2 | MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL - ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 Message from the Mayor and Chief Executive Officer

On behalf of Maroondah City Council, we are pleased to present the proposed 2017/18 Budget to the Maroondah community.

The community’s vision as outlined in Maroondah 2040: Our Future Together is the foundation from which Council shapes its long term plans for the municipality. Following extensive community and key stakeholder consultation this long term vision for the future of Maroondah was adopted in late 2014. The community aspirations and priorities are grouped into eight broad outcome areas that provide the structure for the new Maroondah City Council Plan 2017-2021 (Council Plan).

The Council Plan has been developed based on the community directions in Maroondah 2040 and a range of community consultation activities undertaken in recent months. The Council Plan sets the key directions and priority actions for the medium term to work towards the aspirations of the Maroondah community looking ahead to the year 2040. The community outcomes areas (Strategic Objectives) and 35 priority actions (Major Initiatives and Initiatives) are detailed in Section 1 of this document.

The Maroondah City Council budget for 2017/18 links to the achievement of the Council Plan as part of an integrated planning framework. The 2017/18 budget outlines the provision of financial resources for the next 12 months and details how these resources will be applied to meet the actions and initiatives detailed in the Council Plan, as well as delivering the more than 120 services and the extensive range of programs and activities that Council provides to the Maroondah community.

Budget Highlights

The 2017/18 budget contains 35 initiatives, including 15 major initiatives, as identified in the Council Plan. These initiatives will contribute to the achievement of the four-year Council Plan key directions and ultimately the preferred outcome as outlined in Maroondah 2040.

These actions are detailed in Section 1 as major initiatives or initiatives. Some major initiatives include:

• Commence construction to redevelop both the HE Parker Sporting Pavilion in Heathmont and the Silcock Sporting Pavilion in Croydon;

• Complete the design works, undertake operational readiness planning, and construct the new

HE Parker Multi Sports Complex;

• Develop a climate change and risk mitigation strategy; and

• Work in partnership to implement intersection improvement works at the corner of Maroondah Highway and Dorset Road in Croydon North.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 5 The Rate Rise

The Local Government (Fair Go Rates) Act was passed by the Victorian Parliament in November 2015. The Act introduced a rate cap based on CPI plus or minus any adjustment, and allows for multiple caps to be set by the Minister for Local Government and variations to the cap should Councils obtain approval to raise rate revenue by a greater amount than that imposed by the cap.

The Minister for Local Government has determined that for 2017/18 the average property rate will rise by 2%. Maroondah City Council will not be seeking a variation to the rate cap.

As this is not a revaluation year, valuations will be as per the General Revaluation dated 1 January 2016 (as amended by supplementary valuations). The waste service charge incorporating kerbside collection and recycling will increase by 4%.

Further information on Rates and Charges can be found in Item 7 of this document.

Rate Cap Impact

Council will continue to manage the challenge of a rate capped environment through a discipline and thorough budget preparation process. The identification of savings and continuous review of services, combined with supplementary rate growth will assist in managing the challenges of rate capping. Council has aimed to manage this challenge without impacting the capital works program significantly, as it aims to continue meeting its annual asset renewal targets as well as providing a funding base that allows for new infrastructure delivery to the community.

In addition to the issue of a cap on rates, Maroondah also faces a range of other challenges, which include:

• Funding the renewal of infrastructure and community assets;

• Continued cost shifting from the Victorian State Government

• Continued population growth within the municipality;

• Funding expectations of enhanced service provision; and

• Reduction in funding from the Victorian Grants Commission.

Financial Sustainability

To ensure financial sustainability into the longer term, Council has aimed to generate sufficient revenue from operations to meet its financial obligations and to fund asset replacement and asset acquisitions.

6 | MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL - ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 The Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO) has identified six financial sustainability risk indicators (over a five-year period) to assess the potential financial sustainability risks of Council’s. These ratios are outlined in Section 14.

In reviewing the input and assumptions in its Long Term Financial Strategy, Council was mindful of the outcomes in relation to the financial sustainability risk indicators. The predicted outcomes for Council indicate that the risk assessment criteria as advised by VAGO show favourable results across all indicators.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 7 Budget Influences

The 2017/18 budget sets the scene for Council’s continued long-term viability. One of the key measures of Council’s financial sustainability is the ability to maintain an underlying surplus over the longer term. Despite some significant external financial influences over which Council has no influence or control, Council has been able to achieve annual operating surpluses throughout the strategy period. This budget projects a surplus of $6.57 million for 2017/18, and the adjusted underlying result is a surplus of $4.57 million after adjusting for capital grants and contributions.

External Influences

In preparing the 2017/18 budget, several external influences have been taken into consideration because they will impact significantly on the services delivered by Council in the budget period when compared to the 2016/17 budget. These include:

• The Victorian State Government has introduced a cap on average property rate increases from 2016/17. The cap for 2017/18 has been set at 2% (2016/17: 2.5%);

• Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Victoria is forecast to be 2% for the 2017/18 year (Victorian Department of Treasury & Finance 2016/17 Budget update);

• The Victorian Wage Price Index is projected to be 2.5% in 2017/18;

• Increase of 2% (or $1.24 per tonne) in the levy payable to the Victorian Government upon disposal of waste into landfill. The levy has increased from $9 per tonne in 2008/09 to $63.27 per tonne in 2017/18 (703% increase in 9 years) and has added an estimated $1.14 million to Council’s costs

• The Fire Services Property Levy will continue to be collected by Council on behalf of the Victorian Government under the Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012;

• An overall increase in total capital grants & contributions to be received of $0.51 million, including Federal funding for HE Parker Multi Sports Complex of $1.0 million and a decrease in the Roads to Recovery program of $0.47 million;

• The Federal Government announced in its 2014/15 Budget that it would pause indexation of the total national pool of financial assistance grants to local government for three years (2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17). This indexation pause and changes to expectations regarding population growth mean a reduction of $0.73 million in financial assistance grants is anticipated for the 2017/18 period.

• Ongoing cost shifting. This is where Local Government provides a service to the community on behalf of the State/Federal Government. Over time the funds received by local governments either reduce, disappear, or do not increase in line with real cost increases.

• Utility costs (electricity, gas and water) continue to increase higher than CPI;

• Public Open Space contributions are forecast to remain at 2016/17 levels of $3.2 million.

8 | MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL - ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 9 Internal Influences

As well as external influences, there are also several internal influences which are expected to have a significant impact on the 2017/18 budget. These are set out below:

• Depreciation is a major influence on the budget as it appears as a cost against the Comprehensive Income Statement. Depreciation for 2017/18 is $21.08 million;

• Development of the Croydon Town Square, including community engagement, completion of detailed design and construction works;

• Preparation and implementation of a new Maroondah Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017- 2021;

• A municipal wide review of Council’s neighbourhood character and heritage controls

• Continuation of the construction of Lincoln Road, Croydon, east of Dorset Road;

• Development of a Female Participation Strategy for physical activity $0.01 million.

