Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted by Council in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below in order to assist in its general understanding. Under Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs), accounting policies are defined as those specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by a reporting entity (in this case Council) in preparing and presenting its financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation (i) Background These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with;
Australian Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board,
the Local Government Act (1993) & Regulation, and the Local Government Code of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting. For the purpose of preparing these financial statements, Council has been deemed to be a notfor-profit entity. (ii) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) Because AASBs are sector neutral, some standards either: (a) have
local Australian content and prescription that is specific to the Not-ForProfit sector (including Local Government) which are not in compliance with IFRS’s, or
(b) specifically exclude application by Not for
Profit entities.
Accordingly in preparing these financial statements and accompanying notes, Council has been unable to comply fully with International Accounting Standards, but has complied fully with Australian Accounting Standards.
Under the Local Government Act (LGA), Regulations and Local Government Code of Accounting Practice & Financial Reporting, it should be noted that Councils in NSW only have a requirement to comply with AASBs. (iii) New and amended standards adopted by Council During the current year, the following relevant standards became mandatory for Council and have been adopted:
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement AASB 119 Employee Benefits
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement has not affected the assets or liabilities which are to be measured at fair value, however it provides detailed guidance on how to measure fair value in accordance with the accounting standards. It introduces the concept of highest and best use for non-financial assets and has caused the Council to review their valuation methodology. The level of disclosures regarding fair value have increased significantly and have been included in the financial statements at Note 27. AASB 119 Employee Benefits introduced revised definitions for short-term employee benefits. Whilst the Council has reviewed the annual leave liability to determine the level of annual leave which is expected to be paid more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, there has been no effect on the amounts disclosed as leave liabilities since Council’s existing valuation policy was to discount annual leave payable more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period to present values. (iv) Early adoption of Accounting Standards Council has not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2013. Refer further to paragraph (ab) relating to a summary of the effects of Standards with future operative dates.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (v) Basis of Accounting These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for: (i)
certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and available-forsale financial assets which are all valued at fair value,
(ii) the write down of any Asset on the basis of Impairment (if warranted) and (iii) certain classes of non current assets (eg. Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment and Investment Property) that are accounted for at fair valuation. The accrual basis of accounting has also been applied in their preparation. (vi) Changes in Accounting Policies Council’s accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. There have also been no changes in accounting policies when compared with previous financial statements unless otherwise stated [refer Note 20(d)]. (vii) Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates (in conformity with AASBs). Accordingly this requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Council's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on Council and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions Council makes estimates concerning the future.
and
assumptions
The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below: (i)
Estimated fair values of investment properties
(ii)
Estimated fair values of infrastructure, property, plant and equipment.
(iii) Estimated remediation provisions. Critical judgements accounting policies

applying
Council's
(i)
Impairment of Receivables - Council has made a significant judgement about the impairment of a number of its receivables in Note 7.
(ii)
Projected Section 94 Commitments - Council has used significant judgement in determining future Section 94 income and expenditure in Note 17.
(b) Revenue recognition Council recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to it and specific criteria have been met for each of the Council’s activities as described below. Council bases any estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is measured on major income categories as follows: Rates, Annual Charges, Grants and Contributions Rates, annual charges, grants and contributions (including developer contributions) are recognised as revenues when the Council obtains control over the assets comprising these receipts. Control over assets acquired from rates and annual charges is obtained at the commencement of the rating year as it is an enforceable debt linked to the

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies rateable property or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates. A provision for the impairment on rates receivables has not been established as unpaid rates represent a charge against the rateable property that will be recovered when the property is next sold. Control over granted assets is normally obtained upon their receipt (or acquittal) or upon earlier notification that a grant has been secured, and is valued at their fair value at the date of transfer. Revenue from Contributions is recognised when the Council either obtains control of the contribution or the right to receive it, (i) it is probable that the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the Council and (ii) the amount of the contribution can be measured reliably. Where grants or contributions recognised as revenues during the financial year were obtained on condition that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period and those conditions were undischarged at reporting date, the unused grant or contribution is disclosed in Note 3(g).
User Charges, Fees and Other Income User charges, fees and other income (including parking fees and fines) are recognised as revenue when the service has been provided, the payment is received, or when the penalty has been applied, whichever first occurs. A provision for the impairment of these receivables is recognised when collection in full is no longer probable. A liability is recognised in respect of revenue that is reciprocal in nature to the extent that the requisite service has not been provided as at reporting date. Sale of Infrastructure, Equipment
Property,
Plant
and
The profit or loss on sale of an asset is determined when control of the asset has irrevocably passed to the buyer. Interest and Rents Rental income is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Note 3(g) also discloses the amount of unused grant or contribution from prior years that was expended on Council’s operations during the current year.
Interest Income from Cash & Investments is accounted for using the effective interest rate at the date that interest is earned.
The Council has obligations to provide facilities from contribution revenues levied on developers under the provisions of S94 of the EPA Act 1979.
Dividend Income
Whilst Council generally incorporates these amounts as part of a Development Consents Order, such developer contributions are only recognised as income upon their physical receipt by Council, due to the possibility that individual Development Consents may not be acted upon by the applicant and accordingly would not be payable to Council. Developer contributions may only be expended for the purposes for which the contributions were required but the Council may apply contributions according to the priorities established in work schedules. A detailed Note relating to developer contributions can be found at Note 17.
Revenue is recognised when the Council’s right to receive the payment is established, which is generally when shareholders approve the dividend. Other Income Other income is recorded when the payment is due, the value of the payment is notified or the payment is received, whichever occurs first.
(c) Principles of Consolidation These financial statements incorporate (i) the assets and liabilities of Council and any entities (or operations) that it controls (as at 30 June 2014) and (ii) all the related operating results (for the financial year ended the 30th June 2014).

