Financial Statements 2010
The Hills Shire Council
Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
page 9
The principal accounting policies adopted by Council in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below in order to assist in its general understanding.
Under Australian Accounting Standards, accounting policies are defined as those specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by a reporting entity (in this case Council) in preparing and presenting it’s financial statements.
(a) Basis of preparation
(i) Background
These financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with;
Australian Accounting Standards,
Urgent Issues Group Interpretations,
the Local Government Act (1993) and Regulation, and
the Local Government Code of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting.
(ii) Compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
Because Australian Accounting Standards (AASB's) are sector neutral, some standards either:
(a) have local Australian content and prescription that is specific to the Not-For-Profit sector (including Local Government) which are not in compliance with IFRS’s, or
(b) specifically exclude application by Not for Profit entities.
Examples include;
excluding Local Government from applying AASB 120 (IAS 20) for Grant Accounting and AASB 118 (IAS 18) for Segment Reporting, &
different requirements on (a) Impairment of Assets relating to Not-For-Profit AASB 136 (IAS 36) and (b) AASB 116 (IAS 16) regarding accounting for the Revaluation of Assets.
Accordingly in preparing these financial statements and accompanying notes, Council has been unable to comply fully with International Accounting Standards, but it has complied fully with Australian Accounting Standards.
Under the Local Government Act, Regulations and Local Government Code of Accounting Practice & Financial Reporting, it should be noted that Councils in NSW only have a requirement to comply with Australian Accounting Standards.
(iii) Basis of Accounting
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for (i) financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, available-for-sale financial assets and investment properties which are all valued at fair value, (ii) the write down of any Asset on the basis of Impairment (if warranted) and (iii) certain classes of Infrastructure, property, plant & equipment that are accounted for at fair valuation.
The accrual basis of accounting has also been applied in their preparation.
(iv) Changes in Accounting policies
Council’s accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Unless otherwise stated, there have also been no changes in accounting policies when compared with previous financial statements.
(v) Critical Accounting estimates
The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates (in conformity with AASB's).
It also requires Council management to exercise their judgement in the process of applying Council’s accounting policies.
(vi) Financial Statements presentation
The Council has applied the revised AASB 101, presentation of Financial Statements which became effective on 1 January 2009.