This budget has been developed through a rigorous process of consultation and review and Council endorses it as a balanced, sustainable and responsible platform to ensure enhanced services, protection of Council’s $1.5 billion in net assets, the delivery of extensive capital projects, a surplus of $6.57 million, and a financially prudent future for our community.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 11 1. Link to the Council Plan

This section describes how the Annual Budget links to the achievement of the Council Plan as part of an integrated planning framework. This framework guides the Council in identifying community needs and aspirations over the long term (Maroondah 2040 Community Vision), medium term (Council Plan 2017-2021) and short term (Service Delivery Plans and Annual Budget) and then holding itself accountable (Annual Report and Audited Statements).

1.1 Council Planning and Performance Framework

Council’s strategic documents are linked to an Integrated Planning Framework. Council’s Integrated Planning Framework ensures that all of Council’s activities and financial resources are aligned in order to meet the aspirations, needs and expectations of the Maroondah community. The framework ensures a clear linkage between community needs and aspirations, vision, strategies, policies and the day-to-day activities of Council.

Figure 1: Maroondah City Council’s Integrated Planning Framework

12 | MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL - ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 This framework is underpinned by the shared long term community vision outlined in Maroondah 2040: Our Future Together, which was developed and then adopted in 2014 in conjunction with the community. The community aspirations and priorities for the future of Maroondah have been grouped into eight broad outcome areas that provide the structure for the Council Plan 2017-2021 (Council Plan). These community outcome areas comprise:

 A safe, healthy and active community  A prosperous and learning community  A vibrant and culturally rich community  A clean, green and sustainable community  An accessible and connected community  An attractive, thriving and well-built community  An inclusive and diverse community  A well governed and empowered community

The strategic direction through Maroondah 2040, the Council Plan, and the Long Term Financial Strategy has resulted in detailed service delivery plans across each of Council’s service areas. These plans are reviewed annually to meet community needs and expectations.

The framework both feeds into and is supported by a number of other key planning documents – in particular Council’s annual budget, legislated plans and strategies and a broad range of supporting strategies and policies adopted by Council.

To ensure Council has the capacity to work towards the achievement of the Maroondah 2040 Community Vision, a Long Term Financial Strategy has been prepared to guide the financial resources of Council over the next 10 years. This strategy is updated annually.

In response to the Long Term Financial Strategy, a medium-term strategic resource plan is included within the Council Plan to provide a framework for Council’s financial, physical and human resources over the next four years. This Strategic Resource Plan outlines the allocation of resources to work on the key directions and priority actions outlined in the Council Plan.

From the Strategic Resource Plan evolves an Annual Budget that provides specific targets in relation to financial resources for the next financial year and a framework to ensure strategies and commitments are transformed into ‘on the ground’ results. The Annual Budget specifies goals against which Council can measure its progress and performance whilst also articulating sources of revenue and how that revenue is spent in delivering services to the community.

Notes to indicators

Indicators of the long term financial sustainability of Council are detailed in section 14 Long Term Financial Strategy

1 Adjusted underlying result – An indicator of the sustainable operating result required to enable Council to continue to provide core services and meet its objectives. There is an improvement in financial performance expected over the period, although Council's cash reserves are decreasing as a result of the debt repayment.

2 Working capital – The proportion of current liabilities represented by current assets. Working capital is forecast to increase from 2016/17 to 2017/18. This trend is forecast to remain stable in later years with the ratio at a very healthy level.

3 Debt compared to rates - Trend indicates Council's reducing reliance on debt against its annual rate revenue through redemption of long term debt.

4 Asset renewal - This percentage indicates the extent of Council's renewals against its depreciation charge (an indication of the decline in value of its existing capital assets). A percentage greater than 100 indicates Council is maintaining its existing assets.

5 Rates concentration - Reflects extent of reliance on rate revenues to fund all of Council's ongoing services. Trend indicates Council will have a steady reliance on rate revenue compared to all other revenue sources.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 52 7. Rates and Charges

In developing the Strategic Resource Plan (referred to in Section 14.), rates and charges were identified as an important source of revenue, accounting for 65.6% of the total revenue received by Council annually. Planning for future rate increases has therefore been an important component of the Strategic Resource Planning process. The State Government have introduced the Fair Go Rates System (FGRS) which sets out the maximum amount councils may increase rates in a year. For 2017/18 the FGRS cap has been set at 2.0%. The cap applies to general rates and is calculated on the basis of council’s base average property rate. The formulae provided by the Essential Services Commission (ESC) and agreed by the State Government is:

2016/17 Adopted General Rate Income + 2016/17 Annualised Supplementary Rate Income No. of Assessments 2016/17 = Base Average Rate x 2.0% = maximum allowable Capped Average Rate

The level of required rates and charges has been considered in this context, with reference to Council's other sources of income and the planned expenditure on services and works to be undertaken for the Maroondah community.

In order to achieve the levels set out in the Strategic Resources Plan which maintains services and service levels and a strong capital expenditure program, the average general property rate will increase by 2.0% in line with the rate cap formulae and the waste collection charges will increase by 4.0%. This will raise total rates and charges for 2017/18 of $84.85 million, which includes $0.74 million generated from supplementary rates.

Differential rates

The Capital Improved Value rating system includes a differential rate for vacant land properties throughout the municipality. It has been in place since the 2003/04 rating year when Council moved from Site Value rating to Capital Improved Value rating. The vast majority of Victorian Local Government Authorities have CIV as their rating methodology.

This levy ensures that all rateable properties make an equitable financial contribution to the cost of carrying out the functions of Council and at the same time is applied locally to encourage development within the municipality.

There are 286 vacant land properties that will contribute $724,711.00 to the total of rates, or 1.0% of total rate revenue.

The level of the differential rate is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing equity within the rating framework.

8. Summary of financial position

This section considers the long term financial projections of the Council. The Act and Regulations require a Strategic Resource Plan to be prepared covering both financial and non-financial resources, and including financial performance indicators for at least the next four financial years to support the Council Plan. Council prepares the long term financial strategy for the next ten years from which the financial statements are derived.

Key budget information is provided below about the rate and charges; comprehensive result; cash and investments; capital expenditure; financial position (working capital) and financial sustainability of the Council.

8.1 Total Rates & Charges

A = Actual F = Forecast B = Budget LTFS = Long Term Financial Strategy estimates Source: Section 3

It is proposed that rates will increase by 2.0% (as applied to the Base Average Property Rate in accordance with ESC formulae) and waste charges will increase by 4.0% for the 2017/18 year in line with contract obligations, raising total rates and charges of $84.848 million, which includes $0.74 million generated from supplementary rates. This rate increase is in line with Council’s rating strategy. Future years (2019/19 to 2020/21) rates are estimated to increase by 1.75% (as

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 58 applied to the Base Average Property Rate in accordance with ESC formulae) and waste charges are estimated to increase by 4.0%.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 59 8.2 Comprehensive result

Source: Section 3

The expected comprehensive result for the 2017/18 year is a surplus of $6.59 million, which is an increase of $3.54 million over 2016/17 Adopted Budget. It is anticipated that a surplus result will be achieved throughout the strategy period. (The forecast comprehensive result for the 2016/17 year is a surplus of $11.76 million which is better than the adopted budget provision $5.52 million due to the inclusion of carried forward grants, unbudgeted new grants, higher than anticipated public open space contributions and organisational savings achieved).

