THE YEAR AHEAD During the 2012/2013 financial year, all Western Australian local governments were required to develop and adopt a number of documents which together formed an Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. These documents included a Strategic Community Plan, a Corporate Business Plan, a Workforce Plan, a 10 Year Financial Plan and associated Asset Management Plans. The City of Stirling’s 2013/2014 financial year Budget is the first developed with reference to the new Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and incorporates those projects and activities identified to continue, commence or be finalised during the year. With the economy slowing and the economies of scale that the City enjoys, there are opportunities to minimise cost increases which have a direct effect on the revenue required from rates and other charges. This year will see general and minimum rates increase by 3.49% with no increase in the domestic refuse collection charges which remain at 2012/2013 levels. The security charge will increase by $1 to $28. Overall, a general rate account with a 240 litre domestic waste service and security charge will increase by 2.81%. The changes in the City’s general rates and charges are summarised below.

In the case of minimum rated properties, the overall increase is only 2.59%. The City is working closely with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority to progress the major redevelopment along the Scarborough Beachfront. The City has also budgeted to undertake the following major projects:

Completion of a new multi use pavilion at the Grenville Reserve, Tuart Hill.

Construction of a multi purpose community pavilion at Charles Riley Reserve, North Beach.

Construct new toilets/change rooms at Celebration Park, Balga.

Refurbish the Jim Satchell Recreation Centre, Dianella.

The City will also spend significant funds on the maintenance and improvement of its infrastructure. This includes:

$28.2M on roads, drainage and footpaths

$7.7M of new works on parks and reserves

$12.8M of capital building works.

The City’s prudent Budget for 2013/2014 delivers a high level of services while the City remains debt free. It also provides the flexibility to fund a range of exciting major projects that will present a variety of long term benefits to the City in a sustainable manner.

REPORTING REGIME

In August 2003 the City reconfigured its Management structure to a more streamlined Business Unit format aimed at introducing a more accountable and commercialised approach to the management of Council business. In March 2005, the Building, Planning and Health departments restructured to form a Policy and Strategic Development Unit (now known as City Planning), an Approvals Unit and a Health and Compliance Unit. This structure is aimed at improving customer service and reducing delays in providing Building and Planning approvals. The City's overall structure is focused on enabling the City to operate in an environment of contestability and accountability.

Statement of Rating Information

Statement of Non Operating Expenditures On 1 July 2003, the City introduced new core information systems which revolutionised the way business is undertaken. The systems currently utilised:-

Technology 1 Enterprise Suite – Financials a commercial accounting package

Property 1 – Ci a state-of-the-art property system

Technology 1 Enterprise Suite – Works & Assets an operating asset management system

Technology 1 Enterprise Content Management a document management system

Alesco a human resource/payroll system

Assetic SAM a strategic asset management system

These systems permitted the City to develop budget concepts that support the City’s strategic plan whilst providing services with a commercial focus. Technology 1 Enterprise Suite – Financials has been developed to accommodate the Directorate/Business Unit format with the aim of driving budgetary control down to the areas which manage those businesses. In addition to the Statutory Reporting formats the City compiles reports which are focussed on the business operations and are used by the various Directorates and Business Units to ensure budget accountability and control.

Nil. Background

The City’s 2013/14 Municipal Budget and related documentation has been formulated by the City’s Business Units and Executive with consideration and input by Councillors at four dedicated workshops between April and June 2013. It is the culmination of six months work by staff from all Business Units within the City and subsequent review, discussion and input by Councillors through the workshop sessions. The City of Stirling is the largest Local Government in Western Australia based on population with an overall revenue and expenditure budget in 2013/14 of $259.9M. In broad terms the 2013/14 Budget consists of:

$195.5M Operating Expenditure

$ 64.4M Capital Expenditure

$ 5.3M Net Transfer from Reserves

In 2013/14 the City of Stirling will raise $115.3M from general rate revenue. The 2013/14 rate-in-the-$ is proposed to be :-

Gross Rental Value 5.277 cents in the $ of Gross Rental Valuation.

