FNQROC MEETING

10 OCTOBER 2016

B66

Paper: Understanding The Region’s Infrastructure Renewal Gap

Steven Cosatto – Doc#5154483

Background

Councils control and manage infrastructure assets that are largely unique to the public sector. These infrastructure assets include roads, bridges, footpaths, water reticulation and sewerage assets, which generally have very long useful lives and can only be used for providing local government services. The costs associated with the maintenance, depreciation and replacement of these assets form a material part of Councils’ annual expenditure and long term financial forecasts.

Tasking

In July 2012, Mayors and CEOs developed the “FNQROC Strategic Directions” document 2012-20171.

This document was endorsed at the FNQROC Board meeting on 8 October 20122

The workshop identified the Board’s highest priority as understanding the Region’s infrastructure funding renewal gap. In addressing the infrastructure funding renewal gap it identified two vital areas that the FNQROC Board needed to have substantiated: 1. What is our infrastructure funding renewal gap in the next five, 10 and 20 years? and 2. What is Councils’ capacity to raise revenue to meet this infrastructure funding renewal gap? To answer the first question regarding the region’s infrastructure funding renewal gap, it was decided that the FNQROC Regional Asset Management Group (RAMG) was best placed to undertake this review and report back to the FNQROC Board, as per Action Item 2.1.1, to develop:

1 FNQROC Strategic Directions 2012-2017 2 FNQROC Minutes No. 97 - 8 October 2012 - Item 1709

1. INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING RENEWAL GAP A regional document which clearly articulates our funding renewal gap in the next five, 10 and 20 years and can be used as a technical document to substantiate advocacy efforts of the FNQROC Board and Councils individually.3 (FNQROC lead = Regional Infrastructure Project Coordinator with support from the FNQROC Executive Officer) 2. REVENUE RAISING CAPACITY A regional document which clearly articulates our capacity to raise revenue which can be used as a technical document to support advocacy efforts (i.e. asset renewal gap, devolved responsibilities etc) of the FNQROC Board and Councils individually. This is also a document that can be utilised by our regional peak bodies for their advocacy efforts.

4

(FNQROC lead = FNQROC Executive Officer)

To answer the second question regarding Councils’ capacity to raise revenue, it was envisaged that FNQROC would need to engage a consultant; the resulting document could be used for a number of initiatives as a region, and also by individual Councils, e.g. to substantiate Councils’ inability to resource devolved responsibilities, funding applications etc, as per Action Item 2.1.2, to develop:

It was the intent that both actions be considered at the regional level so as to not cause any issues to any individual Council. It is noted that a number of Councils have undertaken an assessment on their communities’ capacity to pay for services.

Actions To Date

RAMG undertook research, benchmarking and workshops in order to understand the region’s infrastructure renewal challenges. The group:

1) Developed a Regional Asset Benchmarking document containing member Councils’ asset lives and residual values for major transport, water and waste water assets.

5

2) Conducted a “Sustainable Service Delivery Challenges and Opportunities” Workshop with Jeff Roorda and Associates (JRA).6 JRA developed the initial FNQROC Regional Asset Management Strategy in 2008. JRA provided comment on their recent work involving Federal and State Asset Management projects.

3) Workshopped an Issues Paper at RAMG meeting No. 28, November 20157, including: o How councils are meeting their Asset Management (AM) challenges. o Identification of issues associated with a conducting a regional AM analysis. o Section 169(5) of the Local Government Regulations 2012 outlines the three

relevant measures of financial sustainability which all Queensland local governments have to report on in their annual budgets:

Operating Surplus Ratio, Net Financial Liabilities Ratio and Asset Sustainability Ratio.

Long term regional financial sustainability.

