2014/15 Mayor’s Budget Speech
4
Today I present North Burnett Regional Council’s 2014/15 budget. The budget is presented as a responsible document to oversee the financial sustainability of Council.
Due to the economic climate that we find ourselves in, Council has made a decision to increase the general rate this year by 3% in line with inflation and utilities such as water, sewerage and cleansing will rise to cover the cost of those operations.
Whilst Council will still offer in kind contributions to groups and organisations in the Region who register with Council, as in the past year, cash grants will not be available. Though in noting this point, Council would be pleased to offer support and where possible assistance to any not-for-profit group seeking grant or external funding.
In this climate where grants and subsidies have been withdrawn by State and Federal Governments to Local Government, it is of great concern to Council to cover costs and maintain services. The recent decision by the Commonwealth Government to freeze indexation of the Federal Assistance Grant is a great concern to Council’s everywhere.
Building the future of our great region requires an investment in our community that connect local residents, businesses and visitors to the enviable lifestyle on offer here in the North Burnett Region.
Reconstruction works from the recent floods continue with the 2010/11 event fully completed and acquitted and the 2013 event 80% complete as at the end of June 2014. I am proud of the way that both the Community and Council have demonstrated resilience and have risen to the impact of these events. The following is a range of assistance offered through Council to residents within our regional area:
Concessions from General Rates
Council will, upon written application, consider the remission of whole of part of the general rate levied upon entities or organisations who meet the criteria detailed in Section 120 of the Local Government Regulation 2012.
The following is the legislative context for granting rate relief to ratepayers in which Council must comply.
119 Concession for rates or charges A local government may grant a ratepayer a concession for rates or charges for land only under this part. 120 Criteria for granting concession (1) The local government may grant the concession only if it is satisfied— (a) the land is owned or occupied by a pensioner; or (b) the land is owned by—
(i) an entity whose objects do not include making a profit; or (ii) an entity that provides assistance or encouragement for arts or cultural development; or
(c) the payment of the rates or charges will cause hardship to the land owner; or
5
(d) the concession will encourage the economic development of all or part of the local government area; or (e) the concession will encourage land that is of cultural, environmental, historic, heritage or scientific significance to the local government area to be preserved, restored or maintained; or (f) the land is used exclusively for the purpose of a single dwelling house or farming and could be used for another purpose, including, for example, a commercial or industrial purpose; or (g) the land is subject to a GHG tenure, mining tenement or petroleum tenure; or (h) the land is part of a parcel of land (a parcel) that has been subdivided and—
(i) the person who subdivided the parcel is the owner of the land; and (ii) the land is not developed land.
Drought Rates Relief:
With our Council being drought declared in March 2014, Council has made representations to the other levels of government for assistance for affected properties. Council will be also considering its own drought relief policy in the near future. I look forward to progressing this policy to assist our community and believe that the best outcome will be for the necessary rainfall to occur.
Pensioner remission:
We know that making ends meet can be challenging for those in our community who are on fixed and limited incomes. In 2014/15, 1053 pensioners will continue to receive a subsidy which is currently set at twenty percent (20%) of the applicable rates and charges up to a maximum of $200 rebate. For the 2013/14 financial year, $192,733.13 was rebated to pensioners within North Burnett Regional Council.
Discount for Prompt Payment:
I am pleased to advise Council continues to offer a discount of ten percent (10%) for prompt payment of rates. This discount applies to General Rates, Water Charges (excluding water consumption charges), Sewerage Charges, Cleaning/Garbage Charges and the Environmental Levy.
This budget allows little leeway to do any extra it only allows us to maintain what we have. However we continue to maintain contact with other levels of government and continually pursue all avenues for assistance.
Finally, I would encourage ratepayers to apply to pay rates on a weekly, monthly, quarterly instalment so then rates are virtually pre-paid when they are due. They still are eligible for discount.
I am always available to discuss the budget or any other concern. I trust all will find a place in the North Burnett, the real face of Queensland.

North Burnett Regional Council Budget 2014/2015
Responsible Officer: MJP Pitt - Chief Executive Officer Report prepared by: MJP Pitt - Chief Executive Officer Senior Executive Staff/finance staff
It is a great honour to present for consideration the seventh budget of the North Burnett Regional Council.
