This land has been solely managed by the Council since 1987. In the early 1990s the Council pursued further grants of land in the Jervis Bay Territory that included the then and Australian National Botanic Gardens (Jervis Bay Annex) and in 1995 amendments were made to the Land Grant Act and the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 and in October 1995 the Council was granted title to both. The land grant included a marine component within Jervis Bay itself. The Council, prior to the land grant agreed to lease the Park to the Director of National Parks (Director) so a Memorandum of Lease between the Council and the Director was negotiated and signed. This lease is currently undergoing a review. In 1996 a Board of Management (Park Board) was established for the Jervis Bay National Park (Park) and Botanic Gardens (Park) with Wreck Bay Community representatives occupying 5 of the 9 positions and in 1997 the name of the Park was changed to Booderee National Park to reflect Aboriginal ownership. The current Park Board has 12 members with Wreck Bay Community representatives occupying 7 of those positions. Wreck Bay Community representatives are elected from the Wreck Bay Board. In total the area of land and water owned by the Council in the Jervis Bay Territory is approximately 68 square kilometres which is about 90% of the land.

Dear Members With pleasure I present to you our report for the 2010–2011 financial year.

The year in retrospect The Community conducted its annual general meeting during October 2010 during which all positions were declared vacant. The elections resulted in four new board members along with five re-elected board members forming the executive for the next two years operation of the council. The executive has many opportunities to develop during its Craig Ardler term in office plus responsibility to ensure the community is Chairman WBACC progressing towards well defined long term goals. We thank the previous board members for their commitment to the community and the many initiatives that were promoted and advanced during the past years. As the community has embraced a portfolio based structure it is relevant to base this report against those portfolios.

Governance The governance portfolio has responsibility for grant control and reporting, policy development, community liaison, financial reporting, annual reports, by-laws, human resources plus Wreck Bay and Booderee Board participation. The Wreck Bay board continues to meet regularly (monthly when possible) plus members attend meetings on behalf of the community including Booderee management meetings, audit committee meetings plus sub-committee meetings and meetings arranged to develop strategy and long term outcomes for the community. The board is well supported by the WBACC Administration team. Policy and by-law development and implementation is an ongoing project for the community as it develops, grows and evolves. Financial reporting and statutory reporting has been gradually improved each year to ensure the community meets its statutory obligations on time.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 25 The WBACC administration is currently developing a new enterprise agreement with consultation with its employees and is confident that salary sacrifice benefits will bea benefit to be offered to all employees. Compliance is well understood by the board and staff so I am happy to confirm ongoing improvements with reporting and compliance responsibilities from the Council.

Community Service The Community Service portfolio has responsibility towards housing, education, health, early childhood and recreation activities within the community. Housing, being a building block for a healthy community, needs improvement. The community is working with the Commonwealth to develop positive housing outcomes. I am confident housing will be improved with sustainable outcomes developed. Education is another building block and it is pleasing to see so many of our Indigenous youth now successfully remaining at high school and then progressing further into tertiary or fulltime TAFE education. Education starts at birth therefore the Gudjahgahmiamia early childhood centre plays a pivotal role in preparing our children firstly to thrive and develop as toddlers but then as future leaders of the community. It is also pleasing to note the high national ratings the Jervis Bay primary school is achieving plus the work all areas of educators are cooperatively working on to ensure our children have a smooth transition through all levels of development and education. Despite receiving substantial funding towards the early education centre and the development and implementation of a reasonable fee structure, the centre is still well underfunded. The community currently injects additional funding into the centre to ensure its sustainability. The community was successful in obtaining funding to provide for two Indigenous traineeships for the centre—an important capacity building initiative for the future of the centre. The early childhood centre provides a lot more opportunity than child minding, the centre adopts national early childhood education programs to ensure the children develop many skills. The centre also provides a safe learning place for the children whilst providing an opportunity for parents to either participate within the centre or pursue their own education and employment outcomes. Health services are provided to the community through the South Coast Illawarra health service, Nowra Aboriginal Medical Service and various non-government service providers. The community is not immune to the many chronic illnesses that affect Indigenous people therefore the community is continuously investigating, developing and participating in health and wellness programs and strategies to improve health outcomes. Recreation facilities. The community being located on the coast with our people being traditional fishing people has meant that most recreation activities have centered around the beaches however other recreation and engagement options are sought by the community, in particular the youth therefore the Board will continue to seek and develop options for additional recreation facilities.

26 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 The Plan of Management (POM) is almost finalised and establishes a framework for how our Park lands will be managed for the next 10 years. The POM is a combination of much input from community members and other key stakeholders, its success will be measured on how the Park is managed in 10 years time and what innovation has been established under the Plans guidance. I am confident that the new plan will serve our interests well. Thank you to all who contributed towards the new plan.

Land Management The land management portfolio has responsibilities for cultural heritage, land planning, horticultural services, ground maintenance, cleaning services and weed/feral animal controls. Cultural heritage is embedded in all who we are and what we do plus our connections to the land and sea therefore our culture is intrinsically bound to the land management of our lands. The community has a number of avenues to express their connection including everyday living, community planning, cultural interpretations, the junior ranger program plus its involvement with Booderee National Park and development of its home lands. The community has successfully incorporated cultural heritage into its outcome based funding proposals and has employed a cultural heritage project manager to oversee and establish a range of policies and processes to safeguard the cultural heritage values and sites within the community owned lands. Demand for housing blocks within the community is high with limited blocks available therefore to satisfy a growing demand the community will need to assess suitable land for additional housing blocks. . Horticultural services, Ground maintenance and cleaning services are provided on a fee for service basis to the Director of National Parks, the community council and Territory administration. The service provided to the Park and community is completed under a service level agreement whereas the work contracted from the territory administration is seasonal and opportunistic. The community employs a fulltime weed and site protection manager with the main weed targeted being Bitou bush which is a weed of National importance. The weed was introduced into the Park as a means of stabilising sand dunes however has spread and is now considered a major problem as it competes with native flora from the same area. This year the community has expanded its management options of the weed by contracting some aerial spraying of the weed. The aerial spray program will be complemented with additional on the ground control methods.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 27 Challenges moving forward Once again the community was saddened to farewell some prominent Indigenous members and leaders during the year. The community is resilient however resilience is tested when members are lost to illness that should be preventable. On a positive note congratulations to all those mums and dads who have welcomed new offspring into their families during the past twelve months. The Council has continued to support many community members and their families through support programs such as sport, bond and educational grants that are resourced through community funding. We aim to continue this initiative provided that funds are still available. The community is in a position to accept many positive initiatives during the next year and beyond therefore as a Board we are in exciting times. The community will have to embrace changes however strategic decisions taken now will establish a positive platform for community development for many years ahead. The WBACC is a Commonwealth Authority and as such has responsibilities defined both under our legislation to the registered members plus the Commonwealth and Companies Act (CAC Act). As Directors under the legislation we would not be able to adequately fulfil our responsibilities without the cooperation from the staff from the Council therefore it is imperative that as Directors we firstly understand our role and responsibility and secondly that we support and work together with the senior staff of our organisations—I thank them on behalf of the Executive Board for their assistance and diligence during the year. Our CEO Chris decided not to negotiate an extension to the initial three year contract therefore a recruitment process to recruit a replacement for Chris commenced during March 2011 and concluded in June 2011. We welcome Mal Hansen to the position as the CEO and wish him many years of successful work with the community; we also thank Chris for the diligence and commitments he made towards the community. Finally I thank and acknowledge the wonderful continued support given to the community from the staff and various service providers and Booderee National Park—without your support we would not be the strong community that we are today.