8.3 Cash and investments

Source: Section 3

Cash and investments are expected to increase by $1.03 million during the year to $34.01 million (Cash and cash equivalents $10.26 million and Financial Assets $23.75 million) as at 30 June 2018. The increase in cash and investments is in line with Council's Long Term Financial Strategy. Cash and investments are forecast to be $32.98 million as at 30 June 2017. Notional provision has been made for potential Defined Benefits Superannuation call should international equity markets fall, as well as provision of a cash backed reserve for new major capital projects as yet undefined.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 60 8.4 Capital expenditure

Source: Section 3

The capital works program for the 2017/18 year is expected to be $27.254 million of which $1.774 million will come from external grants and contributions and $1.267m will be funded by sale of plant and equipment and the balance internally through general rates and cash holdings. The priorities for the capital expenditure program have been established through a rigorous process of consultation that has enabled Council to assess community needs and develop sound business cases for each project. Council has a 10-year capital program at the strategic level with specific projects identified for years one to four.

8.5 Financial Position (Working Capital)

Source: Section 3

The working capital ratio calculated as Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities is a key indicator to assess Council’s ability to meet current commitments. The expected working capital ratio for 2017/18 is 1.66 which means that Council can meet its short term obligations and has sufficient cash or operating liquidity remaining to meet fluctuating cash levels during the year. Refer section 14 Long Term Financial Strategy.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 61 8.6 Financial Sustainability

Source: Section 3

A Long Term Financial Strategy for the years 2017/18 to 2026/27 has been developed to assist Council in adopting a budget within a longer term prudent financial framework. The key objective of the strategy is financial sustainability in the medium to longer term, while still achieving Council’s future outcome areas (strategic objectives) as specified in the Council Plan. The adjusted surplus result, which is a measure of financial sustainability, shows an increasing surplus over the ten-year period of the strategy. Notional provision has been made for potential Defined Benefits Superannuation call should international equity markets fall, as well as provision of a cash backed reserve for new major capital projects as yet undefined.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 64 9. Budget influences

This section sets out the key budget influences arising from the internal and external environment within the Council operate.

9.1 Snapshot of Maroondah City Council

The City of Maroondah was formed on 15 December 1994 by the amalgamation of the former Cities of Croydon and Ringwood, and parts of the former Shire of Lilydale and the former City of Doncaster and Templestowe. The term ‘Maroondah’ is named after an aboriginal word meaning ’leaf’ which symbolises the green environment of the city.

Our location The City of Maroondah covers a land area of 61.4 square kilometres in Melbourne’s outer east, 22 kilometres from the Central Business District (CBD). The area is a substantially developed peri-urban residential municipality, with an estimated population of 113,944 residents and 44,227 households with an average of 2.58 people per household.

The City of Maroondah includes the suburbs of Bayswater North, Croydon, Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South, Heathmont, Kilsyth South, Ringwood, Ringwood East, Ringwood North and Warranwood. The City also includes small sections of Kilsyth, Park Orchards, Vermont, and Wonga Park.

With little remaining land available for greenfield residential development, future population growth will be mainly stimulated by housing consolidation and medium density development.

Maroondah has the strategic advantage of being located at the north-eastern junction of the Eastern Freeway - EastLink corridor. There are two train lines and a large number of bus routes linking the City with other regions. Our sustainable transport links continue to expand, with on-road cycling paths and 35km of shared trails, including the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail, the EastLink Trail, Taralla Creek Trail and the Dandenong Creek Trail.

Our community Maroondah has an estimated population of 113,944 residents and 44,227 households with a similar age structure to the State’s average. Compared with metropolitan Melbourne, Maroondah has a slightly higher proportion of residents aged between 45 to 69 years and a lower proportion of residents aged between 20 to 35 years.

Cultural diversity in Maroondah is increasing, with the highest numbers of recent overseas immigrants arriving from Burma, China, Malaysia, India, Thailand and Iran. Maroondah is now home to the largest Burmese community in Melbourne’s eastern region.

There is a strong sense of community participation within Maroondah embodied by a large number of committed volunteers. More than two thirds of parents in

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 65 Maroondah are actively involved in their local schools and one third of Maroondah’s residents are members of organised community groups.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 66 Our economy Almost 9,000 businesses operate within the City with small business comprising over 96 percent of these organisations. The majority of businesses are in the construction, property and business services, finance and insurance, retail trade and manufacturing sectors.

The largest industry employers are the manufacturing, retail trade and health care sectors. In total, businesses in Maroondah provide employment for 35,898 people and the municipality has a gross regional product (GRP) of $5.12 billion.

Maroondah has two major retail centres at Croydon and Ringwood, with Ringwood being one of the largest in Melbourne. In addition, a range of key service and retail precincts are clustered along the Maroondah Highway corridor and 21 neighbourhood shopping centres are spread throughout the municipality.

Maroondah is well positioned to take advantage of Victoria’s future growth. Ringwood is identified as a Metropolitan Activity Centre within Plan Melbourne, the Victorian Government’s metropolitan planning strategy. Croydon is also identified as a key activity centre with concentrated retail opportunities and medium density housing development continuing to strengthen its thriving town centre.

The Bayswater North Employment Precinct is a major industrial and economic hub where many national and international firms have established their headquarters. The area offers diverse and flexible business accommodation with strategic access to EastLink, the Eastern Freeway and other major arterial roads.

Our environment Maroondah has 42 bushland reserves that offer residents and visitors the enjoyment of wildflowers, wildlife, bush walks and wetlands. There are more than 750,000 trees (mostly native species) in parks and reserves providing shade and shelter, helping to control water runoff, evaporation and erosion and providing a home for wildlife. During 2015/16, Council planted over 3,000 additional street trees and plants in parks and reserves with Friends Groups.

There are many areas of recreational open space in Maroondah. The City has 450 parks and reserves with 48 sports ovals. Open space areas include two golf courses, 128 public playgrounds, three skate areas, three BMX dirt jump sites and fives outdoor exercise equipment locations.

Maroondah’s residents and businesses are great recyclers: over 24,260 tonnes of recycling and green waste diverted from landfill in 2015/16. Maroondah has the one of the highest diversion rates amongst Victoria’s 79 Councils.

Budget Implications

In framing the 2017/18 Budget Council has not only focussed on its key directions (strategies) and priority actions (major initiatives and initiatives) as contained in the Council Plan but has also accommodated significant external influences on its

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 67 planned levels of revenue and expenditure. In particular, Council operates in a highly regulated environment and decisions by other levels of government and the private sector can have major impacts locally. Whilst such influences are outside the control of Council, others arise as a result of decisions taken and policies adopted in response to community priorities, the drive for continuous improvement, innovation and the requirement for ongoing sound financial management. The major influences are listed on the next few pages.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 68 Notwithstanding their effect, Council’s Budget will deliver outcomes that:  provide for the ongoing maintenance of its wide range of quality services to the community;  build on its existing firm financial base to continue its strategy to improve its long term financial viability;  strike an appropriate balance between today’s and future generations in respect of the funding of its operations and the development and maintenance of its long term assets; and  support an organisational and administrative framework that will assist in ensuring the provision of continued good governance.

