabilities ($4.62 million decrease) Trade and other payables are those to whom Council owes money as at 30 June. These liabilities are budgeted to remain consistent with the 2014/2015 levels. Provisions include accrued long service leave, annual leave and annual leave loading owing to employees. These employee entitlements are expected to remain static as the increase in salaries due to the Enterprise Agreement is offset by management's active plans to reduce the number of entitlement weeks, by staff taking more accrued leave. Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are borrowings of Council from major banks. Council is budgeting to repay loan principal of $2.65million over the year. Other liabilities include Council's Trust funds and deposits held. Council is budgeting for these to stay the same. 7.1.3 Working Capital ($11.63 million decrease) Working capital is the excess of current assets above current liabilities. This calculation recognises that although Council has current assets, some of those assets are already committed to the future settlement of liabilities in the following 12 months, and are therefore not available for discretionary spending. Some of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cash assets are restricted in that they are required by legislation to be held in reserve for specific purposes or are held to fund carry forward capital works from the previous financial year.

In addition to the restricted cash shown above, Council is also projected to hold $40.55M in discretionary reserves at 30 June 2016. Although not restricted by a statutory purpose, Council has made decisions regarding the future use of these funds and unless there is a Council resolution these funds should be used for those earmarked purposes. 7.1.4 Equity ($72.87 million increase) Total equity always equals net assets and is made up of the following components: Asset revaluation reserve which represents the difference between the previously recorded value of assets and their current valuations Other reserves that are funds that Council wishes to separately identify as being set aside to meet a specific purpose in the future and to which there is no existing liability. These amounts are transferred from the Accumulated Surplus of the Council to be separately disclosed Accumulated surplus which is the value of all net assets less Reserves that have accumulated over time. During the year an amount of $3.78 million (net) is budgeted to be transferred from accumulated surplus to other reserves. This reflects the net transfer of specific budgeted funds, to fund the capital works program over the subsequent three years. This is a transfer between equity balances only and does not impact on the total balance of equity. The Asset Revaluation Reserve is expected to increase by $69 million as a result of revaluing Council's infrastructure and property assets. A revaluation is undertaken every two years. 7.2 Key assumptions In preparing the Budgeted Balance Sheet for the year ending 30 June 2016 it was necessary to make a number of assumptions about assets, liabilities and equity balances. The key assumptions are as follows: A total of 100% of total rates and charges raised will be collected in the 2015/2016 year Trade and other receivables (debtors), Financial assets, Other assets, Inventories, Trade and other payables (creditors), Trust funds and deposits and Provisions to remain consistent with 2014/2015 levels Employee entitlements to be increased by the Collective Agreement outcome offset by the impact of more active management of leave entitlements of staff Repayment of loan principal to be $2.65 million Total capital expenditure to be $42.76 million

Council is not expecting to be subjected to any further unfunded superannuation liability calls.

Long term strategies 8. Strategic resource plan and financial performance indicators This section includes an extract of the adopted Strategic Resource Plan to provide information on the long term financial projections of the Council. 8.1 Plan development The Act requires a Strategic Resource Plan to be prepared describing both financial and nonfinancial resources (including human resources) for at least the next four financial years to achieve the strategic objectives in the Council Plan. In preparing the SRP, Council must take into account all other plans and strategies in regard to services and initiatives which commit financial and non-financial resources for the period of the SRP. Council has prepared an SRP for the four years 2015/2016 to 2018/2019 as part of its ongoing financial planning to assist in adopting a budget within a longer term framework. The SRP takes the strategic objectives and strategies as specified in the Council Plan and expresses them in financial terms for the next four years. The key objective, which underlines the development of the SRP, is financial sustainability in the medium to long term, while still achieving Council’s strategic objectives as specified in the Council Plan. The key financial objectives, which underpin the SRP, are:
Maintain existing service levels Achieve an underlying operating surplus each year Maintain a capital expenditure program with at least $13.5 million funded from operating surplus per annum Achieve a balanced budget on a cash basis.
In preparing the SRP, Council has also been mindful of the need to comply with the following Principles of Sound Financial Management as contained in the Act:
Prudent management of financial risks relating to debt, assets and liabilities
Delivery of:
a rating strategy based on stability, equity, efficiency and transparency, and a debt management strategic plan to ensure decisions and opportunities can be accommodated within a context of responsible, sustainable financial management
Consideration of the financial effects of Council decisions on future generations
Full, accurate and timely disclosure of financial information.
The SRP is updated annually through a rigorous process of consultation with Council service providers followed by a detailed sensitivity analysis to achieve the key financial objectives.