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements also include Council’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of any Jointly Controlled Operations under the appropriate headings. In the process of reporting on Council’s activities as a single unit, all inter-entity year end balances and reporting period transactions have been eliminated in full between Council and its controlled entities. (i) The Consolidated Fund In accordance with the provisions of Section 409(1) of the LGA 1993, all money and property received by Council is held in the Council’s Consolidated Fund unless it is required to be held in the Council’s Trust Fund. The Consolidated Fund and other entities through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in the financial statements forming part of this report. The following entities have been included as part of the Consolidated Fund:
Moree Plains Shire Council’s -
General Purpose Operations Water Supply Fund Sewerage Fund Gwydir Day Care Centre Max Centre
(iii) Joint Ventures Council participates in a number of cooperative arrangements with other Councils and other bodies. Council’s equity share in joint ventures is considered to be immaterial and has not been included in Council’s accounts. NWSP Cooperative Library The NWSP Cooperative Library is a contractual association between the Council’s of Moree Plains, Gwydir, Walgett and Brewarrina to carry out jointly a library service in there respective areas under the provision of Section 11 of the Library Act 1939. Details relating to such Entities and Partnerships (where applicable) are set out in Note 19. (iv) Associated Entities Where Council has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions (of another entity), ie. where Council is deemed to have “significant influence” over the other entities operations but neither controls nor jointly controls the entity, then Council accounts for such interests using the equity method of accounting – in a similar fashion to Joint Venture Entities & Partnerships. Such entities are usually termed Associates. (v) County Councils
(ii) The Trust Fund
Council is not a member of any County Councils.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 411 of the Local Government Act 1993 (as amended), a separate and distinct Trust Fund is maintained to account for all money and property received by the Council in trust which must be applied only for the purposes of or in accordance with the trusts relating to those monies.
(vi) Additional Information
Trust monies and property subject to Council’s control have been included in these statements. Trust monies and property held by Council but not subject to the control of Council, have been excluded from these statements. A separate statement of monies held in the Trust Fund is available for inspection at the Council office by any person free of charge.
Note 19 provides more information in relation to Joint Venture Entities, Associated Entities and Joint Venture Operations where applicable.
(d) Leases All Leases entered into by Council are reviewed and classified on inception date as either a Finance Lease or an Operating Lease. Finance Leases Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Council has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. page 13

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability outstanding and the recognition of a finance charge. The interest element of the finance charge is costed to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Postition but are incorporated into Cash & Cash Equivalents for presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows
(f) Investments and Other Financial Assets Council (in accordance with AASB 139) classifies each of its investments into one of the following categories for measurement purposes: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of each leased asset’s useful life and the lease term.
loans and receivables,
Operating Leases
available-for-sale financial assets.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Each classification depends on the purpose/intention for which the investment was acquired & at the time it was acquired.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Management determines each Investment classification at the time of initial recognition and reevaluates this designation at each reporting date.
Lease income from operating leases is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents For Statement of Cash Flows (and Statement of Financial Position) presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes; cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.
held-to-maturity investments, and
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are “held for trading”. A financial asset is classified in the “held for trading” category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are primarily classified as current assets as they are primarily held for trading &/or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the reporting date. (ii) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies They arise when the Council provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention (or in some cases ability) of selling the resulting receivable. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. (iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Council’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. In contrast to the “Loans & Receivables” classification, these investments are generally quoted in an active market. Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in noncurrent assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets. (iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are nonderivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Investments must be designated as available-forsale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term. Accordingly, this classification principally comprises marketable equity securities, but can include all types of financial assets that could otherwise be classified in one of the other investment categories.
category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term. Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term. Council may also choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or availablefor-sale categories if it has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification. Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made. Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-tomaturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively. General Accounting & Measurement of Financial Instruments: (i) Initial Recognition Investments are initially recognised (and measured) at fair value, plus in the case of investments not at “fair value through profit or loss”, directly attributable transactions costs Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Council commits to purchase or sell the asset.
They are generally included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the reporting date or the term to maturity from the reporting date is less than 12 months.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Council has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets classified as “fair value through profit or loss” category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non monetary securities classified as "available-for-sale" are recognised in equity in the available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve. When securities classified as "available-for-sale" are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.
If there is evidence of impairment for any of Council’s financial assets carried at amortised cost (eg. loans and receivables), the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price. (iii) Types of Investments
Impairment Council assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired.
Council has an approved Investment Policy in order to undertake its investment of money in accordance with (and to comply with) Section 625 of the Local Government Act and S212 of the LG (General) Regulation 2005. Investments are placed and managed in accordance with the Policy and having particular regard to authorised investments prescribed under the Ministerial Local Government Investment Order. Council maintains its investment Policy in compliance with the Act and ensures that it or its representatives exercise care, diligence and skill that a prudent person would exercise in investing Council funds. Council amended its policy following revisions to the Ministerial Local Government Investment Order arising from the Cole Inquiry recommendations. Certain investments that Council holds are no longer prescribed (eg. managed funds, CDOs, and equity linked notes), however they have been retained under grandfathering provisions of the Order. These will be disposed of when most financially advantageous to Council.
If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss - measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit and loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement.
(g) Fair value estimation
Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. page 16

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. Council uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Council establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include reference to the fair values of recent arm’s length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Council for similar financial instruments.
(h) Receivables Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Receivables (excluding Rates & Annual Charges) are generally due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition. The collectibility of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off in accordance with Council’s policy.
A provision for impairment (ie. an allowance account) relating to receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of each receivable. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement within other expenses. When a receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the income statement.
(i) Inventories Raw Materials and Stores, Work in Progress and Finished Goods Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods in respect of business undertakings are all stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories held in respect of non-business undertakings have been valued at cost subject to adjustment for loss of service potential.

Land Held for Resale/Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale are those costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the acquisition and development of the land had not been made. Borrowing costs incurred while active development is interrupted for extended periods are recognised as expenses.
(j) Infrastructure, Property, Plant and Equipment (I,PP&E) Acquisition of assets Council’s non current assets are continually revalued (over a 5 year period) in accordance with the fair valuation policy as mandated by the Office of Local Government. At reporting date, the following classes of I,PP&E were stated at their Fair Value; -

