Operating expenses were $29.8 million in 2015/16, which was a 2.3% ($665k) increase over the previous year. Employee costs were 1.6% ($130k) higher than the previous year which reflects the predicted Enterprise BargainingAgreement and increments increases. Our Organisation Materials, contracts and other was 7.1% ($898k) less than the previous year due to the reduced use of contractors ($112k), the reduced costs of operating plant and machinery and lower waste management contract costs due to lower fuel prices ($622k) and less reliance of professional services, including no payments to YP Community Transport ($145k) which was privatised in June 2015.
Depreciation and amortisation and impairment increased by 15.2% ($1.25m) principally due to a change in Accounting Standards in regards to residual values for road infrastructure.

Council’s last review, including two separate rounds of public consultations, was concluded on 11 September 2013. The review resulted in Council formally resolving to retain its current composition but introduce an amended three ward structure which was more evenly balanced in elector
numbers. Our Council

Introduction Overview Our Council Our Our Organisation Our Our Performance Our Financials Subsidiaries National Tree Day
National Tree Day has been held annually since 1996 and is Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event. The Yorke Peninsula Council actively participates in National Tree Day, coordinating several planting sites across the Council area.
Council undertakes the site identification and preparation of the site, provides the trees and tree guards, teaches the children how to plant the trees and then oversee the children as they plant the trees.
In 2015, Operations staff assisted the following schools as part of National Tree Day:
• Ardrossan Area School • Curramulka Primary School • Maitland Area School • Maitland Lutheran School • Minlaton District School • Port Vincent Primary School • Stansbury Primary School • St Columba’s Memorial School • Warooka Primary School • Yorketown Area School
In total these schools planted approximately 1,200 trees, which will help combat the effect of climate change by locking up carbon.
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 50 of 165 Road Infrastructure Introduction Council is responsible for maintaining an extensive road network comprised of approximately 3,890km of sealed, unsealed formed and graded, unformed roads and tracks.
It is important to note that this is the largest road network of any South Australian council.
As referred to earlier, in October 2015 following a period of community consultation, the Yorke Peninsula Council’s Transport Asset Management Plan was adopted by Council. The Plan includes:
• road categorisation for all roads within the Council area; Overview • the planned levels of services (construction, renewal and maintenance standards) for each of the road categories; • proposed funding for the upgrade, renewal and maintenance of transport infrastructure; and • a proposed 10 year Capital Works program.
As part of Council’s goal to maintain and expand the connectivity of our community through a sustainable road network, in 2015/16 Council undertook sealed and unsealed road construction activities on sections of the following roads: Our Council
Sealed Road Construction • Bramley Road - Edithburgh • Clinton Road (7 kilometres) - Rural
Unsealed Road Construction • Brutus Road Our Organisation • Corny Point Road (by Contractor) • Daly Head Road • Dump Road • McFarlane Road • Nalyappa Road • North Coast Road (by Contractor) • Old Coast Road • Polkinghorne Road • Saint Road Our Performance • South Coast Road • Waterloo Bay Road • Wattle Point Road • Weavers North Road
These roads were selected to have road construction activities undertaken based on their rating within the Transport Asset Management Plan, to keep the rate of deterioration of the road under control, thereby ensuring the road condition did not fall below a reasonable standard. Financials
Other Road Related Activities
Additional maintenance activities attributed to open surface roads include activities such as patrol grading and regulation of traffic control devices. Currently Council operates four patrol grading sectors, each with two operators working 3x12 hour shifts per week. This ensures maximum efficiency is maintained, provided weather conditions are favourable which, in the latter months of the financial year, they were not. The dramatic increase in rainfall, which was experienced across the Council area, meant that the condition of many unsealed roads deteriorated rapidly. Council staff worked hard to bring these roads back up to an acceptable standard. Subsidiaries
Maintenance on the sealed road network incorporates reseal requirements. This is undertaken by contractors with day-to-day sealed road maintenance (e.g. potholes) achieved utilising Council’s Jetpatcher. The objectives of this maintenance program are far more beneficial during the warmer months.
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 51 of 165 Roadside Vegetation Maintenance Works Tender
In 2015/16 Council engaged a contractor to undertake a roadside vegetation maintenance program on selected Council controlled roads in the Hundreds of Clinton, Cunningham, Dalrymple, Kilkerran, Maitland, Minlacowie, Moorowie, Ramsay and Tiparra. This resulted in roadside vegetation maintenance activities being applied to 297kms of road corridor length, improving road safety throughout the Council area.
Roadside Vegetation Markers and Threatened Species Management
Council commissioned a native vegetation marker system to identify areas of important native vegetation, in particular threatened species, on roadsides identified for clearance activities as part of the roadside vegetation maintenance Unsealed Road Construction Tender program. Marked as ‘zones’ with roadside marker signs, each sign displays a number that relates back to a detailed Whilst contracting capital works is not uncommon within local government, register and mapping kept by Council. with a growing trend to outsource specialised services such as the collection and disposal of waste and recycling, street sweeping and bitumen services Threatened plant species are protected by both state and increasing, something that had, to the best of Council’s knowledge, never federal legislation.