Financial Statements 2010
The Hills Shire Council
Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 10
The revised standard requires the separate presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and a statement of changes in equity.
All non-owner changes in equity must now be presented in the statement of comprehensive income.
As a consequence, the Council had to change the presentation of its financial statements.
Comparative information has been re-presented so that it is also in conformity with the revised standard.
(b) Revenue recognition
Council recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Council’s activities as described below.
Council bases any estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Revenue is measured on major income categories as follows:
Rates, Annual Charges, Grants and Contributions
Rates, annual charges, grants and contributions (including developer contributions) are recognised as revenues when the Council obtains control over the assets comprising these receipts.
Control over assets acquired from rates and annual charges is obtained at the commencement of the rating year as it is an enforceable debt linked to the rateable property or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.
A provision for the impairment on rates receivables has not been established as unpaid rates represent a charge against the rateable property that will be recovered when the property is next sold.
Control over granted assets is normally obtained upon their receipt (or acquittal) or upon earlier notification that a grant has been secured, and is valued at their fair value at the date of transfer.
Income from Contributions is recognised when the Council either obtains control of the contribution or the right to receive it, (i) it is probable that the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the Council and (ii) the amount of the contribution can be measured reliably.
Where grants or contributions recognised as revenues during the financial year were obtained on condition that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period and those conditions were undischarged at balance date, the unused grant or contribution is disclosed in Note 3(g).
Note 3(g) also discloses the amount of unused grant or contribution from prior years that was expended on Council’s operations during the current year.
The Council has obligations to provide facilities from contribution revenues levied on developers under the provisions of S94 of the EPA Act 1979.
Whilst Council generally incorporates these amounts as part of a Development Consents Order, such developer contributions are only recognised as income upon their physical receipt by Council, due to the possibility that individual Development Consents may not be acted upon by the applicant and accordingly would not be payable to Council.
Developer contributions may only be expended for the purposes for which the contributions were required but the Council may apply contributions according to the priorities established in work schedules.
A detailed Note relating to developer contributions can be found at Note 17.
user Charges, Fees and other Income
User charges, fees and other income (including parking fees and fines) are recognised as revenue when the service has been provided, the payment is received, or when the penalty has been applied, whichever first occurs.
A provision for the impairment of these receivables is recognised when collection in full is no longer probable.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 11
A liability is recognised in respect of revenue that is reciprocal in nature to the extent that the requisite service has not been provided as at balance date.
Sale of Infrastructure, property, plant and equipment
The profit or loss on sale of an asset is determined when control of the asset has irrevocably passed to the buyer.
Interest and Rents
Rents are recognised as revenue on a proportional basis when the payment is due, the value of the payment is notified, or the payment is received, whichever first occurs.
Interest Income from Cash & Investments is accounted for using the Effective Interest method in accordance with AASB 139.
(c) principles of Consolidation
These financial statements incorporate (i) the assets and liabilities of Council and any entities (or operations) that it controls (as at 30/6/10) and (ii) all the related operating results (for the financial year ended the 30th June 2010).
The financial statements also include Council’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of any Jointly Controlled operations under the appropriate headings.
In the process of reporting on Council’s activities as a single unit, all inter-entity year end balances and reporting period transactions have been eliminated in full between Council and its controlled entities.
(i) the Consolidated Fund
In accordance with the provisions of Section 409(1) of the LGA 1993, all money and property received by Council is held in the Council’s Consolidated Fund unless it is required to be held in the Council’s Trust Fund.
The Consolidated Fund and other entities through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in the financial statements forming part of this report.
The following entities have been included as part of the Consolidated Fund:
General Purpose Operations Hills Community Care Child Care Centres
In 2009/10 Council's Section 355 Committee’s accounts have not been consolidated.
Although these Committees are a very important part of Council the total revenue and net assets are not material and therefore have not been consolidated into Council’s Financial Statements.
(ii) the trust Fund
In accordance with the provisions of Section 411 of the Local Government Act 1993 (as amended), a separate and distinct Trust Fund is maintained to account for all money and property received by the Council in trust which must be applied only for the purposes of or in accordance with the trusts relating to those monies.
Trust monies and property subject to Council’s control have been included in these statements.
Trust monies and property held by Council but not subject to the control of Council, have been excluded from these statements.
A separate statement of monies held in the Trust Fund is available for inspection at the Council office by any person free of charge.
(iii) Joint Venture entities
Jointly Controlled Assets & operations
The proportionate interests in the assets, liabilities and expenses of a Joint Venture Activity have been incorporated throughout the financial statements under the appropriate headings.
Jointly Controlled entities
Any interests in Joint Venture Entities & Partnerships are accounted for using the equity method and is carried at cost.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 12
Under the equity method, the share of the profits or losses of the partnership is recognised in the income statement, and the share of movements in retained earnings & reserves is recognised in the balance sheet.
(iv) Associated entities
Where Council has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions (of another entity), ie. where Council is deemed to have “significant influence” over the other entities operations but neither controls nor jointly controls the entity, then Council accounts for such interests using the Equity Method of Accounting – in a similar fashion to Joint Venture Entities & Partnerships.
Such entities are usually termed Associates.
(v) County Councils
Council is a member of the following County Councils (which are bodies corporate under the Local Government Act);
Hawkesbury River County Council
The governing body of each County Council is responsible for managing its own affairs.
Council is of the opinion that it neither controls nor significantly influences the above County Councils and accordingly these entities have not been consolidated or otherwise included within these financial statements.
(vi) Additional Information
Note 19 provides more information in relation to Joint Venture Entities, Associated Entities and Joint Venture Operations where applicable.
(d) leases
All Leases entered into by Council are reviewed and classified on inception date as either a Finance Lease or an Operating Lease.
Finance leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Council has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability outstanding and the recognition of a finance charge.
The interest element of the finance charge is costed to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of each leased asset’s useful life and the lease term.
operating leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Lease income from operating leases is recognised in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(e) Cash and Cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes;
cash on hand,
deposits held at call with financial institutions,
other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and
bank overdrafts.
Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet but are

incorporated into Cash & Cash Equivalents for presentation of the Cash Flow Statement.
(f) Investments and other Financial Assets
Council (in accordance with AASB 139) classifies each of its investments into one of the following categories for measurement purposes:
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
loans and receivables,
held-to-maturity investments, and
available-for-sale financial assets.
Each classification depends on the purpose/intention for which the investment was acquired & at the time it was acquired.
Management determines each Investment classification at the time of initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are “held for trading”.
A financial asset is classified in the “held for trading” category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term.
Assets in this category are primarily classified as current assets as they are primarily held for trading &/or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
(ii) loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
They arise when the Council provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention (or in some cases ability) of selling the resulting receivable.
They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Council’s management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
In contrast to the “Loans & Receivables” classification, these investments are generally quoted in an active market.
Held-to-maturity financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those with maturities less than 12 months from the reporting date, which are classified as current assets.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.
Investments must be designated as available-for-sale if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold them for the medium to long term.
Accordingly, this classification principally comprises marketable equity securities, but can include all types of financial assets that could otherwise be classified in one of the other investment categories.
They are generally included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date or the term to maturity from the reporting date is less than 12 months.
Financial Assets – Reclassification
Council may choose to reclassify a non-derivative trading financial asset out of the held-for-trading category if the financial asset is no longer held for the purpose of selling it in the near term.
Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-for-trading category only in rare circumstances arising from a