On initial recognition, an assets cost is measured at its fair value, plus all expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition. Where settlement of any part of an asset’s cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of recognition (ie. date of exchange) of the asset to arrive at fair value. The discount rate used is the Council’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Where infrastructure, property, plant and equipment assets are acquired for no cost or for an amount other than cost, the assets are recognised in the financial statements at their fair value at acquisition date - being the amount that the asset could have been exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Subsequent costs Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Council and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Asset Revaluations (including Indexation) In accounting for Asset Revaluations relating to Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment: Increases in the combined carrying amounts of asset classes arising on revaluation are credited to the asset revaluation reserve. To the extent that a net asset class increase reverses a decrease previously recognised via the profit or loss, then increase is first recognised in profit or loss. Net decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset class are first charged against revaluation reserves directly in equity to the extent of the remaining reserve attributable to the asset, with all other decreases charged to the Income statement. Water and sewerage network assets are indexed annually between full revaluations in accordance with the latest indices provided in the NSW Office of Water - Rates Reference Manual. For all other assets, Council assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that a revalued asset’s carrying amount may differ materially from that which would be determined if the asset were revalued at the reporting date. If any such indication exists, Council determines the asset’s fair value and revalues the asset to that amount. Full revaluations are undertaken for all assets on a 5 year cycle. Capitalisation Thresholds Items of infrastructure, property, plant and equipment are not capitalised unless their cost of acquisition exceeds the following; Land - council land - open space - land under roads (purchases after 30/6/08) Plant & Equipment Office Furniture Office Equipment Other Plant &Equipment

(k) Land Land (other than Land under Roads) is in accordance with Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the Local Government Act (1993) classified as either Operational or Community. This classification of Land is disclosed in Note 9(a).
(l) Land under roads Land under roads is land under roadways and road reserves including land under footpaths, nature strips and median strips. Council has elected not to recognise land under roads acquired before 1 July 2008 in accordance with AASB 1051. Land under roads acquired after 1 July 2008 is recognised in accordance with AASB 116 – Property, Plant and Equipment.
(m) Intangible Assets All asset residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted (if appropriate), at each reporting date.
Council has not classified any assets as Intangible.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount – refer Note 1(s) on Asset Impairment.
(n) Crown Reserves
Disposal and De-recognition An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in Council’s Income Statement in the year the asset is derecognised.
Crown Reserves under Council’s care and control are recognised as assets of the Council. While ownership of the reserves remains with the Crown, Council retains operational control of the reserves and is responsible for their maintenance and use in accordance with the specific purposes to which the reserves are dedicated. Improvements on Crown Reserves are also recorded as assets, while maintenance costs incurred by Council and revenues relating the reserves are recognised within Council’s Income Statement. Representations are currently being sought across State and Local Government to develop a consistent accounting treatment for Crown Reserves across both tiers of government.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (o) Rural Fire Service assets Under section 119 of the Rural Fires Act 1997, “all fire fighting equipment purchased or constructed wholly or from money to the credit of the Fund is to be vested in the council of the area for or on behalf of which the fire fighting equipment has been purchased or constructed”. At present, the accounting for such fire fighting equipment is not treated in a consistent manner across all Councils. Until such time as discussions on this matter have concluded and the legislation changed, Council will continue to account for these assets as it has been doing in previous years, which is to incorporate the assets, their values and depreciation charges within these financial statements.
(p) Investment property Investment property comprises land &/or buildings that are principally held for long-term rental yields, capital gains or both that is not occupied by Council.
occurs, whether this occurs during the development or during the operation phase, based on the net present value of estimated future costs. Provisions for close down and restoration costs do not include any additional obligations which are expected to arise from future disturbance. Costs are estimated on the basis of a closure plan. The cost estimates are calculated annually during the life of the operation to reflect known developments, eg updated cost estimates and revisions to the estimated lives of operations, and are subject to formal review at regular intervals. Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs are a normal consequence of tip and quarry operations, and the majority of close down and restoration expenditure is incurred at the end of the life of the operations. Although the ultimate cost to be incurred is uncertain, Council estimates the respective costs based on feasibility and engineering studies using current restoration standards and techniques.
Investment property is carried at fair value, representing an open-market value determined annually by external valuers.
The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is charged to the income statement in each accounting period.
Annual changes in the fair value of Investment Properties are recorded in the Income Statement as part of “Other Income”.
This amortisation of the discount is disclosed as a borrowing cost in Note 4(b).
The last full revaluation for Council’s Investment Properties was dated 01/07/2014.
Other movements in the provisions for Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs including those resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to the estimated lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are capitalised within property, plant and equipment.
(q) Provisions for close down, restoration and for environmental clean up costs – including Tips and Quarries
These costs are then depreciated over the lives of the assets to which they relate.
Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, the removal of residual materials and the remediation of disturbed areas.
Where rehabilitation is conducted systematically over the life of the operation, rather than at the time of closure, provision is made for the estimated outstanding continuous rehabilitation work at each reporting date and the cost is charged to the income statement.
Full revaluations are carried out every year.
Estimated close down and restoration costs are provided for in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbance

Plant and Equipment - unless the assets are to be traded in after 30 June and the replacement assets were already purchased and accounted for as at 30 June.
Movements in the environmental clean up provisions are presented as an operating cost, except for the unwind of the discount which is shown as a borrowing cost.
For any assets or disposal groups classified as NonCurrent Assets “held for sale”, an impairment loss is recognised at any time when the assets carrying value is greater than its fair value less costs to sell.
Remediation procedures generally commence soon after the time the damage, remediation process and estimated remediation costs become known, but may continue for many years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the remediation techniques.
Non-current assets “held for sale” are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as “held for sale”.
As noted above, the ultimate cost of environmental remediation is uncertain and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other locations. The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in quarry reserves or production rates. As a result there could be significant adjustments to the provision for close down and restoration and environmental clean up, which would affect future financial results. Specific Information relating to Council's provisions relating to Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs can be found at Note 26.
(r) Non-Current Assets (or Disposal Groups) “Held for Sale” & Discontinued Operations Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of either (i) their carrying amount and (ii) fair value less costs to sell, if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The exception to this is plant and motor vehicles which are turned over on a regular basis. Plant and motor vehicles are retained in Non Current Assets under the classification of Infrastructure, Property,
Non-current assets classified as “held for sale” are presented separately from the other assets in the Statement of Financial Position. A Discontinued Operation is a component of Council that has been disposed of or is classified as “held for sale” and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement.
(s) Impairment of assets All Council's I,PP&E is subject to an annual assessment of impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where an asset is not held principally for cash generating purposes (for example Infrastructure Assets) and would be replaced if the Council was deprived of it then depreciated replacement cost is used as value in use, otherwise value in use is estimated by using a discounted cash flow model.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Non-financial assets (other than goodwill) that suffered a prior period impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Goodwill & other Intangible Assets that have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortisation are tested annually for impairment.
(t) Payables These amounts represent liabilities and include goods and services provided to the Council prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. The amounts for goods and services are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(u) Borrowings Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Amortisation results in any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are removed from the Statement of Financial Position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
(v) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are expensed.
(w) Provisions Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and other like liabilities are recognised when:
Council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(x) Employee benefits (i) Short Term Obligations Short term employee benefit obligations include liabilities for wages and salaries (including nonmonetary benefits), annual leave and vesting sick leave expected to be wholly settled within the 12 months after the reporting period. Leave liabilities are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date with other short term employee benefit obligations disclosed under payables. These provisions are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Liabilities for non vesting sick leave are recognised at the time when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable, and accordingly no Liability has been recognised in these reports. Wages & salaries, annual leave and vesting sick leave are all classified as Current Liabilities. (ii) Other Long Term Obligations The liability for all long service and annual leave in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date (which is not expected to be wholly settled within the 12 months after the reporting period) are recognised in the provision for employee benefits. These liabilities are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are then discounted using market yields at the reporting date based on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match as closely as possible the estimated future cash outflows. Due to the nature of when and how Long Service Leave can be taken, all Long Service Leave for employees with 4 or more years of service has been classified as Current, as it has been deemed that Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months – even though it is not anticipated that all employees with more than 4 years service (as at reporting date) will apply for and take their leave entitlements in the next 12 months. (iii) Retirement benefit obligations All employees of the Council are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death. Council contributes to various defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans on behalf of its employees.
Defined Benefit Plans A liability or asset in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans would ordinarily be recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, and measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date plus unrecognised actuarial gains (less unrecognised actuarial losses) less the fair value of the superannuation fund’s assets at that date and any unrecognised past service cost. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from membership of the fund to the reporting date, calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. However, when this information is not reliably available, Council can account for its obligations to defined benefit plans on the same basis as its obligations to defined contribution plans – i.e. as an expense when they become payable. Council is party to an Industry Defined Benefit Plan under the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, named the “Local Government Superannuation Scheme – Pool B” Defined Contribution Plans Contributions to Defined Contribution Plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. (iv) Employee Benefit On-Costs Council has recognised at year end the aggregate on-cost liabilities arising from employee benefits, and in particular those on-cost liabilities that will arise when payment of current employee benefits is made in future periods. These amounts include Superannuation and Workers Compensation expenses which will be payable upon the future payment of certain Leave Liabilities accrued as at 30/06/14.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Council does not self insure.
The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the ATO is included as a current asset or current liability in the Statement of Financial Position.
(z) Allocation between current and non-current assets & liabilities
Operating cash flows within the Statement of Cash Flows are on a gross basis, ie. they are inclusive of GST where applicable.
(y) Self insurance
In the determination of whether an asset or liability is classified as current or non-current, consideration is given to the time when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council’s operational cycle. Exceptions In the case of liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months (such as vested long service leave), the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the next 12 months. In the case of inventories that are “held for trading”, these are also classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months.
(aa) Taxes The Council is exempt from both Commonwealth Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Council does however have to comply with both Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST). Goods & Services Tax (GST) Income, expenses and assets are all recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the revenue / expense. Receivables and payables within the Statement of Financial Postion are stated inclusive of any applicable GST.
Investing and Financing cash flows are treated on a net basis (where recoverable form the ATO), ie. they are exclusive of GST. Instead, the GST component of investing and financing activity cash flows which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO are classified as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from (or payable to) the ATO.
(ab) New accounting standards and interpretations Certain new (or amended) accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for reporting periods ending 30 June 2014. Council has not adopted any of these standards early. Council’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below. Applicable to implications:
Local
Government
with
AASB 9 Financial Instruments, associated standards, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and transitional disclosures and AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, Materiality and Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2017) AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2015 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular Council’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading. Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss although there is currently a proposal by the IASB to introduce a Fair value through Other Comprehensive Income category for debt instruments. There will be no impact on Council’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and Council does not have any such liabilities. The de-recognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Council has not yet fully assessed the impact on the reporting financial position and performance on adoption of AASB 9. Applicable to Local Government implications for Council;
but
no
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for NonFinancial Assets (effective for 30 June 2015 Financial Statements)
the Consolidation and Joint Arrangements Standards (effective for 30 June 2015 Financial Statements for not-for-profit entities) This suite of five new and amended standards address the accounting for joint arrangements, consolidated financial statements and associated disclosures. AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However, the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. Control exists when the investor can use its power to affect the amount of its returns. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. Council does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on its composition. AASB 11 introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements.
There are no changes to reported financial position or performance from AASB 2013 – 3, however additional disclosures may be required.
The focus is no longer on the legal structure of joint arrangements, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by the parties to the joint arrangement.
Applicable to Local Government but not relevant to Council at this stage;
Based on the assessment of rights and obligations, a joint arrangement will be classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture.
AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, revised AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements and AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, and the choice to proportionately consolidate will no longer be permitted.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Parties to a joint operation will account their share of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities in much the same way as under the previous standard. AASB 11 also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not share joint control. Council's investment in the joint venture partnership will be classified as a joint venture under the new rules. As Council already applies the equity method in accounting for this investment, AASB 11 will not have any impact on the amounts recognised in its financial statements. AASB 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, AASB 10 and AASB 11, and replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in AASB 127 and AASB 128.
Council in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
(ac) Rounding of amounts Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars.
(ad) Comparative Figures To ensure comparability with the current reporting period’s figures, some comparative period line items and amounts may have been reclassified or individually reported for the first time within these financial statements and/or the notes.
Application of this standard by Council will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements, but will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to Council's investments. Amendments to AASB 128 provide clarification that an entity continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure its retained interest as part of ownership changes where a joint venture becomes an associate, and vice versa. The amendments also introduce a “partial disposal” concept. Council is still assessing the impact of these amendments. Council does not expect to adopt the new standards before their operative date. They would therefore be first applied in the financial statements for the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2015. Not applicable to Local Government per se; There are no other standards that are “not yet effective” and expected to have a material impact on

