Glenorchy City Council ANNUAL REPORT 2010 4 To be financially sustainable in the long term, our financial ANNUAL REPORT 2010 modelling indicates that over the next 7 years Council needs to move towards break-even or surplus budgets and to double the amount of money that it spends on infrastructure. During 2009-10 we have explored over 200 suggestions from staff and Aldermen on ways to further reduce our costs, improve our efficiency and obtain revenue from other sources so as to minimise the extent of future rate increases. However, it is clear that our general rates revenue is currently too low, and that as a responsible Council Glenorchy will need to increase revenue over time to ensure that we are financially sustainable into the future. The water and sewerage reforms have had a major impact on the Council’s operations and managing the impact has taken up a huge amount of Aldermen and staff resources and effort. Despite that, in 2009-10 the Council continued to provide an extensive range of services and facilities for the Glenorchy community in accordance with the Glenorchy Community Plan and Council’s Strategic Plan. The second half of the annual report includes the 2009-10 financial statements. The financial statements include a comprehensive set of accounts, as well as notes and GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT statements as required by the Local Government Act 1993 and our financial statements have again received an unqualified The annual report summarises the programs and services that audit report from the Auditor-General. While the Comprehensive have been provided to its community by the Glenorchy City Income Statement shows a surplus before “other Council during 2009-10. comprehensive income” of $1.081 million, the surplus includes 2009-10 saw the first year of the State Government’s water and $1.579 million of capital grants received for the Glenorchy Arts sewerage reforms, with responsibility for water and sewerage and Sculpture Park as shown in Note 5. These funds have not services transferring to Southern Water from 1 July 2009. This been expended during 2009-10 but are expected to be was a huge change for the organisation, with around 40 full expended during 2010-11. time equivalent staff transferring, together with over $200 million dollars of water and sewerage assets. Frank Pearce The water and sewerage reforms have had a very severe impact General Manager on Council’s financial situation. The Council had been making a commercial return each year from water and sewerage in accordance with the expectations of the Government Prices Oversight Commission (GPOC). We had been drawing these profits as a dividend and using them to support other services provided by the Council. In 2008-09 Council had budgeted to receive a net cash return of $13 million from its water and sewerage operations. For 2009-10 Council budgeted to receive distributions from Southern Water of only $8.8 million. To alleviate some of this shortfall the Council’s 2009/10 budget introduced a range of savings and efficiencies, resulting in a reduction of approximately 26 full time equivalent positions compared to the 2008-09 budget, for non-water and sewerage services. These savings were achieved without the need for redundancies, but with the reduction in some services a number of staff were redeployed to other parts of Council’s operations. Change can be difficult and I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all of my staff, despite the difficulties and financial constraints that many of them worked under in 2009-10. Their continuing commitment, enthusiasm and focus on quality community outcomes is to be commended. Prior to the water and sewerage reforms, Council had put in place a set of strategic financial policies to significantly increase the amount of money spent on infrastructure maintenance, renewal and replacement over a 6 year period. The water and sewerage reforms have set this process back, and during 2009-10 we have undertaken a major review of what needs to occur to ensure the ongoing financial sustainability of the Council. This has included the development of a very detailed 5 and comprehensive strategic financial model that enables the Council to forecast its financial situation 10 years out.