single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near term.
Council may also choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if it has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.
Reclassifications are made at fair value as of the reclassification date. Fair value becomes the new cost or amortised cost as applicable, and no reversals of fair value gains or losses recorded before reclassification date are subsequently made.
Effective interest rates for financial assets reclassified to loans and receivables and held-to-maturity categories are determined at the reclassification date. Further increases in estimates of cash flows adjust effective interest rates prospectively.
General Accounting & Measurement of Financial Instruments:
(i) Initial Recognition
Investments are initially recognised (and measured) at fair value, plus in the case of investments not at “fair value through profit or loss”, directly attributable transactions costs
Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Council commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Council has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
(ii) Subsequent Measurement
Available-for-sale financial assets and financialassets at fair value through profit and loss are subsequently carried at fair value.
loans and receivables and held-to-maturityinvestments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets classified as “fair value through profit or loss”category are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non monetary securities classified as "available-for-sale" are recognised in equity in the available-for-sale investments revaluation reserve.
When securities classified as "available-for-sale" are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.
Impairment
Council assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired.
Council does not have any impaired assets.
(iii) types of Investments
Council has an approved Investment Policy in order to undertake its investment of money in accordance with (and to comply with) Section 625 of the Local Government Act and S212 of the LG (General) Regulation 2005.
Investments are placed and managed in accordance with the Policy and having particular regard to authorised investments prescribed under the Local Government Investment Order.
Council maintains its investment Policy in compliance with the Act and ensures that it or its representatives exercise care, diligence and skill that a prudent person would exercise in investing Council funds.
Council amended its policy following revisions to the Investment Order arising from the Cole Inquiry recommendations.
Council does not hold any managed funds, CDOs, and equity linked notes.

page 15
(g) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques.
Council uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date.
Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt instruments held.
If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Council establishes fair value by using valuation techniques.
These include reference to the fair values of recent arm’s length transactions, involving the same instruments or other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer’s specific circumstances.
The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.
The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Council for similar financial instruments.
(h) Receivables
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment. Receivables (excluding Rates & Annual Charges) are generally due for settlement no more than 30 days from the date of recognition.
The collectibility of receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off in accordance with Council’s policy.
A provision for impairment (ie. an allowance account) relating to receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of each receivable.
The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate.
Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement within other expenses.
When a receivable for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against other expenses in the income statement.
(i) Inventories
Raw Materials and Stores, Work in progress and Finished Goods
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods in respect of business undertakings are all stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity.
Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories held in respect of non-business undertakings have been valued at cost subject to adjustment for loss of service potential.
land Held for Resale/Capitalisation of Borrowing Costs
Land held for resale is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is assigned by specific identification and includes the cost of acquisition, and development and borrowing costs during development.
When development is completed borrowing costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred.
Borrowing costs included in the cost of land held for resale are those costs that would have been avoided if the expenditure on the acquisition and development of the land had not been made.
Borrowing costs incurred while active development is interrupted for extended periods are recognised as expenses.
(j) Infrastructure, property, plant and equipment (I,pp&e)
Acquisition of assets
Council’s non current assets are being progressively revalued to fair value in accordance with a staged implementation as advised by the Division of Local Government.
At balance date, the following classes of I,PP&E were stated at their Fair Value;
- Investment properties – refer Note 1(p),
- operational land (External Valuation)
- Buildings – Specialised/non Specialised (Externall Valuation)
- plant and equipment (as approximated by depreciated historical cost)
- Roads Assets incl. roads, bridges & footpaths Internal Valuation
- Drainage Assets Internal Valuation
- Bulk earthworks Internal Valuation
- land under Roads-using a shire average rate
The only remaining asset class that is to revalued in a future reporting period is;
- 2010/11: Community land, land improvements, other structures and other assets
Until the designated future reporting periods, the above remaining asset class is stated at cost (or deemed cost) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Initial Recognition
On initial recognition, an assets cost is measured at its fair value, plus all expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition.
Where settlement of any part of an asset’s cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of recognition (ie. date of exchange) of the asset to arrive at fair value.
The discount rate used is the Council’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Where infrastructure, property, plant and equipment assets are acquired for no cost or for an amount other than cost, the assets are recognised in the financial statements at their fair value at acquisition date - being the amount that the asset could have been exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to Council and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Asset Revaluations (including Indexation)
In accounting for Asset Revaluations relating to Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment:
18 The hills shire CounCil finanCial reporT 2009-2010

Financial Statements 2010
The Hills Shire Council
Notes to the Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 17
Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation are credited to the asset revaluation reserve.
To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognised via the profit or loss, then increase is first recognised in profit or loss.
Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first charged against revaluation reserves directly in equity to the extent of the remaining reserve attributable to the asset, with all other decreases charged to the Income statement.
Water and sewerage network assets are indexed annually between full revaluations in accordance with the latest indices provided in the NSW Office of Water Rates Reference Manual.
For all other assets, Council assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that a revalued asset’s carrying amount may differ materially from that which would be determined if the asset were revalued at the reporting date.
If any such indication exists, Council determines the asset’s fair value and revalues the asset to that amount.
Full revaluations are undertaken for all assets on a 5 year cycle.
Capitalisation thresholds
Items of infrastructure, property, plant and equipment are not capitalised unless their cost of acquisition exceeds the following;
land - council land 100% Capitalised - open space 100% Capitalised - land under roads 100% Capitalised
plant & equipment Office Furniture > $5,000 Office Equipment > $5,000 Other Plant &Equipment > $5,000
Buildings & land Improvements Park Furniture & Equipment 100% Capitalised
Building - Construction/extensions 100% Capitalised - Renovations 100% Capitalised
Other Structures 100% Capitalised
Stormwater Assets Drains & Culverts 100% Capitalised Other 100% Capitalised
transport Assets Road construction & reconstruction 100% Capitalised Reseal/Re-sheet & major repairs: 100% Capitalised
Bridge construction & reconstruction 100% Capitalised
Depreciation
Depreciation on Council's infrastructure, property, plant and equipment assets is calculated using the straight line method in order to allocate an assets cost (net of residual values) over its estimated useful life.
Land is not depreciated.
Estimated useful lives for Council's I,PP&E include:
plant & equipment - Office Equipment expensed - Office furniture expensed - Computer Equipment expensed - Vehicles 4 years - Heavy Plant/Road Making equip. 5 years - Other plant and equipment 5 years
other equipment - Playground equipment 5 to 15 years - Benches, seats etc 10 to 20 years
Buildings - Buildings : Masonry 100 years - Buildings : Other 100 years
Stormwater Drainage - Drains 100 years - Culverts 100 years