Note 15. Financial Risk Management $ '000
Risk Management Council's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including (1) price risk, (2) credit risk, (3) liquidity risk and (4) interest rate risk. The Council's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Council. Council does not engage in transactions expressed in foreign currencies and is therefore not subject to foreign currency risk. Financial risk management is carried out by Council's Finance Section under policies approved by the Council. A comparison by category of the carrying amounts and fair values of Council's Financial Assets & Financial Liabilities recognised in the financial statements is presented below. Carrying Value

Fair Value is determined as follows: - Cash & Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Payables - estimated to be the carrying value which approximates market value. - Borrowings & Held to Maturity Investments - are based upon estimated future cash flows discounted by the current market interest rates applicable to assets & liabilities with similar risk profiles, unless quoted market prices are available. - Financial Assets classified (i) "at fair value through profit & loss" or (ii) Available for Sale - are based upon quoted market prices (in active markets for identical investments) at the reporting date or independent valuation. Refer to Note 27 - Fair Value Measurement for information regarding the fair value of financial assets & liabilities

Note 15. Financial Risk Management (continued) $ '000
(a) Cash & Cash Equivalents, Financial assets 'at fair value through the profit & loss' "Available-for-sale" financial assets & "Held-to-maturity" Investments Council's objective is to maximise its return on cash & investments whilst maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and preserving capital. Council's Finance area manages the Cash & Investments portfolio with the assistance of independent advisors. Council has an Investment Policy which complies with the Local Government Act & Minister's Investment Order. This Policy is regularly reviewed by Council and it's staff and an Investment Report is tabled before Council on a monthly basis setting out the portfolio breakup and its performance. The risks associated with the investments held are: - Price Risk - the risk that the capital value of Investments may fluctuate due to changes in market prices, whether there changes are caused by factors specific to individual financial instruments or their issuers or are caused by factors affecting similar instruments traded in a market. - Interest Rate Risk - the risk that movements in interest rates could affect returns and income. - Credit Risk - the risk that the investment counterparty will not complete their obligations particular to a financial instrument, resulting in a financial loss to Council - be it of a capital or income nature. Council manages these risks (amongst other measures) by diversifying its portfolio and only purchasing investments with high credit ratings or capital guarantees. Council also seeks advice from independent advisers before placing any funds in Cash Equivalents & Investments. The following represents a summary of the sensitivity of Council's Income Statement and Accumulated Surplus (for the reporting period) due to a change in either the price of a financial asset or the interest rates applicable. It is assumed that the change in interest rates would have been constant throughout the reporting period.

(b) Receivables Council's major receivables comprise (i) Rates & Annual charges and (ii) User Charges & Fees. The major risk associated with these receivables is credit risk - the risk that debts due and payable to Council may not be repaid in full. Council manages this risk by monitoring outstanding debt and employing stringent debt recovery procedures. It also encourages ratepayers to pay their rates by the due date through incentives. Credit risk on rates and annual charges is minimised by the ability of Council to secure a charge over the land relating to the debts - that is, the land can be sold to recover the debt. Council is also able to charge interest on overdue rates & annual charges at higher than market rates which further encourages the payment of debt. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk, whether through exposure to individual customers, specific industry sectors and/or regions. The level of outstanding receivables is reported to Council monthly and benchmarks are set and monitored for acceptable collection performance. Council makes suitable provision for doubtful receivables as required and carries out credit checks on most non-rate debtors. There are no material receivables that have been subjected to a re-negotiation of repayment terms. A profile of Council's receivables credit risk at balance date follows: 2014

(c) Payables & Borrowings Payables & Borrowings are both subject to liquidity risk - the risk that insufficient funds may be on hand to meet payment obligations as and when they fall due. Council manages this risk by monitoring its cash flow requirements and liquidity levels and maintaining an adequate cash buffer. Payment terms can (in extenuating circumstances) also be extended & overdraft facilities utilised as required.

Note 16. Material Budget Variations $ '000
Council's Original Financial Budget for 13/14 was adopted by the Council on 26 June 2014. While the Income Statement included in this General Purpose Financial Report must disclose the Original Budget adopted by Council, the Local Government Act requires Council to review its Financial Budget on a Quarterly Basis, so that it is able to manage the various variations between actuals versus budget that invariably occur throughout the year. This Note sets out the details of MATERIAL VARIATIONS between Council's Original Budget and its Actual results for the year as per the Income Statement - even though such variations may have been adjusted for during each Quarterly Budget Review. Note that for Variations* of Budget to Actual :
Material Variations represent those variances that amount to 10% or more of the original budgeted figure. F = Favourable Budget Variation, U = Unfavourable Budget Variation

Note 18. Contingencies & Other Assets/Liabilities Not Recognised $ '000
The following assets and liabilities do not qualify for recognition in the Statement of Financial Position, but their knowledge & disclosure is considered relevant to the users of Council's Financial Report.
(ii) Statewide Limited
LIABILITIES NOT RECOGNISED:
Membership includes the potential to share in either the net assets or liabilities of the fund depending on its past performance. Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of the Net Assets or Liabilities reflects Councils contributions to the pool and the result of insurance claims within each of the Fund Years.
1. Guarantees (i) Defined Benefit Superannuation Contribution Plans Council participates in an employer sponsored Defined Benefit Superannuation Scheme, and makes contributions as determined by the Superannuation Scheme's Trustees. Member Councils bear responsibility of ensuring there are sufficient funds available to pay out the required benefits as they fall due. The Schemes most recent full actuarial review indicated that the Net Assets of the Scheme were not sufficient to meet the accrued benefits of the Schemes Defined Benefit member category with member Councils required to make significantly higher contributions in future years. however is unable to provide Council with an accurate estimate of its share of the net deficit and accordingly Council has not recorded any net liability from it's Defined Benefit Scheme obligations in accordance with AASB 119. Future contributions made to the defined benefit scheme to rectify the net deficit position will be recognised as an expense when they become payable - similar to the accounting for Defined Contributions Plans.
Council is a member of Statewide Mutual, a mutual pool scheme providing liability insurance to Local Government.
The future realisation and finalisation of claims incurred but not reported to 30/6 this year may result in future liabilities or benefits as a result of past events that Council will be required to fund or share in respectively. (iii) StateCover Limited Council is a member of StateCover Mutual Limited and holds a partly paid share in the entity. StateCover is a company providing workers compensation insurance cover to the NSW Local Government Industry and specifically Council. capital base as a result of the company's past performance and/or claims experience or as a result of any increased prudential requirements from APRA. These future equity contributions would be required to maintain the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum level of Net Assets in accordance with its Licence Requirements. (iv) Other Guarantees Council has provided no other Guarantees other than those listed above.

