Mayor’s Introduction

Mayor’s Message – Annual Budget 2023/24

Together with my fellow Brimbank Councillors, I am pleased to introduce Brimbank’s Annual Budget for 2023/2024.

The budget provides a blueprint for the delivery of essential services, programs and infrastructure that plays a critical role in

achieving a beautiful, healthy, sustainable, liveable and connected Brimbank.

Our budget planning for 2023/2024 continues to reflect Council’s commitment to operate in a financially sustainable and

responsible way, all while operating in a rate-capped environment.

Over the last year, Council has consulted extensively with our community on a wide range of topics. This budget has been

shaped by the thoughts and ideas shared during Council’s extensive community consultation which included online and face-to

face engagement opportunities.

Many community members gave feedback by ranking six Council priorities:

• Wellbeing and belonging

• Pride and participation

• Liveable and connected

• Sustainable and green

• Growing and transforming

• Earning and learning

The top ranked priority was “Sustainable and green – protect natural environments for current and future generations”.

This includes initiatives that respond to climate emergency and protecting our natural environment for current and future

generations. Other top priorities for the year ahead are infrastructure improvements and investment in key capital works, and

community wellbeing.

The Annual Budget 2023/2024 provides a description of the services and initiatives that will be funded in the next financial year

and will help contribute to achieving the Council vision, ‘a transformed Brimbank that is beautiful, thriving, healthy and

connected’.

We are also highly focused on advocating for State and Federal government support and the investment the community needs

to build a stronger future for Brimbank.

Over the last three years, we have successfully advocated for State and Federal investments for our community which has lifted

our capacity to deliver major programs and infrastructure improvements within our municipality.

This Annual Budget includes a significant capital works allocation of $55.9 million to deliver essential infrastructure projects,

services and facilities across our city, including:

* Sports facility upgrades and enhancements - $12.0 million including Lloyd Reserve - Soccer/Cricket pavilion upgrade,

Lionheart Reserve Tennis Pavilion Upgrade, Green Gully Reserve - Tennis pavilion upgrade, JR Parsons Recreation Reserve

tennis pavilion upgrade, and a New JR Parsons Football/Cricket Pavilion

* Road improvements, footpath replacement and repairs and kerbside replacements – $25.0 million

* Playgrounds, parks and gardens - $6.3 million including suburban and local parks upgrades.

* Improvements to community facilities - $2.2 million including Robertson's Homestead Restoration, and Deer Park Library

redevelopment

* Traffic management - $1.4 million including safety improvements at various locations across Brimbank

* Drainage rehabilitation - $1.1 million

* Town centre improvements - $830,000

* Sustainability projects - $500,000 including Land Rehabilitation at Sunshine Energy Park, and Carrington Drive Reserve, and

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction program across various Council buildings and assets

The Annual Budget also includes a range of key initiatives that will support community health and wellbeing and contribute to

the overall liveability of our city.

These vital programs will help us continue to build a strong and resilient community.

Transforming Brimbank

Climate Change

Social Justice

The Transforming Brimbank program aims to leverage this investment to deliver meaningful and generational change for

our community. Brimbank aims to do this by working closely with key stakeholders as well as the community, to ensure that

all investment will invest in people and place and not just projects.

Climate change is an immediate, real, and all-encompassing threat. An appropriate science-based, coordinated public

policy response is the only responsible course of action. Council’s declaration of a climate emergency is a bold but

necessary action that sees ‘socially just’ climate action as a necessity, to be undertaken at scale and speed.

In Brimbank, health, equity, energy, infrastructure, the natural environment, and the material economy are the core areas

that will be affected by climate change, and by the responsive transition to the new economy.

Brimbank’s social, economic and cultural diversity means it needs to prioritise the needs of many different cultures and

lifestyles in the community and address any areas of disadvantage.

Council recognises the need to address the many complex issues that arise due to the impacts of systemic disadvantage

and therefore has formed many multi-agency partnerships to support our work.

There is a strong acceptance of cultural diversity by Brimbank’s residents. Faith and religion factor strongly in the lives of

many, with seven out of 10 residents indicating a religious affiliation. The changing migration patterns have led to increases

in residents who affiliate with non-Christian religions.