This year’s actual results have again demonstrated the difficulties faced by Local Authorities and the impact of both natural events and decisions by the other levels of government. Council has again kept its expenditure within budget parameters but continues to have difficulties in the revenue streams. The changes to the Federal Assistance Grant payment schedule have placed the 2013/14 into a greater deficit position than predicted. The following is a brief overview of some of the major points contained within the budget.
General Rates
North Burnett Regional Council has levied for an average 3% increase in residential general rates. The total change in the general rates received from 2013/14 to the 2014/15 financial years is expected to be 2.3%. It is estimated that Council will raise $8,440,450 million before discount from the general rate for this financial year. From changes to the estimated revenue from rates charges council expects to receive and extra $190,669 from the amount received within the 2013/14 financial year.
Looking at an average residential property within our townships, the average rise for these property owners will be 4.83% or $100 per annum. This figure is different for Monto and Mt Perry which will be 3.02% and 3.32% respectively. This is combine rate and utility figure.
There is a total of 6278 rateable parcels of land which is the same number as the 2013/14 financial year and this compares to 6,255 in the 2012/13 years, and 6253 in 2011 6,156 rateable parcels in 2010 and 6,060 in 2009.
Rates are levied according to the Council’s adopted Revenue Policy and Revenue Statement together with Council having regarded for:
(i) The needs of the Council to meet the administrative, maintenance and capital cost associated with the delivery of services, increases in development and the reasonable expectations of the community.
(ii) The state of the economy of the Local Authority, the State of Queensland and the Nation generally.
(iii) Climatic conditions and their effects upon the ratepayers and the costs of Council’s operations.

Water and Sewerage
The 2014/15 budget continues the price path model for a regional pricing system of water and sewerage as well as consolidates the uniform introduction of per parcel charging methodology for all areas with a town water supply. For the third year the water prices are consistent and on a regional basis with the water access charge levied at $515 and consumption charges of 1.55 per kilolitre.
The Council operates 7 separate water supply schemes and determines that the net cost of providing a water supply in each scheme area including operation and maintenance costs, capital costs and debt servicing costs will be fully funded by charges on those lands receiving a supply or to which a supply is deemed to be available.
In regard to the sewerage pricing path, as demonstrated in the table below full regional costing is still on track to be completed in the 2015-16 financial year.
SewerageServices

The regionalisation of the utility charges has created differential price rises with this financial year expected to be the last year this will occur. The major focus of Capital Works in this area will be on water infrastructure is also expected to be in line with Council’s 10 year asset management plan.
Waste charges have been differentiated pricing structure with basic residential and infirmed services set at $240, commercial and industrial set at $290 per service consistent across the region.
Flood Damage Losses/Impairment/Revaluation
This is the final year of the 2013 flood event restoration works. The 2010/11 flood event was finalised during the 2013/14 financial year and is now complete.
The 2013 flooding has impacted Council’s assets to an estimated value of over $100 million. This damage has shown initially as a loss in Council’s financial statements and as Council continues to repair these assets the loss will be reversed from Council’s total position and will show as a nominal Net surplus as the works are completed and finalised in the coming financial year. As at 30 June 2014 80% of restoration works have been completed.
8
It is appropriate to acknowledge the cooperation and assistance of the Queensland Reconstruction Authority and both the Queensland State Government and the Commonwealth Government for their assistance through the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) which is a jointly funded programme..
Local Disaster Levy
This council levy is different to the State Government introduced Disaster Management Levy. Council has since its inception rated for a Rural Fire Levy to assist Rural Fire Brigade units within our regional area. With changing responsibilities in disaster management, Council has now made the decision to expand this levy so that it not only encompasses the local Rural Fire Units but other emergency management areas such as the SES. This charge will be placed against all assessments within the Council.
Roads and Drainage
The road and bridge network continues to be a major focus of Council budgets. The flood reconstruction works are on track to be fully completed by December 2014.
Council will continue to utilise all external funding that is available for the road network as well as contributing significant funding from Council’s own source revenue. The total maintenance budget for urban and rural roads and bridges (excluding capital) will be $4.102 million which compares to actual expenditure (before accruals) of $4.744 million in 2013/14, $4.315 million in 2012/13 and of $5.144 million in the 2011/12 financial year.
