THE financial report, for the period ended 30 April 2018, which will be presented at Tuesday’s open Douglas Shire Council meeting, will reveal that operating revenue exceeds budget expectations by $964,000; operating expenditure is under budget by $1.1million; and the operating surplus is currently $3.5million, compared to a budgeted surplus of $1.4million.
The budget papers advise that net rates and utility charges are $31,000 under budget as a result of a combination of less than anticipated revenue from growth; a refund of sewerage charges which were raised in error over a number of years; and greater than anticipated revenue from water usage charges.
Fees and charges are ahead of budget by $27,000 due to the following variations: Ferry fares: $3,000 (impacted by dry docking); Building and property related fees, licences and other fees and charges: $24,000.