26

This represents an average increase of 3.5% over 2012/13. Minimum Payments will also rise 3.5% to $763 rounded to the nearest dollar. The special minimum for Parkland Villas Retirement Village high care apartments increases to $693. Specified Area Rates are:

Mirrabooka Trades Area 3.71 cents in the $ of Gross Rental Valuation.

Refuse Collection Charges have not increased over last year. This is due in part to the reduction in bulk rubbish collections introduced in 2012/2013. The refuse collection charges are proposed to be :-

120L Bin $221.50 240L Bin $278.00 480L Bin $368.00 720L Bin $458.00 Shared 240L Bin $221.50 Bulk Bin 120L Service $221.50 Bulk Bin 240L Service $278.00

The City’s debt free policy continues with no provision in 2013/14 to borrow funds for works. The Capital Works Programme of $86.8M (inclusive of $22.4M provisional carried forward works) is dissected as follows.

$M Engineering 34,322,586 Parks and Reserve 10,161,244 Building 22,871,505 Corporate Projects 4,930,650 Fleet and Plant 9,918,652 Information Technology 1,421,960 Other 3,156,807

Total $86,783,413 An estimated surplus of $12.1M is projected for the 2012/2013 financial year, which includes 50% of the 2013/2014 financial assistance grants which are to be paid to the City in the last few days of June. Any difference between the projected surplus and that realised will be attended to as part of the mid year budget review. Property Rates have been increased by 3.5%. For non minimum rated properties, the average increase in total charges raised by the City, consisting of rates, rubbish service and security service, will be 2.8% and where the property is minimum rated the overall increase is 2.6%. This years Budget provides for $28.2M of new expenditure on the City’s road network. This includes $12.3M on road upgrades, construction and resurfacing. $5.4M will be spent on drainage, $3.8M on traffic management, $2.4M on footpath construction and $2.6M on rights of way upgrading. Parks and Reserves will benefit from $7.7M of new works including $2.4M on paths and paving and $1.4M on irrigation replacement. Other amounts are allowed for revegetation ($0.5M), lighting and electrical work ($0.7M) and landscaping and general reserve development ($0.6M). The City’s new capital building programme includes $1.4M funding to complete the new multi use pavilion at Grenville Reserve, $4.0M has been provided towards a new multi use community pavilion at Charles Riley Reserve and $0.5M to construct new toilet/change room facilities at Celebration Park. Other funding has been provided for the refurbishment of the

27

Jim Satchell recreation centre in Dianella, a toilet in Morris Place, Innaloo and the multicultural centre in Mirrabooka. There is also funding for a number of other minor capital upgrades, refurbishments, disability access, air conditioning, health and safety initiatives and energy efficiencies in the City’s buildings. The Mirrabooka regional centre improvement works are currently on hold while the impact of the proposed light rail line is considered. With the State Government’s recent commitment to part fund and have the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority progress works in Scarborough, it is expected that the Scarborough Environs Area Strategy (SEAS) will receive the much needed resources to progress an enhancement of the Scarborough Beach front. The 2013/14 Budget provides sufficient funding to ensure the current levels and number of services provided by the City is maintained. There are continuing upward pressures on the cost of providing all facilities and services and every effort has been made to keep increases in charges to the minimum. This years Budget includes Service Charges and allocations to facilitate the undergrounding of power in the Coolbinia area. The Coolbinia State Underground Power Project will commence in July 2013 and will cost the City $3,244,717. This will be raised from property owners in the project area by way of Service Charges which depend on their KVA supply and network connection requirements. Prompt payment discounts are proposed in addition to instalment arrangements up to 7 years. Under new legislation, eligible pensioners will be able to obtain State Government funded rebates. The 2013/2014 Draft Budget is recommended to Council for adoption.