Trend +/o/-
The key outcomes of the Plan are as follows:
Financial sustainability (Section 5) - Cash and cash equivalents is forecast to decrease over the four year period from $52.67 million to $27.16 million. Council’s cash holdings will be reduced to fund large capital projects in future years while also funding accelerated repayments of Council’s past borrowings. The cash holding is considered to be sustainable. Rating levels (Section 9) – Rate increases are forecast over the four years at 4.95%, 2.50%, 2.50% & 2.50%. These increases take into account the rate capping legislation which has recently been passed by the Victorian Government. Service delivery strategy (section 10) – Service levels have been maintained throughout the four year period. Service reviews are undertaken across council each year and recommendations for improvements and implemented to ensure the best quality and cost of service delivery. Current review impacts are included in the Strategic Resource Plan. Borrowing strategy (Section 10) – Borrowings are forecast to reduce from $55.37 million to $42.77 million over the four year period. This includes no new borrowings and some repayments in addition to those scheduled to accelerate Council’s debt reduction. Infrastructure strategy (Section 10) - Capital expenditure over the four year period will total $143.73 million at an average of $35.93 million per year. This includes some large extraordinary projects such as the Greensborough Office Accommodation and the redevelopment of basketball courts at the Banksia College school site.

Key to Forecast Trend: + Forecasts improvement in Council's financial performance/financial position indicator o Forecasts that Council's financial performance/financial position indicator will be steady - Forecasts deterioration in Council's financial performance/financial position indicator Notes to indicators Underlying result - An indicator of the sustainable operating result required to enable Council to continue to provide core services and meet its objectives. A consistently positive financial performance is expected over the period. Working capital - An indicator of the sustainable operating result required to enable Council to continue to provide core services and meet its objectives. A consistently positive financial performance is expected over the period. Debt compared to rates - Trend indicates Council's reducing reliance on debt against its annual rate revenue through redemption of long term debt. Asset renewal - This percentage indicates the extent of Council's renewals against its depreciation charge (an indication of the decline in value of its existing capital assets). A percentage greater than 100 indicates Council is maintaining its existing assets, while a percentage less than 100 means its assets are deteriorating faster than they are being renewed. Rates concentration - Reflects extent of reliance on rate revenues to fund all of Council's on-going services. Trend indicates Council will have a steady reliance on rate revenue compared to other revenue sources. Within 2017 is an allocation against expenditure presenting an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;efficiency dividendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of $654K. It is expected that this amountwill reduce to nil with permanent cost savings and/or addition revenue during the period (e.g. move to Greensborough office). Any additional savings will be transferred to reserves to fund future capital projects 8.4 Non-financial resources In addition to the financial resources to be consumed over the planning period, Council will also consume non-financial resources, in particular human resources. A summary of Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anticipated human resources requirements for the 2015/2016 year is shown below and further detail is included in section 4.3.1 of this budget.