9.2 External Influences

In preparing the 2017/18 budget, a number of external influences have been taken into consideration, because they will impact significantly on the services delivered by Council in the budget period when compared to the 2016/17 budget. These include:

 The Victorian State Government cap on the average property rate increase for 2017/18 has been set at 2.0%;

 Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases on goods and services of 1.4% through the year to the September quarter 2016 (ABS release 25 October 2016). State-wide CPI is forecast to be 2.0% for the 2017/18/ year (Victorian Budget Papers 2016/17);

 The Victorian Wage Price index is projected to be 2.50% in 2017/18 increasing to 3.0% and 3.5% in subsequent two years (Victorian Budget papers 2016/17);

 Reduction of $0.78 million in Victoria Grants Commission funding compared to the prior year.

 Increase of 2.0% (or $1.24 per tonne) in the levy payable to the State Government upon disposal of waste into landfill. The levy has increased from $9 per tonne in 2008/09 to $63.27 per tonne in 2017/18 (703% increase in 9 years) and has added and estimated $1.14 million to Council’s costs;

 The Fire Services Property Levy will continue to be collected by Council on behalf of the State Government with the introduction of the Fire Services Levy Act 2012 which is not included in Council’s budget;

 An overall increase in total capital grants & contributions to be received of $0.51 million mainly relating to the HE Parker Multi Sports Complex of $1.00 million however a decrease in the Roads to Recovery program of $0.47 million is anticipated;

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 69  Utility costs (electricity, gas and water) continue to increase higher than CPI; and

 Public Open Space contributions are forecast to remain at 2016/17 levels of $3.2 million.

9.3 Internal Influences

As well as external influences, there are also a number of internal influences which are expected to have a significant impact on the 2017/18 budget. These matters and their financial impact when compared to the 2016/17 budget are set out below:

 Depreciation is a major influence on the budget as it appears as a cost against the Comprehensive Income Statement. Depreciation for 2017/18 is $21.08 million. Council must ensure its capital renewal program at minimum keeps pace with this figure to ensure adequate maintenance of Council’s $1.46 billion Infrastructure;

 The inclusion of 35 Council Plan Priority Actions (Major initiatives and initiatives). Some of the initiatives include:

o Commence construction of the $4.0 million Jubilee Sporting Pavilion redevelopment;

o Commence construction of the $2.0 million HE Parker Sporting Pavilion;

o Develop the Croydon Town Centre, including community engagement, completion of detailed design and construction works;

o Prepare and commence implementation of a new Maroondah Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017-2021;

o A municipal wide review of Council’s neighbourhood character and heritage controls $0.15 million;

o Continuation of the construction of Lincoln Road Croydon, east of Dorset Road; and

o Develop a Female Participation Strategy for physical activity $0.01 million.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 70 9.4 Budget Principles

In response to these influences, guidelines were prepared and distributed to all Council officers with budget responsibilities. The guidelines set out the key budget principles upon which the officers prepare their budgets.

The principles included:

 The outcomes of Councils’ Long Term Financial Strategy will drive the 2017/18 budget process. The primary direction for the 2017/18 Budget is to ensure Council’s continued long term financial sustainability and that the requirements of the State Government in relation to Rate Capping are met;  Service levels to be maintained at 2016/17 levels with the aim to use fewer resources with an emphasis on innovation, productivity and efficiency enhancements;  Grants to be based on confirmed funding levels;  New initiatives or new employee proposals which are not cost neutral to be justified through a business case;  Existing fees and charges to be increased at a minimum of the Rates & Charges % increase or market levels for unit costs and volume;  New revenue sources such as partnerships and shared services to be identified where possible;  Salaries and wages to be increased in line with estimated Enterprise Bargaining outcomes; and  Operating revenue and expenses arising from completed 2016/17 capital projects to be included.

10.1.1. Adjusted underlying Surplus (deficit) for the year ($0.536 million decrease) The adjusted underlying result is the net surplus or deficit for the year adjusted for non-recurrent capital grants, non-monetary asset contributions and capital contributions from other sources. It is a measure of financial sustainability and Council’s ability to achieve its service delivery objectives as it is not impacted by capital income items which can often mask the operating result. The adjusted underlying result for the 2017/18 year is a surplus of $4.656 million which is a decrease of $0.536 million from the 2016/17 year. In calculating the adjusted underlying result, Council has excluded grants received for capital purposes which are non-recurrent and capital contributions from other sources.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 75 10.2.1 Rates and charges ($2.87 million increase) It is proposed that rates and charges income be increased by 3.5% or $2.87 million over 2016/17 to $84.85 million. Supplementary rates are forecast to increase by $0.50 million above 2016/17 to $0.74 million. Section 15 “Rating Information” includes a more detailed analysis of the rates and charges to be levied for 2017/18. Information on rates and charges specifically required by the Regulations is included in Section 7.

10.2.2 Statutory fees and fines ($0.09 million decrease) Statutory fees relate mainly to fees and fines levied in accordance with legislation and include animal registrations, Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 registrations, local laws and parking fines and statutory planning application fees. Increases in statutory fees are made in accordance with legislative requirements.

Statutory fees and fines are forecast to decrease by 2.19% or $0.09 million compared to 2016/17.

10.2.3 User fees ($1.00 million increase) User fees relate mainly to the recovery of service delivery costs through the charging of fees to users of Council’s services. These include use of Maroondah Leisure facilities: Aquahub; Aquanation; Croydon Memorial Pool; The Rings; and the Ringwood and Croydon Golf courses, Karralyka Centre and other community facilities. In addition, the provision of services such as home care, meals on wheels, family day care, occasional care and holiday programs are included in user fees.

User fees are projected to increase by 4.38% or $1.00 million over 2016/17. The main areas contributing to the increase are Aquanation ($0.375 million) and Aquahub ($0.225 million). Council plans to increase user charges for all areas in line with expected inflationary trends and increase service use over the budget period to maintain parity between user charges and the costs of service delivery.

10.2.4 Capital Contributions – other sources ($0.393 million decrease) Capital Contributions are projected to decrease by $0.393 million or 71.07% compared to 2016/17 due mainly to once off contributions for large Capital projects in 2016/17 (Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre Drainage renewal $0.09 million, Mullum Reserve Pavilion $0.06 million and Aquanation $0.05 million).

10.2.5 Interest received ($0.025 million decrease) Interest received relates largely to interest on investments and penalty rate interest.

Total interest received is forecast to decrease by 2.49% or $0.025 million compared to 2016/17. Interest on investments is also forecast to decline by 8.8% or $0.07 million compared to 2016/17. This is due mainly to a reduction in current estimated rate returns combined with the maturity of longer term investments held that may be reinvested at the lower rate regimes as predicted by equity markets. Interest on unpaid rates is forecast at $0.24 million - the same as in 2016/17.

10.2.6 Grants – Capital non-recurrent ($4.237 million decrease)

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 76 Capital grants (non recurrent) include all monies received from State, Federal and community sources for the purposes of funding the capital works program.

Contractors include payments for the provision of services which have been tendered under section 186 of the Local Government Act including external contracts for services such as waste collection, home care, road maintenance, street tree pruning etc. and are forecast to increase by 1.2% or $0.28 million compared to 2016/17. The increase in contractors is mainly due to tendered costs associated with Home Care and Waste Management.