Page 40

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE 2013/14 BUDGET

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these Budget Statements are:

a) Basis of Accounting

These statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards which outline a framework for the preparation and presentation of Financial Statements and the report incorporates other mandatory professional reporting requirements of the Local Government Act 1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended). The report has also been prepared on the accrual basis under the convention of historical cost accounting modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities.

b) Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this experience and other factors combine to form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

c) The Local Government Reporting Entity

All funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in the financial statements forming part of this financial report. In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balances between those funds (for example, loans and transfers between funds) have been eliminated. All monies held in Trust Funds are excluded from the financial statements.

d) 2012/2013 Actual Balances Balances shown in this budget as 2012/2013 Actuals are as forecast at the time of budget preparation and are subject to final adjustment.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 41

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and municipal fund bank account that are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values.

(f) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months.

(g) Fixed Assets

Each class of fixed assets is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Effective from 1 July 2012, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations were amended and the measurement of non-current assets at Fair Value became mandatory. The amendments allow for a phasing in of fair value in relation to fixed assets over three years as follows: (a) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2013, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government that are plant and equipment; and (b) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2014, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government – (i) that are plant and equipment; and (ii) that are –

(I) land and buildings; or (II) infrastructure;

and (c) for a financial year ending on or after 30 June 2015, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government. The City of Stirling has commenced the process of adopting Fair Value in accordance with the Regulations

(i) Land Under Control In accordance with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a), the Council is required to include as an asset (by 30 June 2013), Crown Land operated by the local government as a golf course, showground, racecourse or other sporting or recreational facility of state or regional significance. Upon initial recognition, these assets were recorded at cost in accordance with AASB 116. They are then classified as Land and will be revalued along with other land in accordance with the City’s policies. Whilst they were initially recorded at cost, fair value at the date of acquisition is deemed cost as per AASB 116.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 42

Consequently, these assets were initially recognised at cost but will be revalued along with other items of Land and Buildings by 30 June 2014.

(ii) Easements Due to legislative changes, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(b), easements are required to be recognised as assets. They are initially recognised at cost and have an indefinite useful life.

(iii) Initial Recognition

All assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given as consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. The cost of non-current assets constructed by the Council includes the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Council and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as expenses in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

(iv) Revaluation When performing a revaluation, the Council uses a mix of both independent and management valuations using the following as a guide: Revalued assets are carried at their fair value being the price that would be received to sell the asset, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For land and buildings, fair value will be determined based on the nature of the asset class. For land and non-specialised buildings, fair value is determined on the basis of observable open market values of similar assets, adjusted for conditions and comparability at their highest and best use. With regards to specialised buildings, fair value is determined having regard for current replacement including construction costs based on recent contract prices, current condition, residual values and remaining useful life assessments. Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carrying values are not materially different from fair value. For infrastructure and other asset classes where no active market exists, fair value is determined to be the current replacement cost of an asset less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of assets are credited to a revaluation surplus in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases in the same asset class are recognised against revaluation surplus directly in equity. All other decreases are recognised comprehensive income statement.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 43

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the same asset class. In addition, the amendments to the Financial Management Regulations mandating the use of Fair Value imposes a further minimum 3 year revaluation requirement. As a minimum, all assets carried at a revalued amount, will be revalued at least every 3 years. Transitional Arrangements During the time it takes to transition the carrying value of non-current assets from the cost approach to the fair value approach, the Council may still be utilising both methods across differing asset classes. Those assets carried at cost will be carried in accordance with the policy detailed in the Initial Recognition section as detailed above. Those assets carried at fair value will be carried in accordance with the Revaluation section as detailed above. The City of Stirling will be undertaking the revaluation of assets over the next three years, however the 2013/2014 budget does not include any revaluation costs that may arise. Currently all assets are held at the acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation.

