Yarra Ranges Council Budget – 2017-18
114
Message from Mayor and Councillors We are pleased to release the proposed 2017-18 Budget to the Community for comment and public submissions. This budget supports the vision in the 2017-2021 Council Plan, which focuses on the following five key areas:
Connected and Healthy Communities Quality Infrastructure and Liveable Places Protected and Enhanced Natural Environment Vibrant Economy, Agriculture and Tourism High Performing Organisation
The 2017-2021 Council Plan (Year 1) sets out our strategic direction to deliver our vision over the full term of the Council. As this is the first year of the current Council term, the focus over the next year will be planning and design activities to deliver current commitments. The proposed budget details the resources required over the next year to fund the large range of services we provide to the community. It also includes details of our proposed capital expenditure program to improve and renew our Council’s physical infrastructure, buildings and operational assets. As Councillors, it is our job to listen to you, our community and understand your priorities. During and following the Council elections in 2016, we have consistently heard that Council’s services are valued by the community, and that Council also needs to be financially responsible and keep its rates as low as possible. In response, Council has continued its approach to identify savings and efficiencies with minimal impact on its services and to provide increased value for money to ratepayers. We remain committed to this approach to ensure we can continue to deliver high quality, responsive and accessible services to the community. This budget proposes a rate increase of 2.0 per cent. This is in line with the State Government’s new Fair Go Rates System (FGRS) which has capped rate increases by Victorian councils. Once again Council has not elected to apply to the Essential Services Commission (ESC) for a variation on the rate cap. Ongoing operational savings and efficiencies of $1.4million in 2016-17 to date has enabled us to reduce rate increases from the planned 3.9 per cent to the proposed 2.0 per cent increase. Council has also identified a number of significant and unexpected cost and revenue impacts during the budget process which it has had to fund. These include:
Loss of revenue for three years (2014-15 to 2016-17) due to freeze on indexation of the federal financial assistance grant. Although the freeze has now been removed this is a permanent loss of revenue. the reduction of the real value of specific purpose grants and funding from the State and Federal Government which means it does not keep pace with the cost of providing services such as Maternal and Child Health services, Home and Community Care, Long Day Care and Library services. the effects of cost shifting the delivery of key services by the Federal and State Government onto Local government. the need for significant investment in our ageing infrastructure to meet the expectations of the community with many buildings built 40 to 50 years ago. Ensuring our ageing population continues to receive high standards of care as changes to the service delivery and funding model are implemented.
To ease the impact on ratepayers and ensure users help pay for Council services, we are proposing to increase most user fees and charges by 2.0 per cent, in line with projected inflation. Again we are committed to reducing the burden on pensioners and concession card holders by freezing the increase of fees and charges where possible, for these members of our community. Yarra Ranges Council Budget – 2017-18

The total capital works program of the proposed budget is $57.54 million (includes $11.23 million worth of projects carried forward from 2016-17). Of this, $48.54 million is allocated for asset renewals, upgrades and expansions and $9 million for new assets. Highlights of the capital program include:
Roads ($15.62 million) – resealing and resurfacing, upgrades and improvements, shoulder reconstructions, sealed road patching, and special charge schemes. Drains ($3.32 million) – including drainage and rehabilitation works. Footpaths and cycleways ($3.67 million) – footpath improvements including footpath links at Monbulk Regional Soccer Centre, Gembrook-Launching Place Road (Launching Place), Healesville-Yarra Glen Road (Healesville), Drummond Road – Warburton Highway (Seville), Badger Creek Road (Healesville) and Hike and Bike Strategy Review. Recreational, leisure and community facilities ($2.48 million) – Including Kiloran Park Tennis Courts (Kilsyth), Sports Reserve Lighting projects and Sports Reserve Rehabilitations. Off Street Car Parks ($1.08 million) – including Burrinja Cultural Centre (Upwey), Warburton Rail Trail (Warburton) and Morrisons Reserve (Mount Evelyn). Parks, open space and streetscapes ($6.91 million) – including Yarra Valley Trail Link Design, Coldstream-Melba Connection, Queens Park Playground (Healesville), Pinks Reserve Water Harvesting System (Kilsyth), Memorial Reserve (Kalorama), Trail Rehabilitation Projects, Township improvements, and playground and park furniture renewal. Buildings and Building Improvements ($17.44 million) – including Belgrave Multi Purpose Health Hub, Community Sports Pavilion Upwey, Community Sports Pavilion (Belgrave South), Community Sport Pavilion - detailed design (Monbulk), Civic Centre Redevelopment and community building renewal works. Plant and equipment ($4.76 million) – including information technology, and scheduled replacement of Council’s plant and fleet.