Seawater Flooding Adaptation Pathways Study
In February 2015, Council engaged a consultant to undertake the Seawater Flooding Adaptation Pathways Study, a project jointly funded by the Commonwealth Natural Disaster Resilience Program, the Coastal Protection Board and Council.
The aim of the seven-month project was to identify the seawater flooding risks, assess current flood protection infrastructure and provide recommendations for future action to cater for seawater flooding at Port Clinton, Price, Pine Point (Billy Goat Flat) and Coobowie. The project also aimed to improve community awareness of the risks associated with current and future seawater flooding.
Recommendations from the Study, including adaptation options, will be considered, prioritised and funding opportunities investigated.
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 52 of 165 Walk the Yorke Introduction The Walk the Yorke Leisure Trail (Walk the Yorke) began construction in August 2013 and was completed in December 2015. The project was jointly funded by the Australian Government ($1.3 million), South Australian Government ($90,000) and Yorke Peninsula Council ($1.3 million).

trail taking in over 500kms of Yorke Peninsula coastline. Overview Walk the Yorke offers visitors the chance to experience spectacular rugged cliffs, amazing views, pristine beaches, secluded coves, rocky reefs and tidal pools, windswept sand dunes, samphire forests, historic lighthouses and provides views into some of Australia’s most productive farming land, rich Aboriginal culture and endemic scrublands. Our Council
Walk the Yorke is a new tourism product that will entice visitors to the region. Tourism is emerging as a critical industry for the Yorke Peninsula and Walk the Yorke offers a new experience for visitors and has the opportunity to increase visitation through creating new complementary businesses. Our Organisation The official opening of Walk the Yorke was held on Sunday 13 December 2015. Council, in partnership with Yorke Peninsula Tourism and the South Australian Tourism Commission, executed a marketing campaign via radio (Mix 102.3, Fiveaa and Cruise 1323), Facebook and Twitter to raise awareness of the new trail experience and the launch event.
The official opening was broken into three key events: • a breakfast at Port Vincent Wharf, attended by 80 Our Performance people; • a public walk of over 4kms from the Wharf to the Port Vincent Golf Course, with 60 participants; and • a Grand Opening and associated events including a local suppliers and services market at the Port Vincent Golf Course, attended by 400 people.
Walk the Yorke is designed to provide opportunities for a variety of visitors, from gentle strolls and rides to adventures Financials requiring higher levels of fitness. Walk the Yorke is signposted with yellow markers (over 3,000) and follows natural, gravel and paved surfaces as well as beaches. Where trail conditions are not suitable, cyclists are diverted to roads.

Council adopted its ten year LTFP in March 2014 and the latest revision to the plan was adopted in May 2016. The objective of the LTFP is to ensure that Council remains financially sustainable and is able to provide at least the current level of services over the next 10 years. Our Council
Council has identified that its operating deficits and asset replacement levels have been below local government sector targets and the revised LTFP recognises the need for Council to remain financially viable whilst increasing its asset replacement programs. Our Organisation The revised LTFP will see Council move closer to industry targets in relation to operating results and asset sustainability progressively over the next 10 year period.
The LTFP is also used as a tool to ensure that the impact in to the future of budget variations, and proposed new projects, are fully understood before any changes are adopted. This plan will be reviewed and released for public consultation as soon as practicable after the adoption of the Annual Business Plan for 2016/17 and finalisation and Our Performance audit of the 2015/16 Annual Financial Statements.

YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 59 of 165 Leisure Options
The Yorke Peninsula Leisure Options (YPLO) programme is now in its 14th year of service delivering centre-based activities, social support, and transport to people who have age related health issues, and for younger people with disabilities. The programme is delivered across the Yorke Peninsula local government area using community and Council facilities in the townships of Minlaton, Maitland, Yorketown, and Edithburgh.
Throughout its years of operation, YPLO has expanded and maintained its service provision through a range of partnerships and funding opportunities at the local, state and federal government level. Currently the Disability and Aged Care sectors are facing major reform through the introduction of social policy that recognises the diversity of needs for every individual.
Much of the focus throughout 2015/16 was on the changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and whether Council, through the YP Leisure Options programme, becomes a NDIS Service Provider. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme is funded federally until November 2018 – currently $16,000 per annum for YPLO is proposed for the 2017/18 financial year.
Leisure Options services other core groups including:- 1. Aged Care clients (Commonwealth Home Support Programme) funded until November 2018 - $42,000 in total for the period July 2015 to November 2018. 2. Clients under 64 years of age who meet the following criteria (this list is not exhaustive) currently funded through Home and Community Care (State) until June 2017 - $91,000 per annum: • Socially isolated • Indigenous • Culturally and Linguistically diverse (CALD) • Mental health issues • Financial hardship (particularly people not in receipt of a pension/ unemployed) • Volunteering
The program currently has 75 clients. Three staff members and 15 volunteers undertake a range of tasks including group work facilitators, drivers, clerical duties and fundraising.
Service hours and trips assigned by the government funders were exceeded again last year, and the service delivered 1,561 hours of Social Support, 10,046 hours of centre-based care, and completed 3,239 trips transporting clients to and from locations.
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 60 of 165 A Volunteer team of Drivers utilise the two YPLO buses with a capacity of 11 seats in each. The buses collect participants each day from
their homes, or ‘pick up stops’ and will drive them to the activity location. Frequently volunteer drivers will join the Group Leaders to assist Introduction with Group activities and will commence the return trips taking participants home or to the ‘drop off stop’. During the year the service made a total of 3,239 trips and journeys.
Group work is focused on social and recreational activities and includes:- • Arts and crafts; • Cooking; • The Wood Shed;
• Fun and Games; Overview • The Men’s Shed; • Tree propagation; • Living skills; and • Christmas shopping trip and Christmas party.
Social Support provision, mostly delivered by staff, includes information provision, advocacy, assessment and referrals, transport assistance with shopping and medical appointments. Our Council Our Organisation Our Performance Financials Subsidiaries
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 61 of 165 Libraries
The Council and local communities, with support from the Libraries of South Australia and the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD), provide four main libraries on the Peninsula and Council is directly responsible for the eight ancillary depot libraries.
There has been an increased focus on the Joint Use Library Arrangement between DECD and Public Libraries which has seen Council participate in a series of reviews and pilot programs to review our current level of service provision to our community.
A survey of library patrons was undertaken and a comprehensive report subsequently provided. The four school community libraries continue to service eight library depots throughout the region and the survey highlighted the value of this service to our aged community members. Council are continuing to work with Public Libraries to ensure that Council continue to provide the best service possible within the finite resources and technologies available.
Tourism
Yorke Peninsula attracts approximately 1 million visitors to the whole region each year, which highlights the significance of tourism on local economic benefits and employment.
Council funds the Yorke Peninsula Tourism organisation, in conjunction with the District Council of the Copper Coast and the South Australia Tourism Commission.
Yorke Peninsula Tourism is charged with the responsibility of encouraging further investment and growth of tourism in our region and attracting visitors to the region – increasing awareness of Yorke Peninsula as a must see holiday destination.
Yorke Peninsula Tourism activities for 2015/16 include:- • Generating significant media coverage • Attending consumer shows • Developing the YP Visitor Guide and YP Fishing Guide • Destination development • Digital development Burning off by Erin McWaters
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 62 of 165 Visitor Information Centre Introduction Yorke Peninsula Visitor Centre (YPVC) continues to operate as an accredited visitor centre displaying the blue and yellow ‘i’ logo. This logo identifies us as part of the Australia wide network of visitor information centres, recognised and promoted on a national level.
The YPVC staff and volunteers continue to provide a high standard of customer service, welcoming visitors to Yorke Peninsula and encouraging them to stay longer in our part of the world. The YPVC operates with five volunteers and four staff members (1 x full time and 3 x
part time). Overview
The Visitor Information Services Coordinator attended the South Australian Visitor Information Centres Conference, held in the Murraylands tourism region in May 2016. As an accredited centre YPVC staff and volunteers are required to undertake 20 hours of training per year. This has included touring Innes National Park with the rangers and gaining familiarity with the camping sites; visiting various bush camp grounds; and travelling around the Peninsula gaining first-hand experience of local tourism operations. Our Council
The visitor centre’s website continues to provide an opportunity to work with local operators, encouraging them to list with the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW). This provides free marketing, with the potential for their listing to be distributed to numerous websites throughout Australia. Our Organisation The website also promotes Walk the Yorke, with trail notes being regularly updated as feedback is received from locals and visitors alike who have completed the trail.

YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 67 of 165 Fire Prevention
Council is part of the Yorke Peninsula Fire Ban District. Due to a warm spring and the lack of rain, the Fire Danger Season commenced two weeks earlier on 1 November 2015 and concluded at the end of April 2016.
200 Schedule 9 Permits were issued by Council staff for the 2016 Conditional Burning Season to farmers to burn off
their land from 16 February to 30 April 2016. This is 45 less Minlacowie by Robyn Clasohm than the previous year. A condition of the permit is that they must contact Council prior to burning off. Council received 585 notifications to burn (approximately half the number received two years ago).
Fuel reduction notices are issued to protect property from fire and to reduce the likelihood of an outbreak or spread of a fire on the land. From time to time, it has been necessary for Council to engage contractors to reduce the fuel levels (as stipulated in the notice) and landowners are subsequently invoiced for the work. The property inspections went well during the start of the Fire Danger Season with a new computer system. 1,463 notices were sent out to landholders to reduce the fire hazard on their properties. This was over 160 more than the previous year. Council engaged the services of a contractor to mow 17 allotments as a result of non-compliance which was half that of last season.
Food Safety
Council’s Environmental Health Officer (EHO) conducts routine inspections of food businesses to ensure compliance with the Food Standards under the Food Act 2001. Routine inspections seek to ascertain the knowledge and skill level of the persons involved in food preparation and sale, along with the general cleanliness and suitability of the premises.
The EHO also deals with food complaints from the public; such complaints may be about the quality or safety of food for sale, observed food handling practices or other related matters that concern a consumer. Food recalls are brought to the attention of the EHO via emails from the Department of Health and if requested, the EHO may check food premises shelves to ensure the implicated food has been removed from sale.
Food safety training can also be undertaken by the EHO, especially for volunteer groups that may not be able to cover the cost of accredited training.
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 68 of 165 Legionella Introduction Legionnaires’ disease (Legionellosis) is a serious and sometimes fatal form of pneumonia caused by the bacteria Legionella. Legionella bacteria are found naturally in the environment and thrive in warm water and warm damp places. They are commonly found in bodies of water, soil and potting mix.
People most at risk of getting sick from the bacteria are older people
(usually 50 years of age or older), people who are current or former Overview smokers, those who have a chronic lung disease (like emphysema) and people who have weak immune systems from diseases like cancer, diabetes, or kidney failure.
People usually get Legionnaires’ disease by breathing in Legionella bacteria in very fine droplets of water called aerosols. Such aerosols are often associated with cooling towers and warm water systems. In Our Council the Yorke Peninsula Council district three sites at which warm water systems are in place have been registered with Council and annual audit reports of the systems are received.
Limited Liquor Licences Our Organisation
Throughout the year Council receives several requests for limited liquor licences and/or the extension to existing liquor licences for some premises. During the 2015/16 financial year Council gave support to 19 requests for a limited liquor licence. The licences were granted for events on both Council owned property and privately owned premises.
Public Health Our Performance
The South Australian Public Health Act 2011 charges Councils with the responsibility of preserving, protecting and promoting public health within its area. To this end EHOs may receive complaints from community members about matters they perceive as a public health risk. The EHO needs to investigate and consider if there is a risk to public health and what action needs to be taken to alleviate it. During the reporting period complaints have been received concerning the risk from: Financials • Offensive Odours • Overgrowth of vegetation and potential fire hazard • Illegal wastewater discharge • Noise • Living conditions • Failing effluent disposal systems • Vermin Subsidiaries • Water quality
YORKE PENINSULA COUNCIL 2015/16 Annual Report Page 69 of 165 Swimming Pools
Council has 5 swimming pools and 2 toddler wading pools associated with tourist accommodation that are monitored during the summer season to ensure good standards of hygiene and disinfection are maintained.
Waste Control Systems
Council received 123 applications for waste control systems during this reporting period. Such applications cover: • Local sewer schemes • Common wastewater management schemes • On-site disposal via septic tank and soakage bed/soakage trenches • On-site disposal via aerobic systems that incorporate dedicated irrigation areas, including pressure dosed soakage bed systems. These can be particularly useful for small blocks, difficult sites and properties within 100m of the coast. • Off-site disposal of effluent via a holding tank for properties within 100m of the high water mark (sensitive coastal zone) – holding tanks are not allowed for new developments and are only considered for particular locations.
Officers attempt to inspect all installations at least once; further inspections may be required depending on the extent of the on-site works.