The population of Melbourne’s Western Metropolitan Region is growing rapidly, with Brimbank positioned to be at the very

heart of its future expansion. While the Western Metropolitan Region currently has a population of approximately 964,000,

by 2051 this is projected to rise to 1.75 million most of which will occur in the growth areas directly to the west and north of

Brimbank.

The challenges of shifting demographics, government policy and service model reforms, ensuring social equity and access

in a constrained fiscal environment are transforming the way in which services and infrastructure are funded and delivered

to meet future needs.

Brimbank and Melbourne’s West is about to see billions of dollars of development and infrastructure being delivered over

the coming decades in a way that will transform our city. The majority of investment and transformational change is planned

to occur on the Sunshine Precinct, which may have up to 43,000 additional residents and an additional 29,000 jobs created

by 2051.

Budget influences

The Budget is influenced by a range of factors, including the following:

• demographic profile, population needs and trends

• use and development of land

• the state of the local economy

• Federal and State policy and legislative requirements

Brimbank is a vibrant, growing community in the heart of Melbourne’s west, that borders the Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong,

Melton, Moonee Valley and Wyndham municipalities. Located between 12 and 23 kilometres west and north-west of the

Melbourne CBD and covers an area of 123 square kilometres.

The migrant community in Brimbank is strong and the municipality prides itself on its cultural diversity, which is ingrained in

its history. From European beginnings, it is now the western region gateway for migrants from all over the world. More than

160 nationalities are represented, and over half of the residents speak a language other than English.

Due to supply issues and shortages in materials, capital works costs have increased from 5% to 15% over baseline

(FY2023 to FY2032 budget) . This has increased the average annual spend from $3 million (5% uplift) to $8.8 million

(15% uplift).

Impact of Climate Emergency is contributing to increased costs for many Council services. One example is the Parks

Service, where prolonged Spring seasons result in greater vegetation growth and more frequent and severe storm

events increase maintenance costs.

Borrowing Rates:

The cost of borrowings are forecast to be significantly impacted by future interest rate increases. The current loan

balance as at 30 June 2022 is $91m, where the majority of the balance is locked in at historically low rates of less than

2%. The projected 10 year Treasury Corporation of Victoria Bond Rate June 2023 is expected to reach 3.85%.

Community Expectation:

The increase in community expectations relating to the use of technology and access to Council services online.

Brimbank prides itself on its cultural diversity, embracing more than 160 nationalities from around the globe.

Brimbank has a rich indigenous history, going back to when the Wurundjeri people first inhabited the region, thriving in the

Maribyrnong Valley. The land has a human history that began with Aboriginal traditional custodians, the Kulin Nation, more

than 40,000 years before European settlement. The area was originally occupied by the KurungJang-Balluk and Marin

Balluk clans of the native Wurundjeri people.

Diversity is central to our identity – we are proudly multicultural, embracing people from around the world and weaving their

stories into our own.

Shifting demographics, changes to Government policy, service model reforms, and ensuring social equity and access in a

constrained financial environment, are creating pressure on the way services and infrastructure are funded and delivered.

External influences

Each year, one in five Victorians will experience a mental health condition. Certain population groups are at higher risk of

poor mental health and mental illness because of greater vulnerability to unfavourable social, economic and environmental

circumstances, including social isolation and loneliness. COVID-19 has also impacted residents' mental health and

wellbeing, particularly those affected by unemployment or with limited access to income support. Prolonged periods of

isolation, restricted activity and limited social connection have damaged mental health and wellbeing of many people.

Brimbank Council adopted its first Mental Wellbeing Plan in 2022 in which we recognise our unique role as advocate,

enabler and facilitator for improved programs and services to support mental wellbeing. The vast majority of Council’s

services, community facilities and programs contribute in some way to help improve mental wellbeing. Council will continue

to develop ways to evaluate the collective impact on positive mental wellbeing.

Global influences:

Climate Change:

Legislative changes have and will continue to have an impact on the operating costs for many Council services, such as

Parks Services compliance with 'Code of Practice for Electric Line Clearance 2020' having a $250,000 impact on service

cost, and increased compliance relating to traffic management planning accreditation and provision having a $250,000

impact on service cost.