Capital Works
Council will adopt a significant capital programme for the 2014/15 financial year of a total spend of $11.6 million with $3.98 million being sourced through external funding. A continued major area of focus is on the Roads, Streets and Drainage with an estimated $5.719 million being spent in this asset group.
Conclusion
The budget contains many strong initiatives that continue to build on the stable financial base as well as balancing the current financial environment and reduced revenue. Due to the current economic climate Council has been required to reassess the time frame for achieving a balanced position, though continued organisation improvement will be required if this position is to be not only achieved but maintained.
It is a budget that is prudent given our circumstance, and importantly reflects responsible fiscal management while still delivering excellent outcomes across the board for our community.
As in previous years, Council will maintain a tight fiscal position over the coming year with opportunities for review of the adopted budget quarterly. This will allow Council to review and contend with a continually changing and difficult financial environment.

The budget contains much more than the brief outline above. All residents are encouraged to drop into any our Council Offices or one of our libraries and to view the budget and operational plan for themselves.
This again will be a difficult year as Council strives to balance the books and the target expenditure levels set in this budget will take a strong will to meet. I am confident that Council will be able to meet the challenges before us and continue to strengthen our financial position for the short, medium and long term.
I would take this opportunity to note my thanks for the Councillors and their co-operative and positive approach that has been taken to framing this budget, the General Managers and in particular the senior finance staff for their involvement in the process and preparation of the budget document.
I commend this budget to the Council for formal acceptance.

Statutory Policy
32
http://infoxpert/docs/~D576289 2 of 4
OBJECTIVITIES:The aim of the Revenue Policy is to meet the requirements of legislation includingsection 193 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 and section 104 (5) (c) of theLocal Government Act 2009.
The policy details the transparency, simplicity, equity, fiscal responsibility, efficiencyand flexibility measures Council implements in making of rates and charges, levying ofrates and charges, recovery of rates and charges, concessions for rates and chargesand making of cost recovery fees.
PRINCIPLES:
The purpose of the policy is to identify the planning framework within which Counciloperates and to set out the principles used by Council for:
Making and levying rates and charges;Exercising its powers to grant rebates and concessions;Recovery of unpaid amounts of rates and charges; andMethods of cost recovery
Whilst observing these principles Council may apply any of the relevant provisions ofthe Local Government Act 2009 and the Local Government Regulation 2012 relating toformulating, levying, applying concessions and recovery in its system of Rates andCharges.
Policy Principles
Making and Levying Rates and ChargesIn general Council will be guided by the principle of user pays in the making ofrates and charges so as to minimise the impact of rating on the efficiency of thelocal economy.
Council will also have regard to the principles of:Transparency in the making of rates and charges;Having in place a rating regime that is simple and inexpensive toadminister;Responsibility in achieving the objectives, actions and strategies inCouncil’s Corporate and Operational Plans;Equity via a differential rating categoryFlexibility to take account of changes in the local economy, adverseseasonal conditions and extraordinary circumstances;Maintaining valuation relativities within the council;Maintaining council services to an appropriate standard;Meeting the needs and expectations of the general community; andAssessing availability of other revenue sources.
In levying rates Council will apply the principles of:Making clear what is the Council’s and each ratepayer’s responsibility tothe rating system;Making the levying system simple and inexpensive to administer;
33
http://infoxpert/docs/~D576289 3 of 4
Timing the levy of rates to take into account the financial cycle of localeconomic activity, in order to assist smooth running of the local economy;andEquity through flexible payment arrangements for ratepayers with a lowercapacity to pay.
Exercising Its Powers to Grant Rebates and ConcessionsIn considering Council’s powers to grant rebates and concessions, Council will beguided by the following principles:
Similar treatment for ratepayers with similar circumstances;Transparency by making clear the requirements necessary to receiverebates and concessions;Flexibility to allow Council to respond to local economic issues, adverseseasonal conditions and extraordinary circumstances; andFairness in considering the provision of community service rebates andconcessions.
Recovery of Unpaid Amounts of Rates and ChargesCouncil will exercise its rate recovery powers in order to reduce the overall rateburden on ratepayers. It will be guided by the following principles:
Transparency by making clear the obligations of ratepayers and theprocesses used by Council in assisting them meet their financialobligations;Making the processes used to recover outstanding rates and charges clear,simple to administer and cost effective;Equity by having regard to capacity to pay in determining appropriatearrangements for different sectors of the community;Providing the same treatment for ratepayers with similar circumstances;andFlexibility by responding where necessary to changes in the local economyand environmental conditions (including recovery from drought andfloods).