9. Rating information This section contains information on Council’s past and foreshadowed rating levels along with Council's rating structure and the impact of changes in property valuations. This section should be read in conjunction with Council’s Rating Strategy. 9.1 Rating context In developing the Strategic Resource Plan (referred to in Section 8.), rates and charges were identified as an important source of revenue, accounting for 67% of the total revenue received by Council annually. Planning for future rate increases has therefore been an important component of the Strategic Resource Planning process. The level of required rates and charges has been considered in this context, with reference to Council's other sources of income and the planned expenditure on services and works to be undertaken for the Banyule community, after having undertaken extensive consultation regarding the City Plan 2013-2017. It has also been necessary to balance the importance of rate revenue as a funding source with community sensitivity to increases, particularly recent changes in property valuations and subsequently rates for some properties in the municipality. To ensure that deliberations about future rate increases have been made on an informed basis, comparisons of historical rate increases were made between Council and other councils. The following table shows a comparison of the last five years rate increases and the average rates per capita for the 2014/2015 year. Year

Source: Council’s Strategic resource plan 2015/2016 to 2018/2019 and Municipal Association of Victoria. The table indicates that over the past five years Council’s rate increases have been 1.34% greater than the average of other Councils however the average rate per capita was $687 lower than the average of Councils in 2014/2015. Banyule has historically been a lower rating municipality in comparison to the State averages; however rising costs, cost shifting from other levels of Government and the need to increase infrastructure asset renewal has caused larger increases that the average of other Councils in recent years. 9.2 Current year rate increase It is predicted that the 2015/2016 operating position will be significantly impacted by the capital works program, ageing infrastructure maintenance and replacement, and the impact of cost shifting by State and Federal governments. Council intends to invest $42.76 milliom ($41.35 million in 2014/2015) into capital works, refer to Appendix C for a detailed listing.
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 129
In order to achieve these objectives while maintaining service levels and a strong capital expenditure program, it will be necessary to increase the total amount raised from general Council rates by 4.95% and the municipal charge by 2.41% per rateable property. This will raise a total of $89.56 million for 2015/2016, comprised of general rates, municipal charges and supplementary rate revenue. The following table sets out future proposed increases in rates and charges and the total rates and charges to be raised, based on the forecast financial position of Council as at 30 June 2015.

9.3 Rating structure Council has established a rating structure which is comprised of two key elements. These are: Property values, which form the central basis of rating under the Local Government Act 1989 A fixed municipal charge per property to cover some of the administrative costs of the Council. Striking a proper balance between these elements provides equity in the distribution of the rate burden across rateable properties and residents. Council makes a further distinction within the property value component of rates based on the purpose for which the property is used, that is, whether the property is used for residential, commercial, industrial or recreational purposes. This distinction is based on the concept that business should pay a fair and equitable contribution to rates taking into account the benefits those commercial and industrial properties derive from the local community. Having reviewed the various valuation bases for determining the property value component of rates, Council has determined to apply a Capital Improved Value (CIV) basis on the grounds that it provides the most equitable distribution of rates across the municipality. There are currently no plans to change that basis. The existing rating structure comprises six differential rates being: Residential improved Residential vacant Commercial improved Commercial vacant Industrial improved Industrial vacant
Banyule City Council Budget 2015-2016
Page 130
These rates are structured in accordance with the requirements of Section 161 ‘Differential Rates’ of the Local Government Act 1989. In accordance with the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963, provision is made for a Council to levy an amount in lieu of rates for recreational lands. This amount is “such amount as the municipal council thinks reasonable having regard to the services provided by the municipal council in relation to such lands and having regard to the benefit to the community derived from such recreational lands”. Differential rates are calculated using the residential improved rate as the base; an additional percentage is applied to the other rating classifications. The residential vacant rate is increased by 35%, commercial and industrial improved rates are increased by 25% and the commercial and industrial vacant rates are increased by 75%. The amount in lieu of rates for cultural and recreational land is a reduction of 16% on the residential improved rate. Council also levies a municipal charge, as allowed under the Local Government Act 1989. The municipal charge is set at $130.00 per rateable assessment for 2015/2016; this is an increase of 2.41% from 2014/2015 ($126.94). The following table summarises the rates to be determined for the 2015/2016 year. A more detailed analysis of the rates to be raised is contained in Appendix B Rates and Charges. Rate type