As funding from the Federal and State Governments either lessens or remains the same, the 'gap' between the true cost

of running Council services and the level of subsidy continues to grow. Grant revenue as a proportion of total revenue is

budgeted to decrease from a forecast position of 14.36% in 2022/2023 to 10.65% in 2023/2024.

Cost Shifting:

The Fire Services Property Levy is a State Government levy, which is collected by Council on behalf of the State

Government.

The preparation of the Annual Budget 2023/2024 has been influenced by the following external factors:

Rate Base:

The Victorian State Government introduced a cap on rate increases from 2016/17. The cap for 2023/24 has been set at

3.5%.

The landfill levy payable to the State Government upon disposal of waste into landfill has increased from $6.29 million in

FY2022/2023 to $7.44 million in FY2023/2024, and is included in Council's waste management budget.

The Federal Budget delivered in 2021 announced increases in the Superannuation guarantee percentage for the

2021/22 financial year, moving the rate from 9.5% to 10.0%, and a further 0.5% increase, each financial year, until the

rate reaches 12.0% in the 2025/26 financial year. These Superannuation guarantee percentage increases have been

factored into the Annual Budget 2023/24, and outer year figures.

Melbourne Metropolitan CPI is forecast to be 4.0% for 2023/2024, meaning that underlying costs of services are

increasing more than our income base from rates.

Budget Considerations

Budget guidelines were set and prepared based on internal influences and budget principles. These include:

Ongoing objective to gain operational efficiencies and to achieve long term financial sustainability

Internal influences

As well as external influences, there are also a number of internal influences which are expected to have a significant

impact on the preparation of the Annual Budget 2023/24. These matters have arisen from events occurring in the 2022/23

year resulting in variances between the actual and budgeted results for that year and matters expected to arise in the

2023/24 year. These matters and their financial impact are set out below:

Grants were based on anticipated funding levels

Council is committed to continually reviewing services and programs to ensure they meet the needs of our community.

This includes a planned program of service reviews.

New revenue sources were identified where possible

Employee costs include; on-costs such as superannuation, long service leave, annual leave and work cover, enterprise

agreement and performance increments

The effect of rate capping on growth in council rates, in place since financial year 2016/17, has a material impact on

council’s ability to raise revenue and has had a significant cumulative impact on its rates base – estimated at $126m for

the 2023/24 financial year. This rate capped environment has meant Council has had to look for efficiencies to enable us

to continue delivery of services during this time. As identifying efficiencies becomes more difficult, Council then needs to

consider they type and method of services delivered, into the future

An indication of future year’s capital works program for the next 10 years based on Council strategic objectives.

With improvements to systems already creating efficiencies, further improvements are being considered by

impliementing contemporary systems as an enabler for enhancing productivity and customer service.

Operating expenditure such as administration/program, printing and stationery, materials etc. budgets used a principle of

targets based on prior year budget plus indexation, whereby each department's operational expenditure is reviewed

comprehensively and material variances from the target budget had to be justified rather than assume automatic

increases

An increasing demand from the community to address ageing infrastructure, improve the appearance of town centres

and enhance parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities

1. Linkage to the Council Plan

1.1 Legislative planning and accountability framework

1.1.1 Key planning considerations

Service level planning

Community consultation needs to be in line with a councils adopted Community Engagement Policy and Public Transparency Policy.

This section describes how the Budget links to the achievement of the Community Vision and Council Plan within an overall integrated strategic

planning and reporting framework; as prescribed in the

Local Government Act 2020 (The Act)

. This framework guides the Council in identifying

community needs and aspirations over the long term (Community Vision and Financial Plan), medium term (Council Plan, Workforce Plan, and

Revenue and Rating Plan) and short term (Budget) and then holding itself accountable (Annual Report).

The Budget is a rolling four-year plan that outlines the financial and non-financial resources that Council requires to achieve the strategic

objectives described in the Council Plan. The diagram below depicts the integrated strategic planning and reporting framework that applies to

local government in Victoria. At each stage of the integrated strategic planning and reporting framework there are opportunities for community

and stakeholder input. This is important to ensure transparency and accountability to both residents and ratepayers.