28 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Following years of consolidation, focus and restructure; the community is now entering a substantial period of opportunity. There are and will be many opportunities presented to the community within the next twelve months to address many long standing issues; together with building upon the tremendous opportunity that Booderee National Park offers to create, amongst other areas, economic outcomes.

Funding Grants and other income Grants were received during the year from the Department Chris Moon of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) for the Administration and Management of CEO WBACC the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council (WBACC); plus from the Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) for the operation of the Wreck Bay Gudjahgahmiamia early education day-care centre under the Multi Aboriginal Community Service (MACS) scheme. Wreck Bay received some funds from the Department of Regional Services for housing and land council outcomes plus contracts to provide some services under a local government obligation. Wreck Bay also receives a small income from operating a Centrelink agency within the community. Wreck Bay has strived to maintain fruitful partnerships with our funding bodies; recognising the importance of targeting outcomes that are consistent with the grant organisations aims plus the National ‘Closing the Gap’ initiatives. Wreck Bay receives an annual lease payment from the Director of National Parks and a share of entry and camping fees from Booderee National Park; these funds are used to top-up any short falls in grant funding plus for a range of services, programs and outcomes that are not otherwise funded. The income from gate takings and camping fees has steadily risen over the past few years as the park’s visitation and profile has increased. Booderee National Park continues to be recognised as a unique and desirable destination; it receiving the prestigious International Virgin Indigenous Tourism Award for 2010–11; recognising its contribution towards the development and support for Indigenous owners of the park.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 29 Subsidiary Companies and Contracts Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited (“WBEL”) was officially amalgamated back under the WBACC structure during 2010–2011. The main function of the entity was to provide service for fees to the Director of National Parks plus for the community, Territory administration and other service organisations. The organisation again reinforced its aim to maximise the employment opportunities for community members whilst containing cost within budget. The new WBACC structure based on portfolio management has been designed to promote community engagement and transparency. The community entered into a long term lease arrangement with the Director of National Parks (until 2094). The Park lease can be reviewed each 5 years. The community entered into a review/negotiation phase with the Director during 2008; with the community seeking a range of better conditions and outcomes. During the negotiation and review process with the Director, the community realised that some of the original commitments made by the Commonwealth to the people of Wreck Bay to originally enter into a long term lease arrangement need to be taken back to the Commonwealth Government and were no longer reasonably the responsibility of the Director of National Parks; unless he is adequately resourced to fulfil the commitments. Our relationship with the Director is positive and joint management continues to provide positive outcomes to the community. The original commitments are mentioned later within this report. A new Plan of Management is currently being negotiated and developed and should be endorsed, hopefully, in early 2012. The new plan of management should then confirm cultural significance of the land to the people of Wreck Bay plus allow many activities and business opportunities that are important to the long term aspirations of the Wreck Bay members.

Further Operational Activities with the Community Wreck Bay community continues to demonstrate positive attributes with an emphasis on community development and provision of services within the community. The housing situation is a major issue and concern for the community that will need to be resolved. The community has issues with insufficient housing, overcrowding, poor quality construction, asbestos, lack of available funds for remedial work and consensus on a clear pathway to move forward. To that end, the Minister for Indigenous Affairs has offered the community a solution in line with current National policy; however, at this juncture, Wreck Bay is not comfortable with the options presented; albeit recognising housing is a critical factor in ‘closing the gap’ between indigenous and non-indigenous people and, hence, appreciates that a workable solution to the community housing situation is fundamental for future community well being. It is envisaged that further and substantial negotiations will take place shortly relating to this vital matter. Tourism remains one of the major opportunities for the community to establish; either individual tourism products or community owned tourism enterprises. The Park has recorded visitations of over 400,000 per annum during the past few years and to compliment the high visitation, several community members have establishing business enterprises to provide service and Indigenous tourism products to cater for the visitors to the Park. The

30 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Community established a business support policy with funding being supplied from non- grant funding and the aim is to support members who have established a viable business with a small grant to assist with setup cost such as insurance, registration or professional support. Five such members received support during the 2010–2011 year. Wreck Bay community has good levels of fulltime employment; however there are still members who seek fulltime employment, preferably within the Jervis Bay Territory. The Shoalhaven region that adjoins the Jervis Bay Territory has one of the highest unemployment rates of any area within New South Wales. The community recognises the importance of education and has established a scholarship scheme to members, offering two annual scholarships to members who are completing fulltime post secondary school qualifications. The community received three applications for scholarships during the year so decided to increase its budget for this initiative and award each applicant a scholarship. The community understands that more Indigenous students are completing Year 12 High school education and then entering into fulltime tertiary or TAFE facilities; therefore appreciates demand for scholarships will increase. The community, recognising the importance of education, will continue with the scholarship program and when our ability to fund scholarships increases then it is likely that they will also be increased.

Compliance Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council, being a Commonwealth Authority, has compliance requirements that are taken seriously for obvious reasons. In relation to Commonwealth Fraud Control Guidelines, I report that during this reporting period, no evidence was found of any fraud within the organisation. I believe that adequate measures are in place to ensure that Fraud is minimised however we are also actively working to review and improve our processes and accountability to ensure that fraud doesn’t eventuate. In a situation where fraud is discovered we will report it, as required, to the Australian Institute of Criminology per their guideline 1.16 and seek the prosecution of offenders, accordingly.