10.3.3 Depreciation and amortisation ($0.780 million increase) Depreciation is an accounting measure which attempts to allocate the value of an asset over its useful life for Council’s property, plant and equipment including infrastructure assets such as roads and drains. The increase of 3.84% or $0.780 million for 2017/18 is due mainly the full year effect of depreciation on the 2016/17 capital works program. Refer to section 12 ‘Analysis of Capital Budget’ for a more detailed analysis of Council’s capital works program for the 2017/18 year.

10.3.4 Borrowing costs ($0.060 million decrease) Borrowing costs relate to interest charged by financial institutions on funds borrowed. The increase in borrowing costs results from the full year affect of the loan repayments on 2014/15 borrowings. Refer to section 16 ‘Borrowings’ for a more detailed analysis of Council’s borrowing commitments for the 2017/18 year.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 79 11. Analysis of budgeted cash position

This section analyses the expected cash flows from the operating, investing and financing activities of Council for the 2017/18 year. Budgeting cash flows for Council is one of the key factors in setting the level of rates and providing a guide to the level of capital expenditure that can be sustained.

The analysis is based on three main categories of cash flows:  Operating activities - Refers to the cash generated or used in the normal service delivery functions of Council. Cash remaining after paying for the provision of services to the community may be available for investment in capital works, or repayment of debt.  Investing activities - Refers to cash generated or used in the enhancement or creation of infrastructure and other assets. These activities also include the acquisition and sale of other assets such as vehicles, property and equipment.  Financing activities - Refers to cash generated or used in the financing of Council functions and include borrowings from financial institutions and the repayments of borrowings. These activities also include repayment of the principal component of loan repayments for the year.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 81 11.1.1 Operating activities ($3.32 million decrease) The decrease in cash inflows from operating activities is due mainly to a $4.2 million decrease in capital grants from the previous year which were primarily one off in nature relating mainly to Realm, CCTV Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre, East Ringwood and Croydon and East Ringwood Pavillion redevelopment. A $1.0 million increase in materials and services and a $2.0 million increase in employee costs.

The net cash flows from operating activities does not equal the surplus (deficit) for the year as the expected revenues and expenses of the Council include non-cash items which have been excluded from the Cash Flow Statement. The budgeted operating result is reconciled to budgeted cash flows available from operating activities as set out in the following table.

Forecast Actual Budget Variance 2016/17 2017/18 $’000 $’000 $’000 Surplus (deficit) for the year 11,756 6,590 (5,166) Depreciation 20,298 21,078 780 Net gain/(loss) on disposal of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment (91) (93) (2) Finance costs 1,091 1,031 (60) Net movement in current assets and liabilities (588) (533) 1,121 Cash flows available from operating activities 32,648 29,325 (3,323)

11.1.2 Investing activities ($4.4 million increase) The increase in payments for investing activities represents a decrease in capital works expenditure between 2016/17 and 2017/18 as Council used its own cash reserves during this period.

11.1.3 Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year ($0.04 million increase) Overall, total cash and investments are forecast to increase by $0.04 million to $10.26 million as at 30 June 2018. Council is using some of its cash holdings to fund capital expenditure in 2017/18 which is within acceptable sector practice. This is consistent with Council’s Long Term Financial Strategy.

11.2 Restricted and unrestricted cash and investments Cash and cash equivalents held by Council are restricted in part and not fully available for Council’s operations. The budgeted cash flow statement above indicates that Council is estimating at 30 June 2018 it will have cash and investments of $34.01 million, which are partly restricted as shown in the following table.

11.2.1 Restricted cash and investments ($17.51 million) Council has cash and cash equivalents that are subject to restrictions, Council has restrictions in relation to unexpended specific purpose investments other which relate mainly to monies received by Council for Public Open Space and Waste, trust funds and deposits, unexpended grants and contributions and cash backed reserves.

11.2.2 Unrestricted cash and investments ($16.50 million) These funds are free of all specific Council commitments and represent funds available to meet daily cash flow requirements, unexpected short term needs and any budget commitments which will be expended in the following year such as grants and contributions. Council regards these funds as the minimum necessary to ensure that it can meet its commitments as and when they fall due without borrowing further funds.

A more detailed listing of the capital works program is included in Section 6.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 85 12.1.1 Buildings ($7.84 million) This area comprises building renewal from the Condition Audit and building improvements for community facilities, municipal offices, sports facilities and pavilions.

For the 2017/18 year, $7.84 million will be expended on building renewal and building improvement projects. The more significant projects include the construction of the HE Parker Multi Sports Complex ($1.0 million) HE Parker Pavilion improvements ($1.05) million and building renewal projects including: Kurboroo Kindergarten, Maroondah Preschool, East Ringwood Senior Citizens Centre, Benson’s Pavilion, Wyreena Community Arts Centre, Bedford Park Scout Hall and Quambee Sporting Pavilion.

12.1.2 Roads and drainage ($10.41 million)

Roads and drainage includes local roads, footpaths and cycleways, carparks, bridges and drainage.

For the 2017/18 year, $10.41 million will be expended on roads and drainage. The more significant road works include; reseal works ($1.680 million), footpath construction program ($0.73 million); footpath replacement works ($1.43 million); kerb and channel replacement works ($0.64 million); and local area traffic management treatments ($0.27 million). Stormwater drainage infrastructure renewal ($1.62 million) is planned as well as significant drainage works in the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre ($0.6 million).

For the 2017/18 year, $4.53 million will be expended on plant, equipment and other projects. The more significant projects include ongoing cyclical replacement of the plant and vehicle fleet ($3.25 million); upgrade and replacement of information technology ($0.92 million); and equipment replacement at the Maroondah Leisure Facilities ($0.30 million).

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 86 12.1.5 Asset renewal ($20.27 million), new assets ($3.49 million) and upgrade ($3.50 million) A distinction is made between expenditure on new assets, asset renewal, upgrade and expansion. Expenditure on asset renewal is expenditure on an existing asset, or on replacing an existing asset that returns the service of the asset to its original capability. Expenditure on new assets does not have any element of expansion or upgrade of existing assets but will result in an additional burden for future operation, maintenance and capital renewal.

The major projects included in the above categories, which constitute expenditure on renewing assets are the renewal of roads and drainage ($8.23 million), building renewal ($5.49million) and information technology purchases ($0.5 million). The remaining capital expenditure represents new assets and upgrades of existing assets. No funds have been allocated for expansion in 2017/18.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments such as cash held in the bank and in petty cash and the value of investments in deposits or other highly liquid investments with short term maturities of three months or less. These balances are projected to increase by $0.36 million during the year in line with the rise and fall of Council’s operations.

Trade and other receivables are monies owed to Council by ratepayers and others. Minimal change is expected in the level of debtors in the budget.

Other financial assets include the value of investments held in deposits with a maturity of greater than three months at the time of initial investment. These balances are projected to increase by $0.67 million during the year in line with the rise and fall of Council’s operations.

Other assets includes items such as prepayments for expenses that Council has paid in advance of service delivery and inventories or stocks held for sale or consumption in Council’s services. Minimal change is expected in the budget.

Property, infrastructure, plant and equipment is the largest component of Council’s worth and represents the value of all the land, buildings, roads, vehicles, equipment, etc. which has been built up by Council over many years. The net increase in this balance is attributable to the net result of the capital works program ($27.3 million of new assets); depreciation of assets ($21.1 million); and the sale of property, plant and equipment ($1.3 million).