Source: Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions

The timing of each component of the integrated strategic planning and reporting framework is critical to the successful achievement of the

planned outcomes.

Although councils have a legal obligation to provide some services— such as animal management, local roads, food safety and statutory

planning—most council services are not legally mandated, including some services closely associated with councils, such as libraries, building

permits and sporting facilities. Further, over time, the needs and expectations of communities can change. Therefore councils need to have

robust processes for service planning and review to ensure all services continue to provide value for money and are in line with community

expectations. In doing so, councils should engage with communities to determine how to prioritise resources and balance service provision

against other responsibilities such as asset maintenance and capital works.

for each type or

class of land compared with the previous financial year:

4. Notes to the financial statements

This section presents detailed information on material components of the financial statements. Council needs to assess which

components are material, considering the dollar amounts and nature of these components.

Rates and charges are required by the Act and the Regulations to be disclosed in Council’s budget.

As per the Local Government Act 2020, Council is required to have a Revenue and Rating Plan which is a four year plan for how

Council will generate income to deliver the Council Plan, program and services and capital works commitments over a four-year

period.

In developing the Budget, rates and charges were identified as an important source of revenue. Planning for future rate increases

has therefore been an important component of the financial planning process. The Fair Go Rates System (FGRS) sets out the

maximum amount councils may increase rates in a year. For 2023/24 the FGRS cap has been set at 3.50%. The cap applies to

both general rates and municipal charges and is calculated on the basis of council’s average rates and charges.

The level of required rates and charges has been considered in this context, with reference to Council's other sources of income

and the planned expenditure on services and works to be undertaken for the community.

To achieve these objectives while maintaining service levels and a strong capital expenditure program, the average general rate

and the municipal charge will increase by 3.50% in line with the rate cap.

This will raise total rates and charges for 2023/24 to $180.96 million, including $0.800 million generated from supplementary

rates.

4.1.1(a) The reconciliation of the total rates and charges to the Comprehensive Income Statement is as follows:

*These items are subject to the rate cap established under the FGRS

Residential Property

Retirement village property is any property, which is defined as a Retirement Village under the

Retirement Villages Act 1986

Rateable assessments under the retirement village classification will be charged at a rate of 109% of the lowest rate.

Council considers that each differential rate will contribute to the equitable and efficient carrying out of council functions. Details

of the objectives of each differential rate, the types of classes of land, which are subject to each differential rate and the uses of

each differential rate, are set out below.

Residential property is any property, which is used for private residential purposes, including but not limited to houses and

dwellings together with vacant unoccupied houses or dwellings and includes vacant land which is located within the Solomon

Heights Estate in North Sunshine which is bounded on the east by the Melbourne to Sydney freight line and is north of Munro

Avenue, east of Vermont Avenue and south of Baldwin Avenue. It excludes motels, caravan parks, supported accommodation,

accommodation houses, boarding houses and the like.

The geographical location of the land within this differential rate is wherever located within the municipal district, without

reference to ward boundaries.

The money raised by the differential rate will be applied to the items of expenditure described in the Annual Budget by Council.

The level of the rate for this category is considered to provide for an appropriate contribution to Council’s budgeted expenditure,

having regards to the characteristics of the land.

Residential Flat/Unit Property

Residential Flat/Unit property is any property which is used for private residential purposes, including but not limited to flats,

units, dual occupancy dwellings together with vacant flats, units, dual occupancy dwellings. It excludes motels, caravan parks,

supported accommodation, accommodation houses, boarding houses and the like.

• A general rate of 0.17387% (0.17387 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable residential flats and units properties;

• A general rate of 0.16198% (0.16198 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable retirement village properties;

• A general rate of 0.18353% (0.18353 cents in the dollar of CIV) for all rateable cultural and recreational properties.

Each differential rate will be determined by multiplying the CIV of each rateable land (categorised by the characteristics

described below) by the relevant percentages indicated above.

the property.

• Properties used as offices.

The money raised by the differential rate will be applied to the items of expenditure described in the Annual Budget by Council.