The making of Cost Recovery FeesIn making Cost Recovery Fees Council will apply the principles of:
Endeavouring to recover the full cost of the service provided for which thecost recovery fee is remitted so as to minimise the effect on ratepayers;Making the levying of cost recovery fees simple, efficient, and inexpensiveto administer in order to minimise costs;Clarity in the method of calculating the amounts payable by a user.
Developer ContributionsWhile it is expected that the developer will contribute to new physical and socialinfrastructure when they commence a new development, the amount of theircontribution and how much infrastructure they fund may vary. This will depend onmany factors and will be assessed for each development. However the process used indetermining the contribution will be transparent, fair and equitable.
34
http://infoxpert/docs/~D576289 4 of 4
Operating CapabilityThe change in operating capability of the Council is disclosed as the bottom line of theStatement of Comprehensive Income.
Council intends to progressively improve the quality of its operations to enable fundsto be available to ensure the long term maintenance of the Council’s infrastructureand ongoing financial sustainability of council. Such action is being assisted by Councilseeking alternative means of funding through grants, private works and productivityimprovements and operation of business units.

(1) A local Government must prepare and adopt a debt policy each financial year.
(2) The debt policy must state –(a) The new borrowings planned for the current financial year and the next 9
financial years; and(b) The period over which the local government plans to repay existing and new
borrowings.
OBJECTIVES:
This policy will apply whenever Council is considering borrowing funds externally. Itdoes not apply to leasing or hire purchase arrangements.
Statutory Policy
36
http://infoxpert/docs/~D610645 2 of 3
PRINCIPLES:
The purpose of the policy is to identify the planning framework within which Counciloperates and set out the principles used by Council in determining borrowingschedules.
Background and Considerations
Council recognises the desirability of establishing reserves sufficient to fund futurecapital, particularly for water and sewerage, and to use these funds when appropriateto avoid external borrowings for relatively minor acquisitions and developments.Council may, however, determine to borrow funds on the basis of immediate need, aswell as for strategic reasons and/or because it is economically advantageous to do so.
The level of debt in individual programs and in total is a matter for Council to decidefrom time to time. Due recognition will be given to:
the type and extent of benefits to be obtained from borrowing – including thelength of time the benefits will be receivedThe beneficiaries of the acquisition or developmentThe impact of interest and redemption payments on both current and forecastrates revenueThe current and future capacity of the rate base to pay for borrowings and therate of growth of the rate baseLikely movements in interest rates for variable rate borrowingsOther current and projected sources of funds such as headworksCompeting demands for funds
It is recognised that, as infrastructure such as water and sewerage are usually fundedin advance of community requirements and borrowings are repaid by future users, itsis appropriate to utilise debt to fund future infrastructure capacity. The appropriatemix of sources of funds will depend on the factors mentioned above.
Capital expenditure on general community facilities is usually funded from suchrevenue sources as general rates, special rates, grants, subsidies and borrowings.Borrowings from these developments should be limited to what can be repaid by theexisting rate base and, in general, should be over a shorter period so that current userssubstantially contribute to the debt servicing and redemption. Debt on existingfacilities should not become a burden on future generations who may not receivebenefits from these facilities. Again, the appropriate combination of debt and revenuewill depend upon the type of development and the Council’s circumstances at a time.
Scope for Borrowings
Council will only borrow funds for the purpose of acquiring assets, improving facilitiesor infrastructure and/or substantially extending their useful life.
Council may borrow to meet strategic needs or to take advantage of opportunities fordevelopment providing there is a demonstrably extending their useful life. If necessaryCouncil may borrow funds to finance special projects where funding has been
37
http://infoxpert/docs/~D610645 3 of 3
approved but the money is not yet received and Council’s working capital cash will notcover the project.
Redemption and interest charges on borrowings, including those relating to water,sewerage and plant are to be repaid from revenue generated in those areas and thefull costs are to be taken to account in these areas.