10. Other strategies This section sets out summaries of the strategies that have been developed and incorporated into the Strategic Resource Plan including borrowings, infrastructure and service delivery. 10.1 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised as a legitimate and responsible financial management tool when used for appropriate purposes and in appropriate circumstances. The funding structure of a Council should reflect its existing and planned cash requirements. Planned cash requirements should be based on an entity's strategic plans, existing financial position and budgeted and forecast cash flows. The Council budget for 2015/2016 and related forecasts to 2018/2019 are contained in the Council's City Plan. The City Plan details Council's strategic initiatives for the forecast period being to 30 June 2019. Council has made decisions based on a number of changes in circumstances and opportunities that represent amendment or variations to some strategic initiatives. Banyule City Council in 2013/2014 increased its debt level to $60.28 million due to strategic property acquisitions and expanding capital expenditure. Borrowing was identified as an important funding source for major capital works programs. Council has borrowed to finance large infrastructure projects and has since been in a phase of debt reduction, which will continue. Council intends to return to a long term average level of indebtedness of below the 40% "Green" level of the VAGO financial sustainability indicator, which compares indebtedness to own source revenue. Council is further committed to expedite debt reduction, as debt matures, by using the accumulated funds in the debt redemption reserve to accelerate loan principal repayment. The purchase of the strategic properties and subsequent sale of these properties has enabled Council to use these funds to fund its major infrastructure projects over the next four years. Council has not budgeted any new borrowings for the next four years and therefore, after making loan principal repayments of $15.24 million, will reduce its total borrowings to $42.77 million as at 30 June 2019. The following table sets out Council's future proposed borrowings position to 30 June 2019, based on the forecast financial position of Council as at 30 June 2015. Year

10.2 Infrastructure Council’s infrastructure network represents a significant investment made over many generations and includes assets such as roads, drains, footpaths, buildings and open space facilities. This asset network provides the necessary services and facilities that are expected from its users and the stewardship of this infrastructure is a core Council function. Council has developed Asset Management Plans for the major asset classes. The Council has also developed a forward works plan based on the knowledge provided by various Asset Management Plans, which sets out the capital expenditure requirements of Council for the next 10 years by class of asset, and is a key input to the SRP. Asset Plans predict infrastructure consumption, renewal needs and considers infrastructure requirements to meet future community service expectations. The forward works plan has been developed through stakeholder consultation and evaluation. The key aspects of the process are as follows: Long term capital planning process which integrates with the Council Plan, Strategic Resource Plan and Annual Budget processes. Identification of capital projects through the preparation of asset management plans. Prioritisation of capital projects within classes on the basis of evaluation criteria. Methodology for allocating annual funding to classes of capital projects. Business Case template for officers to document capital project submissions. A key objective of the Infrastructure Strategy is to maintain or renew Council’s existing assets at desired condition levels. If sufficient funds are not allocated to asset renewal then Council’s investment in those assets will reduce, along with the capacity to deliver services to the community. Council is a participant in the Municipal Association of Victoria STEP Asset Management Program, which includes the best practice guidelines contained in the federal government’s National Asset Management Assessment Framework and Financial Sustainability Programs. Council will continue to respond to the MAV STEP Program obligations by continually enhancing its best practice asset management framework to attain, as a minimum, a ‘Core’ level of proficiency. This framework extends from Council’s Asset Management Policy to asset operations and information management systems. At present, Council is fully funding its asset renewal requirements. This is represented in the "Renewal Backlog" graph shown within this section. This asset renewal requirements has been achieved through Council's decision to proceed with its Corporate office project at WaterMarc in Greensbourough over the next two years, the impact of providing funding to proceed with this project has the result that Council is not only meeting its renewal commitment but actually shows that Council is exceeding their renaw gap commitment in the 2016/2017 budget. The renewal funding provided in 2015/2016 is $23.97M with projections to increase to $24.17M in 2016/2017 droppping back to $13.63M in 2017/2018 then increasing again to $23.59M in 2018/2019.