Note 18. Contingencies & Other Assets/Liabilities Not Recognised (continued) $ '000
LIABILITIES NOT RECOGNISED (continued):
(iii) Potential Land Acquisitions due to Planning Restrictions imposed by Council (continued)
2. Other Liabilities (i) Third Party Claims The Council is involved from time to time in various claims incidental to the ordinary course of business including claims for damages relating to its services. Council believes that it is appropriately covered for all claims through its Insurance Coverage and does not expect any material liabilities to eventuate.
As a result, where notified in writing by the various owners, Council will be required to purchase these land parcels. At reporting date, reliable estimates as to the value of any potential liability (& subsequent land asset) from such potential acquisitions has not been possible. ASSETS NOT RECOGNISED:
(ii) S94 Plans
(i) Land Under Roads
Council levies Section 94/94A Contributions upon various development across the Council area through the required Contributions Plans.
As permitted under AASB 1051, Council has elected not to bring to account Land Under Roads that it owned or controlled up to & including 30/06/08.
As part of these Plans, Council has received funds for which it will be required to expend the monies in accordance with those Plans.
(ii) Infringement Notices/Fines
As well, these Plans indicate proposed future expenditure to be undertaken by Council, which will be funded by making levies and receipting funds in future years or where a shortfall exists by the use of Council's General Funds. These future expenses do not yet qualify as liabilities as of the Reporting Date, but represent Councils intention to spend funds in the manner and timing set out in those Plans. (iii) Potential Land Acquisitions due to Planning Restrictions imposed by Council
Fines & Penalty Income, the result of Council issuing Infringement Notices is followed up and collected by the Infringement Processing Bureau. Councils Revenue Recognition policy for such income is to account for it as revenue on receipt. Accordingly, at Year End, there is a potential asset due to Council representing issued but unpaid Infringement Notices. Due to the limited information available on the status, value and duration of outstanding Notices, Council is unable to determine the value of outstanding income.
Council has classified a number of privately owned land parcels as Local Open Space or Bushland.
Note 19. Controlled Entities, Associated Entities & Interests in Joint Ventures Council has no interest in any Controlled Entities, Associated Entities or Joint Ventures. page 64

Note 23. Events occurring after the Reporting Date Events that occur between the end of the reporting period (ending 30 June 2014) and the date when the financial statements are "authorised for issue" have been taken into account in preparing these statements. Council has adopted the date of receipt of the Auditors' Report as the applicable "authorised for issue" date relating to these General Purpose Financial Statements. Accordingly, the "authorised for issue" date is 31/10/14. Events that occur after the Reporting Period represent one of two types: (i) Events that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the Reporting Period These financial statements (and the figures therein) incorporate all "adjusting events" that provided evidence of conditions that existed at 30 June 2014. (ii) Events that provide evidence of conditions that arose after the Reporting Period These financial statements (& figures therein) do not incorporate any "non-adjusting events" that have occurred after 30 June 2014 and which are only indicative of conditions that arose after 30 June 2014. Council is unaware of any material or significant "non-adjusting events" that should be disclosed.

Under AASB 116 - Property, Plant & Equipment, where the use of an asset results in the obligation to dismantle or remove the asset and restore the site on which the asset stands, an estimate of such costs is required to be included in the cost of the asset. An equivalent liability must be recognised under AASB 137 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. The provision has been calculated by determining the present value of the future expenditures expected to be incurred. The discount rate used is the risk free borrowing rate applicable to Council.

Note 27. Fair Value Measurement $ '000
The Council measures the following asset and liability classes at fair value on a recurring basis: - Infrastructure, Property, Plant and Equipment - Investment Property - Financial Assets & Liabilities The fair value of assets and liabilities must be estimated in accordance with various Accounting Standards for either recognition and measurement requirements or for disclosure purposes. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to be assigned to a "level" in the fair value hierarchy as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). (1) The following table presents all assets and liabilities that have been measured & recognised at fair values: Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total 2014 Recurring Fair Value Measurements Financial Assets Investments - "Held for Trading" - "Held to Maturity" Receivables Cash on hand and at bank Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities Payables Loans / Advances Total Financial Liabilities

Note 27. Fair Value Measurement (continued) $ '000
(3) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 Fair Values Where Council is unable to derive Fair Valuations using quoted market prices of identical assets (ie. Level 1 inputs) Council instead utilises a spread of both observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) and unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The Fair Valuation techniques Council has employed while utilising Level 2 and Level 3 inputs are as follows: Financial Assets Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial assets are Cash and Cash Equivalents, Term Deposits, Receivables and Capital Protect Notes. The Term Deposits (Held to Maturity), Cash at Bank and Receivables are reported at face value. The Capital Protected Note is valued monthly by Longreach Global Capital Pty Limited. The monthly valuation represents the mid point valuation provided by the Calculation Agent and do not take into account any unpaid fees due on the issue or any other costs that the issuer may charge by way of a bid/offer spread to buy back the stock. Redemption prices can be obtained from Longreach Global Capital Pty Limited. All issues can be redeemed early. As this asset is identified as Capital Protected At Maturity it will be subject to market prices at that time and the redemption price may result in receiving less than the principal invested.
Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment Land Level 2 valuation inputs were used to value land held in freehold title (investment and noninvestment) as well as land used for special purposes which is restricted in use under current zoning rules. Sales prices of comparable land sites in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most significant inputs into this valuation approach are price per square metre. There were also some parks and reserves for which there was no observable market evidence of sales prices for comparable sites in close proximity. These were subsequently valued at the level 3 valuation input hierarchy by using the professional judgment of a Registered Valuer who adjusted the price per square metre of sales from sites not in close proximity which provided only a low level of comparability. Buildings Level 2 valuation inputs These were used to determine the fair value of a range of properties. This included the bulk of residential and commercial properties. The residential properties fair value has been derived from sales prices of comparable properties after adjusting for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most significant inputs into this valuation approach are price per square metre. Level 3 valuation inputs Specialised buildings were valued using the cost approach using professionally qualified Registered Valuers. The approach estimated the replacement cost for each building by componentising the buildings into significant parts with different useful lives and taking into account a range of factors. While the unit rates based on square metres could be supported from market evidence (level 2) other inputs (such as estimates of residual value, useful life, pattern of consumption and asset condition) required extensive professional judgement and impacted significantly on the final determination of fair value. As such these assets were classified as having been valued using level 3 valuation inputs. page 72