- Road Pavements 60 years - Kerb, Gutter & Paths 40 years
other Infrastructure Assets- Bulk earthworks Infinite
All asset residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted (where appropriate), at each balance sheet date.
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 – refer Note 1(s) on Asset Impairment.
Disposal and De-recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in Council’s Income Statement in the year the asset is derecognised.
(k) land
Land (other than Land under Roads) is in accordance with Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the Local Government Act (1993) classified as either Operational or Community.
This classification of Land is disclosed in Note 9(a).
(l) land under roads
Land under roads is land under roadways and road reserves including land under footpaths, nature strips and median strips.
Council has elected to recognise land under roads acquired before 1 July 2008 in accordance with AASB 1051.
Land under roads acquired after 1 July 2008 is recognised in accordance with AASB 116 – Property, Plant and Equipment.
(m) Intangible Assets
Council has not classified any assets as Intangible.
(n) Crown Reserves
Crown Reserves under Council’s care and control are recognised as assets of the Council.
While ownership of the reserves remains with the Crown, Council retains operational control of the reserves and is responsible for their maintenance and use in accordance with the specific purposes to which the reserves are dedicated. Improvements on Crown Reserves are also recorded as assets, while maintenance costs incurred by Council and revenues relating the reserves are recognised within Council’s Income Statement.
Representations are currently being sought across State and Local Government to develop a consistent accounting treatment for Crown Reserves across both tiers of government.
(o) Rural Fire Service assets
Under section 119 of the Rural Fires Act 1997, “all fire fighting equipment purchased or constructed wholly or from money to the credit of the Fund is to be vested in the council of the area for or on behalf of which the fire fighting equipment has been purchased or constructed”.
At present, the accounting for such fire fighting equipment is not treated in a consistent manner across all Councils.
Until such time as discussions on this matter have concluded and the legislation changed, Council will continue to account for these assets as it has been doing in previous years, which is to exclude the

page 19
assets, their values and depreciation charges from these financial statements.
(p) Investment property
Investment property comprises land &/or buildings that are principally held for long-term rental yields, capital gains or both that is not occupied by Council.
Investment property is carried at fair value, representing an open-market value determined annually by external valuers.
Annual changes in the fair value of Investment Properties are recorded in the Income Statement as part of “Other Income”.
(q) provisions for close down, restoration and for environmental clean up costs –including tips and Quarries
Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs include the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure, the removal of residual materials and the remediation of disturbed areas.
Estimated close down and restoration costs are provided for in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbance occurs, whether this occurs during the development or during the operation phase, based on the net present value of estimated future costs.
Provisions for close down and restoration costs do not include any additional obligations which are expected to arise from future disturbance.
Costs are estimated on the basis of a closure plan.
The cost estimates are calculated annually during the life of the operation to reflect known developments, eg updated cost estimates and revisions to the estimated lives of operations, and are subject to formal review at regular intervals.
Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs are a normal consequence of tip and quarry operations, and the majority of close down and restoration expenditure is incurred at the end of the life of the operations.
Although the ultimate cost to be incurred is uncertain, Council estimates the respective costs based on feasibility and engineering studies using current restoration standards and techniques.
The amortisation or ‘unwinding’ of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of provisions is charged to the income statement in each accounting period.
This amortisation of the disclosed as a borrowing cost in Note 4(b).
Other movements in the provisions for Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs including those resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to the estimated lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are capitalised within property, plant and equipment.
These costs are then depreciated over the lives of the assets to which they relate.
Where rehabilitation is conducted systematically over the life of the operation, rather than at the time of closure, provision is made for the estimated outstanding continuous rehabilitation work at each balance sheet date and the cost is charged to the income statement.
Provision is made for the estimated present value of the costs of environmental clean up obligations outstanding at the balance sheet date. These costs are charged to the income statement.
Movements in the environmental clean up provisions are presented as an operating cost, except for the unwind of the discount which is shown as a borrowing cost.
Remediation procedures generally commence soon after the time the damage, remediation process and estimated remediation costs become known, but may continue for many years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the remediation techniques.
As noted above, the ultimate cost of environmental remediation is uncertain and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors including changes to the relevant legal requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other locations.