Council has continued to reduce costs and achieve savings and efficiencies through service reviews of Council’s core functions, resulting in savings of around $1.4 million including salaries and wages. Our focus for the next year is to continue to deliver on the projects and services that make our municipality a great place to live in and respond to the challenges we are currently facing. Council will continue to concentrate on the identification of sustainable cost reductions to protect existing service levels. We will also explore new approaches for providing services to our community in a tighter financial environment and ensure that we engage with you on any planned changes. The proposed budget was developed through a rigorous process of consultation and review and Council endorses it as financially responsible. We have always been committed to ensuring you as a rate payer get the best value for your money. We encourage you to read the remainder of this document, in conjunction with our 2017-2021 Council Plan and look forward to receiving your submission.
Councillor Noel Cliff Mayor

Executive summary Council has prepared a Budget for 2017-18 which is aligned to the vision in the 2017-2021 Council Plan. It seeks to maintain and improve services and infrastructure as well as deliver projects and services that are valued by our community, and to do this within the rate increase mandated by the State Government. This Budget projects a surplus of $20.05 million for 2017-18, however, it should be noted that the adjusted underlying result is a surplus of $15.75 million which does not include non-recurrent items such as capital grants and contributions (refer Sections 5 and 10.1). It should also be noted that this is not a cash surplus, it is the book result. For an analysis of the net increases and decreases in Council’s cash, please see the Statement of Cash Flows in Section 3. 1. Key things we are funding a. Ongoing delivery of services to the Yarra Ranges community funded by a budget of $83.54 million. These services are summarised in Section 2. b. Continued investment in community infrastructure assets ($34.53 million) primarily for renewal works. This includes roads ($15.62 million); footpaths and cycleways ($3.67 million); drainage ($3.32 million); recreational, leisure and community facilities ($2.48 million); parks, open space and streetscapes ($6.91 million); and off street car parks and other infrastructure ($2.08 million). The Statement of Capital Works can be found in Section 3 and further details on the capital works budget can be found in Sections 6 and 12.

Implement a new way of working within an activity-based working environment through our Flexible Future project, to build organisational capability, improve our responsiveness and our adaptability in a changing environment. q. Deliver opportunities for collaborative procurement and shared service arrangements with regional Councils to deliver value for money to ratepayers.
2. The Rate Rise a. The average rate will rise by 2.0% in line with the State Government’s Fair Go Rates System which was introduced in 2016-17. b. Key drivers i. To fund ongoing service delivery – business as usual (balanced with greater service demands from residents); ii. To fund renewal of infrastructure and community assets such as roads, footpaths and drains; iii. To respond to a growth in the Municipality (average annual growth of 0.61%); iv. To cope with cost shifting from the Commonwealth and State Government (refer Paragraph 9); c. This is not a revaluation year. Valuations will be as per the General Revaluation dated 1 January 2016 (as amended by supplementary valuations). d. The standard waste service charge for kerbside collection will increase by 1.97% ($4.00) per property while the charge for additional recycling services will increase by 15.79% ($3.00) as a result of a budgeted decrease in revenue from sale of recyclable material. (The Waste service charge is outside the Essential Services Commission’s rate capping framework and has been calculated based on a full cost recovery model). e. Councils across Australia raise approximately 3.5% of the total taxation collected by all levels of Government in Australia. Money collected from rates is predominantly re-invested to benefit the local community. f. Refer Section 7 for further Rates and Charges details. 3. Key Statistics a. Total Revenue b. Total Expenditure -

The chart below provides an indication of how Council allocates its expenditure across the main capital works projects that it delivers. It shows how much is allocated to each asset area for every $100 that Council spends.