Where borrowings are to be repaid by special rates, the revenue and repayments willbe matched as far as is practical. Borrowings may be repaid early should revenueexceed scheduled repayments. Repayments will not exceed twenty per cent of generalrates revenue.
Borrowings will only be made in accordance with the adopted budget.
Borrowings from the Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) or, if from anotherorganisation, with the approval of the Queensland Treasurer and Department of LocalGovernment, Community Recovery and Resilience.
Borrowings will be for a maximum term of twenty years. Shorter borrowing periodswill be taken where possible and appropriate. The term of any loan will not exceed thelife of the asset.

In accordance with The Local Government Regulation 2012 section 198 Procurement Policy:
(1) A local government must prepare and adopt a policy about procurement (a procurement policy).
(2) The procurement policy must include details of the principles, including the sound contracting principles, that the local government will apply in the financial year for purchasing goods and services.

104 Procurement Purchasing / Statutory Policy 2 of 9
All invitations to tender for the provision of goods or services to council must specify a closing date. All tender specifications are to be vetted for:
readability; simplicity of meaning; clarity; logic; and Inclusion of only essential information. After vetting, and before issue, the specification is to be approved by the CEO. Evaluation criteria must be included in the specification. Specifications are to be registered and filed in a central location. The Chief Executive Officer may, for good cause, extend a closing date. A tender received before the closing date must be placed in a locked tender box under the control of the Chief Executive Officer or the Records Management Department. A tender box can only be opened in the presence of at least two officers of the council and, immediately after a tender box is opened, the tenders must be initialled by the two delegated officers of the council and registered within Councils Electronic Records Management System.
OBJECTIVES: To provide Council and its officers with a framework for procurement activities that ensures compliance with requirements of the Local Government Regulation 2012 and the Local Government Act 2009. PRINCIPLES: In accordance with the Local Government Regulation 2012 and the Local Government Act 2009 all Council purchases shall be determined having regard to the following principles: Open and Effective Competition Open and Effective Competition is achieved by: 1. Procurement procedures and processes being visible to Council suppliers, and
the public (i.e. rate payers and the local community) 2. Delegates accepting their accountability to the Chief Executive Officer and
Council 3. Suppliers having real opportunity to do business with Council 4. Invitations to suppliers being arranged so that there is competition among
suppliers to provide Value for Money offerings 5. Delegations, authorisations and associated financial thresholds being
appropriate for the level of judgement expected of individual officers 6. Fair and equitable assessment of all offers to Supply
43
104 Procurement Purchasing / Statutory Policy 3 of 9
Value for Money The objective of obtaining Value for Money is that the goods, equipment or services being procured represent the best return and performance for the money spent from a “total costs of ownership” or “whole-of-life costs” perspective. The result of using such an evaluation methodology to assess Value for Money may not necessarily favour the lowest price. Encouragement of Competitive Local Business and Industry Encouragement of the development of competitive local business and industry is achieved by: 1. Actively seeking out potential local supplies and suppliers 2. Encouraging prime contractors to give local suppliers every opportunity, as
partners or subcontractors, to participate in major projects 3. Ensuring that the principles of open and effective competition are applied and
equal treatment is given to local offers, when being compared with other offers, on the basis of fair and equitable behaviour
4. Giving preference to locally-sourced goods and services, where price, performance, quality, suitability and other evaluation criteria are comparable
5. Ensuring that payments are prompt and in accordance with the agreed terms of contract
6. Giving points-weighting to the advantages of buying locally-sourced goods and services, and to dealing with local suppliers, including:-
more readily available spare parts and servicing support more reliable compliance with warranty provisions shorter supply lines more convenient communications for contract administration
Ethical Behaviour and Fair Dealings Ethical Behaviour and Fair Dealing are achieved by officers: 1. Performing their duty impartially, un-influenced by the receipt or prospects of