(3) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 Fair Values (continued) Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment (continued) Roads As at 01 July 2013 a comprehensive revaluation was undertaken by APV only for all sealed road assets and associated classes. The main level 3 inputs used are derived and evaluated as follows – Asset Condition – APV inspected 100% sample of each asset type of this comprehensive valuation. Relationship between asset consumption rating scale and the level of consumed service potential – Under the cost approach the estimated cost to replace the asset is calculated and then adjusted to take account of an accumulated depreciation. In order to achieve this valuer determines an asset consumption rating scale for each asset type based on the inter-relationship between a range of factors. These factors and their relationship to the fair value require professional judgment and include asset condition, legal and commercial obsolescence and the determination of key depreciation related assumptions such as residual value, useful life and pattern of consumptio of the future economic benefit. The consumption rating scales were based initially on the past experience of the valuation firm and industry guides and were then updated to take into account the experience and understanding of council’s own engineers, asset management and finance staff. The results of the valuation were further evaluated by confirmation against council’s own understanding of the assets and the level of remaining service potential. Water and Sewer Council completed a revaluation of its water supply, sererage and stormwater assets in 2007 using the unit rate as published in the Department of Primary Industries - Office of Water - NSW Reference Rates Manual of valuation. This 2014 Reference Rates Manual for Valuation of Water Supply, Sewerage and Stormwater Assets updates the 2003 edition of the manual and was prepared by the Urban Water branch of the NSW Office of Water. NSW Local Water Utilities are required to determine the fair value and current replacement cost depreciation for their water supply, sewerage and stormwater assets in accordance with this Manual. The Reference Rates shown are for June 2014 and are based on competitive contract prices obtained by NSW Public Works for water supply and sewerage projects within NSW, supplemented by published rates for water supply, sewerage and stormwater works and also rates obtained from a number of Local Water Utilities and other agencies.

Background (i)
These Special Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared for the use by both Council and the Division of Local Government in fulfilling their requirements under National Competition Policy.
(ii)
The principle of competitive neutrality is based on the concept of a "level playing field" between persons/entities competing in a market place, particularly between private and public sector competitors. Essentially, the principle is that government businesses, whether Commonwealth, State or Local, should operate without net competitive advantages over other businesses as a result of their public ownership.
(iii)
For Council, the principle of competitive neutrality & public reporting applies only to declared business activities. These include (a) those activities classified by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as business activities being water supply, sewerage services, abattoirs, gas production and reticulation and (b) those activities with a turnover of over $2 million that Council has formally declared as a Business Activity (defined as Category 1 activities).
(iv)
In preparing these financial statements for Council's self classified Category 1 businesses and ABS defined activities, councils must (a) adopt a corporatisation model and (b) apply full cost attribution including tax equivalent regime payments & debt guarantee fees (where the business benefits from councils borrowing position by comparison with commercial rates).

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Special Purpose Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies These financial statements are a Special Purpose Financial Statements (SPFS) prepared for use by Council and the Office of Local Government. For the purposes of these statements, the Council is not a reporting not-for-profit entity. The figures presented in these special purpose financial statements, unless otherwise stated, have been prepared in accordance with:
the recognition and measurement criteria of relevant Australian Accounting Standards,
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) & Australian Accounting Interpretations. The disclosures in these special purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: the Local Government Act and Regulation, and the Local Government Code of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting. The statements are also prepared on an accruals basis, based on historic costs and do not take into account changing money values nor current values of non-current assets (except where specifically stated). Certain taxes and other costs (appropriately described) have been imputed for the purposes of the National Competition Policy.
The pricing & costing guidelines outline the process for identifying and allocating costs to activities and provide a standard of disclosure requirements. These disclosures are reflected in Council’s pricing and/or financial reporting systems and include taxation equivalents; council subsidies; return on investments (rate of return); and dividends paid.
Declared Business Activities In accordance with Pricing & Costing for Council Businesses - A Guide to Competitive Neutrality, Council has declared that the following are to be considered as business activities: Category 1 (where gross operating turnover is over $2 million)
a. Moree Water Supplies Comprising the net assets & operations of the water supply systems servicing the towns of Moree, Mungindi, Boggabilla, Pallamallawa and surrounding villages of Moree Plains Shire, each of which is established as a separate Special Rate Fund. b. Moree Sewerage Service Comprising the net assets & operations of the sewerage reticulation and treatment system servicing the towns of Moree, Mungindi, and surrounding villages of Moree Plains Shire, which is established as a separate Special Rate Fund.
Category 2 National Competition Policy Council has adopted the principle of ‘competitive neutrality’ to its business activities as part of the national competition policy which is being applied throughout Australia at all levels of government. The framework for its application is set out in the June 1996 Government Policy statement on the “Application of National Competition Policy to Local Government”. The “Pricing & Costing for Council Businesses A Guide to Competitive Neutrality” issued by the Office of Local Government in July 1997 has also been adopted.
(where gross operating turnover is less than $2 million)
a. Gwydir Day Care Centre Comprising the net assets & operations of Gwydir Day Care which provides low cost day care services to the town of Moree. b. Max Centre Comprising the net assets & operations of the Max Centre which is a large commercial building containing retail outlets, service providers and restaurants that provides rental income to the Council.

Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Special Purpose Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies Monetary Amounts Amounts shown in the financial statements are in Australian currency and rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars, with the exception of some figures disclosed in Note 2 (Water Supply Best Practice Management Disclosures) and Note 3 (Sewerage Best Practice Management Disclosures). As required by the NSW Office of Water (Department of Primary Industries) the amounts shown in Notes 2 and Note 3 are disclosed in whole dollars.
The payment of taxation equivalent charges, referred in the Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage Guides to as a “Dividend for Taxation equivalent”, may be applied for any purpose allowed under the Local Government Act, 1993. Achievement of substantial compliance against the guidelines for Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage is not a prerequisite for the payment of the tax equivalent charges, however the payment must not exceed $3 per assessment.
Income Tax
(i) Taxation Equivalent Charges Council is liable to pay various taxes and financial duties in undertaking its business activities. Where this is the case, they are disclosed in these statements as a cost of operations just like all other costs. However, where Council is exempt from paying taxes which are generally paid by private sector businesses (such as income tax), equivalent tax payments have been applied to all Council nominated business activities and are reflected in these financial statements. For the purposes of disclosing comparative information relevant to the private sector equivalent, the following taxation equivalents have been applied to all council nominated business activities (this does not include council’s non-business activities): Notional Rate Applied % Corporate Income Tax Rate – 30% Land Tax – The first $412,000 of combined land values attracts 0%. From $412,001 to $2,519,000 the rate is 1.6% + $100. For the remaining combined land value that exceeds $2,519,000, a premium marginal rate of 2.0% applies. Payroll Tax – 5.45% on the value of taxable salaries and wages in excess of $750,000. In accordance with the guidelines for Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage, a payment for the amount calculated as the annual tax equivalent charges (excluding income tax) must be paid from Water Supply and Sewerage Business activities.
An income tax equivalent has been applied on the profits of each reported Business Activity. Whilst income tax is not a specific cost for the purpose of pricing a good or service, it needs to be taken into account of in terms of assessing the rate of return required on capital invested. Accordingly, the return on capital invested is set at a pre-tax level (gain/(loss) from ordinary activities before capital amounts) as would be applied by a private sector competitor – that is, it should include a provision equivalent to the corporate income tax rate, currently 30%. Income Tax is only applied where a positive gain/(loss) from ordinary activities before capital amounts has been achieved. Since this taxation equivalent is notional - that is, it is payable to the “Council” as the owner of business operations, it represents an internal payment and has no effect on the operations of the council. Accordingly, there is no need for disclosure of internal charges in Council's General Purpose Financial Statements. The rate applied of 30% is the equivalent company tax rate prevalent as at balance date. Local Government Rates & Charges A calculation of the equivalent rates and charges payable on all Category 1 businesses has been applied to all land assets owned or exclusively used by the Business Activity. Loan & Debt Guarantee Fees
page 11
SPFS 2014
_
Moree Plains Shire Council Notes to the Special Purpose Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2014
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies The debt guarantee fee is designed to ensure that council business activities face “true” commercial borrowing costs in line with private sector competitors. In order to calculate a debt guarantee fee, council has determined what the differential borrowing rate would have been between the commercial rate and the council’s borrowing rate for its business activities.
As a minimum, business activities should generate a return equal to the Commonwealth 10 year bond rate which is 3.56% at 30/6/14. The actual rate of return achieved by each Business Activity is disclosed at the foot of each respective Income Statement.
(iv) Dividends (ii) Subsidies Government policy requires that subsidies provided to customers and the funding of those subsidies must be explicitly disclosed. Subsidies occur where council provides services on a less than cost recovery basis. This option is exercised on a range of services in order for council to meet its community service obligations. Accordingly, Subsidies disclosed (in relation to National Competition Policy) represents the difference between revenue generated from ‘rate of return’ pricing and revenue generated from prices set by the council in any given financial year. The overall effect of subsidies is contained within the Income Statement of each reported Business Activity.
(iii) Return on Investments (Rate of Return) The Policy statement requires that councils with Category 1 businesses “would be expected to generate a return on capital funds employed that is comparable to rates of return for private businesses operating in a similar field”.
Council is not required to pay dividends to either itself (as owner of a range of businesses) or to any external entities. Local Government Water Supply and Sewerage Businesses are permitted to pay an annual dividend from its water supply or sewerage business surplus. The dividend, calculated and approved in accordance with the Best Practice Management Guidelines, must not exceed either: (i)
50% of this surplus in any one year, or
(ii) the number of water supply or sewerage assessments at 30 June 2014 multiplied by $30 (less the payment for tax equivalent charges, not exceeding $3 per assessment).
In accordance with the guidelines for Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage, a Dividend Payment form, Statement of Compliance, Unqualified Independent Financial Audit Report and Compliance Audit Report are required to be submitted to the NSW Office of Water prior to making the dividend and only after it has approved the payment.
Such funds are subsequently available for meeting commitments or financing future investment strategies. The Rate of Return on Capital is calculated as follows: Operating Result before Capital Income + Interest Expense Written Down Value of I,PP&E as at 30 June

Satisfactory is defined as “satisfying expectations or needs, leaving no room for complaint, causing satisfaction, adequate”. The estimated cost to bring assets to a satisfactory standard is the amount of money that is required to be spent on an asset to ensure that it is in a satisfactory standard. This estimated cost should not include any planned enhancements (ie.to heighten, intensify or improve the facilities). Required Annual Maintenance is “what should be spent to maintain assets in a satisfactory standard. Actual Maintenance is what has been spent in the current year to maintain the assets. Actual Maintenance may be higher or lower than the required annual maintenance due to the timing of when the maintenance actually occurs. Written Down Value is in accordance with Note 9 of Council's General Purpose Financial Statements

This ratio shows what proportion the backlog is against the total value of a Council’s infrastructure.
A gradual improvement can be seen in this ratio due largely to the investment in the sealed road network. The unsealed road network continues to be an area where significant backlog remains.

Notes 1
The Notional General Income will not reconcile with rate income in the financial statements in the corresponding year. The statements are reported on an accrual accounting basis which include amounts that relate to prior years' rates income.
2
Adjustments account for changes in the number of assessments and any increase or decrease in land value occurring during the year. The adjustments are called "supplementary valuations" as defined in the Valuation of Land Act 1916.
3
The Special Variation Percentage is inclusive of the Rate Peg percentage and where applicable crown land adjustment.
4
Valuation objections are unexpected changes in land values as a result of land owners successfully objecting to the land value issued by the Valuer-General. Councils can claim the value of the income lost due to valuation objections in any single year.
5
Unused catch-up amounts will be deducted if they are not caught up within 2 years. Usually councils will have a nominal carry forward figure. These amounts can be adjusted for in setting the rates in a future year. page 23