The level of the rate for this category is considered to provide for an appropriate contribution to Council’s budgeted expenditure,

on site;

Vacant land is any land, which is:

Page 38

Under the

Cultural and Recreational Land Act 1963

, provision is made for a Council to grant a rating concession to any

“recreational lands” which meet the test of being “rateable land” under the

Local Government Act 1989

The rate reflects the level of service provided and ensures that reasonable rate relativity is maintained between vacant land and

other classes of land.

Farm Property

Farm property is any land, which is:

• Not less than 2 hectares in area;

• Used for the carrying of a business of primary production as determined by the Australian Taxation Office; and

• Used primarily for grazing, dairying, pig farming, poultry farming, fish farming, tree farming, bee keeping, viticulture,

horticulture, fruit growing, or the growing of crops of any kind or for any combination of these activities.

Commercial/Industrial Vacant land is any land on which no building designed or adapted for occupation is erected and is located

within:

• Industrial 1, 2 or 3 Zone;

• an Activity Centre Zone with an approved precinct plan for commercial or industrial use;

• a Mixed Used Zone;

• a Special Use Zone.

Cultural and Recreational Land

but does not include land which is located within the Solomon Heights Estate in North Sunshine which is bounded on the east by

the Melbourne to Sydney freight line and is north of Munro Avenue, east of Vermont Avenue and south of Baldwin Avenue.

The rate reflects the level of service provided and ensures that reasonable rate relativity is maintained between recreational land

and other classes of land.

The farm rate is lower than for other classes of land due to farming operations involving large properties which tend to have

significant value and which are often operated as family concerns. Agricultural producers are unable to pass on increases in

costs like other businesses. Farm profitability is affected by the fluctuations of weather and international markets. In this sense,

farms are seen to be more susceptible or fragile than other commercial and industrial operations.

The money raised by the differential rate will be applied to the items of expenditure described in the Annual Budget by Council.

The level of the rate for this category is considered to provide for an appropriate contribution to Council’s budgeted expenditure,

having regards to the characteristics of the land.

A detailed listing of statutory fees and non-statutory fees is included in Appendix A.

User charges relate mainly to the recovery of service delivery costs through the charging of fees to users of Council’s services.

These include use of leisure facilities, community facilities and the provision of community wellbeing such as family day care and

home help services.

User fees are projected to increase by $2.01 million or 13.51% compared to the 2022/2023 forecast. This is predominately due to

higher income from the Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness Centre (BAWC) as memberships are projected to increase in 2023/24.

The 2022/23 forecast incorporates the impact of the three months delays in the opening of the Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness

Centre (BAWC).

Change

In setting the Annual Budget, the key principle for determining the level of user fees has been to ensure:

• Increases are kept to a minimum or in line with market levels

• They are not charged more than actual expenditure

• They are in compliance with the National Competition Policy

The increase of $0.98 million or 12.04% compared to 2022/23 forecast is due to an increase in compliance fees driven by higher

permits and registrations fees collected as Covid measures lapse.

Statutory fees relate mainly to fees and fines levied in accordance with legislation and include animal registrations, health

registrations, planning and building fees and parking fines. Statutory fees are set in accordance with legislative requirements.

Non–monetary Contributions relate to assets that arise out of new subdivisions within the municipality and are vested to Council.

The level of the non-monetary contributions anticipated in 2023/24 is $3.30 million, an increment of $2.30 million compared to

2022/23 as COVID-19 lapses.

Council regularly assesses its land holdings to ensure Council owned land best meets the needs of the community. Through this

process, land is both purchased and, where it is identified as being surplus to Council’s needs, proposed for sale.

4.1.6 Net gain/(loss) on disposal of property, infrastructure, plant and equipment

A net loss of $0.41 million is projected for 2023/24.

Change

Proceeds from the sale of Council assets relate mainly to the sale of Council owned land and the planned cyclical replacement of

part of the plant and vehicle fleet.

Change

Monetary Contributions relate to monies received from Developer Contributions, State Government, Federal Government,

Special Rates schemes and community sources. Overall, the level of monetary contributions expected for 2023/24 is $4.43

million which has decreased by ($1.34 million) or 23.26 % compared to 2022/23. This is mainly due to the decrease in number of

subdivision budgeted during the 2022/23 year.