threats, reprimands or rewards 2. Not accepting or seeking gifts or other favours 3. Not entertaining approaches from suppliers that might be interpreted as
attempts to unfairly influence the evaluation process 4. Ensuring that their private interest does not conflict with their public duties 5. Maintaining high standards of accountability 6. Developing systems and procedures that ensure a consistent approach to
procurement 7. Promoting professional procurement practices
44
104 Procurement Purchasing / Statutory Policy 4 of 9
Purchasing Arrangements In accordance with the Local Government Regulation 2012 the following purchasing arrangements may be established which allow individual purchases without the need to obtain tenders or quotations. These are: 1. Preferred supplier arrangements or standing offer arrangements; 2. Registers of pre-qualified suppliers; and 3. Under an arrangement of the Local Government Association Preferred Supplier The preferred supplier and standing offer arrangements can be used where there are frequent or regular purchases of similar items e.g. stationery. A preferred supplier arrangement would contain a pricing structure (e.g. 10 % below retail, or parts at cost plus 5 %, labour at $45.00 per hour). A standing offer would state fixed price per unit. Registers of pre-qualified suppliers can be set up where it is necessary to ensure that a supplier is capable of meeting Councils requirements before the precise nature of the requirement is known. In each case the procedure is to call tenders, by advertisement, for the particular arrangement being set up. The tenders are to be assessed in exactly the same way as single tenders. Pre-qualified Supplier A pre-qualified supplier is a supplier who has been assessed by the local government as having the technical, financial and managerial capability necessary to perform contracts on time and in accordance with agreed requirements. LGA Arrangements A local government may enter into a contract for goods and services without first inviting written quotes or tenders if the contract is entered into under an LGA arrangement. An LGA arrangement is an arrangement that— (a) has been entered into by—
(i) LGAQ Ltd.; or Note— See section 287 of the Act. (ii) a company (the associated company) registered under the Corporations
Act, if LGAQ Ltd. is its only shareholder; and (b) if LGAQ Ltd. or the associated company were a local government, would
be, either— (i) a contract with an independent supplier from a register of pre- qualified
suppliers established under section 232(3) by LGAQ Ltd. or the associated company; or
(ii) a preferred supplier arrangement entered into with an independent supplier under section 233.

104 Procurement Purchasing / Statutory Policy 5 of 9
Ethical Behaviour Council’s Code of Conduct dictates expectations of behaviour and conduct for all staff. Invitation thresholds have been set within this Policy to ensure proper controls and checks are carried out on all procurement activities. An officer shall not break down a procurement of products into its various components or reduced quantities in order to avoid the necessity of obtaining the prescribed approvals. Release of Information Procedures governing release of information will comply with the regulations set down in the Information Privacy Act and Rights to Information Act 2009. 1. Officers must not release information, including names of tenderers to any other
party, prior to the award of a tender. 2. Communications should be minimised with suppliers prior to the award of the
supply except during the course of normal daily work. 3. Information pertaining to price, technical or performance specifications must not
be discussed until after the award of the purchase/supply.
Local Preference Policy As it is Council’s intention to encourage the development of competitive local business and industry within the Council area, officers involved in procurement activities shall encourage local business to quote in competition with businesses operating outside the Council boundary. A local preference margin of 10% up to a purchase value of $50,000 (Inc GST) and 5% over a purchase value of $50,000 (Inc GST) may be applied to all offers received from businesses based within the region. When Tenders are required: Large Sized Contracts - CONTRACTS OVER $220,000 (inc GST) The Local Government Act 2009 provides that a Local Government must invite tenders before making a contract for the carrying out of work, or the supply of goods or services involving the cost of more then $220, 000 or, if a greater amount is prescribed by regulation, the greater amount. The tender must be advertised in a newspaper circulating generally in the area and must allow a minimum of twenty-one (21) days from the advertisement for the submission of tenders. The local government may enter into a contract without complying with the Local Government Act 2009 for a number of reasons. A resolution shall be made regarding this matter.