Table 12: Actual Business Plan Performance vs. Budgeted
As at 30 June 2016 Table 11 indicates an underspend for the year. However, within the table it identifies a number of positive and negative variances for a range of reasons. Specifically these were:- • A number of planned road projects were put on hold whilst staff and allocated funds were diverted into the Clinton Road Project. • Funds from the road projects that were put on hold were also diverted into the accelerated patch sheeting project. • Blue Bay step construction and Point Souttar beach access - Additional State Government Grant Funding received. Our Performance • The Marion Bay Boat Ramp project has been carried forward to the 2016/17 financial year. • Council applied for a grant for the Minlaton Township Concept Plan but was unsuccessful therefore the project has been deferred.
Budget allocations are reviewed every quarter as required by Council’s PO142 Budget Reporting and Amendment Policy, with all changes submitted to Council for endorsement.
Whilst every care is taken in developing Council’s Annual Business Plan other priorities will always emerge throughout the course of the year that take precedence. Financials In addition, this Council continually seeks to attract additional grant funding in order to implement key projects for the benefit of the community without any additional burden on our rate payers. Therefore, when Council is successful in obtaining additional grant funding during the year, all planned projects must be re-prioritised due to the limited resources available to carry out the works.

Note 7b. Valuation of Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment & Investment Property
$ '000
Valuation of Assets
The fair value of assets and liabilities must be estimated in accordance with various Accounting Standards for either recognition and measurement requirements or for disclosure purposes.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to be assigned to a "level" in the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Refer to Note 7a for the disclosure of the Fair Value Levels of Infrastructure, Property, Plant and Equipment Assets.
Information on Valuations
Fair Value Hierarchy Level 2 Valuations Certain land, and the buildings and structures thereon, are shown above as being based on fair value hierarchy level 2 valuation inputs. They are based on prices for similar assets in an active market, with directly or indirectly observable adjustments for specific advantages or disadvantages attaching to the particular asset.
Fair Value Hierarchy Level 3 Valuations of Land Valuations of Crown land, community land and land subject to other restrictions on use or disposal, shown above as being based on fair value hierarchy level 3 valuation inputs, are based on prices for similar assets in an active market, but include adjustments for specific advantages or disadvantages attaching to the particular asset that are not directly or indirectly observable in that market, or the number and / or amount of observable adjustments of which are so great that the valuation is more fairly described as being based on level 3 valuation inputs.
Fair Value Hierarchy Level 3 Valuations of Buildings, Infrastructure and Other Assets There is no known market for buildings, infrastructure and other assets. These assets are valued at depreciated current replacement cost. This method involves: - The determination of the cost to construct the asset (or its modern engineering equivalent) using current prices for materials and labour, the quantities of each being estimated based on recent experience of this or similar Councils, or on industry construction guides where these are more appropriate. - The calculation of the depreciation that would have accumulated since original construction using current estimates of residual value and useful life under the prime cost depreciation method adopted by Council.
This method has significant inherent uncertainties, relying on estimates of quantities of materials and labour, residual values and useful lives, and the possibility of changes in prices for materials and labour, and the potential for development of more efficient construction techniques.

Land & Land Improvements Council being of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a value sufficiently reliably to qualify for recognition, land under roads has not been recognised in these reports. Land acquired for road purposes during the year is initially recognised at cost, but transferred to fair value at reporting date, effectively writing off the expenditure.
Freeholdland and land over which Council has control, but does not have title, is recognised on the cost basis. No capitalisation threshold is applied to the acquisition of land or interests in land. Estimated future costs of reinstatement of land, capitalised in accordance with AASB 116.16(c), are reviewed annually (see Note 1) and depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the relevant asset. - Basis of valuation: Fair Value - Date of valuation: 1 July 2013 - Date of next valuation: 1 July 2018 - Valuer: Andrea Carolan, Maloney Field Services