The Future The future of Wreck Bay will always be positive with both challenges and opportunities being presented. The community has demonstrated enormous strength of character with an ability to move through difficult challenges to embrace change. I am confident that Wreck Bay community, a unique community in a special location, will be a feature of future Indigenous success. Our sincere thanks are expressed to the various funding departments and support networks who support us and who have placed faith in us by confirming funding and/or services for the next year and beyond. We are, again, looking forward to building on the productive and positive relationships with all out partners. This is my last report for the Wreck Bay Community and I have moved onto a different challenge, and I have been priviledged to have worked with the Wreck Bay Council and I wish you all well with your future endeavours. My impression is that you have tremendous

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 31 opportunities to develop and explore. I remind you of the NAIDOC theme for this year— ‘Change—the next step is ours’ - the theme is all about taking responsibility for your future.

Program Outcome Statement Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council (WBACC) does not receive annual appropriations; but applied for and received an annual grant under the program ‘Advancement of Rights to Land and Sea’ (ARLS). The grant is funded and managed through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) The program outcomes and objectives for the 2010–2011 year were to, Recognise the rights of Indigenous people to their lands and waters; and Provide effective governance and delivery of services by Indigenous organisations established under the Aboriginal Land Grant (Jervis Bay Territory) Act 1986 through: hh Provision of effective administration support to the WBACC Board by ensuring the smooth running of the WBACC office and Community facilities and provision of secretariat support to the WBACC Board; hh Ensure community services are delivered in accordance with agreed standards; hh Contribute to the development and implementation of the staff training strategy; and hh Manage the Service Level Agreement with Wreck Bay Enterprise Limited (WBEL) to ensure land management activities are conducted as per the agreement.

Performance reporting Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council has a diverse range of functions to perform within its Land Grant Act. The community invests funds obtained from the lease of its lands to the Director of National Parks into areas of funding shortfall and into programs that enhance the lives and opportunities of all registered members of the WBACC. The following is a brief summary of the outcomes/output that the community achieves using a blend of government grant funds and its own resources. The outcomes are split into areas of Administration, Governance, Commonwealth Disability Strategy, Land management, Community Services, Community Liaison plus other matters.

34 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Administration The Council employs 32 permanent staff overall plus casuals during the year when the need arises. The Council Administration has five staff including a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, General Manager plus two clerical support staff. The Gudjahgahmiamia Early Education centre employs eight staff including a Director, two team leaders, two assistants, two trainees and one bus driver/handyman. The Council also employs a Family Support worker The Council is funded from a number of sources including the Department of Family, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs for the purposes of Administration and Land management, Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations for the Early Education centre, Department of ACT Family Services for the Family Support Worker, Department of Human Services for the Centrelink Agent/Access Point facility, Department of Regional Australia provides funding for the purpose of Local Government, Land Council and Housing and the Department of Environment and Heritage for a Community Liaison function for the Joint Management of Booderee National Park. A key role of the Council Administration is to assist the Board in meeting its statutory requirements and to maintain and where possible strengthen the existing partnerships and where opportunities arise develop new partnerships with agencies that are able to support the Council in achieving outcomes for the Community. The WBACC continues to provide a number of services to the Community. These services can range from direct assistance to referral advice. Assistance provided during the year includes: hh Early Education/Child Care Centre hh Casual employment opportunities hh Office service facilities including internet access hh Postal service hh Support for Education and Sport including scholarships hh Employment traineeships hh Support for health services hh Provision of housing including bond assistance hh Children school holiday recreation programs hh Organising community functions hh Advocacy service hh Centrelink Agency.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 35 Governance Executive meetings are scheduled for the third Monday of each month plus extra meetings as necessary. The Executive Board met officially eight times during the past year. Joint Management meetings of Booderee National Park were held in October, November, January, February, May and June during the past year as a new ten year plan of management is being finalised to guide the management of the Park. An Executive Sub-Committee (land Management/Cultural Heritage) met a number of times during the year to provide input into Cultural and Natural heritage chapters of the new Plan of Management. Two further sub-committees have been promoted but are yet to be operational. The two additional sub-committees will operate under portfolios of Community Service and Governance with the Community Service sub-committee having responsibility for health, education, early childhood programs, housing, youth & sport programs, drug and alcohol programs, family support services plus aged and home care services. The Governance sub-committee will focus on policy development and implementation, by-laws and strategic planning. Governance training was provided to all executive and senior staff during the year and this will be extended to all participants of sub-committees and interested community members. OH&S policy has been developed and adopted, the OH&S committee have met on a regular basis to identify and address issues. The Gudjahgahmiamia early education centre moved into new premises during 2010 that alleviated many potential OH&S hazards for that department. An Audit committee is established per CAC Act and is meeting regularly. The community invests most of its revenue obtained from the leasing of Booderee National Park to the Director of National Parks into community services and programs that are not currently funded through existing grants and partnerships. The role of the Audit committee is therefore seen as a dual role to both report against government funding sources plus to ensure that community investment is targeted and appropriate. Community liaison meetings held with WBACC & BNP are held regularly. Community liaison is an important function to both the community and Park management. The community owns the Park land and leases to the Director of National Parks, it therefore has a vested interest in how the Park is managed for future generations. The role of the meetings is also critically important to the Park management to transfer information through the WBACC administration back to the community members and to obtain information from the community perspective to enhance critical decision making within the Park. The Annual General meeting for the WBACC was held on 24 October, 2010. Sixty one members were in attendance.

Commonwealth Disability Strategy Since 1994, Commonwealth departments and agencies have reported on their performance as policy adviser, purchaser, employer, regulator and provider under the Commonwealth Disability Strategy. In 2007–08, reporting on the employer role was transferred to the Australian Public Service Commission’s State of the Service Report and the APS Statistical

36 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Bulletin. These reports are available at www.apsc.gov.au. From 2010–11, departments and agencies are no longer required to report on these functions. The Commonwealth Disability Strategy has been overtaken by a new National Disability Strategy which sets out a ten year national policy framework for improving life for Australians with disability, their families and carers. A high level report to track progress for people with disability at a national level will be produced by the Standing Council on Community, Housing and Disability Services to the Council of Australian Governments and will be available at www.fahcsia.gov.au. The Social Inclusion Measurement and Reporting Strategy agreed by the Government in December 2009 will also include some reporting on disability matters in its regular How Australia is Faring report and, if appropriate, in strategic change indicators in agency Annual Reports. More detail on social inclusion can be found at www.socialinclusion.gov.au.