page 20
The expected timing of expenditure can also change, for example in response to changes in quarry reserves or production rates.
As a result there could be significant adjustments to the provision for close down and restoration and environmental clean up, which would affect future financial results.
Specific Information relating to Council's provisions relating to Close down, Restoration and Remediation costs can be found at Note 26.
(r) non-Current Assets (or Disposal Groups) “Held for Sale” & Discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of either (i) their carrying amount and (ii) fair value less costs to sell, if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
The exception to this is plant and motor vehicles which are turned over on a regular basis. Plant and motor vehicles are retained in Non Current Assets under the classification of Infrastructure, Property, Plant and Equipment - unless the assets are to be traded in after 30 June and the replacement assets were already purchased and accounted for as at 30 June.
For any assets or disposal groups classified as Non-Current Assets “held for sale”, an impairment loss is recognised at any time when the assets carrying value is greater than its fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets “held for sale” are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as “held for sale”.
Non-current assets classified as “held for sale” are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet. A Discontinued Operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as “held for sale” and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the income statement.
(s) Impairment of assets
All Council's I,PP&E is subject to an annual assessment of impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
For non-cash generating assets of Council such as roads, drains, public buildings etc - value in use is represented by the “deprival value” of the asset which is approximated as it’s written down replacement cost.
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill & other Intangible Assets that have an indefinite useful life and are not subject to amortisation are tested annually for impairment.
(t) payables
These amounts represent liabilities and include goods and services provided to the Council prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid.
The amounts for goods and services are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
(u) Borrowings
Council do not have any borrowings as at 30/6/2010.
(v) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are expensed.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 21
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
(w) provisions
Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and other like liabilities are recognised when:
Council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events;
it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and
the amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date.
The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.
The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
(x) employee benefits
(i) Short term obligations
Short term employee benefit obligations include liabilities for wages and salaries (including non-monetary benefits), annual leave and vesting sick
leave expected to be settled within the 12 months after the reporting period.
Leave liabilities are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date with other short term employee benefit obligations disclosed under payables..
These provisions are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
Liabilities for non vesting sick leave are recognised at the time when the leave is taken and measured at the rates paid or payable, and accordingly no Liability has been recognised in these reports.
Wages & salaries, annual leave and vesting sick leave are all classified as Current Liabilities.
(ii) other long term obligations
The liability for all long service and annual leave (which is not expected to be settled within the 12 months after the reporting period) are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
These liabilities are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made using the projected unit credit method.
Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.
Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Due to the nature of when and how Long Service Leave can be taken and transferability, all Long Service Leave has been classified as Current, as it has been deemed that Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months – even though it is not anticipated that all employees will apply for and take their leave entitlements in the next 12 months.

All employees of the Council are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death.
Council contributes to various defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans on behalf of its employees.

A liability or asset in respect of defined benefit superannuation plans would ordinarily be recognised in the balance sheet, and measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date plus unrecognised actuarial gains (less unrecognised actuarial losses) less the fair value of the superannuation fund’s assets at that date and any unrecognised past service cost.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on expected future payments which arise from membership of the fund to the reporting date, calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service.
However, when this information is not reliably available, Council can account for its obligations to defined benefit plans on the same basis as its obligations to defined contribution plans – i.e. as an expense when they become payable.
Council is party to an Industry Defined Benefit Plan under the Local Government Superannuation Scheme, named the “Local Government Superannuation Scheme – Pool B”
This Scheme has been deemed to be a “multi employer fund” for the purposes of AASB 119.
Sufficient information is not available to account for the Scheme as a defined benefit plan (in accordance with AASB 119) because the assets to the scheme are pooled together for all Councils. Accordingly, Council’s contributions to the scheme for the current reporting year have been recognised as an expense and disclosed as part of Superannuation Expenses at Note 4(a).
The Local Government Superannuation Scheme has advised member councils that, as a result of the
global financial crisis, it has a significant deficiency of assets over liabilities amounting to around $2.6 million at 30 June 2010.
As a result, they have asked for significant increases in future contributions to recover that deficiency.
Council’s share of that deficiency cannot be accurately calculated as the Scheme is a mutual arrangement where assets and liabilities are pooled together for all member councils.
For this reason, no liability for the deficiency has been recognised in these financial statements.
Council has, however, disclosed a contingent liability in note 18 to reflect the possible obligation that may arise should the Scheme require immediate payment to correct the deficiency.
Defined Contribution plans
Contributions to Defined Contribution Plans are recognised as an expense as they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
(iv) employee Benefit on-Costs
Council has recognised at year end the aggregate on-cost liabilities arising from employee benefits, and in particular those on-cost liabilities that will arise when payment of current employee benefits is made in future periods.
These amounts include Superannuation and Workers Compensation expenses which will be payable upon the future payment of certain Leave Liabilities accrued as at 30/6/10.
(y) Self insurance
Council does not self insure.
Council was in an insurance pool called Metropool but exited in October 2003.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 23
(z) Allocation between current and non-current assets & liabilities
In the determination of whether an asset or liability is classified as 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.
exceptions
In the case of liabilities where 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.
In the case of inventories that are “held for trading”, these are also classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months.
(aa) taxes
The Council is exempt from both Commonwealth Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
Council does however have to comply with both Fringe Benefits Tax and Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Goods & Services tax (GSt)
Income, expenses and assets are all recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO).
In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the revenue / expense.
Receivables and payables within the Balance Sheet are stated inclusive of any applicable GST.
The net amount of GST recoverable from or payable to the ATO is included as a current asset or current liability in the Balance Sheet.
Operating cash flows within the Cash Flow Statement are on a gross basis, ie. they are inclusive of GST where applicable.
Investing and Financing cash flows are treated on a net basis (where recoverable form the ATO), ie. they are exclusive of GST. Instead, the GST component of investing and financing activity cash flows which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from (or payable to) the ATO.
(ab) new accounting standards and uIG interpretations
Certain new (or amended) accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for reporting periods ending 30 June 2010.
Council has not adopted any of these standards early.
Council’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
Applicable to local Government with implications:
AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (effective from 1 January 2013)
AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification and measurement of financial assets and is likely to affect Council’s accounting for its financial assets.
The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption.
Council is yet to assess its full impact.
However, initial indications are that it may affect Council’s accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 24
Fair value gains and losses on available-for-sale debt investments, for example, will therefore have to be recognised directly in profit or loss.
Applicable to local Government but no implications for Council;
AASB 2009-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Group Cash-Settled Share-based Payment Transactions [AASB 2] (effective from 1 January 2010)
The amendments made by the AASB to AASB 2 confirm that an entity receiving goods or services in a group share-based payment arrangement must recognise an expense for those goods or services regardless of which entity in the group settles the transaction or whether the transaction is settled in shares or cash.
They also clarify how the group share-based payment arrangement should be measured, that is, whether it is measured as an equity- or a cash-settled transaction.
AASB 2009-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Rights Issues [AASB 132] (effective from 1 February 2010)
In October 2009 the AASB issued an amendment to AASB 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation which addresses the accounting for rights issues that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the issuer.
Provided certain conditions are met, such rights issues are now classified as equity regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. Previously, these issues had to be accounted for as derivative liabilities.
The amendment must be applied retrospectively in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
AASB 2009-14 Amendments to Australian Interpretation – Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (effective from 1 January 2011)
In December 2009, the AASB made an amendment to Interpretation 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit
Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction.
The amendment removes an unintended consequence of the interpretation related to voluntary prepayments when there is a minimum funding requirement in regard to the entity's defined benefit scheme.
It permits entities to recognise an asset for a prepayment of contributions made to cover minimum funding requirements.
Council does not make any such prepayments. The amendment is therefore not expected to have any impact on Council.
AASB Interpretation 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments and AASB 2009-13 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 19 (effective from 1 July 2010)
AASB Interpretation 19 clarifies the accounting when an entity renegotiates the terms of its debt with the result that the liability is extinguished by the debtor issuing its own equity instruments to the creditor (debt for equity swap).
It requires a gain or loss to be recognised in profit or loss which is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability and the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Applicable to local Government but not relevant to Council at this stage;
None
not applicable to local Government per se;
Revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures and AASB 2009-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards (effective from 1 January 2011)
In December 2009 the AASB issued a revised AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. It is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 and must be applied retrospectively.