Buildings & Other Structures Buildings and other structures were revalued as at 1 July 2013 by Maloney Field Services in accordance with AASB 13: Fair Value Measurement. AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information according to the relevant level in the fair value hierarchy.

Risk Exposures
Credit Risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The maximum credit risk on financial assets of the Council is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts. All Council investments are made with the SA Local Government Finance Authority and are guaranteed by the SA Government. Except as detailed in Notes 5 & 6 in relation to individual classes of receivables, exposure is concentrated within the Council's boundaries, and there is no material exposure to any individual debtor.
Market Risk is the risk that fair values of financial assets will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. All of Council's financial assets are denominated in Australian dollars and are not traded on any market, and hence neither market risk nor currency risk apply.
Liquidity Risk is the risk that Council will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations with financial liabilities. In accordance with the model Treasury Mangement Policy (LGA Information Paper 15), liabilities have a range of maturity dates. Council also has available a range of bank overdraft and standby borrowing facilities that it can access.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Council has a balance of both fixed and variable interest rate borrowings and investments. Cash flow fluctuations are managed holistically in seeking to minimise interest costs over the longer term in a risk averse manner.

Note 18. Superannuation
$ '000
The Council makes employer superannuation contributions in respect of its employees to Statewide Super (formerly Local Government Superannuation Scheme). There are two types of membership, each of which is funded differently. Permanent and contract employees of the South Australian Local Government sector with Salarylink benefits prior to 24 November 2009 have the option to contribute to the Accumulation section and/or Salarylink. All other employees (including casuals) have all contributions allocated to the Accumulation section.
Accumulation only Members Accumulation only members receive both employer and employee contributions on a progressive basis. Employer contributions are based on a fixed percentage of ordinary time earnings in accordance with superannuation guarantee legislation (9.50% in 2015/16; 9.50% in 2014/15). No further liability accrues to the Council as the superannuation benefits accruing to employees are represented by their share of the net assets of the Fund.
Salarylink (Defined Benefit Fund) Members Salarylink is a defined benefit scheme where the benefit payable is based on a formula determined by the member’s contribution rate, number of years and level of contribution and final average salary. Council makes employer contributions to Salarylink as determined by the Fund’s Trustee based on advice from the appointed Actuary. The rate is currently 6.3% (6.3% in 2014/15) of “superannuation” salary.
In addition, Council makes a separate contribution of 3% of ordinary time earnings for Salarylink members to their Accumulation account. Employees also make member contributions to the Salarylink section of the Fund. As such, assets accumulate in the Salarylink section of the Fund to meet the member's benefits, as defined in the Trust Deed, as they accrue.
The Salarylink section is a multi-employer sponsored plan. As the Salarylink section's assets and liabilities are pooled and are not allocated by each employer, and employees may transfer to another employer within the local government sector and retain membership of the Fund, the Actuary is unable to allocate benefit liabilities, assets and costs between employers. As provided by AASB 119.32(b), Council does not use defined benefit accounting for these contributions.
The most recent actuarial investigation was conducted by the Fund's actuary, A C Miller, FIAA, of Russell Employee Benefits Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2014. The Trustee has determined that the current funding arrangements are adequate for the expected Salarylink liabilities. However, future financial and economic circumstances may require changes to Council’s contribution rates at some future time.
Contributions to Other Superannuation Schemes Council also makes contributions to other superannuation schemes selected by employees under the “choice of fund” legislation. All such schemes are of the accumulation type, where the superannuation benefits accruing to the employee are represented by their share of the net assets of the scheme, and no further liability attaches to the Council.