46
104 Procurement Purchasing / Statutory Policy 6 of 9
When Quotations are required: Medium Sized Contracts - CONTRACTS BETWEEN $15,000 and $220,000 (inc GST) The Local Government Act 2009 provides that a Local Government must invite written quotations before making a contract for the carrying out of work, or the supply of goods or services involving a cost of between $15,000 and $220,000 or if another range of amounts is prescribed by regulation; that range of amounts. The invitation must be given to at least 3 suppliers where possible, who the local government considers meet its requirements at a competitive price. Requisitions for such goods can be signed by an authorised Council Officer who must sight the three quotations in accordance with the officer’s delegation limit. Small Sized Contracts – CONTRACTS up to $15,000 (inc GST) The following are Council’s minimum requirements for the calling or obtaining of goods and services less than $15,000 (GST inclusive). More than $500 and Less than $5,000(inc GST) At least two (2) verbal quotations are to be invited by the Purchasing Officer and recorded in a diary. The most advantageous to Council shall be selected. Greater than $5,000 but Less than $15,000(inc GST) At least two (2) written quotations are to be invited by the Purchasing Officer. Copies of all written quotations should be attached to the requisition. The most advantageous to Council shall be selected. When making purchases of goods and services, the invitation thresholds are to be interpreted on a “per item” basis, that is, the thresholds refer to the number of quotations required before obtaining each item. However, where a number of similar items are required (ie 1000 bolts) these are considered to be an item for the purposes of obtaining a quotation. Exemptions from the Requirement to Seek Tenders or Quotations In accordance with the The Local Government Regulation 2012, a local government may enter into a medium-sized contractual arrangement or large-sized contractual arrangement without first inviting written quotes or tender if - (a) the local government resolves it is satisfied there is only 1 supplier who is
reasonably available; or (b) the local government resolves that, because of the specialised or confidential
nature of the services that are sought, it would be impractical or disadvantageous for the local government to invite quotes or tenders; or
(c) a genuine emergency exists; or (d) the contract is for the purchase of goods and is made by auction; or (e) the contract is for the purchase of second-hand goods; or (f) the contract is made with, or under an arrangement with a government agency.

Introduction
North Burnett Regional Council was created on the 15th March 2008 following the amalgamation of Monto,Eidsvold, Mundubbera, Gayndah, Perry and Biggenden Shire Councils. The North Burnett Region coversapproximately 19,700 square kilometres with the topography of the region being diverse from fertilefarmland to rugged geographical formations.
This Revenue Statement is a requirement of S104 (5)(a) of the Local Government Act 2009 (ACT). Referenceto sections means sections of the LGA 2009 or Local Government Regulation 2012.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Revenue Statement is:
To enunciate the methods used to achieve Council’s objectives set out in the Revenue Policy;
to explain material matters that guide the development and implementation of revenue practiceswithin the Council; and
to comply in all respects with legislative requirements.
LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR REVENUE STATEMENT
In outlining its Revenue Statement, the Council will adhere to specific legislative requirements for thecontent of the Revenue Statement.
The Revenue Statement must comply with the following requirements of the Local Government Act 2009:
Sec 104 Financial management systems
(5) The system of financial management established by a local government must include—(a) the following financial planning documents prepared for the local government—
(i) a 5 year corporate plan that incorporates community engagement;(ii) a long term asset management plan;(iii) a long term financial forecast;(iv) an annual budget including revenue statement;(v) an annual operational plan; and
(b) the following financial accountability documents prepared for the local government—(i) general purpose financial statements;(ii) asset registers;(iii) an annual report;(iv) a report on the results of an annual review of the implementation of the annual operation plan; and
(c) the following financial policies of the local government—(i) investment policy(ii) debt policy(iii) revenue policy
(6)A local government must ensure the financial policies of the local government are regularly reviewed andupdated as necessary
(7) A local government must carry out a review of the implementation of the annual operational plan annually.

REVENUE RAISING MEASURES
Revenue in the 2014/15 budget is comprised of rates and charges imposed by the Council; Commonwealthand State Government grants and subsidies for operational work and capital projects; developercontributions for operational work and capital projects; external works reimbursement and othermiscellaneous income.
Council's estimated revenue for the forthcoming year is:Set at a level which considers Council’s Corporate Objectives; andset at a level which considers the current economic climate; andset at a level which considers the services which are to be provided to the community; andset at a level which is considered fair and equitable.
From the changes to the estimated revenue from Rates and Utility charges council expects to receive anadditional $557,853 from the amount received within the 2013 2014 financial year.
DIFFERENTIAL GENERAL RATES
Differential General Rates are levied to contribute toward the provision of all local government servicesexcluding sewerage collection and disposal, water supply, treatment and distribution and refuse collectionand disposal provided that any shortfalls in funds for the excluded services may also be covered by thedifferential general rates.
The rationale for the differing categories is to recognise the different levels of facilities and servicesprovided to the differing classes of land and the occupiers of these classes of land.