page 25
The amendment removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities and clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party.
(ac) Rounding of amounts
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts in the financial statements have been rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars.
(ad) Comparative Figures
To ensure comparability with the current reporting period’s figures, some comparative period line items and amounts may have been reclassified or individually reported for the first time within these financial statements and/or the notes.
(ae) Disclaimer
Nothing contained within these statements may be taken to be an admission of any liability to any person under any circumstance.`

The Council's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeksto minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Council.
Council does not engage in transactions expressed in foreign currencies and is therefore not subject to foreigncurrency risk.
Financial risk management is carried out by Council's Finance Section under policies approved by the Council.

Fair Value is determined as follows:
- Cash & Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Payables - are estimated to be the carrying value which approximates mkt value.
- Borrowings & Held to Maturity Investments - are based upon estimated future cash flows discounted by the current market interest rates applicable to assets & liabilities with similar risk profiles, unless quoted market prices are available.
- Financial Assets classified (i) "at far value through profit & loss" or (ii) Available for Sale - are based upon quoted market prices (in active markets for identical investments) at the reporting date or independent valuation.

(a) Cash & Cash Equivalents, Financial assets "at fair value through the profit & Loss", "Available-for-sale" financial assets & "Held-to-maturity" Investments
Council's objective is to maximise its return on cash & investments whilst maintaining an adequate level ofliquidity and preserving capital.
Council's Finance Section manages it's Cash & Investments portfolio with the assistance of independentadvisors.
Council has an Investment Policy which complies with the Local Government Act & Minister's Investment Order.This Policy is regularly reviewed by Council and it's staff and an Investment Report is tabled before Council ona monthly basis setting out the portfolio breakup and its performance.
The major risk associated with Investments is price risk - the risk that the capital value of Investments mayfluctuate due to changes in market prices, whether there changes are caused by factors specific to individualfinancial instruments or their issuers or are caused by factors affecting similar instruments traded in a market.
Cash & Investments are also subject to interest rate risk - the risk that movements in interest rates could affectreturns and income.
A further risk associated with Cash & Investments is credit risk - the risk that the counterparty (to an investment)will not complete their obligations particular to a financial instrument, resulting in a financial loss to Council - beit of a capital or income nature.
Council manages these risks (amongst other measures) by diversifying its portfolio and only purchasinginvestments with high credit ratings or capital guarantees.
Council also seeks advice from independent advisers before placing any funds in Cash Equivalents &Investments.
The following represents a summary of the sensitivity of Council's Income Statement and Accumulated Surplus(during the reporting period) due to a change in either the price of a financial asset or the interest ratesapplicable.
It is assumed that the change in interest rates would have been constant throughout the reporting period.

(b) Receivables
Council's major receivables comprise (i) Rates & Annual charges and (ii) User Charges & Fees.
The major risk associated with these receivables is credit risk - the risk that debts due and payable to Councilmay not be repaid in full.
Council manages this risk by monitoring outstanding debt and employing stringent debt recovery procedures.It also encourages ratepayers to pay their rates by the due date through incentives.
Credit risk on rates and annual charges is minimised by the ability of Council to secure a charge over the landrelating to the debts - that is, the land can be sold to recover the debt. Council is also able to charge intereston overdue rates & annual charges at higher than market rates which further encourages the payment of debt.
The level of outstanding receivables is reported to Council monthly and benchmarks are set and monitored foracceptable collection performance.
Council makes suitable provision for doubtful receivables as required and carries out credit checks on mostnon-rate debtors.
There are no material receivables that have been subjected to a re-negotiation of repayment terms.
A profile of Council's receivables credit risk at balance date follows:
(i) Ageing of ReceivablesCurrent (not yet overdue)Past due by up to 30 daysPast due between 31 and 180 daysPast due between 181 and 365 daysPast due by more than 1 year
(ii) Movement in Provision for Impairment of ReceivablesBalance at the beginning of the year+ new provisions recognised during the yearBalance at the end of the year

(c) Payables & Borrowings
Payables & Borrowings are both subject to liquidity risk - the risk that insufficient funds may be on hand tomeet payment obligations as and when they fall due.
Council manages this risk by monitoring its cash flow requirements and liquidity levels and maintaining anadequate cash buffer.
As well, payment terms can (in extenuating circumstances) be extended & overdraft facilities can be drawndown.
The contractual undiscounted cash outflows (ie. principal and interest) of Council's Payables & Borrowings areset out in the Liquidity Table below:
$ '000
Trade/Other PayablesTotal Financial Liabilities
Trade/Other PayablesTotal Financial Liabilities
Borrowings are also subject to interest rate risk - the risk that movements in interest rates could adversely affectfunding costs & debt servicing requirements. Council manages this risk through the diversification of borrowingtypes, maturities & interest rate structures.
The following interest rates were applicableto Council's Borrowings at balance date:

The Hills Shire Council
Notes to the Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 16. Material Budget Variations
$ '000
Council's Original Financial Budget for 09/10 was incorporated as part of its Management Plan and wasadopted by the Council on 23rd June 2009.
While the Income Statement included in this General Purpose Financial Report must disclose the OriginalBudget adopted by Council, the Local Government Act requires Council to review its Financial Budget on aQuarterly Basis, so that it is able to manage the various variations between actuals versus budget thatinvariably occur throughout the year.
This Note sets out the details of MATERIAL VARIATIONS between Council's Original Budget and its Actualresults for the year as per the Income Statement - even though such variations may have been adjusted forduring each Quarterly Budget Review.
Material Variations represent those variances that amount to 10% or more of the original budgeted figure.
Note that for Variations: F = Favourable Budget Variation, U = Unfavourable Budget Variation
$ '000
REVENUES
Rates & Annual Charges
User Charges & Fees
Interest & Investment RevenueDue to recent increases in interest rates, sound timing of investment maturity and greater than anticipated cash flow available for investing
Other RevenuesIncreased revenue due to Investment Property fair value adjustments,increased lease income,legal expense recovery and cemetery income
Operating Grants & ContributionsIncrease mainly due to increase in Financial Assistance Grant,increase in Pensioner rebate subsidy and RTA gra
Capital Grants & Contributions
Net Gains from Disposal of AssetsReduction in profit due to lower written down values than anticipated.

Note 20. Equity - Retained Earnings and Revaluation Reserves (continued)
$ '000
c. Correction of Error/s
Council had not previously reassessed the useful lives of its Roads,Drainage,Bridges and Stormwater assets and as a result it was foundthat depreciation had been understated.
A revaluation exercise in the 2010 year identified this error and an adjustmenthas been made against the current year balances of IPPE and RetainedEarnings to correct the errors due to the impracticality of restating the prioryear comparatives.
These amounted to the following Equity Adjustments:
- Road depreciation understated- Drainage depreciation overstated

3. notes to the Special purpose Financial Statements
4. Auditor's Report
Background
These Special Purpose Financial Statements have been prepared for the use by both Council and the Division ofLocal Government in fulfilling their requirements under National Competition Policy.
The principle of competitive neutrality is based on the concept of a "level playing field" between persons/entitiescompeting in a market place, particularly between private and public sector competitors.
Essentially, the principle is that government businesses, whether Commonwealth, State or Local, should operatewithout net competitive advantages over other businesses as a result of their public ownership.
For Council, the principle of competitive neutrality & public reporting applies only to declared business activities.
These include (a) those activities classified by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as business activities beingwater supply, sewerage services, abattoirs, gas production and reticulation and (b) those activities with a turnoverof over $2 million that Council has formally declared as a Business Activity (defined as Category 1 activities).
In preparing these financial statements for Council's self classified Category 1 businesses and ABS defined activities,councils must (a) adopt a corporatisation model and (b) apply full cost attribution including tax equivalent regimepayments & debt guarantee fees (where the business benefits from councils borrowing position by comparison withcommercial rates).