Land Matters Unsealed roads and walking tracks within the 403 hectares were maintained during the year. Community access to land and sea is an important social and cultural requirement within Wreck Bay. The Wreck Bay people are traditional fishermen and many of their traditional fishing areas and cultural sites are accessed from within the Wreck Bay 403 hectares. The work involved in maintaining the roads and tracts is contracted to Wreck Bay Enterprise Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the WBACC thereby providing critical employment in an area of traditional high unemployment. Bitou bush eradication program is continuing with positive results. Bitou bush is a weed of National significance; it was introduced to Jervis Bay Territory to stabilise sand dunes and has spread throughout the coastal areas of the Park and community land. It grows aggressively and competes with plants that provide traditional sources of bush tucker and/or are used for cultural practices. It is important to the community that this weed is controlled within their lands. This control program employs one fulltime employee with potential subject to funding to employ more. The community is investigating training programs such as Greencorp to endeavour to conduct an intensive weed eradication program targeting Bitou bush. Sea Spurge is another infestation that is being tackled as funding is available. The funding is not a direct grant into the Jervis Bay Territory. It is allocated throughout the NSW coastline and we obtain funding indirectly through the Shoalhaven Council and the Booderee National Park. The community has several residential properties located on sand dunes overlooking Summercloud Bay that were protected with retaining walls when initially constructed. Many of the original retaining walls are in need of replacement. The community has the personnel to complete the work but not the funds therefore as funding is available, this work will be completed thus providing both training and employment for Indigenous employees within the Communities enterprise. Various pine rail access barriers within the community are in need of replacement and these will be completed during 2011–2012.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 37 Wreck Bay is located within a high risk bush fire zone, the importance of having and maintaining a well trained organised bush fire team is understood. The community has its own bush fire facility that is attached to and supported by the NSW Rural Bush Fire Service.

38 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 intended that Council will be adopting appropriate technologies to reduce travel and its dependency on paper—based filing systems; subject to funding.

Occupational Health And Safety 1. Section 74 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 (Cth) (the OHS Act) relates to the annual reports of departments and Commonwealth Authorities. 2. In accordance with subsection 74(1) of the OHS Act, Council’s annual report is to include details of the following matters:- (a) the health and safety management arrangements of Council. Council’s response: Council continues to fulfil its responsibilities under the Act. Council will shortly be establishing a Health and Safety Committee consisting of Council staff, who will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to protect employees from risks to their health and safety. This Committee will work closely with the policies currently in place relating to work place health and safety. There were no accidents or dangerous occurrences during the year that arose out of the conduct of undertakings by Council that required the giving of notice under Section 68 of the Act. There were no investigations conducted during the year that related to undertakings carried out by Council and there were no notices given to the Council under Sections 29, 46 or 47 of the Act during the year. The Health and Safety Committee will work cooperatively to manage all of Council’s occupational health and safety policy and operational matters. Staff members are always informed of current issues and receive occupational health and safety publications from Comcare. Council has trained staff who undertake duties as first aid officers, fire wardens and occupational health and safety officers. (b) initiatives taken during the year to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of employees and contractors of Council.

All Council staff receive up to date information on key developments in the human resources sector such as EEO, harasment free workplaces and workplace diversity. Staff can also access publications from the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC), the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) and other related agencies. Further, Council fosters and promotes industrial democracy through regular management, program area and staff meetings. As appropriate, it consults with employees on: Major workplace changes. The development of guidelines and policies applying to employment

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 39 conditions and implementation of an Enterprise Agreement. The current Enterprise Agreement which, while designed to end on 30 June 2011; will remain in effect until replaced by the 2011–2014 agreement; which is expected to take effect as of and from 1 July 2012. Additionally, the Privacy Commissioner did not issue a report on the Council under Section 30 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and no personal privacy complaints were made against the Council during the reporting period. (c) health and safety outcomes (including the impact on injury rates of employees and contractors of the Council) achieved as a result of initiatives mentioned under paragraphs (a) and (b) above. Council’s response: There were no injuries sustained by employees or contractors of Council during the year and this can be attributed to strong policies and management; together with employee awareness of workplace dangers. Further, Council staff attend Faud Awareness workshops to raise awareness and knowledge regarding fraud and its effects on Council. Council also uses a wide range of computer based training products to assist staff with computer programs, customer services skills and telephone techniques. Additionally, all staff had the opportunity to attend training courses throughout the year including program and project management training, career development, cross cultural awareness training, Indigenous career trek workshops, leadership training and effective writing skills.

Community Programs School holiday programs were established and conducted at Wreck Bay during 2010–2011. Wreck Bay can be considered as a remote community for purposes of Service Delivery therefore it has adopted a proactive program funded from its own resources to ensure that the children of the community are not disadvantaged with a lack of programs over the school holidays. NAIDOC week programs were held during July 2010. NAIDOC week is a significant event to the people of Wreck Bay and celebrations are planned each year to compliment the chosen theme. The celebrations are designed to cater for all demographics within the community. The Celebrations commence with a symbolic flag raising ceremony that is open for all Indigenous people from the region plus territory residents and invited guests from the Shoalhaven region. The new Gudjahgahmiamia Early Education and Day-care facility was completed and staff and children moved into the new complex during March 2010. The new centre increases capacity to 30 children with additional staff employed to supervise the increased numbers. The centre is funded through a Multi Aboriginal Community Service grant from the Department of Employment, Education and Workplace Relations plus contributions from the WBACC, parent fees and ongoing fund raising activities. The Street renaming and numbering project was completed during 2010 and now are all entered onto the National Grid. This was a major issue that required addressing and

40 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 was completed with immediate positive results with emergency services entering the community now being able to locate their required destinations without relying on community residents to direct them. The community employed a family support worker for a twelve month trial from January 2009, this service was extended to June 2010 although both the funding and program guidelines have yet to be confirmed for the period from January to June 2011. The WBACC is currently funding this valuable program until a suitable funding grant can be confirmed. The Community has demonstrated a need for the service plus possibly an enhanced program so extends appreciations to the Department of Regional Australia and the Canberra Office of Youth, Children and Family Services for their initial support with the program. WBACC has an MOU formalised with Noah’s Ark which is an organisation that provides early childhood support programs within the Shoalhaven region. The services are delivered into the community through both the Community clinic plus the Early Childhood centre. Health services are being supplied through Illawarra Area Health, Waminda and Aboriginal Medical Service. Wreck Bay community has a modern clinic building within the community and has managed to negotiate regular services to be provided within the community from the above service providers. A visiting General Practitioner visits the community one day per week and other specialised medical services as available.

Community Liaison Function The Community Liaison function allows for meaningful involvement by the Wreck Bay Community in the joint management of Booderee National park. This function is funded annually by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts as part of the original commitment made by the Commonwealth for the Community to enter into lease arrangements with the Director of National parks. Community Liaison Function provides a communication link between the Director through Park management and the Community council; it also supports Traditional Owner representatives on the Booderee National Park Board of Management.

Training Training is critical to the ongoing success of the community as it develops to a position where it can ultimately manage all its own land and waters. The community has developed employment opportunities through its enterprise division by providing a range of contracted services to Booderee National Park plus a range of services conducted for the community administration, early childhood centre and the community itself. Training will be critical if the community is to reach its goal of sole managing its land and waters.