13.1.2 Current Liabilities ($0.98 million decrease) and Non-Current Liabilities ($1.26 million decrease)

‘Trade and other payables’ are those to whom Council owes money as at 30 June. These liabilities are budgeted to reduce which is consistent with 2017/18 reduced levels of expenditure on materials and services relating to capital projects.

Provisions include accrued long service leave, annual leave and time in lieu to employees. These employee entitlements are only expected to increase marginally in line with EBA outcomes.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are borrowings of Council. As detailed in Section 16 Council borrowed $24.2 million in 2014/15 and repayment of loan principal of $1.27 million will be made during the year.

13.1.3 Working Capital ($0.519 million increase)

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 90 Working capital is the excess of current assets above current liabilities. This calculation recognises that although Council has current assets, some of those assets are already committed to the future settlement of liabilities in the following 12 months and are therefore not available for discretionary spending.

The expected working capital ratio for 2017/18 is 1.66:1 which means that Council can meet its short term obligations and has sufficient cash or operating liquidity remaining to meet fluctuating cash levels during the year.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 91 13.1.4 Equity ($6.590 million increase)

Total equity always equals net assets and is made up of the following components:  Asset revaluation reserve which represents the difference between the previously recorded value of assets and their current valuations.  Accumulated surplus which is the value of all net assets less Reserves that have accumulated over time. The increase in accumulated surplus of $6.590 million results directly from the surplus for the year.  Council has introduced a general reserve to fund future capital projects and unexpected contingencies such as a call on unfunded Superannuation. The reserve will increase by $2.0 million in 2017/18.

17.Infrastructure and other assets

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 93 14. Long term financial strategy

14.1 Strategy Development

Council has prepared a long term financial strategy for the 10-year period 2017/18 to 2026/27 as part of its ongoing financial planning to assist Council in adopting a Budget within a longer term framework. The long term financial strategy takes the outcome areas (strategic objectives) and key directions (strategies) as specified in the Council Plan and is required to express them in financial terms for the next four years at minimum i.e. the Strategic Resource Plan. Council reports the upcoming ten years.

The key objective in developing the Strategy is financial sustainability in the medium to long term, whilst still achieving Council’s objectives as specified in the Council Plan. The key financial objectives, which underpin the long term financial strategy, are:

 Achieve operating statement surpluses after adjustments for one-off (non- recurring) events;  Maintain a strong cash position;  Maintain long term financial sustainability indicators within the low to medium risk levels as defined by the Victorian Auditor General’s Office (VAGO);  Invest in a capital expenditure program that addresses Council’s infrastructure requirements and ensures that renewal of assets at least matches depreciation;

In preparing the strategy, Council has also been mindful of the need to comply with the following principles of sound financial management as contained in the Act:

 Prudently manage financial risks relating to debt, assets and liabilities  Provide stability in the level of rate burden  Consider the financial effects of Council decisions on future generations  Provide full, accurate and timely disclosure of financial information.

The Strategy is updated annually through a rigorous process of consultation with Councillors after Council’s service areas, followed by a detailed sensitivity analysis to achieve the key financial objectives.

14.2 Assumptions

The first year of the long term financial strategy is the proposed 2017/18 budget figures, whilst the remaining years 2018/19 to 2026/27 are based on a number of broad assumptions combined with known major influences.

The most significant of the assumptions contained in the Strategy are:

 All current services and service levels are maintained, while retaining the capacity to respond to emerging service demands;

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 94  Annual general rate revenue results after applying the predicted rate cap formulae increases each year in accordance with the legislation introduced last year;  Waste charges are based on full cost recovery of providing the service;  Employee costs will align with estimated Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) outcomes;  Containment of increases in non-discretionary expenditure for materials and contracts to no more than CPI with the exception of committed contracts;  All other discretionary expenditure to remain at 2016/17 budget levels e.g. no increase;  Interest rates on investments to continue at an average of current rate regimes;  Asset renewal expenditure to be at least as great as depreciation each year;  No new borrowings;  Provision of a capped cash backed defined benefits superannuation fund reserve of $5 million; and  Provision of a growing cash backed major capital projects reserve to fund yet unidentified and new major projects.

Many of these assumptions are heavily dependent on forces outside the control of Council and as such are reviewed and updated annually in the Long Term Financial Strategy (refer section 9 Budget Influences).

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 95 14.3 Financial Resources

The following table summarises the key financial results for the next ten years as contained in the Strategic Resource for years 2017/18 to 2026/27. Section 3 includes a more detailed analysis of the financial resources to be used over the next four-year period.

The following graph shows the financial indicators over the ten-year period.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 96 The key outcomes of the plan are as follows:

 Financial Sustainability The Long Term Financial Strategy portrays positive outcomes in terms of net surplus comprehensive results for the entire ten- year period outlook (2017/18 to 2026/27). This can be achieved after absorbing the impact of borrowing to cover the building of Aquanation, the freezing of the Funding Assistance Grant from the Federal Government and the graduated increase in the superannuation guarantee by the Federal Government.

Further indicators of the long term financial sustainability of Councils are the financial sustainability risk indicators as defined by VAGO. Council is in a sound position financially with all indicators showing results within acceptable low to medium risk levels. The following table show these indicators over the ten-year period, shading green for low risk and yellow for medium risk.

 Rating levels Annual rate revenue results are derived after applying the predicted rate cap increases each year in accordance with the legislation introduced last year.

 Borrowings Borrowings are forecast to reduce from $21.3 million to $ 5.3 million over the ten-year period. This reflects repayments for borrowings in 2014/15 of $24.2million to partly fund the building of Aquanation in Ringwood (refer Section 16 – Borrowing Strategy). There are no further loan commitments anticipated for the life of the Long Term Financial Strategy.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 97  Infrastructure and Other Assets Council’s capital policy and procedural framework incorporates a strategy to meet the challenges of the ageing infrastructure by steadily increasing expenditure on asset renewal. Capital expenditure over the four-year period will total $124.5 million and $320.8 million over the 10-year period (refer Section 17 – Infrastructure and other assets Strategy). The long term Capital Works Outlook can be seen in the table on the next page.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 101 15. Rating Strategy

This section considers the Council’s rating strategy including strategy development and assumptions underlying the current year rates and charges increase and rating structure.

15.1 Strategy development

In forming the 2017/18 Budget, Council gave careful consideration to the structure of its rating system and is committed to consider the prospect of introducing a differential rate for Commercial and Industrial properties prior to the preparation of the 2018/19 Budget.

Council has adopted a rating strategy built around five equity, sustainability and transparency parameters. These parameters commit Council to:

* adherence to the direction from The Minister for Local Government that rate capping will continue for the 2017/18 financial year and subsequent years;

* progressively increase funding for infrastructure renewal to approximately equate the wear, tear and obsolescence on existing assets ensuring longevity and the provision of community accepted levels of service for its entire asset portfolio;

* continue to maintain equity for all rate payers within Maroondah’s rating system;

* deliver maximum benefit from the economies and productivity generated from continually improving organisational performance;

* provide transparency in the rating process; and

* continue to recover separately the full cost of Council’s waste management services.

Council has maintained the optimum possible rating structure within the context of these parameters balancing services, programs and projects with the Community’s needs, aspirations and expectations.