Each year a range of new capital assets are created for new facilities to meet community expectations, ranging from traffic management works to shopping centre streetscapes, parks and new or upgraded buildings. These new assets will also require renewal in future years thus adding to the asset renewal needs of the city. Asset management plans are currently in the process of review, the information obtained from these plans will form the basis of the development of the forward works plan for the next 10 years and strongly influences the makeup of future Capital Works Budgets. The following table summarises Council's forward outlook on capital expenditure including funding sources for the next four years.

In addition to using cash generated from its annual operations, borrowings and external contributions such as government grants, Council has significant cash or investment reserves that are also used to fund a variety of capital projects. These reserves are either ‘statutory’ or ’discretionary’ cash reserves. Statutory reserves relate to cash and investments held by Council that must be expended on a specific purpose as directed by legislation or a funding body, and include contributions to car parking, drainage and public resort and recreation. Discretionary cash reserves relate to those cash and investment balances that have been set aside by Council and can be used at Council’s discretion, even though they may be earmarked for a specific purpose. 10.3 Service delivery The key objectives in Council’s Strategic Resource Plan (referred to in Section 8.) which directly impact the future service delivery strategy are to generally maintain existing service levels and to achieve a breakeven underlying operating result or better for the four years of the city plan. The Rating Information (see Section 9) also refers to a responsible rate increase in year 2015/2016 to fund our services and our capital works program. These key objectives are the basis of our service provision, a number of internal and external influences have been identified through discussions with management which will have some impact on the scope and level of services to be provided over the next four years. In general the situation remains stable with a significant focus on continuous improvement in our efficiency and effectiveness of service delivery. The most significant factor affecting our bottom line is a move to provide better infrastructure and amenity outcomes to the community. Factors affecting income:
Rating increases as required to meet current capital demands whilst maintaining quality services Fees and charges set at statutory levels or within commercially and socially accepted levels Grants from state and federal government are assumed generally at historic levels Continued projected drop in interest rates on investments Increased patronage from the newly renovated Ivanhoe Aquatic Centre WaterMarc Profit sharing arrangement Income growth from installation of additional parking metres across the municipality
Factors affecting expenditure
Discretionary expenditure principle established of no growth or CPI increases only Utility charges rebalanced to reflect current efficiency initiatives such as the street lighting replacement program, carbon tax repeal and future expenditure trends Additional resources have been proposed in limited circumstances to rebalance operational demands Enterprise Agreement renegotiated for a further 3 years effective from 1 July 2014 Service review initiatives implemented across various business activities to deliver efficiencies Debt management according to banking partnership arrangements Contribution to Regional Library Service running costs Prudent management

Service levels have been maintained throughout the four year period with operating surpluses budgeted every year from 2015/2016 to 2018/2019 as a result of close management of Council expenditure and a continued increase across Council's income streams. Excluding the effects of items such as capital grants and capital contributions, the underlying result is a fluctuating surplus over the four year period. The net cost of the services provided to the community increases from $67.27 million to $72.85 million over the four year period.

Under the provisions of the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963, the Council levies an amount in lieu of rates payable in respect of cultural and recreational lands. This is land which is not Residential Vacant Land, Commercial / Industrial Vacant Land or Commercial / Industrial Improved Land, which is specifically set aside for the use of cultural and recreational pursuits whereby the members do not derive a financial benefit or profit from the activities. The Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963 effectively provides for properties used for outdoor activities to be differentially rated unless it involves land that is being leased from a private landowner. The discretion of whether to provide a cultural and recreational lands rate rests with Council. In accordance with section 4 of the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963, the amount in lieu of rates payable in respect of each of the rateable lands to which the above Act applies, be the amounts fixed hereunder. The four properties that are currently defined as Cultural and Recreational properties in accordance with the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963 are: 1 Vasey Street, Ivanhoe 54 Cleveland Avenue, Lower Plenty 8 Main Street, Lower Plenty 540 The Boulevard, Ivanhoe East