All receivables are reviewed as at the reporting date and adequate allowance made for amounts the receipt of which is considered doubtful.
All financial instruments arerecognised at fair value at the date ofrecognition. A detailed statement of the accounting policies applied to financial instruments forms part ofNote 13.
1.5 Property, Plant & Equipment All non-current assets purchased are capitalised as the expenditure is incurred and depreciated as soon as the asset is held "ready for use". All assets are recognised at cost. Cost is detennined as the fair value of the assets given as consideration plus costs incidental to theacquisition.
Assets with an economic life in excess of one year are only capitalised where the cost of acquisition exceeds materiality thresholds established by the Region for each type of asset. In determining (and in annually reviewing) such thresholds, regard is had to the nature of the asset and its estimated service life. Examples of capitalisation thresholds applied during the year are as follows:
OfficeFurniture & Equipment $1,000 Motor Vehicles, Other Plant & Equipment $1,000
All material asset classes are revalued on aregular basis such that the carryingvalues are not materially differentfrom fair value. Plant and equipment assets recognised are systematically depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis which, in the opinion of the Region, best reflects the consumption of the service potential embodied in those assets.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values ofclasses ofassets are reviewed annually.
Major depreciation periods for each class ofasset are shown in Note 7.
1.6 Payables Creditors are amounts due to external parties for the supply of goods and services and are recognised as liabilities when the goods and services are received. Creditors are normally paid30 days afterthe month ofinvoice. No interest is payable on these amounts.
Amounts received from external parties in advance of service delivery are recognised as liabilities until the service is delivered or damage reinstated, or the amount is refundedas the case may be.
Employee Benefits Salaries, Wages & Compensated Absences The Region engaged the services of a Chief Executive Officer on the 7th December 2015 and as at 30th June 2016 the CEO is the only employee of the Region. Liabilities for employees' entitlements to salaries, wages and compensated absences expected to be paid or settled within 12 months ofreporting date are accrued at nominal amounts (including payroll based on costs) measured in accordance with AASB 119.
Liabilities for employee benefits not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows (including payroll bas.ed oncosts) to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to thereporting date. Present values are calculated using government guaranteed securities rates with similar maturity terms.
Weighted average discount rate 2.08% (2015, Nil%) Weighted average settlement period 10 years (2015, Nil years)
No accrual is made for sick leave as the Region experience indicates that, on average, sick leave taken in each reporting period is less than the entitlement accruing in that period, and this experience is expected to recur in future reporting periods. The Region does not make payment for untaken sick leave.
Superannuation The Region contributes the statutory 9.5% SGC superannuation for the CEO to a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund.
GST Implications In accordance with UIG Abstract 1031 "Accounting for the Goods & Services Tax" >- Receivables and Creditors include GST receivable and payable.
>- Except in relation to input taxed activities, revenues and operating expenditures exclude GST receivable and payable.
>- Non-current assets and capital expenditures include GST net of any recoupment.