A list of operating and capital grants by type and source, classified into recurrent and non-recurrent is included in the table

above.

Operating Grants include all monies received from State and Commonwealth sources for the purposes of funding the delivery of

the Council’s services to ratepayers. Overall, the operating grant level is projected to increase by $7.40 million or 40.42%

compared to the 2022/23 forecast.

The 2022/23 forecast reflects lower grants due to the recurrent operating grants (Victorian Grants Commission funding) being

paid to Brimbank earlier than anticipated and was recognised in the 2021/2022 financial year.

Capital Grants include all monies received from State, Commonwealth and community sources for the purposes of funding the

capital works program. Overall, the level of capital grants is expected to decrease by ($15.33 million) or 92.85% compared to

2022/23. This largely due to one-off State Government COVID-19 economic stimulus grants received in 2021/22 financial year,

and was carried forward to be utilised in 2022/23.

Employee costs are budgeted to increase by $14.55 million or 15.62% compared to the 2022/23 forecast. This is predominately

due to:

Change

• The impact of unfilled vacancies across the council in 2022/23, mostly due to the delays in opening Brimbank Aquatic &

Wellness Centre (BAWC). The budget for 2023/24 is based on the assumption that every position will be filled throughout the

year. Much of the vacancies in 2022/23 were backfilled by contract labour (forecasted as Agency costs in materials and services)

• The Council shifted from Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 8 (EA8) to the new Enterprise Bargaining Agreement 9 (EA9)

• Reclassification of existing staff positions and band movements across the council

Change

Other income relates to a range of items such as private works, cost recoveries and other miscellaneous income items. It also

includes interest revenue on investments and rate arrears.

Other income is budgeted to decrease by ($0.13 million) or 2.44% compared to the 2022/23 forecast. This is mainly due to

unbudgeted Compensation recovery of $0.50 million received in 2022/23, offset by expected increases in Rental/Lease income

and Interest income on Rates and Investments.

Employee costs include all labour related expenditure such as wages and salaries, allowances, leave entitlements, employer

superannuation, etc. Payments to contract employees are not included in this cost category.

• Increase in Consultants costs by $1.82 million mostly in IT support, for the M365 Implementation costs, ICT Fleet Operational

and Corporate Backend Systems Consolidation and Uplift projects

This is partly offset by decreases attributable to:

• Reduction in contract payments (Agency costs) primarily due to anticipation that vacancies backfilled by contract staff in

2022/23 become filled with staff in 2023/24.

Depreciation is an accounting measure which attempts to allocate the value of an asset over its useful life for Council’s property,

plant and equipment including infrastructure assets such as roads and drains.

Overall, the level of bad and doubtful debts is budgeted to remain the same as the 2022/23 forecast. This is also in keeping with

prior year trends.

Materials and services include the purchases of consumables, payments to contractors for the provision of services and utility

costs.

Change

Material and services are budgeted to increase by $4.88 million or 6.66% compared to the forecast for 2022/23. Significant

increases are:

• Increase in Information Technology costs of $1.25 million due to increased fees for licences and certificates as well

as additional software purchases.

The increase of $1.24 million or 2.62% compared to 2022/23 forecast is due mainly to the effect of the 2022/23 Capital Works

Program on depreciation and the revaluation of several infrastructure asset classes.

• Increase of $1.46 million in Utilities driven mostly by an increase in Gas costs in Leisure Centres, Electricity and

Telecommunications costs

Change

The term 'right of use asset' refers to assets leased by an organisation for which they have a contractual right to use. Due to a

change in accounting standards the value of Council's leased assets is required to be recognised in Council's accounts as well

as subsequent amortization of said assets. It essentially reflects the consumption of a leased asset over its useful life.

Change

Borrowing costs relate to interest charged by financial institutions on funds borrowed. The increase of $0.1 million or 4.14% due

to additional loans in 2023/24.

Change

Council is now required to account for the interest component of lease payments separately. The interest component included in

lease payments compensates the leasing company for tying up its capital during the lease term.