Centrelink Agency The Council has been contracted by Centrelink to provide an Agency/Access point for clients to contact Centrelink on issues relating to services that are available to them.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 41 Being a Centrelink Agent/Access point the Council Administration can then provide access to Centrelink forms, publications, telephone and facsimile services and are able to respond to most general enquiries plus provide a direct link to Centrelink staff, including specialists if more assistance is required. As an Agent we are also able to provide access to the internet and assistance to customers in the use of self help products, accept claim forms and other documentation required to be lodged with Centrelink, provide advice on Centrelink and some other Government services and payments.

Jervis Bay Territory Networking The Council has an ongoing commitment to participate in various committees formed to effectively plan and advocate for the residents of the Jervis Bay Territory. The committees include: hh Jervis Bay Territory Focus Group hh Jervis Bay Territory Public Health and Environment Working Group hh Jervis Bay Territory Justice Issues Group; and hh Jervis Bay Emergency Management Committee.

All quotations were made on an accrual accounting basis which in most cases increased the margin for each quoted job and project that was approved by customers. The total income over the financial year was $2,401,710. Services that have been rendered to the parent company totalled $323,234. Effectively this figure will drop the income to $2,078,476 for the financial year. The overall income for the previous financial year 2009–2010 was $2,103,822. This financial year income has decreased by $25,346. This is a fair better result since the Global Financial Crisis in October 2008 where the company suffered an income loss of $340,955 for that financial year.

Overview of Operational Activities 2010–2011 Entry Station The Entry Station recorded a loss of $4,757 for the 2010–2011 financial year. The current Service Level Agreement was found to have used out dated rates of fee per service dating

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 45 back to April 2008. Since then two successive fee increases have taken place and were not taken into account when renewing the Service Level Agreement. In saying the above the Service Level Agreement continues to be successful for both parties resulting in an increase in gate takings over and above last financial year. The closure of the outside lane during peak periods has aided in the capture of the extra income for both the Booderee National Park and the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council.

Cleaning and Horticulture With both these departments combined they have recorded a profit of $18,304 for the 2010–2011 financial year. This result is an increase of $17,338 from last financial year. The Cleaning Services Service Level Agreement continues also to be successful. The High, Low and Shoulder seasons have been clearly defined during the year and the hours relating to work required can be effectively put into a timetable. During the Peak Season under the Service Level Agreement two shifts operate between 6.30am and 6.30pm to ensure visitor and camping facilities are kept up to a maximum standard. The end result is fewer complaints will be made by users of the Park’s facilities. In addition the Cleaning section conducts cleaning services for the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council infrastructure assets. The Horticulture section has continued its work for Serco Sodexho looking after parts of the Navy’s airfield and trig station within the Jervis Bay Territory. The section is also responsible for the up keep of the Wreck Bay Village and Summercloud Bay picnic area.

46 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Roads and Buildings With both these department combined they have recorded a profit of $45,305 for the 2010–2011 financial year. This result is an increase of $163,582 from last financial year. The increase was largely due to the completion of capital expenditure for 2010–2011 before the end of the financial year. Included also was some carry over works from the 2009–2010 capital works program. In addition a storm came through the Park in July and caused damage to a few management trails and some areas of the Botanic Gardens. The building section also continues to achieve great results with the completion of its capital expenditure works program for Booderee National Park. An infrastructure SLA is currently under review and should be completed ready for the 2011–2012 financial year The Service Level Agreement for the Roads & Trails section is currently being revised and benchmarked.

Administration The administration section has its own Service Level Agreement with Council, in that it provides administration services for the Council. Some of those duties include accounts payable and receivable, payroll services and acquittal of grants. Any income generated by the administration section is used to reduce overheads costs and minimise the contribution made by other sections to management fees.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 47 Training During the financial year staff attended the following training courses and conferences: hh Comcare: Case Management Essentials (Canberra and Sydney) hh Comcare: OHS HSR Course (Canberra) hh Bereavement Services (Grave Digging) hh RTA Traffic Control (Red Card) hh RTA Traffic Control (Blue Card) hh Chainsaw Basics Level One hh Chainsaw Level Two hh Indigenous Land and Sea Conference (Broken Hill) hh Indigenous Women’s Wellbeing Conference (Darwin) hh Global Information System hh Using Industrial Chemicals hh Indigenous Career Trek.

48 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Organisational Employment The present level of employment is Fourteen Fulltime employees, with Four Permanent Part Time operators and additional from time to time there could be as many as ten casuals. Casuals are employed during times when employees take annual leave for an extended period and also when extra workers are required to complete extra tasks approved by either Booderee National Park or Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council.

Envisaged Level of Employment Any increase in staff numbers will not happen for some time unless extra Service Level Agreements are negotiated between Booderee National Park and the Council.

Service Level Agreements SLA for Roads The Service Level Agreement is in negotiation with the Booderee National Park and is currently being benchmarked. The current Service Level Agreement annual value is $287,951 with a monthly value of $23,996. The agreement provides employment for four fulltime staff and once every quarter can provide employment for four casual for a two week period.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 49 SLA for Entry Station The Service Level Agreement is currently being negotiated with the Booderee National Park and is currently being benchmarked. The current Service Level Agreement annual value is $166,580 with a monthly value of $13,881. The agreement provides employment for one fulltime staff and one weekend casual during off peak and shoulder seasons. In the Peak season it provides employment for six additional casual staff with hours being extended to cover the summer period when visitation is at its peak.

SLA for Cleaning The Service Level Agreement is in negotiation with the Booderee National Park and is currently being benchmarked. The current Service Level Agreement annual value is $360,948 with a monthly value of $30,079. This agreement provides employment for one fulltime staff member and three permanent part time staff. During the peak season four additional casual staff are employed to cover the double shift.

SLA’s included in Phase 2 Grounds Maintenance Building and Infrastructure Both these Proposed Service Level Agreements are being benchmarked and will come into effect sometime in the 2011–2012 financial year. Neville Hampton General Manager Corporate and Contract Services 31 August 2011

60 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 1.1 Objective of Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Council is an Australian Government controlled entity. The objective of Council is to benefit the local community through services and support. The agency is structured to meet the following outcomes: Outcome 1: To consider and where practicable, take action for the benefit of the community in relation to housing, social welfare, education, training or health needs of the members of the community. Outcome 2: To conduct business enterprises for the economic or social benefit of the community. The continued existence of the Council in its present form and with its present programs is dependant on Government policy and on continuing funding by Parliament for the Council's administration and programs. 1.2 Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements The financial statements are general purpose financial statements and are required by clause 1(b) of schedule 1 to the Commonwealth Authorities and Companies Act 1997. The continued existence of the Council in its present form and with its present programs is dependant on Government policy and on continuing appropriations by Parliament for the Council’s administration and programs. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with: hh Finance Minister’s Orders (or FMOs) for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2010; and hh Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that apply for the reporting period. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and is in accordance with historical cost convention, except for certain assets at fair value. Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest dollar unless otherwise specified.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 61 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 Unless an alternative treatment is specifically required by an Accounting Standard or the FMOs, assets and liabilities are recognised in the Council and Consolidated Balance Sheets when and only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity or a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and the amounts of the assets or liabilities can be reliably measured. However, assets and liabilities arising under executor contracts are not recognised unless required by an accounting standard. Liabilities and assets that are unrecognised are reported in the schedule of commitments or the schedule of contingencies. Unless alternative treatment is specifically required by an accounting standard, income and expenses are recognised in the Council and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when and only when the flow, consumption or loss of economic benefits has occurred and can be reliably measured. 1.3 Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates In the process of applying the accounting policies listed in this note, Council has made a judgement that have the most significant impact on the amounts recorded in the financial statements: hh The fair value of land and buildings has been taken to be the market value of similar properties as determined by an independent valuer. In some instances, Council buildings are purpose-built and may in fact realise more or less in the market. No accounting assumptions or estimates have been identified that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 1.4 Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are those of the economic entity, comprising Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council (the parent entity) and Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited. The accounts of Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited are prepared for the period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 using accounting policies which are consistent with those of the Council. The effects of transactions and balances between the entities are eliminated in full. 1.5 New Accounting Standards Adoption of new Australian Accounting Standard requirements No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. No new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are applicable in the current period have had a material financial affect on the Council and consolidated entity. Future Australian Accounting Standard requirements New standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations that are applicable to future periods have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. It is estimated that adopting these pronouncements, when effective, will have no material impact on future reporting periods. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact follows:

62 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 (i) AASB 1053 Application of tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010–2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - These standards are applicable for financial years ended 30 June 2014 and provide reduced annual reporting disclosures for entities meeting the criteria. The Government has, to date, not taken a position on whether the Council will be able to access this new reporting regime. 1.6 Revenue The revenues described in this Note are revenues relating to the core operating activities of the Council and consolidated entity. Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when: hh The risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer; hh The seller retains no managerial involvement nor effective control over the goods; hh The revenue and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and hh It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Council. Revenue from rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date. The revenue is recognised when: hh The amount of revenue, stage of completion and transaction costs incurred can be reliably measured; and hh The probable economic benefits from the transaction will flow to the Council. The stage of completion of contracts at the reporting date is determined by reference to the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to the estimated total costs of the transaction. Receivables for goods and services, which have 30 day terms, are recognised at the nominal amounts due less any provision for bad and doubtful debts. Collectability of debts is reviewed at balance date. Provisions are made when collectability of the debt is no longer probable. Interest Revenue is recognised using the effective interest method as set out in AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Revenue from Government Grants received from Commonwealth Departments for the year are recognised in the period to which they relate. 1.7 Gains Sale of Assets Gains from disposals of non-current assets are recognised when control of the asset has passed to the buyer.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 63 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 1.8 Employee Benefits Liabilities for ‘short-term employee benefits’ (as defined AASB 119 Employee Benefits) and termination benefits due within twelve months of balance date are measured at their nominal amounts. The nominal amount is calculated with regard to the rates expected to be paid on settlement of the liability. Other long-term employee benefits are measured as net total of the present value ofthe defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period minus the fair value at the end of the reporting period of plan assets (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly. Leave The liability for employee benefits includes provision for annual leave and long service leave. No provision has been made for sick leave as all sick leave is paid out at financial year end. The leave liabilities are calculated on the basis of employees’ remuneration, including the Council’s employer superannuation contribution rates, to the extent that the leave is likely to be taken during service rather than paid out on termination. The liability for long service leave takes into account attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation. Superannuation Employees of Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council (parent entity), and Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited are members of the AMP Superleader Scheme, the Health Employees Superannuation Trust Australia (HESTA) and the Integral Superannuation Fund. Employer Contributions amounting to $116,274 (2009–10: $166,979) for the economic entity and $22,738 (2009–10: $58,280) for the Council, in relation to these schemes have been expensed in these financial statements. The liability for superannuation recognised as at 30 June represents outstanding contributions for the final fortnight of the year. 1.9 Leases A distinction is made between finance leases and operating leases. Finance leases effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of leased assets. An operating lease is a lease that is not a finance lease. In operating leases, the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits. Where an asset is acquired by means of a finance lease, the asset is capitalised at either the fair value of the lease property or, if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the contract and a liability is recognised at the same time and for the same amount.

Leased assets are amortised over the period of the lease. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component and the interest expense. Operating lease payments are expensed on a straight-line basis which is representative of the pattern of benefits derived from the leased assets. 1.10 Borrowing Costs All borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. 1.11 Cash Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and demand deposits in bank accounts with an original maturity of 3 months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash is recognised at its nominal amount. 1.12 Financial Assets Council classifies its financial assets in the following categories: ‘Loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’. Effective Interest Method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis except for financial assets that are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Loans and Receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by using the effective interest rate. Impairment of Financial Assets Financial assets are assessed for impairment at end of each reporting period. Financial assets held at amortised cost—If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for loans and receivables or held to maturity investments held at amortised cost, 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 discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 65 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 1.13 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’. Other Financial Liabilities Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, netof transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. hh The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Supplier and Other Payables Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced). 1.14 Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets are not recognised in the balance sheet but are reported in the relevant schedules and notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote. 1.15 Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts are accounted for in accordance with AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. They are not treated as a contingent liability, as they are regarded as financial instruments outside the scope of AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. 1.16 Acquisition of Assets Assets are recorded at cost on acquisition except as stated below. The cost of the acquisition includes the fair value of assets transferred in exchange and liabilities undertaken. Financial assets are initially measured at their fair value plus transaction costs where appropriate. Assets acquired at no cost, or for nominal consideration, are initially recognised as assets and income at their fair value at the date of acquisition.

66 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 1.17 Property, Plant and Equipment Asset Recognition Threshold Purchases of property, plant and equipment are recognised initially at cost in the balance sheet, except for purchases costing less than $300, which are expensed in the year of acquisition (other than where they form part of a group of similar items which are significant in total). Revaluations Fair values for each class of asset are determined as shown below:

Asset Class Fair value measured at Land Market value Buildings Exc. Leasehold Improvements Market value Leasehold Improvements Depreciated replacement cost Plant & Equipment Depreciated replacement cost Following initial recognition at cost, property plant and equipment were carried at fair value less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Valuations were conducted with sufficient frequency to ensure that the carrying amounts of assets did not differ materially from the assets’ fair values at the reporting date. The regularity of independent valuations depended upon the volatility of movements in market values for the relevant assets. Revaluation adjustments were made on a class basis. Any revaluation increment was credited to equity under the heading of asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that it reversed a previous revaluation decrement of the same asset class that was previously recognised in the surplus,deficit. Revaluation decrements for a class of assets were recognised directly in the surplus/deficit except to the extent that they reversed a previous revaluation increment for that class. Any accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date were eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the asset restated to the revalued amount. Depreciation Depreciable property plant and equipment assets are written-off to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives to Council using, in all cases, the straight-line method of depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the unexpired period of the lease. Depreciation rates (useful lives), residual values and methods are reviewed at each reporting date and necessary adjustments are recognised in the current, or current and future reporting periods, as appropriate.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 67 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 Depreciating rates applying to each class of depreciable asset are based on the following useful lives:

2011 2010 Buildings on freehold land 40 years 40 years Plant and Equipment 3 to 10 years 3 to 10 years

The aggregate amount of depreciation allocated for each class of asset during the reporting period is disclosed in Note 4E. Impairment All assets were assessed for impairment at 30 June 2011. Where indications of impairment exist, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment adjustment made if the asset’s recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Where the future economic benefit of an asset is not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate future cash flows, and the asset would be replaced if Council were deprived the asset, its value in use is take to be its depreciated replacement cost. No indicators of impairment were found for assets at fair value. Derecognition 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. 1.18 Investment Properties Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Investment properties are derecognised either when they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gain or losses on disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit and loss in the year of disposal. 1.19 Taxation The Council is exempt from all forms of taxation except fringe benefits tax (FBT) and the goods and services tax (GST). However, pursuant to a ruling issued by the Australian Taxation Office in May 2002, the Council’s controlled entity, Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited; is not exempt from income tax.

68 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council ABN: 62 564 797 956 Notes to and forming part of the financial statements As at 30th June 2011 Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST except: hh where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and hh for receivables and payables. Income Tax The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non-assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited to the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. hh The amount of the benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of GST: hh Except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office; and hh Except for receivables and payables. 1.20 Insurance The Council places its general insurance through Austbrokers Insurance Pty Ltd. General insurance is placed with AIB Insurance Brokers, directors and officers insurance with QBE Insurance, motor vehicle cover with Allianz Australia Insurance Ltd and workers compensation is insured through Comcare.

16E Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potential default of a debtor. This amount is equal to the total amount for trade receivables ( Council 2011: $216,213 and 2010: $166,827; Subsidiary 2011: $nil and 2010: $268,360). Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council has assessed the risk of the default on payment and has allocated $nil in 2011 (2010: $nil) to an allowance for doubtful debts account. The Council manages its credit risk by undertaking background and credit checks prior to allowing a debtor relationship. In addition, it has policies and procedures that guide employees debt recovery techniques that are to be applied. Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council has no collateral to mitigate against credit risk.

16F Liquidity Risk Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council's financial liabilities are payables, finance leases and other interest and non-interest bearing liabilities. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the Council will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. This is highly unlikely due to Government funding and internal policies and procedures put in place to ensure there are appropriate resources to meet its financial liabilities. The following table illustrates the maturities for financial liabilities: Consolidated On Demand Wtihin 1 1 to 5 Years > 5 Years Total 2011 2011 $ Year 2011 $ 2011 $ 2011 $ $ Trade creditors - 213,246 -- 213,246 Accrued expenses - 52,190 -- 52,190 Borrowings - 104,376 18,802 - 123,178 Rent in Advance (PARK) - 64,374 -- 64,374 Grants in Advance - 70,794 -- 70,794 Total - 504,980 18,802 - 523,782 On Demand Wtihin 1 Year 1 to 5 Years > 5 Years Total 2010 2010 $ 2010 $ 2010 $ 2010 $ $ Trade creditors - 119,936 - - 119,936 Accrued Expenses - 50,790 - - 50,790 Borrowings - 65,772 123,178 - 188,950 Rent in Advance (PARK) - 70,244 - - 70,244 Grants in Advance - 343,008 - - 343,008 Total - 649,752 123,178 - 772,928 Council On Demand Wtihin 1 1 to 5 Years > 5 Years Total 2011 2011 $ Year 2011 $ 2011 $ 2011 $ $ Trade creditors - 213,246 - - 213,246 Accrued expenses - 52,190 - - 52,190 Subsidiary (WBEL) - - - - - Rent in Advance (PARK) - 64,374 - - 64,374 Grants in Advance - 70,794 - - 70,794 Total - 400,604 - - 400,604 On Demand Wtihin 1 Year 1 to 5 Years > 5 Years Total 2010 $ 2010 $ 2010 $ 2010 $ 2010 $ Trade creditors - 22,149 - - 22,149 Accrued expenses - 34,790 - - 34,790 Subsidiary (WBEL) - 13,176 - - 13,176 Rent in Advance (PARK) - 70,244 - - 70,244 Grants in Advance - 343,008 - - 343,008 Total - 483,367 - - 483,367 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council is funded by the Australian Government.

In addition, Council has policies in place to ensure timely payment are made when due and has no past experience of default.

16G Market Risk Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Limited holds basic financial instruments that do not expose the entity to certain market risks. Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council is not exposed to ‘currency risk’ or ‘other price risk’.

Interest Rate Risk

Financial Assets: The Council maintains operating and interest bearing bank accounts to manage cash. The operating and interest bearing bank accounts bear interest at rates from 0.01% to 8.25% (2010: 0.01% to 8.25%).

Other Liabilities: The finance leases and interest bearing liabilities have fixed interest rates and thus do not expose the company to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates vary between 7.5% to 11.05% (2010: 7.5–11.05%).

94 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Directors Report Your Directors are pleased to present the financial statements of the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council’s (WBACC) wholly owned subsidiary—Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited (WBEL) as at 30th June 2011. This is the eleventh annual report for the company and details the tenth full year of trading of the company.