Development and ongoing use of asset management plans are aides in financially sustainable local governments. They provide a basis for the maintenance, renewal and construction of new and existing infrastructure for local government. Long-term financial forecasts and all three ratio’s are used as guides to indicate the ongoing financial viability of the local government. Section 169(5) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 outlines the three relevant measures of financial sustainability for all Queensland local governments which have to report on in their annual budgets. The Operating Surplus, Net Financial Liabilities and Asset Sustainability ratios are designed to provide an indication of the performance of Council against key financial sustainability criteria which should be met to ensure the prudent management of financial risks and are used as guides to indicate the ongoing financial viability of the local government.8

The below tables identify that as a region, collectively we are meeting two of the three benchmarks. We are unable to ascertain what the Asset Sustainability ratio would have been without NDRRA.9

1. Operating Surplus Ratio

Table 1 - Operating Surplus Ratio

8 Financial Management (Sustainability) Guideline 2013 Version 1.1, Dept of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DILGP). 9 NDRRA - Following significant weather events Councils restore essential assets. The funding of this restoration is not identified in their annual financial records. This results in a misleading view of the region’s asset sustainability analysis, with subsequent effects on long term planning and asset ownership.

Figure 6– Average Asset Sustainability 2010 – 2015 for FNQROC Region

Source: LGAQ – Better Communities, Performance Benchmarking

This ratio has been affected by significant weather events and the subsequent renewal of assets through NDRRA funding. This is evidenced in the ranges shown in Figure 5 and the high averages in Figure 6 between from the 2011 through to the 2016 financial years. This data will continue to affect any regional analysis until the 2018 financial year. History has shown that the region can expect regular significant weather events, which could continue to distort this ratio. It should be noted that Federal and State government support after an event is critical to local government. Future Federal and consequently State financial support after an event is yet to be clarified as a consequence of the Productivity Commissions review into Natural Disaster Funding.

Issues Associated With Conducting a Regional Analysis

In the course of their activities, the RAMG identified a range of issues that hampered efforts to quantify the region’s infrastructure funding renewal gap. Some of the major issues identified included:

16


Page 7 of 9

Variability between Councils, including: o Differing revenue, expenditure and debt levels, o Differing asset lives and the effects of their depreciation amounts,

For example, bitumen reseals. Regionally there is a minimum asset life of 10 years, a maximum of 40 years and a median useful life of 12-15 years.

o Differing valuation methodologies utilised (internally/externally), For example, an external consultant has provided differing valuations for the

same category of asset (water assets for CRC, CCRC, Cook and Douglas). 10 o Varying levels of confidence in long term plans and forecasts such as Capital

Expenditure (Cap Ex) and Asset Management Plans (AMPs), ie high confidence in years 1 to 3, decreasing in confidence from years 3 to 10.

o High variance between Councils on the value of assets per capita. See table 4

Influence of significant weather events. Through Natural Disaster Recovery Relief

Arrangements (NDRRA), Federal and State Governments provide significant financial contribution to the restoration of assets, skewing the Asset Sustainability Ratio. Refer Asset Sustainability Ratio, Figures 5 and 6.

The difficulty in comparing Councils within a region, for example, Coastal Provincial (eg Cairns), Rural Regional (eg Cassowary), Rural Remote (eg Cook) and Indigenous (eg Wujal Wujal).

Regular changes to funding from State and Federal (up and down) influence Councils’ ability to plan long term expenditure.

The RAMG believes the issues and anomalies that have been identified would influence the overall analysis for the region. The effect of the region’s broad mix of Councils means that an analysis of the infrastructure funding gap at a regional level could not be considered a true reflection of the region as a whole – the figures will always be skewed by the larger councils.

Conclusion

The RAMG undertook to develop a document that would articulate the region’s infrastructure funding renewal gap with the aim of substantiating advocacy efforts of the FNQROC Board and member Councils. Through the research process, it became evident that a range of issues combined to prevent the group from accurately quantifying the region’s infrastructure funding renewal gap. This presented significant barriers to the production of a viable document that could be utilised for advocacy purposes.

The process did identify a number of positive developments in Asset Management across the region. With the Local Government sector facing increasing financial challenges, member Councils have endeavored to strike a suitable balance between their current priorities and long term financial sustainability responsibilities.

Councils are taking a proactive approach to the management of their assets and are meeting the challenges of long term financial sustainability in a variety of ways, including:

Focusing on best value for money for ratepayers (return on investment),

Considering whole-of-life costing (asset sustainability),

Accepting a degree of additional risk,

Understanding the cost of services and balancing these with the communities capacity and willingness to pay,

Gaining improved knowledge of LGs assets and service levels across the state,

Reviewing financial expenditure and long term financial plans in relation to maintenance, renewal and capital expenditure of assets and where appropriate, pushing back non-essential expenditure.

The creation of the Benchmarking Tool and the workshopping opportunities made available through this process have raised the level of awareness of Asset Management developments within the region.

Practitioners are now better placed to consider infrastructure implications in their purchasing and asset management programs.

It is recognised that funding of essential local government infrastructure requires long term investment and planning. The Regional Asset Management technical committee is keen to continue to work collaboratively to:

a) Share knowledge and experiences to keep abreast of current technologies and projects relating to Asset Management to ensure timely awareness of emerging issues and opportunities.

b) Promoting and supporting professional development among staff within the region.

c) Keep abreast of proposed legislative and Australian Accounting Standard Board (AASB) changes and the impacts that those changes have on LGs.

d) Identifying, creating and pursuing opportunities for cross local government (and other agencies and industry) alignment and coordination in service delivery.

e) Review the FNQ Regional Asset Management Strategy (Infrastructure Asset Management and Service Delivery).

f) Ensure data relevance within the Asset Management Benchmarking Tool through continual review.

27 August 2016 Cr Tom Gilmore Chair FNQROC PO Box 359 Cairns Qld 4870 Dear Tom and FNQROC Members In response to your letter dated 22 August, as I announced at the LGAQ conference in 2015, I have stepped down as Mayor of the Western Downs Regional Council and have nominated for the position of President of the LGAQ formerly held by fellow board member Margaret De Wit. With my 26 consecutive years as a local government representative and currently serving my second term on the LGAQ Board of Directors, I believe I have the knowledge and skills to fulfil this important role. Prior to the recent elections, I informed my community of my intentions and with the support of my council I believe that I have the time and energy that this position requires. Coming from a regional council, I am well aware of the frustration regional councils experience when witnessing enormous expenditure in the SE corner. There is the perception that regional communities miss out. I will ensure all 77 councils of Queensland are given fair and equal representation. My commitments to you are:

To work with the State and Federal Government to ensure NDRRA funding and additional mitigation funding for natural disasters

To ensure continued and increased funding for financial and assistance

grants(FAGS)

To advocate for efficient telecommunication services for all of Qld.

To support the Australia Infrastructure Plan to promote Northern Australia (NAIF)

To address the coastal adaptation plan.

To maintain and develop as a high priority, infrastructure such as roads and.

security of water supplies.

To address issues of affordable housing and land tenure in aboriginal communities

30

To ensure a balance between the demands of environmental groups and the development needs of your region, ensuring environmental sustainability and promotion of the reef and rainforest.

To hold the State and Federal Government accountable for economic

development for all of Qld and to develop a strategic decentralisation policy to support our regions.

To ensure tourism and agricultural industries are promoted to their full

potential. With my demonstrated integrity, vision and leadership, I believe I can work with the 77 councils of Qld to continue to develop the LGAQ to be a strong advocacy driver to the State and Federal government, regardless of political persuasion. I am seeking your support and hope that we can, together, be a strong voice for all councils. Ray Brown LGAQ Board Director Councillor Western Downs Regional Council LGAQ Executive Board Member

31

27 August 2016 Councillor Tom Gilmore Chair Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils PO Box 359 CAIRNS QLD 4870 Dear Tom Thank you for your letter of 22 August 2016 on behalf of the Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) seeking an outline of how I would seek to address the needs of regional Queensland Councils should I be elected as President of the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ). I welcome the opportunity that the FNQROC member Councils have afforded me to outline the priorities that I would seek to pursue in that role. As we discussed when we met at the Connecting to Asia Forum in Cairns on 25 August 2016, I am presently visiting a number of areas of Queensland to discuss with Mayors and their Councils the opportunities and challenges that they are addressing in their regions. I consider that this level of personal interaction is essential in growing awareness of the needs of specific regions but also in being able to explore where future opportunities may be able to be progressed, either through advocacy with other levels of government or through greater collaborations between councils and/or with the private sector. This approach is also instructive as I am eager to ensure the agenda progressed by the LGAQ is properly informed by Councils and the aspirations and opportunities that they wish to see advanced by their representative body. I propose to come back to you with a more comprehensive response in coming weeks, but in the interim, I would like to assure the FNQROC members that: I have a long personal and career history of living and working in regional Queensland.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with regional and shire Councils on a wide range of issues, programs and initiatives and assisted to publicly advocate and promote their interests to a wider audience. This experience is directly relevant to the role of the LGAQ President and I believe is one of the greatest assets that I would bring to the role.