The key features of this rating structure in 2017/18 include:

 maintenance of equity for all rate payers in the rating system through the use of a capital improved rating system; and

 an increase in general rates of 2.0% (as applied to the Base Average Rate in accordance with the Essential Services Commission’s formulae) and waste collection charges of 4.0% over the 2016/17 rating level.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 102 15.2 Rating context

The Local Government (Fair Go Rates) Act has entered its second year of affect having been passed by Parliament in 2015. The Act adopted the bulk of the recommendations from the Essential Services Commission (ESC) in its local government rating review report. The Act introduces a rate cap based on CPI plus or minus any adjustment and allows for multiple caps to be set by the Minister and variations to the cap should Councils obtain approval to raise rate revenue by a greater amount than that imposed by the cap.

The Minister subsequently determined the rate cap for 2017/18 to be set at an increase of 2.0% over the average property rate of Council. The average property rate is derived by dividing total rate revenue adjusted for the annualisation of supplementary rate income by the number of rateable properties as at 30 June. The increase under the cap applies to rate revenue after growth in the previous year has been taken into account as demonstrated by the formulae following:

2016/17 Adopted General Rate Income + 2016/17 Annualised Supplementary Rate Income No. of Assessments 2016/17 = Base Average Rate x 2.0% = maximum allowable Capped Average Rate

15.3 Current year rates and charges

The general rate revenue and garbage charge revenue that Council will levy in the 2017/18 rating year is as follows:

General Service Charge Total Rate (Garbage) Revenue Revenue $000 $000 $000 Total Declared 2016/17 $70,198,157 $11,144,000 $81,342,157 Plus Supplementary Revenue $900,025 $0 $900,025 2016/17 # $71,098,182 $11,144,000 $82,242,182 Increase/(Decrease) in 2017/18 $1,421,953 $446,000 $1,867,953 Total for 2017/18 $72,520,135 $11,590,000 $84,110,135 #This represents annualized supplementary valuations estimated for the 2016/17 financial year.

The total revenue target for 2017/18 of $84,110,135 represents a 2.3% Municipal wide increase in rates and charges levels. For general rates the percentage increase is based on the ESC formulae referred to above and the service charges increase is in line with contract obligations.

15.4 General revaluation of properties 2016

Council is required to conduct a two yearly General Property Valuation. The most recent General Valuation was carried out with levels of value set as at 1 January 2016. The General Valuation was undertaken in accordance with best practice standards set by the State Valuer-General.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 103 These valuations are used for rating purposes to equitably spread the total of Council’s own source revenue across Maroondah’s total assessment base. Hence, the higher the property value the higher the associated individual property general rates; the lower the property value, the lower the associated individual property general rates.

The next General Valuation will be conducted in 2018 and will be carried out with levels set as at 1 January 2018.

15.5 Rating of cultural and recreational lands

Council has three (3) properties that are deemed to be subject to the provisions of the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963.

This legislation allows Council to set an amount as rates in respect of properties that are covered by this legislation.

Such properties are vested in bodies which:  exist for cultural or sporting purposes and which apply their profits in promoting their objectives;

 prohibit the payment of dividends to their members; and

 are used for outdoor sporting, recreational, cultural or similar purposes.

Council is required to set an amount which is to be paid as rates having regard to the services provided by Council and having regard to the benefit to the community derived from such lands. Having taken account of all the required factors Council has historically formed the view that a 35% reduction in the general rate otherwise applying is a fair and reasonable measure of these factors.

Hence in 2017/18 the following amounts will be payable in respect to the properties affected, viz: * Heathmont Club Inc. $6,112.20 * Bayswater North Tennis Club $1,742.15 * Eastwood Golf Club $13,681.05

The amount to be paid as rates on the three (3) Cultural and Recreational properties will generate income of $21,535.40 in 2017/18.

15.6 Differential rating

The Capital Improved Value rating system includes a differential rate for vacant land properties throughout the municipality. It has been in place since the 2003/04 rating year when Council moved from Site Value rating to Capital Improved Value rating.

This levy ensures that all rateable properties make an equitable financial contribution to the cost of carrying out the functions of Council and at the same time is applied locally to encourage development within the municipality.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 104 There are 286 vacant land properties that will contribute $724,711 to the total of rates, or 1.0% of total rate revenue. The number of vacant land properties continues to reduce in line with Council’s strategy.

The level of the differential rate is reviewed annually to ensure ongoing equity within the rating framework. Refer section 7.1.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 105 15.7 Rating Structure

After consideration of all the foregoing issues, the following rating structure has been approved for 2017/18:

1. In respect to properties subject to the Cultural and Recreational Lands Act 1963 Council sets an amount which is to be paid as rates having regard to the services provided by Council and having regard to the benefit to the community derived from such lands, and taking into account all the required factors, Council has formed the view that a 35% reduction in the general rate otherwise applying is a fair and reasonable measure of these factors.

2. A differential rate will be struck in respect to all vacant land to ensure the levy of an equitable financial contribution to the cost of carrying out the functions of Council.

3. The balance of general rate revenue that is to be raised in 2017/18 will be raised by the application of a single general rate in the dollar applied across the Municipality.

In summary, the following rating structure will therefore be applied for the 2017/18 rating year:

RATE TYPE RATE IN THE $ RATE IN THE $ (Capital Improved (Capital Improved Value) Value) 2016/17 2017/18 General Rate 0.2209¢ 0.2253¢ Differential Rate:

Vacant Land 0.3314¢ 0.3380¢

Rating Yield

When the rating structure is applied to the total valuation the following total revenue yields are generated for 2017/18:

REVENUE YIELD

Capital Improved Revenue Rate in $ Value ($) Yield ($)# General Rate $31,861,586,291 0.2253 $71,773,889 Differential Rate: Vacant Land $214,411,444 0.3380 $724,711 Amounts In Lieu of Rates: Cultural and Recreational Lands Act $14,710,000 $21,535 Total $32,090,707,735 $72,520,135 # These figures are rounded on individual properties and therefore are not an exact extension of the total valuation by the rate in the dollar.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 106 Garbage Charge

Council provides a comprehensive waste collection service for residents consisting of a 120 or 80 litre garbage bin, a 240 litre organic bin and a 240 litre recycling bin. The following table sets out the charge scales: GARBAGE CHARGES

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 107 16. Borrowings

16.1. Borrowing Strategy

Context Borrowings are recognised as an important funding source for firstly creating infrastructure assets and secondly for one off significant expense burdens that may arise. An estimate of future borrowing requirements is incorporated into the Long Term Financial Strategy if and when required.

Budget 2017/2018 In 2014/15 Council constructed a new regional aquatic and leisure centre in Ringwood known as Aquanation. The facility was opened in August 2015, with borrowings to fund a portion of this project. The total cost was $52.2 million, and has been funded by Federal and State Government grants to a total of $13.0 million. The remaining funding came from a combination of loan borrowings by Council ($24.2 million), budgeted capital expenditure, public open space contributions and cash reserves. Council market tendered for the provision of the loan in August 2014 and the loan was drawdown in November 2014 with repayment of principal and interest over 15 years and at a fixed rate for the term of the loan of 4.91% interest per annum. The budget for 2017/18 provides for repayment of loan principal and interest per the agreed schedule. The following table sets out Council’s known and anticipated loan borrowing commitments over the life of the loan:

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 110 17. Infrastructure and other assets

Maroondah City Council (Council) has established a Total Life Cycle Asset Management (TLCAM) framework that is aimed at ensuring asset longevity and the continued provision of services to the community. The TLCAM framework has evolved over time, in conjunction with Council’s knowledge of its asset portfolio which has increased through cyclical asset condition/performance assessments and the establishment of strategic asset management plans. This framework facilitates the optimisation of Council’s capital renewal, capital upgrade and maintenance expenditure associated with its assets.