As a result of the introduction of AASB 16 Leases, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been recognised as outlined in

the table below:

The decrease in current assets is mainly attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of ($26.82 million). Cash and

cash equivalents include cash and investments such as cash held in the bank and in petty cash and the value of investments in

deposits or other highly liquid investments with short-term maturities of three months or less.

Other assets includes items such as prepayments for expenses that Council has paid in advance of service delivery, inventories

or stocks held for sale or consumption in Council’s services and other revenues due to be received in the next 12 months. There

are no significant changes expected in these balances.

Total non-current assets are expected to increase by $12.99 million compared to 2022/23.

Current Liabilities

This is partially offset by a decrease of ($1.24 million) in Lease Liabilities as existing lease obligations wind down closer to their

expiry date.

Total non-current liabilities, which represents obligations that Council must pay beyond the next year, are expected to decrease

by ($7.79 million) from 2022/23 primarily due to reductions in lease liabilities and the repayment interest-bearing loans and

borrowings.

Non-Current Assets

The table below shows information on borrowings specifically required by the Regulations.

Property, infrastructure, plant and equipment is the largest component of Council’s Non-Current Assets and represents the value

of all the land, buildings, roads, vehicles, equipment, etc. which has been built up by Council over many years. The increase in

this balance is largely attributable to the Capital Works Program of $72.40 million (which includes carried forward works of

$16.54 million from 2022/23), offset by the depreciation of assets ($48.53 million).

Non-Current Liabilities

Current Assets

Total current liabilities, which represent obligations that Council must pay within the next year, are expected to increase by $7.27

million from 2022/23. This is predominantly due to Trust funds and deposits expected to increase by $3.61 million, Provisions

(including accrued long service leave and annual leave owing to employees) expected to increase by $2.64 million and $1.37

million in interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-bearing liabilities represent the balance of Council's outstanding loans and

borrowings.

Total current assets in 2023/24 are projected to decrease by ($23.56 million) compared to 2022/23 forecast.

Trade and Other receivables increase by $2.96 million. Trade & Other Receivables are monies owed to Council by ratepayers

and others.

4.3 Statement of changes in Equity

4.3.1 Reserves

• decrease in Major Projects Reserve ($13.32 million);

4.3.2 Equity

4.4 Statement of Cash Flows

4.4.1 Net cash flows provided by/used in operating activities

This is partially offset by:

4.4.2 Net cash flows provided by/used in investing activities

4.4.3 Net cash flows provided by/used in financing activities

• decrease in Developers Contributions ($1.23 million).

Cash flows from investing activities depicts inflows and outflows of cash related to the acquisition and disposal of Council assets.

Assets are deemed to be an 'investment' in the business hence the term 'investment activities'.

Cash flows from investing activities depicts inflows and outflows of cash related to the acquisition and redemption of financial

loans as well as interest payments and principal repayments of loans.

• Reserves - which represents funding set aside for specific purposes as well as changes in the value of Council's

assets after a revaluation takes place. Reserves are budgeted to decrease by ($13.25 million) by the end of 2023/24.

Cash flows from operating activities depicts inflows and outflows of cash from ongoing regular business activities. The net cash

flows from operating activities does not equal the operating surplus (deficit) for the year as this includes non-cash items such as

depreciation which have been excluded from the Cash Flow Statement

Net cash from financing activities is budgeted to end the 2023/24 year with a net outflow of cash of ($8.21 million) after

forecasting to end the 2022/23 year with net inflows of ($7.50 million). This represents an overall outflow of $0.71 million over the

course of the 2022/23 year. This is primarily attributable to a decrease in Proceeds from borrowings of $1.00 million (from $7.00

million forecast in 2022/23 to $6.00 million budgeted for 2023/24).

• An increase in the cash outflows for Employee costs of ($14.55 million) driven by the return to normal operations after the

negative impact caused by COVID-19, that resulted in closure of facilities. The 2022/23 forecast incorporates the impact of

unfilled vacancies across the council in 2022/23, mostly due to the delays in opening of the Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness Centre

(BAWC). The budget for 2023/24 is based on the assumption that every position will be filled throughout the year

Total equity is expected to decrease by ($10.05 million) by the end of 2023/24. Total equity is the net of Council's Total Assets

less Council's Total Liabilities and is made up of the following components:

• Accumulated surplus - which is an accumulation of Council's operating results since its inception. This is budgeted to

increase by $3.20 million by the end of 2023/24.