I am an independent Mayor, who has never been a member of a political party, which has

enabled me to develop strong productive relationships with the major political parties. I am sure you and your colleagues would agree this is crucial in the constantly changing political landscape we have experienced in Queensland and nationally in the last six years.

32

Working with Councils in regional Queensland to ensure their needs are properly considered and reflected in policy, programming and funding decision-making is (in my view) a core element of the role of President of the LGAQ. Regular interaction and direct consultation is the approach through which I operate and will be a hallmark of how I would carry out this role. It is my view that many people do not fully appreciate the criticality of the Council in regional, rural and remote areas – or that in many cases, the Council is the key body that brings communities together and generates the opportunities that deliver a future. This is something which I fully appreciate and it would be a key platform for advocating to state and federal governments for better infrastructure models for regional Queensland Councils.

Thank you for making contact with me and I will be coming back to you prior to the end of September on a number of matters. In the interim, if you or any of the FNQROC members have any questions or would like to discuss a matter with me personally, please do not hesitate to call me directly on 0418 775 841. Yours sincerely

MAYOR MARK JAMIESON

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

_______________________________________________________________________________________

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Functional and presentation currency The financial statements are presented in Australia dollars, which is the Association’s functional currency. Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with AASBs require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The Board is not aware of any critical judgements having been made in applying accounting policies that might have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, nor of any assumptions and estimation uncertainties that might have significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements. (1) Financial Instruments

Non-derivative financial instruments Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade and other payables. Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivate financial instruments are measure at amortised cost. A financial instrument is recognised if the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are derecognised if the Association’s contractual rights to the cash flow from the financial assets expire or if the Association transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are accounted for at trade date, i.e. the date that the Association commits itself to purchase or sell the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Association’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with a term of less than three months. The Association holds no derivative financial instruments. Compound financial instruments The Association has not issued any compound financial instruments.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (2) Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Association assumes substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measure at an amount equal to the lower of its far value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised on the Association’s Statement of Financial Position. (3) Impairment Financial assets A financial asset is assessed at each reporting period date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of the asset that can be estimated reliably. An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in financial costs and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through income.

(4) Salaries and wages The Association’s employees are employed by the Cairns Regional Council, a member council. These services are on charged to the Association at cost. In addition, the Association makes allowance for any annual leave and long service leave accruing in respect of these officers. The Cairns Regional Council provides estimates of these liability amounts each month. (5) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Association has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost.

_______________________________________________________________________________________


(6) Revenue Services Revenue from services rendered is recognised in income in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed. (7) Government grants Grants received Grants in respect of operating expenses (operating or revenue grants) are accounted for depending on whether they are reciprocal or non-reciprocal. Non-reciprocal grants received Grants where the Association receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished without directly giving approximate equal value in exchange to the other party are considered a non-reciprocal transfer. Non-reciprocal transfers are brought to account as revenue in the year in which they are received. Reciprocal grants received Grants where the Association receives assets or services, or has liabilities extinguished and gives approximately equal value in exchange to the other party are considered a reciprocal transfer. Reciprocal transfers are initially brought to account as revenue in the year in which they are received. The transfers are only recognised as revenue once the performance obligations relating to the funds have been transferred. (8) Contributions Contributions of assets, including the right to receive cash or other forms of assets without directly giving approximately equal value to the other party or parties to the transfer, are recognised as revenue at fair value when the Association obtains control of the contributions or the right to receive the contribution. It is probable that the economic benefits comprising the contribution will flow to the Association and the amount of the contribution can be measure reliably. (9) Finance income Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. (10) Income tax The Association is a not-for-profit organisation and the Board is of the opinion that, under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, it is exempt from income tax.

(11) Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to the ATO is included as a current asset or current liability in the statement of financial position. (12) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted There are a number of standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 July 2016 that have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements.