To place the importance of this framework in a financial context, it is noted that as part of Council’s net assets as at 30 June 2016 totalling $1,448 million, physical assets including infrastructure, property, plant and equipment totalled $1,449 million. The net value of the assets represents the valuation of the assets less applicable accumulated depreciation. A breakdown of this $1,449 million into categories shows:

Category Net Value $m % Property (Land and Buildings) 841 58.0 Infrastructure 598 41.3 Plant, Equipment & Work in Progress 10 0.7 Total 1,449 100.0

Council’s TLCAM framework is based on its commitment to a best practice ‘whole of life’ approach to the management of the community’s assets. Council believes that such an approach, combined with the principles of sustainability, will provide enhanced service delivery outcomes for the community. The TLCAM framework incorporates the combined application of financial, economic, technical, social and environmental factors with the objective of providing a required level of service in the most cost effective manner over the lifecycle of each asset.

17.1 Applying the Framework to the Annual Budgeting Process

Council’s policy and procedural framework for the management of its physical assets is linked to its Council planning and budgeting processes.

The TLCAM framework is continuing to be refined, to facilitate advanced life cycle cost projections for up to twenty (20) years into the future. The TLCAM framework is based on a minimum ten (10) year planning cycle which sets out the capital expenditure requirements of Council by class of asset and is a key input to the Service Resource Plan. This is supported by the 10-year capital program at the strategic level with projects identified for years one to four. This allows time to properly plan for the projects and deliver them in an efficient manner. This program is continually reviewed based on the knowledge obtained through the cyclical reviews and the updating of the asset management plans.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 111 17.2 Budget 2017/18

The 2017/18 capital works program has been developed in accordance with the above policy and procedural framework for the management of Council’s physical assets. The outcomes of the program and its associated funding for the next four years are tabled below:

Sources of funding Year Total Capital Program Grants Contributions Council Cash

$000 $000 $000 $000 2017/18 $1,774 $1,427 $24,053 $27,254 2018/19 $12,862 $1,427 $26,369 $40,658 2019/20 $362 $1,455 $26,482 $28,299 2020/21 $362 $1,502 $26,437 $28,301

The detailed program that lists each project to be undertaken over the next four (4) years is included in Section 6. The projects included in the program are as a direct result of community needs and service requirements.

17.3 Long Term Financial Strategy

Council has developed a ten (10) year rolling Long Term Financial Strategy (LTFS), of which the first four-year period is included in Section 3. The Strategy incorporates capital expenditure that includes extrapolations based on the above policy and procedural framework, and which demonstrates achievement of the targeted growth of asset renewal and upgrade spending. In 2017/18 and 2018/19 the renewal expenditure is 96% of Council’s annual depreciation increasing to 97% in 2019/20. Council continues to fund its renewal gap in a responsible manner within its economic constraints.

The contents of the appendices following are summarised below:

Appendix Nature of information Page A Budget process 95 B Statutory disclosures 97 C Fees and charges schedule 100

Appendix A - Budget Process

The preparation of the budget begins with Council’s employees preparing the annual budget in accordance with the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) and Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 (the Regulations) and submitting the “proposed” budget to Council for approval “in principle”. Council is then required to give “public notice” that it intends to “adopt” the budget. It must give a minimum 28 days notice of its intention to adopt the proposed budget and make the budget available for inspection at its offices. A person is able to make a submission on any proposal contained in the budget and Council must consider any submission before adoption of the budget. The final step is for Council to adopt the budget after receiving and considering submissions from interested parties. The budget is required to be adopted by 31 August 2017 and a copy submitted to the Minister within 28 days after adoption. This section lists the budget processes to be undertaken in order to adopt the Budget in accordance with the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act) and Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 (the Regulations).

Under the Act, Council is required to prepare and adopt an annual budget for each financial year. The budget is required to include certain information about the rates and charges that Council intends to levy as well as a range of other information required by the Regulations which support the Act.

The 2017/18 budget is for the year 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018 and is prepared in accordance with the Act and Regulations. The budget includes financial statements being a Comprehensive Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Capital Works. These statements have been prepared for the year ending 30 June 2018 in accordance with the Act and Regulations, and consistent with the annual financial statements which are prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Local Government Model Accounts. The budget also includes information about the rates and charges to be levied, the capital works program to be undertaken, the human resources required, and other financial information Council requires in order to make an informed decision about the adoption of the budget.

A ‘proposed’ budget is prepared in accordance with the Act and submitted to Council in May for approval ’in principle’. Council is then required to give ’public notice’ that it intends to ’adopt’ the budget. It must give 28 days notice of its intention to adopt the proposed budget and make the

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 113 budget available for inspection at its offices and on its web site. A person has a right to make a submission on any proposal contained in the budget and any submission must be considered before adoption of the budget by Council.

With the introduction of the State Governments Rate Capping legislation in 2015 Councils are now unable to determine the level of rate increase and instead must use a maximum rate increase determined by the Minister for Local Government which is announced in December for application in the following financial year.

MAROONDAH CITY COUNCIL – ADOPTED BUDGET 2017/18 | 114 If a Council wishes to seek a rate increase above the maximum allowable it must submit a rate variation submission to the Essential Services Commission (ESC). The Commission will endeavour to notify councils of its decision in respect of an application within two months of receipt of application. In many cases this will require Councils to undertake ‘public notice’ on two separate proposed budgets simultaneously, i.e. the Ministers maximum rate increase and the Council’s required rate increase. The final step is for Council to adopt the budget after receiving and considering any submissions from interested parties. A copy of the budget is required to be submitted to the Minister within 28 days after adoption.

This 2017/18 Budget has been prepared in compliance with the Act and the Regulations that set out the required preparation process. Council is not seeking a rate increase above the maximum allowable by the ESC. The key dates for the budget process are summarised in the table below:

Timetable - Budget Process Submit Proposed Budget to Council for “Approval in Principle” at a 1. 8 May Special Council meeting 2. Public Notice advising intention to adopt budget 11 May

3. Budget placed on exhibition for minimum 28 days 12 May

Community Consultation

Section 129 of the Act provides that Council follows a public consultation process prior to formal Budget adoption. This commences with a public notice by Council announcing the preparation of the Proposed Budget. Copies of the Budget are made available on Council’s website www.maroondah.vic.gov.au and for inspection at Council’s service centres and libraries and the public may obtain further information on the Budget content from Council Officers by appointment. The public notice invites submissions to be made to Council under Section 223 of the Act. This Section also gives those making submissions the right to speak to their submission before a sub- committee of Council. The legislation also requires Council to formally respond to any submissions in writing and to provide reasons for such response. The timetable provided above incorporates this community consultation process.