Notes to the Special Purpose Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
page 6
These financial statements are a Special Purpose Financial Statements (SPFS) prepared for use by Council and the Division of Local Government.
For the purposes of these statements, the Council’s business activities (reported herein) are not reporting entities.
These special purpose financial statements, unless otherwise stated, have been prepared in accordance with;
applicable Australian Accounting Standards,
other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board,
Australian Accounting Interpretations,
the Local Government Act and Regulation, and
the Local Government Code of Accounting Practice and Financial Reporting.
The statements are also prepared on an accruals basis. They are based on historic costs and do not take into account changing money values nor current values of non-current assets (except where specifically stated).
Certain taxes and other costs (appropriately described) have been imputed for the purposes of the National Competition Policy.
national Competition policy
Council has adopted the principle of ‘competitive neutrality’ to its business activities as part of the national competition policy which is being applied throughout Australia at all levels of government.
The framework for its application is set out in the June 1996 Government Policy statement on the “Application of National Competition Policy to Local Government”.
The “Pricing & Costing for Council Businesses A Guide to Competitive Neutrality” issued by the Division of Local Government in July 1997 has also been adopted.
The pricing & costing guidelines outline the process for identifying and allocating costs to activities and provide a standard of disclosure requirements. These
disclosures are reflected in Council’s pricing and/or financial reporting systems and include taxation equivalents; council subsidies; return on investments (rate of return); and dividends paid.
Declared Business Activities
In accordance with Pricing & Costing for Council Businesses - A Guide to Competitive Neutrality, Council has declared that the following are to be considered as business activities:
Category 1
(where gross operating turnover is over $2 million)
a. Child Care Provision of Child Care Service
b. HCC Provision of Aged Care Service
Category 2
(where gross operating turnover is less than $2 million)
Council do not consider any of our other activities as Category 2 business activities.
Monetary Amounts
Amounts shown in the financial statements are in Australian currency and rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars.
(i) taxation equivalent Charges
Council is liable to pay various taxes and financial duties in undertaking it's business activities. Where this is the case, they are disclosed in these statements as a cost of operations just like all other costs.
However, where Council is exempt from paying taxes which are generally paid by private sector businesses (such as income tax), equivalent tax payments have been applied to all Council nominated business activities and are reflected in these financial statements.

Notes to the Special Purpose Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended 30 June 2010
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
page 7
For the purposes of disclosing comparative information relevant to the private sector equivalent, the following taxation equivalents have been applied to all council nominated business activities (this does not include council’s non-business activities):
notional Rate Applied %
Corporate Income Tax Rate – 30%
Land Tax – The first $376,000 of combined land values attracts 0%. From $376,001 to $2,299,000 the rate is 1.6% + $100. For the remaining combined land value that exceeds $2,299,000, a premium marginal rate of 2.0% applies.
Payroll Tax – 5.65% on the value of taxable salaries and wages in excess of $638,000.
Income tax
An income tax equivalent has been applied on the profits of the business.
Whilst income tax is not a specific cost for the purpose of pricing a good or service, it needs to be taken into account of in terms of assessing the rate of return required on capital invested.
Accordingly, the return on capital invested is set at a pre-tax level (gain/(loss) from ordinary activities before capital amounts) as would be applied by a private sector competitor – that is, it should include a provision equivalent to the corporate income tax rate, currently 30%.
Income Tax is only applied where a positive gain/(loss) from ordinary activities before capital amounts has been achieved.
Since this taxation equivalent is notional - that is, it is payable to the “Council” as the owner of business operations, it represents an internal payment and has no effect on the operations of the council. Accordingly, there is no need for disclosure of internal charges in Council's GPFS.
The rate applied of 30% is the equivalent company tax rate prevalent as at balance date. No adjustments have been made for variations that have occurred during the year.
local Government Rates & Charges
A calculation of the equivalent rates and charges payable on all Category 1 businesses has been applied to all land assets owned or exclusively used by the business activity.
loan & Debt Guarantee Fees
The debt guarantee fee is designed to ensure that council business activities face “true” commercial borrowing costs in line with private sector competitors.
In order to calculate a debt guarantee fee, council has determined what the differential borrowing rate would have been between the commercial rate and the council’s borrowing rate for its business activities.
(ii) Subsidies
Government policy requires that subsidies provided to customers and the funding of those subsidies must be explicitly disclosed.
Subsidies occur where council provides services on a less than cost recovery basis. This option is exercised on a range of services in order for council to meet its community service obligations.
Accordingly, Subsidies disclosed (in relation to National Competition Policy) represents the difference between revenue generated from ‘rate of return’ pricing and revenue generated from prices set by the council in any given financial year.
The overall effect of subsidies is contained within the Income Statement of Business Activities.
(iii) Return on Investments (Rate of Return)
The Policy statement requires that councils with Category 1 businesses “would be expected to generate a return on capital funds employed that is comparable to rates of return for private businesses operating in a similar field”.
Such funds are subsequently available for meeting commitments or financing future investment strategies.