(v) Land Under Roads In Western Australia, all land under roads is Crown land, the responsibility for managing them is vested in the local government. Effective as at 1 July 2008, the City of Stirling has elected not to recognise land under roads as an asset in the Balance Sheet. This accords with the treatment available in Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1051 Land Under Roads and the fact Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a)(i) prohibits local governments from recognising such land as an asset. In respect of land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008, as detailed above, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a)(i) prohibits local governments from recognising such land as an asset. Whilst such treatment is inconsistent with the requirements of AASB 1051, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 4(2) provides, in the event of such an inconsistency, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations prevail. Consequently, any land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008 is not included as an asset of the Council.

(vi) Depreciation of Non-Current Assets

All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in those assets.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 44

Property, Plant and Equipment, including buildings but excluding freehold land, reserves reticulation and other parks infrastructure are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reporting period.. The carrying cost of infrastructure assets is depreciated on an annual basis to reflect its expected life. The expected useful lives are as follows:

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated from the date of acquisition or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed and held ready for use. Infrastructure assets are depreciated from 1 July following the year in which they were constructed or acquired. The City has elected not to depreciate Reserves, Reticulation and Other Parks Infrastructure as the high level of ongoing maintenance of these assets does not result in any decreases in values.

Capitalisation threshold Property, Plant and Equipment with a value exceeding $1,000 and all infrastructure assets are capitalised and taken into account in the Council's Asset Registers at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation or amortisation and any accumulated impairment values.

(h) Investment Property

The City does not hold any properties for investments, any property assets held as owners are for the purpose of delivering services to the ratepayers.

(i) Rates

The rating and reporting periods coincide. All rates levied for the year are recognised as revenue.

(j) Grants, Donations and Other Contributions

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 45

All grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenue when the Council obtains control over the monies (assets) comprising the contributions. Expenditure of those monies is made in the manner specified under the conditions upon which the Council received those monies. Control over assets acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.

(k) Trade and Other Payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Council becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services.

(l) Provisions for Employee Benefits

The provision for employee entitlements relates to amounts expected to be paid to employees for long service leave and annual leave and is based on legal and contractual entitlements. The funds in the Council’s long service leave reserve bank account are considered adequate.

Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Provisions made in respect of long service leave which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Council in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Provisions for sick leave are not made in the accounts as they are non-vesting and are paid when incurred.

(m) Superannuation

The Council contributes to the Local Government Superannuation Scheme and the Occupational Superannuation Fund. Both funds are defined contribution schemes. The superannuation expense for the reporting period is the total contribution the City makes towards superannuation plans which provides benefits to its employees.

(n) Land Held for Resale

Land purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition and development. Interest and other holding charges incurred are recognised immediately as expenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the Statement as at the time of signing a binding contract of sale.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 46

(o) Leases

In respect of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased items, lease payments are charged to expense over the lease term. The Council has no finance leases.

(p) Interest in Regional Council

The Council's interest in two Regional Councils has been recognised in the financial statements at cost of contributed equity.

(q) Goods and Services Tax

All amounts disclosed in the Statutory Budget and its accompanying Financial Statements are net of any tax which is payable or claimable under Goods and Services Taxation legislation. The Australian Taxation Office is held as both a creditor and a debtor for amounts payable or receivable. The cash flow statement is reproduced on a gross basis and includes any GST involved in the cash flows.

(r) Rounding Off Figures

All figures shown in this budget, other than a rate in the dollar, are rounded to the nearest dollar. This may result in minor variations between individual schedules.

(s) Comparative Figures

Where required, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.

(t) Budget Comparative Figures

Unless otherwise stated, the budget comparative figures shown in this annual financial report relate to the original budget estimate for the relevant item of disclosure.

(u) Impairment

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the assets of the City of Stirling, other than inventories, are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication they may be impaired.

Where such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying amount.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 47

Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (eg AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard. At the time of adopting the Budget, it is not possible to estimate the amount of impairment losses (if any) as at 30 June 2013. In any event, an impairment loss is a non-cash transaction and consequently has no impact on this budget document.

v) Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk

The City of Stirling's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates, is considered negligible for all financial instruments.

Liquidity risk is managed through maintaining adequate cash reserves and borrowing facilities. This is achieved by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, maintaining an appropriate mix of financial institutions to invest with and setting limits in terms of borrowing and investments.

w) Receivables

Receivables are recognised as the amount to be received for goods and services provided. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised to the extent that collection of a full amount receivable is no longer probable. Bad debts are identified and approved in accordance with Council's policy.

x) Borrowings

The balance of the bank overdraft amount reflects the book position and includes cheques that have been drawn but have not yet been debited to the bank account. Funds are maintained in investment until required.

y) Investments and Other Financial Assets

Financial Assets in the scope of AASB139 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement" are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, recognised held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Council determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year.

2013/14 Budget Notes _____________________________________________________________________

Page 48

z) Current and Non-Current Classification

In the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to the time when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council's operational cycle. In the case of liabilities where the Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, such as vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non-current based on the Council's intentions to release for sale.

other than rates and also bearing in mind the extent of any increase in rating over the level adopted in the previous year.

The minimum rates have been determined by Council on the basis that all rate payers must make a reasonable contribution to the cost of the Local Government services/facilities.

5. SPECIFIED AREA RATE – 2013/14 FINANCIAL YEAR

A Specified Area Rate is levied on a small number of properties in the Mirrabooka Trades Subdivision. The purpose of the rate is to fund the infrastructure maintenance within the specified area, which would normally be the responsibility of the individual owners. Details of the 2013/14 Specified Area Rate are as follows:

Rate-in-the-$ applied to GRV 3.709 cents Estimated number of properties 23 Rateable value of properties subject to

Specified Area Rate $525,230 Estimated Revenue from Specified Area Rate $19,480 Revenue from Interim Specified Area Rate 0 Revenue from Back Specified Area Rate 0

(i) Workers Compensation Premiums Reserve

The scope of operation of this reserve is the payment of premium obligations and common law claims with respect to work related injuries for which the City of Stirling, as employer, has a statutory or common law liability. Objectives set for the fund are:-

1. To accumulate funds as potential liabilities are incurred to meet contingent payments under Burning Cost Workers Compensation insurance.

2. To provide for common law claims arising from worker injuries. 3. To obviate the impact of large claim payments deviating funds

from scheduled works programs.

4. To provide flexibility for the Council in managing the funding of premium obligations to minimise the City’s long term cost of Workers Compensation insurance.

(ii) Garbage Bin Replacement Reserve

This Reserve account is designed to cushion any unpredicted peaks in the cost of ongoing replacement of some 85,000 Mobile Garbage Bins. These are used for the collection of domestic refuse from premises within the City.

(iii) Sanitation Heavy Fleet Replacement Reserve

This Reserve account is designed to eliminate the need for substantial allocations from rates in any year. The principle behind the Reserve is that a proportionate payment will be made from the general fund annually that relates to utilisation (consumption) of existing plant and provides for plant replacement. The amount to be transferred from the reserve is $1,321,400 and will be used to replace five fleet items.

(iv) Previous Employees Long Service Leave Provision Reserve

The purpose of this Reserve is to provide for liabilities for long service leave payments that may need to be made to other local governments in respect of the transferred service entitlement of past employees of the City of Stirling.

Regulations provide that long service leave entitlements are transferable from Council to Council for an employee’s uninterrupted service in local government. When a continuing employee is due for long service the local governments in which the employee has worked each contribute to the cost of the long service leave based on the closing salary and proportion of the employees qualifying period worked at each municipality. The reserve fund records an estimated liability based on estimates of the incidence of continuing employment factored against the cash liability at the time an employee leaves the City to continue employment elsewhere in local government.

(v) Staff Leave Liability Reserve

It is the function of this Reserve to cash-back the liability of the Council for long service leave and annual leave for continuing employees. The liability is calculated based on legal and contractual entitlements. Current wage and salary rates are used in the calculation of provisions. The calculation of the