The Year’s Results The Company made a net profit of $29,796 during the year after deductions of non-cash items consisting of depreciation ($86,739) on assets and staff entitlements ($96,076) at 30 June 2011. Taking into account these figures WBEL made a gross profit of $212,611 for the 2010–2011 financial year. Sales for the year were $2,078,476 in comparison with $2,103,822 during 2009–2010, $2,143,887 during 2008–2009 and $2,424,518 during 2007-2008. During the year WBEL paid $1,250,000 in employee benefits. This is an important input in the form of salaries into the Wreck Bay Community. Whilst the income for the company has declined during the past years, the organisation is well supported by its major customers: Booderee National Park and Serco Sodexho, and its parent organisation the WBACC. We express our thanks to all those entities who have given WBEL the opportunity to participate in their operations. It is important to mention that during the year the Company has operated without any Government grant or subsidy of any kind. This outcome is in keeping with the Community’s Vision Statement and Goals to be financially independent.

102 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited ABN: 42 093 444 869 Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30th June 2011 Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). The financial report is for the entity Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited as an individual entity. Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 27th June 2000 and domiciled in Australia.

Basis of Preparation Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded that would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Material accounting policies adopted in preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. The financial report has been prepared on an accrual basis and is based on historical costs and does not take into account changing money values, or except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Taxes Income Tax: The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the year adjusted for any non- assessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the company will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

GST: Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the Balance Sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Plant and equipment Leasehold improvements, plant and equipment are measured on the fair value basis.

Fair values for each class of asset are determined as shown below:

Asset Class Fair Value measured at: Leasehold Improvements Depreciated Replacement Cost Office & Computer Equipment Depreciated Replacement Cost Furniture & Fittings Depreciated Replacement Cost Plant & Equipment Market Selling Price Motor Vehicle Market Selling Price

Depreciation The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the useful lives to the company commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate Leasehold improvements 2.5 – 5% Computers and Office Equipment 33.30% Furniture and fittings 20% Motor Vehicles 10% Plant and Equipment 10%

The asset's residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than it's estimated recoverable amount. Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains or losses are included in the income statement.

Capitalisation Thresholds Property, plant and equipment assets costing $300 (or the amount determined by the company) and above individually (or forming part of a network costing more than $300) are capitalised.

104 Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited ABN: 42 093 444 869 Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30th June 2011 Impairment of Assets At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such and the indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's recoverable amount is expensed to the Income Statement. Where the future economic benefits of the asset are not primarily dependent upon the asset's ability to generate net cash inflows and when the company would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is the depreciated replacement cost of an asset.

Leases Leases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not the legal ownership are transferred to the company are classified as finance leases. Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Employee Benefits Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages and salaries, and annual leave which will be settled after one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Other employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the net present value.

Contributions are made by the company to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash on hand and in at call deposits with banks or financial institutions, investments in money markets instruments maturing within less than three months. For the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Revenue Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 105 Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited ABN: 42 093 444 869 Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30th June 2011 Financial assets The company classifies its financial assets as 'loans and receivables''. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. Financial assets are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’.

Effective interest method The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Income is recognised on an effective interest rate basis.

Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non current assets. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Interest is recognised by applying the effective interest rate.

Impairment of financial assets Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each balance date. Financial assets held at amortised cost - If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred for loans and receivables held at amortised cost, 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 discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount is reduced by way of an allowance account. The loss is recognised in the Income Statement.

Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ or other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are recognised and derecognised upon ‘trade date’.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.

Other financial liabilities Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.

Supplier and other payables Supplier and other payables are recognised at amortised cost. Liabilities are recognised to the extent that the goods or services have been received (and irrespective of having been invoiced).

Comparative Figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of a future event occurring and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the company.

Adoption of New and Revised Accounting Standards During the current year the Company adopted all of the new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations applicable to its operations which became mandatory. The adoption of these standards has impacted the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain transactions, as shown below.

AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements In September 2007 the Australian Accounting Standards Board revised AASB 101 and as a result, there have been changes to the presentation and disclosure of certain information within the financial statements. Below is an overview of the key changes and the impact on the Company's financial statements.

Disclosure Impact Terminology Changes—The revised version of AASB 101 contains a number of terminology changes, including amendment of the names of primary financial statements. Reporting Changes in Equity- The revised AASB 101 requires all changes in equity arising from transactions with owners, in their capacity as owners, to be presented separately from non-owner changes in equity. Owner changes in equity are to be presented in the Statement of Changes in Equity, with non-owner changes in equity presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The previous version of AASB 101 required that owner changes in equity and other comprehensive income be presented in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Statement of Comprehensive Income—The revised AASB 101 requires all income and expenses to be presented in either one statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, or two statements, a separate Income Statement and a Statement of Comprehensive Income. The previous version of AASB 101 required only the presentation of a single Income Statement. The Company's financial statements now contain a Statement of Comprehensive Income. Other Comprehensive Income—The revised version of AASB 101 introduces the concept of 'other comprehensive income' which comprises income and expenses that are not recognised in profit or loss as required by other Australian Accounting Standards. Items of other comprehensive income are to be disclosed in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Entities are required to disclose the income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income. The previous version of AASB 101 did not contain an equivalent concept.

Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Annual Report 2010–2011 107 Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited ABN: 42 093 444 869 Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended 30th June 2011 New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Periods

The AASB has issued new and amended accounting standards and interpretation that have mandatory application dates for future reporting periods. The Company has decided against early adoption of these standards. A discussion of those future requirements and their impact follows:

(i) AASB 9: Financial Instruments & AASB 2009–11: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 [AASB 1,3,4,5,7,101,108,112,118,121,127,128,131,132,136,139,1023 & 11038 & Interpretations 10 & 12] (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013). These standards are applicable retrospectively and amend the classification and measurement of financial assets. The Company has not yet determined any potential impact on the financial statements.

(ii) AASB 2009–12: Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards [AASBs 5,8,108,110,112,119,133,137 137,102 & 1031 and Interpretations 2,4,16,1039 & 1052] (applicable annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2011). This standards makes a number of editorial amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, including amendments to reflect changes made by the text of IFRSs by the IASB.

(iii) AASB 1053 Application of tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards—These standards are applicable for financial years ended 30 June 2014 and provide reduced annual reporting disclosures for entities meeting the criteria. The Government has, to date, not taken a position on whether the Company will be able to access this new reporting regime. The Company does not anticipate early adoption of any of the above Australian Accounting Standards.

This amount is equal to the total amount for trade receivables (2011: $nil and 2010: $268,360). Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited has assessed the risk of the default on payment and has found it unneccessary to allow for doubtful debts at balance date. Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited manages its credit risk by undertaking background and credit checks prior to allowing a debtor relationship. In addition, it has policies and procedures that guide employees debt recovery techniques that are to be applied. Wreck Bay Enterprises has no collateral to mitigate against credit risk.

20F Liquidity Risk Wreck Bay Enterprises Limited's financial liabilities are payables, finance leases and other interest and non-interest bearing liabilities. The exposure to liquidity risk is based on the notion that the company will encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities are maintained.