Reserves are budgeted to decrease by a net ($13.25) million comprising the following movements

• increase in Sinking Fund Reserve $1.30 million;

Net cash outflows from investing activities are budgeted to increase by ($11.56 million) from 2022/23 forecast primarily due a

decrease in Property, plant and equipment outflows of ($10.86 million) combined with an decrease in the cash inflows from the

proceeds of sale of investments of ($0.71 million).

Net cash inflow from operating activities are budgeted to decrease by ($24.77 million) from the 2022/23 forecast mainly due to:

• An increase in the cash outflows for Materials and Services of ($7.24 million) for a return to normal operations. Significant

outflows are primarily due to increase in Utilitities such as Gas costs in Leisure Centres, Electricity and Telecommunications

costs

• A decrease in inflows for Rates and charges of ($1.42 million).

• An increase in cash inflows for User Fees of $2.00 million predominately due to higher income from the Brimbank Aquatic &

Wellness Centre (BAWC) as memberships are projected to increase in 2023/24. The 2022/23 forecast incorporates the impact

of the three months delays in the opening of the Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness Centre (BAWC);

• An increase in cash inflows for Statutory Fees and Fines of $0.98 million budgeting for a return to normal operations as COVID-

19 lapses.

Summary of Funding Sources

Council's proposed Capital Works Program for 2023/24 will be $72.40 million, which includes $16.55 million of carried forward from

2022/23.

Project Cost

Change

A distinction is made between expenditure on new assets, asset renewal, and upgrade. Asset renewal relates to expenditure on

existing asset or replacement of an existing asset, that returns service level to its original capability. Expenditure on new assets

does not have any element of expansion or upgrade of existing assets, but will result in an additional burden for future operation,

maintenance and capital renewal. It is worth noting that with the Capital renewal expenditure of $23.87 million being below the

annual asset depreciation budget of $48.53 million, Council's assets are deteriorating at a quicker rate than they are being

renewed. Council will be funding $71.22 million or 98.4% of the total capital expenditure.

5. Asset renewal

Reflects extent of reliance on rate revenues to fund all of Council's on-going services. Trend indicates Council will continue to be reliant on rate revenue compared to all other

revenue sources.

The proportion of current liabilities represented by current assets. It is a general measure of the organisation's liquidity and its ability to meet its commitments as and when they

fall due. Working capital is budgeted to decrease from 177.74 in 2022/23 forecast to 151.68 in 2023/24.

3. Unrestricted Cash

This represents cash funds which are free of all specific Council commitments and are available to meet daily cash flow requirements, unexpected short term needs and any

Budget commitments. Council's unrestricted cash includes total cash balances less (1) allocations for carry forward of capital projects, (2) amounts transferred to reserve for

open space developer contributions and (3) amounts transferred to reserves to meet future principal repayments for interest only debt obligations.

4. Debt compared to rates

This indicator observes Council's ability to repay its debts using its key source of income, Rates. The ratio is forecasted to be at 51.16 then reduce to 46.46 for the 2023-2024

Budget therefore a decrease in the level of debt.

This ratio indicates the extent of Council's renewals against its depreciation charge (an indication of the decline in value of its existing capital assets). A percentage greater than

100 indicates Council is maintaining its existing assets, while a percentage less than 100 means its assets are deteriorating faster than they are being renewed and future capital

expenditure will be required to renew assets. The asset renewal ratio will go from a Forecast of 120.73 to a 2023-2024 Budget of 96.33.

Notes to indicators

1. Adjusted underlying result

An indicator of the sustainable operating result required to enable Council to continue to provide core services and meet its objectives. The 'Adjusted underlying result' ratio

forecast (2.02) is lower than the budgeted amount of 0.08, indicated that for the Forecast we are not generating enough internally sourced revenue to fund the operations.