CAPITAL WORKS PROGRAM PER $100 SPENT Off street car parks Parks, open space $1.88 and streetscapes $11.61
Other infrastructure $1.86
Recreational, leisure and community facilities $4.70
Buildings $31.71
Drainage $5.77
Footpaths and cycleways $6.37 Bridges $0.68 Plant and equipment $8.28 Roads $27.14
Compared to the 2016-17 forecast, the $100 spend for the 2017-18 Capital Works Program has increased for Roads by $3.96 or 17% (2016-17 forecast: $23.18), Footpaths by $1 or 19% (2016-17 forecast: 5.37) and Drainage by $0.18 or 3% (2016-17 forecast: $5.59). 5. Budget Influences Budget implications As a result of Yarra Ranges’ demographic profile there are a number of budget implications in the short and long term as follows: 2
a. Yarra Ranges covers approximately 2500 km , which significantly increases transport costs when compared to metropolitan Councils, resulting in higher costs for services. b. More than 18% of ratepayers are entitled to the pensioner rebate. As pensioners are often asset rich but income poor, the adoption of rate increases has an impact on the disposable income of a significant proportion of our community. Council has hardship provisions in place but these can impact on cash balances when large volumes of ratepayers are involved. c. While the municipality is not substantially developed, it is only experiencing very low growth in rateable properties. Costs include the replacement of infrastructure such as roads and drains, paid for through rates. The rates received from the low level of new dwellings do not offset the significant infrastructure renewal costs still required.
Yarra Ranges Council Budget – 2017-18

External Influences The preparation of the budget is influenced by the following external factors: a. The Victorian State Government has introduced a cap on rate increases from 2016-17. The cap for 2017-18 has been set at 2.0% (2016-17: 2.5%). b. State-wide Consumer Price Index (CPI) is forecast to be 2.0% for the 2017-18 year (Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance 2016-17 Budget Update). The Local Government Cost Index calculated by the Municipal Association of Victoria (using a combination of construction, materials and wages indices to measure the sector’s expenditure profile) has consistently shown that costs continue to rise faster than CPI. c.
The Victorian Wage Price Index is projected to be 2.5% in 2017-18 (Victorian Department of Treasury and Finance 2016-17 Budget Update).
d. Reduction of $0.5 million in Victorian Grants Commission funding in the 2016-17 year compared to the previous year. In addition, the cumulative impact of the non-indexation of the Victorian Grants Commission (VGC) funding since 2014-15 has amounted to $6.20 million. e. Receipt of capital works funding of $3.37 million for the completion of the Roads to Recovery projects and $2.73 million from the Commonwealth Government for the construction of a multi purpose hub in Belgrave and community sports pavilions in Belgrave South and Upwey. f.
Anticipated increase of 2.0% (or $1.24 per tonne) in the levy payable to the State Government upon disposal of waste into landfill, resulting in additional waste tipping costs of $0.20 million. The levy has increased from $9 per tonne in 2008-09 to a forecast $63.27 per tonne in 201718 (703% increase in 9 years) and has added significantly to Council's waste costs.
g. Cost shifting where Local Government provides a service to the community on behalf of the State and Federal Government. Over time the funds received by local governments do not increase in line with real cost increases. h. Councils across Australia raise approximately 3.5% of the total taxation collected by all levels of Government in Australia. In addition, Councils are entrusted with the maintenance of more than 30% of the all Australian public assets including roads, bridges, parks, footpaths and public buildings. This means that a large proportion of Council’s income must be allocated to the maintenance and replacement of these valuable public assets in order to ensure the quality of public infrastructure is maintained at satisfactory levels. i.
The Fire Services Property Levy will continue to be collected by Council through the property rating process on behalf of the State Government with the introduction of the Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012. Prior to 2013, this levy was collected through insurance premiums. The levy is calculated through a fixed charge component ($105 for residential and $213 for non-residential properties in 2016-17) per year as well as a variable cost component. The variable component which is calculated depending on the land use and the capital improved value. Council is yet to be advised of the charges for 2017-18. The money collected is passed on to the State Revenue Office at the end of each quarter.
Internal Influences As well as external influences, there are also a number of internal influences which are expected to have a significant impact on the preparation of the 2017-18 Budget. These matters have arisen from events occurring in the 2016-17 year resulting in variances between the forecast actual and budgeted results for that year and matters expected to arise in the 2017-18 year. These matters and their financial impact are set out below: a. Savings in salaries and wages of $0.89 million as a result of service reviews of Council’s core functions which resulted in several disestablished positions. In addition, Council’s Enterprise Agreement (EA) has been negotiated at 2.5% instead of 3.4% as forecasted previously. b. Projected savings of $0.3 million achieved as a result of Council’s decision to outsource the depot workshop. c. Ongoing savings of $0.2 million achieved to date as a result of collaborative procurement initiatives. Yarra Ranges Council Budget – 2017-18
8
d. Additional cost of $0.6 million for the disposal of material collected through drainage cleaning due to the closure of Coldstream Landfill. e. Lower borrowing costs as a result of Council not borrowing the budgeted $7 million in 201617 due to unexpected delays in the delivery of various capital works projects. This is now budgeted to be borrowed in later years. 6. Budget principles In response to these influences, guidelines were prepared and distributed to all Council officers with budget responsibilities. The guidelines set out the key budget principles upon which the officers were to prepare their budgets. The principles included: a. Existing user fees and charges to be increased by 2.0%. b. Grants to be based on confirmed funding levels. c. New revenue sources to be identified where possible. d. Service levels to be maintained at 2017-18 levels with the aim to use lower resources with an emphasis on innovation to achieve savings and efficiencies. e. Salaries and wages to be increased in line with Council’s current Enterprise Agreement. f. Salaries and wages have been calculated according to Council’s establishment register which includes vacant positions and as a result the budget for contract labour has been minimised. g. Construction and material costs to increase in line with scoping requirements. h. Real savings in expenditure and increases in revenue identified in 2017-18 to be preserved and utilised towards meeting the rate cap gap. i. Operating revenues and expenses arising from completed 2017-18 capital projects to be included. 7. Long term strategies The budget includes consideration of a number of long term strategies and contextual information to assist Council to prepare the Budget in a proper financial management context. These include a Strategic Resource Plan for 2017-18 to 2020-21 (Section 14), Rating Information (Section 15) and other Long Term Strategies (Section 16) including borrowings, infrastructure and service delivery. 8. Federal & State Government advocacy Council’s advocacy priorities are principally derived from priorities identified by Councillors based on community input and Council and State Government Community Satisfaction Survey results. . Yarra Ranges Council’s highest priorities are for improved funding for rural roads, recreation reserve and cultural facility upgrades, development of sub regional walking and cycling infrastructure and more practical State Government policy on issues such as native vegetation controls. 9. Cost Shifting Cost shifting occurs when Commonwealth and State Government programs transfer responsibilities to Local Government with insufficient funds or grants which don’t keep pace with delivery costs. Over the years Council has had to absorb several costs and provide additional services. Examples include services such as the library service, administration of the Street Trader permits and the Fire Services Levy.

1. Link to the Council Plan This section describes how the Annual Budget links to the achievement of the Council Plan within an overall planning and reporting framework. This framework guides the Council in identifying community needs and aspirations over the long term (Vision 2036), medium term (Council Plan) and short term (Annual Budget) and then holding itself accountable (Annual Report).
1.1 Planning and accountability framework The Strategic Resource Plan, part of and prepared in conjunction with the Council Plan, is a rolling four year plan that outlines the financial and non-financial resources that Council requires to achieve the strategic objectives described in the Council Plan. The Annual Budget is framed within the Strategic Resource Plan, taking into account the services and initiatives which contribute to achieving the strategic objectives specified in the Council Plan. The diagram below depicts the planning and accountability framework that applies to Local Government in Victoria.
Source: Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning
In addition to the above, Council has a long term plan (Vision 2036) which articulates a community vision, mission and values. The Council Plan is prepared with reference to Council's long term community plan. The timing of each component of the planning framework is critical to the successful achievement of the planned outcomes. The Council Plan, including the Strategic Resource Plan, is required to be completed by 30 June following a general election and is reviewed each year in advance of the commencement of the Annual Budget process.