A greater variety of services are provided within Urban areas however services for Rural Land may be at anincreased cost on a per premises basis due to the long distances involved with provision of these services.Rural Residential Land being generally located in the vicinity of Urban areas and having a higher populationdensity than Rural land places a higher demand on urban facilities along with higher expectations ofservices.
The Council has determined that the basis for applying differential general rates will be on one or more ofthe following criteria:
The unimproved capital valuation (UCV),the land use code (LUC);assessment land area;animal numbers;tonnes of material extracted;number of people employed.
59
This approach provides the best available equitable basis of distributing the differential rating burdenwithin the Urban, Rural, Rural lifestyle, Commercial and Industrial categories incorporating the twin aspectsof area of land utilised by the ratepayer and the relative ability of land to generate revenue sufficient to payfor services provided.
Petroleum, Mining and Electricity generation uses are also separately categorised as they are generally overrural land and, by their nature, may result in much higher returns than rural land and generally exist for ashorter period. They place a much higher demand on existing urban and rural facilities and create ademand for new and improved services by nature of the increased number of persons employed directlyand indirectly and expectations that facilities and services are available at a high standard at all timesirrespective of weather or other circumstances.
Intensive Accommodation uses are also separately categorised as they also place a much higher demand onexisting facilities and create a demand for new and improved services by nature of the increased number ofpersons resident, whether permanently or temporarily, and their expectations that facilities and servicesare available at a high standard at all times irrespective of weather or other circumstances.
So far as mining and mining related activities are concerned, the Council, aware of impacts on otherCouncils affected by mining and mining related facilities, has paid particular attention to the need tocarefully consider the impacts that these particular land uses are having on the ability of Council to deliverdesired levels of service to the community.
These impacts include:
1 The increase in Council’s wage costs in an endeavour to compete (in a limited labour market) withhigh mine incomes;
2 Increased staff turnover;
3 Accommodation difficulties in terms of both availability and affordability;
4 Increased use leading to more rapid deterioration of public infrastructure;
5 The need for additional health, environmental, planning and community development services.
In addition, not only do the mines generate additional full time equivalent resident population through themine workforce, they also generate other visitors to the area such as contractors servicing machinery andequipment. Further, significant mining activity (and higher personal incomes) results in reduced FederalAssistance Grants because of the assumed additional revenue capacity of the Region (which only exists inreality if a significant rate levy is applied to mining activity).
In arriving at the different rating categories for mining (and mining related activities), petroleum (andpetroleum related activities) and electricity generation, Council has considered the following issues:
There is no consistency in the unimproved valuation of total parcels involved in a mine, gas field orpower station operation and size of the operation (and impact on the Council). This makes it verydifficult to rely solely on valuation to spread the general rate burden in an equitable manner. Valuations(for mining, in particular) tend to reflect the primary industry nature of the land holding (eg whether ingood cattle country or not) and the historic nature of the subdivision size in the area.
60
The number of rateable parcels making up one mining operation varies significantly. In some cases alarge mine may have only one rateable assessment while in other cases there may be four or moreseparate parcels under the one mine operation and associated activity.
Accordingly, so far as mining activities are concerned, Council will adopt a system of categorisation usingmine employment figures to split mines into a number of categories. Council will reference theDepartment of Natural Resources and Mines publication as an independent verification of the applicableemployment levels used. Mine related accommodation facilities will also be particularly categorised, basedon the number of accommodation units provided.
For petroleum activities, the Council will adopt a system of categorisation using the area of the petroleumlease or parcel of land to separate petroleum leases and other petroleum use land into a number ofcategories. So far as electricity generation activities are concerned, Council will adopt a system ofcategorisation using the type of power station (coal, gas or other) and the output capacity of the powerstation to separate power stations into a number of categories.
MINIMUM DIFFERENTIAL GENERAL RATES
A minimum general rate is applied to each category to recognise that there is a base level of servicesapplicable to each rateable parcel of land within each category.
A subjective measure of this level is used to determine the minimum rate for each category of differentialgeneral rate.
In determining if a minimum differential general rate is to be applied, the applicable rate in the $ for thecategory is to be applied to the UCV of the rateable property and the result of the calculation is to becompared to the applicable minimum rate for that category. The effective rate charged will be the higherof the two amounts.
Differential General rates will be levied for the North Burnett Regional Council in the following ways:
