PI F6 Unfunded depreciation ratio PI F7 Change in community equity ratio

Objective: This is the percentage of a Council’s annual Objective: This ratio indicates the percentage growth or decline in depreciation expense not funded from current revenue. a Council’s net wealth over the financial year.

Formula: Unfunded depreciation Formula: Closing total community equity - opening total Depreciation and amortisation expense community equity Opening total community equity

Explanatory The ‘funding’ of depreciation creates a pool of cash Explanatory Normally a Council would expect a small growth in Information: available for spending on loan redemption, asset Information: community equity for the year. However, since 1998/99 purchase and replacement. Councils will normally fully financial year Councils have recognised assets which fund depreciation. Anything less would be did not previously appear in their accounts and this has unsustainable in the long-term and would be reflected resulted in artificially high figures appearing for some by a high percentage for this indicator. Councils in the year these assets were recognised.

In the short-term, the need to unfund depreciation may arise for numerous reasons, such as the newness of assets, their method of financing or the size of Council’s replacement reserves.

In particular, unfunded depreciation may be due to the fact that many Councils have only recently accounted for all their assets and so estimates of useful life of these assets used in calculating the depreciation are not yet easily determined and may be unduly pessimistic.

� For some Councils rate and utility debtors are not comprised entirely of rate arrears. A proportion may relate to current rates accounts (eg. for supplementary rate notices issued in June 2003 or pensioner rebate amounts outstanding from the State). � Ratio for 2003/04 may be slightly distorted due to variance from previous year's definition for net rate revenue. * Aurukun and Mornington do not have any rateable properties. As such, community levies are charged instead of rates. < Calculation for 2003/04 includes an amount for the first round of water consumption charges under a two part tariff. Prior to this water charges were issued well prior to 30th June. � Total Depreciation and Unfunded Depreciation includes prior year adjustments for Roads. Road network will undergo a review during 2002/03 to determine correct depreciation. + Ratio distorted due to inclusion of water consumption charges and special water charges accrued but not yet in arrears. (If affected amount was excluded, the ratio of rate arrears would be approximately 8% for 2000/01 and 1999/00). # Non-current assets were revalued at 30 June 2002 leading to a significant loss on revaluation of some classes of assets and increments in other classes. & The significant write down in Community Equity primarily related to an extensive review of the values attributed to road infrastructure. > The reduction in Total Community Equity was the result of the recognition of Accumulated Depreciation on Council's road infrastructure which had previously no been recognised. � Significant increase due to unfunded depreciation including an amount for depreciation charged on road seals from 1 July 1998 to 30 June 2001 as depreciation had not previously been recognised for this item in the financial statements. The depreciation charged on the seals during this time was included as a separate line item in the statements. � Significant increase due to large recoverable works accounts outstanding. � Significant increase due to arrears of rural electrification charge which is levied on participating rural properties. � Significant increase in equity due to revaluation of road infrastructure assets.

Does not include hours lost from claims lodged prior to 2000/01 even if the lost hours occurred in 2001/02. � Total wages and salaries reported includes capitalised labour component as there is no accurate split of these costs. For the purposes of reconciling operating expenses to employee expenses total capitalised costs ie. both materials and services and employee costs were backed out. � This figure is high due to the inclusion of extraordinary capital expenditure for 2000/01. � During the course of a year Council experiences a substantial rise and fall in its FTE workforce due to the wet and dry seasonal effect on its road construction/maintenance. The figures provided are as at end of June, around the peak of the Council's workforce, but FTE will fall by approximately 20 over the wet season. � Based on estimated total working hours per annum. � This figure is low due to the inclusion of extraordinarily high operating expenditure for 2000/01, which includes a loss on revaluation of non current assets of $8,032,000.

Councillors 267 © Queensland Local Government Comparative Information 2003/04 Terrain and Soil Types Terrain and soil types

Soil types are classified into four broad groups: soils generally without limiting chemical or physical properties; soils with predominantly chemical limitations; soils with predominantly physical limitations; and organic soils. A maximum of four soil units are recorded for each local government together with the proportion of the local government area in that soil unit, in rounded 20-percentiles.

Soil classes:

A. Soils without limiting chemical or physical properties C. Soils with predominantly physical limitations

Deep loams and duplex soils without subsurface bleaching Deep course-textured soils 1 Deep loams 16 Deep sands 2 Duplex soils Cracking clays B. Soils with predominantly chemical limitations 17 Finely structured clays 18 Coarsely structured clays Deep highly structured soils with high initial fertility 3 Structured loams Hard-setting soils with dispersible clay subsoils 4 Structured clays 19 Duplex with spotted bleaching 5 Structured earths Soils with periodic subsurface water-logging Soils naturally low in nutrients 20 Bleached sands with subsoil pans 6 Earthy loams 21 Duplex with bleached subsurface 7 Organic loams 8 Earthy clays Soils with periodic subsurface water-logging 9 Massive earths 22 Clay with gleyed subsoil 10 Yellow duplex with gravel 23 Gley duplex

Calcareous soils Shallow soils 11 Calcareous sands 24 Shallow sands on rock 12 Calcareous earths 25 Shallow sands from laterite 26 Shallow loams Saline soils 27 Shallow clays 13 Saline loam soils 28 Largely bare rock 14 Saline clay soils 15 Red duplex with crust D.

Terrain and Soil Types Introduction 268 © Queensland Local Government Comparative Information 2003/04 The categories of terrain used in the Terrain and Soil Types table represent the major changes in slope and local relief from plainslands through undulating, rolling and hilly to mountainous terrain.

Plainslands – alluvial tracks Undulating – relief in 1 km2 greater than 50m Rolling – relief in 1 km2 greater than 50m, less than 100m Hills – relief in 1 km2 greater than 100m, less than 200m Mountainous – relief in 1 km2 greater than 200m

The Queensland Local Government Comparative Information 2003/04 Report groups Queensland local governments according to the Australian Classification of Local Government. The classification system uses population, population density, population growth and location to identify 22 categories of local governments in Australia. Queensland local governments are categorised into 21 of these categories. Each category has a unique three-letter code which is based on the following criteria:
