Message from the MayorI am pleased to present the 2014/15 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Annual Report. The past financial year has once again been a successful year for the City with the completion of some major projects, and the implementation of new initiatives to ensure Council is performing up to the standards required by our community.
Annual Report 2014–2015

The Burt Street Façade Upgrade project was
completed and the new streetscape officially
opened on the 21 June 2015 with a civic
function held at the Boulder Town Hall. I am
very proud of this project and the benefit to the
businesses in Burt Street has been magnificent
with an increase in tourism numbers and visitors.
The street looks amazing.
The relocation of the Goldfields War Museum to
the old Library rooms at the Boulder Town Hall
is underway. This $1.6m project will see items
on display in a state of the art format and will be
completed in 2016.
The final interpretation plan for the Lord Forrest
Olympic Pool redevelopment was approved and
works will be commencing in the forthcoming
year. This project has taken many years to
come to fruition and we are now well on our
way to achieving a usable space that will link
the education precinct to the CBD as an open
community space, whilst retaining the history
of what was a much loved venue in Kalgoorlie-
Boulder.
Work on the Ray Finlayson Sporting Complex
is progressing at a rapid rate with the expected
completion in time for the 2016 summer sports
season. This facility will be a hallmark sporting
precinct and will enable our City to host national
events.
For the first time, the Council undertook a
Community Perception Survey to survey a
random and broad selection of residents to
get their feedback on the way the City and
Council operate. Whilst the City regularly seeks
community feedback and input on our projects,
activities and events, this was the first time we
have conducted a survey to gauge the way
the community looks at our local government
as a whole. The Survey provided the Council
with information to better understand and
monitor how local residents regard local
services, facilities and developments and
evaluate feedback against key performance
indicators highlighted in the Community
Strategic Plan. It also focussed on other key
areas including leadership, society, economy and
the environment. The survey was sent to 4000
households and we received 469 completed
surveys. Overall, 83% of people surveyed were
satisfied with Kalgoorlie-Boulder, and 68% of
people were satisfied with the City of Kalgoorlie-
Boulder as a governing organisation.
Antisocial behaviour was listed as a high priority
in the survey results, and in response the
Council formed a Community Safety Crime
Prevention Reference Group, working with
WA Police and community organisations such
as Neighbourhood Watch and the KBCCI to
implement strategies to address issues pertaining
to antisocial behaviour. The group will continue
to work within the community to ensure that
Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a safe place to live work
and play.
I am very proud of the awards the City
received this year. One in particular was the
2015 Western Australian State Heritage Award
for Outstanding Heritage Practices. The
award recognises a local government that
demonstrates a whole of agency approach to
the commitment and promotion of cultural
heritage and/or heritage related work, services
or programs in Western Australia’, and highlights
the proactive approach that all areas of the City
take to heritage. The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
administers a comprehensive program of
heritage initiatives including policies, grants and
incentives to assist owners in the conservation of
the city’s heritage. The city’s History and Heritage
Unit maintains an extensive archive of local and
family history records as well as the Goldfields
War Museum collection.

Mayor, City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
6 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
Another initiative implemented by Council
was extended trading in the City; 7am to 7pm
weekdays and 7am to 6pm on Saturdays. The
community was clear in their message to the
Council that they wanted more flexibility and we
responded.
The City Events Calendar is always exciting
and this last year was no exception. KidsFest is
always a fantastic event that is highly anticipated,
as well as the annual Lighting of the Christmas
Tree a personal favourite of mine. This event
grows in popularity each year and City staff are
always working to improve on the previous year’s
events so the residents of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
have a variety of events each year. It is important
to Council to ensure that families within the City
do not miss out on quality shows, performers
etc just because we are 600km from the state’s
capital.
The Goldfields Arts Centre underwent
renovations which included new disabled toilets
and ramps, carpeting in the foyer and upgrading
of signage to list a few. The Country Arts, ‘Arts
and Edges Summit’ was held at the GAC in
October with over 500 delegates travelling to
Kalgoorlie-Boulder for the summit, hailing it an
outstanding success.
I would like to thank all of the City staff, for their
hard work over the last 12 months.
I would also like to thank my fellow elected
members for their tireless contributions to the
City.
Ron Yuryevich, AM RFD Mayor, City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
7Annual Report 2014–2015
Chief Executive OfficerThe Annual Report covers the operations of the City for the 12 month period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.
Each section within the City has provided a
snapshot of its operations for this period. The
City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is the most diverse
Local Government in WA in the type of services it
provides and delivers to its community. It is also
one of the largest, with a total annual budget of
around $90million and capital works totalling
$42 million.
As can be seen in this report, the City completed
the Burt Street Façade Upgrade to revitalise
Burt Street Boulder and there are several other
large projects well underway which will further
enhance the City’s family friendly status. The
City’s great built facilities are matched by the
services we provide and the community events
that the City puts on. As a Local Government we
hope we more than just provide for the basic
needs of the community and do actually achieve
a higher standard.

Human Resources
During 2014/2015, the City maintained a
workforce of approximately 279 staff. The
workforce was comprised of 242 permanent full
and part time employees and 37 on fixed term
contracts. The City also employed 157 casuals,
119 of whom work at the Oasis Recreational
Centre.
For the year ending 30 June 2015, there were 53
resignations with a turnover rate of 20.1%. The
City also engaged a small number of project
workers to facilitate new initiatives and projects.
Learning and Development
During 2014/15 City staff attended training
courses, seminars and conferences on a
variety of topics including Mental Health
Training, First Aid, Leading & Managing
Teams, Time Management, Manual Tasks,
Customer Excellence, Cultural Awareness and
Personality Dimensions. The City employed 11
Trainees, and 4 Apprentices; during the year
completing qualifications in finance, IT, business,
horticulture, record keeping, fitness, regulatory
services, events and community services. Two
trainees were successful in gaining full time
employment in the positions of Finance Officer
and Compliance and Regulatory Support Officer
with the City.
Occupational Health and Safety
The City’s Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OHSMS) provides an
overview and strengthens the commitment of
management to the continual improvement of
health and safety systems and objectives for the
organisation.
Underpinning procedures of the OHSMS are
under regular review to ensure continuing
compliance with legislation and standards, and
relevance to operational requirements.
City operations resulted in a total of 89 incidents
being reported during the 2014-2015 year, 26 of
which were injuries requiring medical treatment.
Of these 26, 14 were Lost Time Injuries (LTI), with
one being reportable to Worksafe.
The City’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate
(LTIFR) for this period was 10.8%, up from 10%
for the previous financial year. For this same
period there was an 8.6% increase in Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) numbers.
Improved Injury Management processes
continue to constrain LTI Days Lost and Duration
statistics to very low levels when compared to
equivalent Local Governments.
A number of Health initiatives, including flu
vaccinations and skin screening, were offered
to staff to support the City’s commitment to the
health and wellbeing of its workforce.
Customer Service
Customer Service continues to improve across
the City directorates. While some customers
choose to visit the Administration Building
with their enquiries or service requests, many
customers choose to write, phone or email.
Increasing numbers of customers are using the
web based ‘Customer Enquiry Form’ and the
Smartphone App, ‘Snap - Send - Solve’ which has
also grown in popularity. Customers with speech
or hearing difficulties may contact the City using
the National Relay Service. The City may use
the Translating and Interpretation Services of
the Department of Immigration for customers
experiencing language barriers. A Customer
Service Charter was developed and distributed
to acknowledge the City’s commitment to
providing the community with a quality service
that is professional, efficient and effective.
All new recruits are advised of our customer
service ethos and expectations and this is
supported through the Customer Service
Standards Guidebook and the Customer Service
Policy. Staff dealing with customers on a regular
basis received customer service training in July
and November.
Complaints and feedback help the City to
enhance the services we provide to the
community. Customer complaints are registered,
resolved and summarised in a quarterly report
to the Executive Group. A Mystery Shopper
program has been implemented to evaluate
the customer experience and provide the City’s
Executive Group with valuable feedback.
Community engagement is critical for the

successful development and implementation
of acceptable policies and decisions and for
improving services by being responsive to the
needs of the community. During 2014/2015
the City developed a Community Engagement
Policy to highlight the City’s commitment to
supporting ongoing and interactive relationships
between the City and the community. The
Policy recognises the need to ensure that
the community is informed about local and
regional issues and how they can contribute
ideas and help identify solutions. Guidelines
were developed to assist staff with engagement
between the City and the community. The City is
committed to maintaining a culture that respects
each individual’s rights to privacy. The Customer
11Annual Report 2014–2015
Privacy Policy sets out the principles of the
City in relation to its management of personal
information.
The City completed its first Community
Perceptions Survey in 2014, which provided
valuable information on where the City
performs well and also areas that need further
development. An action plan was developed to
address those areas that needed improvement.
Council resolved to conduct a Perceptions
Survey in 2015 and then every two years
thereafter.

City Archives and the Goldfields War Museum.
The current location is the Kalgoorlie Town
Hall. The Unit has enjoyed an eventful year with
facilities being utilised by 5, 738 state, inter-state
and international visitors.
The year has seen the History and Heritage Unit
along with the City’s Statutory Planning being

promoting and managing the City’s cultural
heritage when the City was presented with a
State Heritage award for Heritage Practices.
The redevelopment of the Goldfields War
Museum is progressing well, with its completion
date and opening within its new home at the
Boulder Town Hall being highly anticipated.
The Unit also received the Tripadvisor award
of “Excellence” for tours of the Boulder and
Kalgoorlie Town Halls.
The Unit also participated in events such as
Australian Heritage Week, Australian Heritage
Festival and Race Round, offering free heritage

obtaining a grant from Veterans’ Affairs which
enabled the Unit to research, design and install
an exhibition called: “From the Goldfields to
War - the first WWI Volunteers“. This exhibition
opened at the Boulder Town Hall and was
enjoyed by 820 visitors in the 5 weeks it was
housed there. The exhibition was then relocated
to the Goldfields Arts Centre for 6 weeks. Plans
are currently underway for the exhibition to be
installed at Kalgoorlie Primary School.

The City Archives plays an important role
by documenting, preserving and making
information available significant Council
documentation for research. The City Archive
Community Services
14 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
is not only responsible for maintaining the City’s
Archive collection but also to manage the City’s
intriguing art and memorabilia collections. The
Archives are a great source of information, with
460 enquiries being successfully handled this
past year. Archive staff have been involved
in significant research projects such as the
restoration of the historic buildings in Burt Street
and the interpretation panels thereof.
Town Halls
The Kalgoorlie and Boulder Town Halls are an
ever popular tourist attraction with 1,002 general

and 1,425 school children from 9 different schools
visiting during the year.
Eastern Goldfields Community Centre (EGCC)
The EGCC continues to deliver Home and
Community Care (HACC) Services to eligible
Clients, assisting them to live independently in
their own homes in the community, thereby
preventing premature admission to residential
care. All services continue to be planned and
implemented in accordance with the HACC
Wellness Approach. This approach asserts that
people who are frail or have a disability have
the capacity to live at an optimal level in the
community, independently, when positively
supported to do so.
The HACC program continues to be funded by the
Commonwealth and Western Australian (WA) State
Governments and the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
to provide services within the City’s parameters to
those who are assessed as eligible by the Regional
Assessment Service (RAS).
The EGCC underwent a staff restructure in June
2014 and a thorough review of practices and
procedures in readiness for the triennial Quality
Audit Review by Community West in October
2014.
This review was completed in April 2015 with
a continuation of the Planning and Review
process to measure service delivery against the
Community Common Care Standards (CCCS).
EGCC events for HACC Clients and Seniors
The EGCC hosted many events enjoyed by all
who attended them over the past year. These
included:
• Senior’s Week – a grant from the Council
Of The Aging (COTA) ensured new fun
and engaging sports equipment could be
purchased for the “CommonHealth Games”
• Footy Lunch – this was a combined function
with Alzheimer’s Australia to celebrate the end
of the football season
• Melbourne Cup Luncheon
• EGCC Senior’s Christmas Luncheon

was raised
• WA Disabled Sports Association (WADSA) Activity
Day for centre based day centre clients.
Meals on Wheels
Volunteers continue to play a major role in the
delivery of Meals on Wheels to eligible clients.
Meals on Wheels volunteers were nominated for
and received the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Volunteer
Centre Group Volunteer Award for 2014. Teresa
Fox received the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Volunteer
Centre Individual Volunteer Award for 2014. A
total of 6,658 meals were produced and delivered
over the last year. Food Safety Audits were held in
September 2014 and March 2015 and achieved a
High Performance pass grade.
Carers Support Group
Carers Support Group meetings are held on a
monthly basis to provide support to those in a
Carer role. Respite is offered to those in attendees
care to ensure the Carer is able to attend. Guest

Outcome 7
C.Y. O’Connor Men’s Shed
The C.Y. O’Connor Men’s Shed has grown despite
the many members leaving town due to the
down-turn in the local economy. The Men’s Shed
membership has remained relatively stable with
an increase of 5 members from last year; now
132 members. The C.Y. O’Connor Men’s Shed has
the third largest membership in WA. The Shed
is well utilised with active individual members
and group memberships. The Shed continues to
provide a venue for programs and activities for a
variety of not for profit groups within Kalgoorlie-
Boulder. The C.Y. O’Connor Men’s Shed has been
recognised by the Western Australian Men’s Shed
Association (WAMSA) as one of the most active
sheds in WA, for its involvement with groups and
local organisations providing services and support
programs.
Projects undertaken by Shedders have included
the making of a Doll’s House for the Oasis Creche
and Bird Nesting Boxes for Hammond Park.
Play toys, cabinets and repairs on equipment
have been undertaken on behalf of the City’s
play groups and organisations within the local
area. Various other projects for not for profit
organisations include the Toy Box for the Old
Bastards Charity group to be donated to a local
disabled boy.
Men’s health programs in the shed have included
One Pot Cooking Classes, a visit from the hearing
test van and cancer awareness presentations.
William Grundt Memorial Library
The William Grundt Memorial Library continues to
promote literature in various formats to provide
community education and leisure opportunities.
The Library has maintained a high profile attracting
72,834 visitors in 2014/15 which is roughly 3%
increase on last year.
This year saw our Library Management software
migrate to a cloud based system called WorldShare.
WorldShare software has allowed library members
access to a worldwide catalogue, though the library
is unable to facilitate interlibrary loan’s with libraries
outside of WA. When travelling or researching
material it provides alternatives for members
wishing to locate and access these items. It also
enables the library to provide direct access to full
text articles via the EBSCO database, as part of
the knowledge base within the catalogue itself.
The Library’s downloadable audio books are now
included in the catalogue for members to access.
This year also saw the library’s first Self-service
Checkout Kiosk installed in May 2015. This enables
members to issue their books and view what they
currently have on loan at the same time. Members
can also renew their books via the kiosk. Library
staff have noticed however that their members still
prefer the personal service at the front desk.
With the migration to WorldShare, library
membership records have been reconciled,
resulting in members that have not used the library
in more than 2 years being deleted. This is to assist
staff in keeping accurate records moving forward.
Library membership is currently at 9,782 members.
The popularity of the Flexible Learning Room that
provides computer use indicates there continues
to be a high demand for this service in Kalgoorlie-
Boulder.
The Library has hosted some great exhibits and
authors this year, including a travelling exhibition
from The Royal Australian Chemical Institute
sponsored by the Department of Innovation,
Industry, Science and Research titled “Health
Chemistry”. Norman Jorgensen was our guest
Author for Children’s Book Week in August 2014;
Bestselling Author Rachel Treasure in October
2014 which was a combined event with Collins
Booksellers and finished off the year with a visit
from the award winning Author Jackie French, the
current Australian Children’s Laureate.
16 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
Community Events
The annual calendar of community events
saw an increase in attendance at all events
throughout the year. The Lighting of the
Christmas Tree was well received by the
community who were provided the opportunity
to hear performances by The Brownley Gospel
Choir, Tiahn Dillon, and for the little ones, The
Lu Lu’s. The Sunset at the Soundshell Concert
Series saw a great turnout to sing and dance
along to Viva Coldplay, Abbasolutely, 100%
Michael Jackson and the talented and creative
All Star Bowie Tribute and Jumping Jack Flash.
This year’s Multicultural Festival was the most
successful with record attendance of both
community groups and community members
wishing to experience a diverse range of cultural
foods, activities and entertainment. Other
annual events that continue to be successful
are the ArtPrize, Pet’s Day Out, Outdoor Cinema
Nights and the Australia Day Big Breakfast.
Youth
Across the year several successful and exciting
events were held for the young people of
Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Youthfest, held in National
Youth Week, saw an attendance of just under
1000 young people enjoy the entertainment
provided by local community artists, sporting
groups and other talent genres. Headline act
Marlissa was a big hit with the young people with
many excited at the opportunity to meet her
after the event. The skate park continues to host
several skate workshops and events throughout
the year with a large Skate, Scooter and BMX
competition drawing in a large crowd from all
over the Goldfields region.
Sport
The Sports Coordinator continues to coordinate
the Kidsport program that is funded through
the Department of Sport and Recreation. This
program provides financial support to the
community and an opportunity for young people
aged 5-18 years to participate in structured sport
and recreation activities. This role also sees the
Coordinator organise and conduct a variety
of workshops and development programs to
increase the capacity of the local sporting clubs
in the region. One such program is the Regional
Talent Development Program, a partnership
between the City and the Department of Sport
and Recreation which now, in its third year,
aims to increase the skills and knowledge of
coaches and talented junior athletes in the
Goldfields by providing access to professional
development, mentoring, high performance
training and educational workshops facilitated by
State Sporting Associations (SSA) and high profile
industry leaders.
The Goldfields Arts Centre
The Country Arts, Arts and Edges Summit, saw
a focus on the Goldfields Arts Centre and arts
in general for not only Kalgoorlie Boulder, but
the Goldfields Esperance Region. Staff worked
tirelessly to host a seamless event that saw over
550 delegates treated to some amazing shows,
workshops and talks The year has seen some
major renovations completed at the Goldfields
Arts Centre and a few more planned between
now and the end of the year. They have
included two new disabled toilets and ramps, 3
lifts, new carpets and tiling in the foyer areas and
outside the building, a chiller plant that allows
the GAC to control its own air conditioners,
upgrade of exit signs and fire extinguishers,
new sound and lighting desk for the theatre,
CCTV cameras and internal cabling to allow
for future services. A new website and logo
was announced in August which complements
the building upgrades and makes booking
tickets and finding out about shows a lot
easier. Theatre programming has been steadily
increasing with the GAC picking up more shows
now it is back on the touring schedule.
Community Development
17Annual Report 2014–2015
The Oasis has seen major improvements across
various areas throughout 2014/2015 financial
year. The most significant improvement was
the refurbishment of the Health Club with the
installation of 30 pieces of Technogym cardio
equipment and over 35 pieces of resistance
equipment. The feedback from members has
been positive and member engagement has
grown through Technogym’s ‘MyWellness’
application which records workout activity. There
were also design features such as signage and
mirrored windows that were incorporated to
improve the space aesthetically.
The Oasis has implemented a group fitness
program called Zumba, which is a Latin dance
based fitness class designed for all ages and
fitness levels. The basic training module was held
directly at the Oasis and was delivered by world-
renowned instructor Maria-Teresa Stone. It is a
welcomed addition to the timetable, attracting a
new demographic of participants into the centre.
Oasis Swim School continues to be in high
demand with an enrolment increase of 18%
in comparison to 2013/2014. To cater for the
demand, the Oasis Swim School launched the
Development Squad which is categorised into
beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons
that aim to develop competitive stroke skills and
endurance.
The Oasis was heavily involved in a community
initiative called Pledge to Park Run, a free six
week program which specifically targeted men
to encourage regular exercise and to participate
in the 5km Park Run held at Karlkurla Park each
Saturday. The Oasis conducted two instructor
led classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The
program saw over 50 people register and an
average attendance of 17. Upon completion of
the program the average weight loss was 2kg
and 39% felt they had improved their eating
habits and 78% indicated that they would
recommend the program to others.
The Oasis had Ultra Violet systems installed in
both the main and leisure pool in December
2014. The UV systems break down the
chloramines that are produced as part of
the chlorine disinfection process and thus
have improved the atmosphere of pool deck,
particularly the chlorine odour, and there has
also been a noticeable reduction in corrosion on
both the pool deck and in the plant rooms.
In addition, the Oasis used 2527GJ less gas
in 14/15 than in 13/14 financial year which is
attributed to the centre’s Alternate Energy
Projects. This equates to a 43.61% reduction in
costs.
Finally, the Oasis received a number of awards
and recognitions for 2014/2015. The Oasis
continued to hold its Gold Quality Award status
from Fitness Australia for the second consecutive
year. The centre was elevated by Waterwise to a
Silver status for water efficiency and was also a
finalist for the Regional Landcorp Sustainability
award.

Conservation Management Plans. As a result of
this work, (along with the work of the Heritage
Unit) the City won the prestigious Western
Australian Heritage Awards 2015 for Heritage
Practices by a Local Government.
Building

Development Services
20 City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder
The primary role of the Health and Compliance
Service area is to protect the health and well-
being of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder community
through the delivery of various programs that
encourage, monitor and ensure compliance with
public health, community and environmental
laws. The section’s goal is to help make the City
a safe, healthy and sustainable place to live. This
area consists of Ranger Services, Environmental
Health and a compliance team.
Compliance
The compliance portfolio deals with a broad

complaints were related to business activity in
close proximity to residential housing, building
construction noise, and amplified music.
Mosquito Monitoring and Control
Mosquito breeding activity in 2014/15 has
reduced compared to the previous year as a
result of the City’s ongoing mosquito treatment

The Environmental Health Officer–Indigenous
Communities Coordinator and Field Support
Officer visited the 13 Aboriginal communities
in the Eastern Goldfields Region, for a total
of 40 visits to communities, and conducted a
range of activities, including school programs,
dog health programs, housing, rubbish tip and
sewage inspections with subsequent reports
to responsible agencies to help improve the
level of environmental health in Indigenous

Environmental Health Rangers attended to 5368 jobs throughout
the year. Ranger Services continues with an
approach to education rather than enforcement,
with 1866 warnings/notices issued, compared
to 1012 infringements. The City has an
appeals process which can be used to review
infringements. This process is used by the
community and resulted in 54 infringements
being withdrawn. The majority of service
requests that came through to Ranger Services
concerned Issues related to animals, discarded
trolleys in the community, and parking.
Animal Issues

to be feral, not suitable for rehoming and
euthanized. There were also 73 other animals
impounded during the year, ranging from
chickens, swans, rabbits to horses.
Parking Control
Timed parking areas around the City continue to
be patrolled with 23,481 vehicles checked during
the year, resulting in 330 infringements or 1.0%
of vehicles checked which were found to have
overstayed. Burt St CBD patrols were curtailed
for the year due to restoration work. A further
267 infringements were issued for general
parking related offences.

Sustainability
2014/15 saw projects implemented which aimed
to improve the City’s standing as a ‘sustainable
regional city of the future’;
The large scale solar PV system planned for the
Kalgoorlie-Boulder airport is well underway and
currently awaiting sign off by Western Power
prior to construction. It is estimated that this
system will produce 252,800kwh and save the
City approximately $55,000 per annum.
The City’s solar array at the South Boulder
Waste Water Treatment Plant produced over
205,000kwh of electricity in the 2014/15 year,
saving the City approximately $42,000.
In total the City’s existing Solar PV systems
produced 525,002kwh of electricity resulting in a
saving of $118,649 for the 2014/15 year.
Sewerage
In 2014/15 the City experienced 37 system
failures, well within the City’s National
Performance criteria. The City continued to
use CCTV to identify at risk sewer lines, and
the information obtained is used to set forward
works programs.
The City’s South Boulder Wastewater Treatment
Plant treated approximately 6.4 mega litres
of wastewater per day. The treated effluent
produced was used for the irrigation of ovals,
parks, gardens, and on-sold to the mining
industry
Refuse Collection and Recycling
The City’s kerbside recycling service captured
approximately 1,761 tons of recyclables for the
2014/15 year.

Scheduled RPT passenger numbers for
the 2014/15 financial year showed a slight
improvement over those recorded in the previous
financial year (from 218,035 to 221,357).
The first full year of charter operations recorded
7,591 passenger movements with revenue in both
the charter and RPT sectors achieving in excess of
$5 million for the period.
Landing fee income was down marginally in
2014/15 compared with 2013/14 ($1,385,025 to
$1,198,230). This resulted from the use by one of
the airlines for part of the year of lighter, turboprop
aircraft on some of its Perth to Kalgoorlie-Boulder
sectors. All RPT services now use heavier pure jet
aircraft.
2014/15 also saw the completion of major capital
works needed to repair deformed sections of
the northern portion of the north/south taxiway.
Works also commenced on the installation
of a solar panel power source which will be
located adjacent to the terminal and which will
be completed in 2015/16. This will substantially
augment the supply of energy to the airport.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder Airport
The 2014/15 financial year saw further substantial
expenditure on major capital improvement and
rehabilitation works in the Engineering Services
area. Works undertaken included several traffic
safety projects and numerous reconstructions of
major roads. The total transport related capital and
operating expenditure (excluding Airport operations
and plant purchases) was approximately $13,819,213
for the year. Success with external road funding
applications through State and Federal Government
programs again assisted with road improvement
projects.
The largest single project was the flood damage
reinstatement of the Kurnalpi – Pinjin Road
costing over 1,000,000 to date. This project is
largely funded by the Federal Government. Other
significant projects included the continued upgrade
works carried out on the City’s rural regionally
significant roads, including Yarri Road, Broad
Arrow–Ora Banda Road and the Mt Monger Road.

indicators to highlights trends. A summary of these performance indicators is listed below:
Recording Of Assets At Fair Value
Effective from 1 July 2012, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations were amended
and measurement of non-current assets at Fair Value became mandatory. This is being phased in over
3 years and transitions the value of non-current assets from historic cost to their assessed value by
market or other determinations at the current time. Infrastructure assets were revalued in 2015, their
fair value being $383,731,029, and resulting in a net increase on revaluation of $205,290,481.

Most of the 19 Reserves held, have been established over the years to allow for development to
occur without a major impact on rating or the need to borrow funds. Other reserves are to smooth
operating expenses from year to year, like Leave Reserve and the Insurance Equalisation Reserve.
Total of Cash Backed Reserves held at 30th June 2015 was $27,022,889, including unspent loans of

won “Regional Golf Facility of the Year” and
held another successful WA Goldfields PGA
Championship. The standard of the course
continues to improve year after year.

Retail throughout the City has been quiet and
this has contributed to a high number of vacant
shops throughout the Endowment Block and
Hannan St. Recent valuations have seen the
price of rentals drop considerably.
Burt Street Facade Project
The Burt Street Façade Upgrade project was
completed and officially opened on 21 June
2015. The project, which saw the facades of 41
properties reinstated to their original heritage
appearance, received $3.15million from the State
Government and Royalties for Regions, and
$1.2million from the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

This principle deals with ensuring that
government business operations have no
advantage or disadvantage in comparison with
the private sector.
The policy dictates that competitive neutrality
should apply to all business activities which
generate a user pays income of over $200,000
unless it can be shown that it is not in the
public interest. In this regard, no significant
new business activities for the purposes
of competitive neutrality were initiated or
considered during the year and no non-

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of PreparationThe financial report comprises general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (as they apply to local governments and not-for-profit entities), Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the AustralianAccounting Standards Board, the Local Government Act 1995 and accompanying regulations. Material accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presentedbelow and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.
Except for cash flow and rate setting information, the report has been prepared on the accrual basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities.
Critical accounting estimatesThe preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The local government reporting entityAll Funds through which the City controls resources to carry on its functions have been included in thefinancial statements forming part of this financial report.
In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balances between those Funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.
All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the financial statements. A separate statement ofthose monies appears at Note 19 to these financial statements.
(b) Goods and Services Tax (GST)Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of GST receivable or payable.The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operatingcash flows.
(c) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank, deposits available on demand with banks and other short term highly liquid investments 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 reported as short term borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(d) Trade and Other ReceivablesTrade and other receivables include amounts due from ratepayers for unpaid rates and service charges and other amounts due from third parties for goods sold and services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Receivables expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets.
Collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that they will not be collectible.
(e) Inventories
GeneralInventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
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.
Land held for saleLand held for development and sale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, borrowing costs and holding costs until completion of development.Finance costs and holding charges incurred after development is completed are expensed.
Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss at the time of signing an unconditional contract of sale if significant risks and rewards, and effective control over the land, are passed on to the buyer at this point.
Land held for sale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on the Council’sintentions to release for sale.
(f) Fixed AssetsEach class of fixed assets within either property, plant and equipment or infrastructure, is carried at cost or fair value as indicated less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Mandatory requirement to revalue non-current assetsEffective from 1 July 2012, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations were amended and the measurement of non-current assets at Fair Value became mandatory.
The amendments allow for a phasing in of fair value in relation to fixed assets over three years as follows:
(a) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2013, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government that are plant and equipment; and(b) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2014, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government - (i) that are plant and equipment; and (ii) that are - (I) land and buildings; or- (II) Infrastructure;and(c) for a financial year ending on or after 30 June 2015, the fair value of all of the assets of the local government.
Thereafter, in accordance with the regulations, each asset class must be revalued at least every 3 years.
In 2013, the City commenced the process of adopting Fair Value in accordance with the Regulations.
Relevant disclosures, in accordance with the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, have been made in the financial report as necessary.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(f) Fixed Assets (Continued)
Land under controlIn accordance with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a), the City was requiredto include as an asset (by 30 June 2013), Crown Land operated by the local government as a golf course,showground, racecourse or other sporting or recreational facility of State or Regional significance.
Upon initial recognition, these assets were recorded at cost in accordance with AASB 116. They were then classified as Land and revalued along with other land in accordance with the other policies detailed in this Note.
Initial recognition and measurement between mandatory revaluation datesAll assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently revalued in accordance with the mandatory measurement framework detailed above.
In relation to this initial measurement, cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given as consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assetsconstructed by the City includes the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the projectand an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overheads.
Individual assets acquired between initial recognition and the next revaluation of the asset class in accordance with the mandatory measurement framework detailed above, are carried at cost lessaccumulated depreciation as management believes this approximates fair value. They will be subject tosubsequent revaluation at the next anniversary date in accordance with the mandatory measurement framework detailed above.
RevaluationIncreases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of assets are credited to a revaluation surplus in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are recognised against revaluation surplus directly in equity. All other decreases are recognised in profit or loss.
Land under roadsIn Western Australia, all land under roads is Crown Land, the responsibility for managing which, is vested in the local government.
Effective as at 1 July 2008, Council elected not to recognise any value for land under roads acquired on or before 30 June 2008. This accords with the treatment available in Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1051 Land Under Roads and the fact Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a)(i) prohibits local governments from recognising such land as an asset.
In respect of land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008, as detailed above, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a)(i) prohibits local governments from recognising such landas an asset.
Whilst such treatment is inconsistent with the requirements of AASB 1051, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 4(2) provides, in the event of such an inconsistency, the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations prevail.
Consequently, any land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008 is not included as an asset of the City.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(f) Fixed Assets (Continued)
DepreciationThe depreciable amount of all fixed assets including buildings but excluding freehold land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the individual asset’s useful life from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements.
When an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, any accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is treated in one of the following ways:a) Restated proportionately with the change in the gross carrying amount of the asset so that the carrying amount of the asset after revaluation equals its revalued amount; orb) Eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount restated to the revalued amount of the asset.
Major depreciation periods used for each class of depreciable asset are:
Buildings 30 to 50 yearsTemporary Buildings 20 yearsFurniture and equipment 4 to 10 yearsPlant and equipment 5 to 15 yearsSealed roads and streets formation not depreciated pavement 50 years seal - bituminous seals 20 years - asphalt surfaces 25 yearsGravel roads formation not depreciated pavement 50 yearsFormed roads (unsealed) formation not depreciated pavement 50 yearsFootpaths - slab 40 yearsSewerage piping 100 yearsWater supply piping and drainage systems 75 years
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carryingamount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in whichthey arise.
Capitalisation thresholdExpenditure on items of equipment under $2,000 is not capitalised. Rather, it is recorded on an asset inventory listing.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(g) Fair Value of Assets and LiabilitiesWhen performing a revaluation, the City uses a mix of both independent and management valuationsusing the following as a guide:
Fair Value is the price that the City would receive to sell the asset or would have to pay to transfer aliability, in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.
As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data.
To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset orliability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of thereporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).
For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
Fair value hierarchyAASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurement into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is significant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:
Level 1Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.
Valuation techniquesThe City selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficientdata is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected bythe City are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:
Market approachValuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

(g) Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Continued)Valuation techniques (Continued)
Income approachValuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value.
Cost approachValuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.
Each valuation technique requires inputs that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the City gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers wouldgenerally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable.
As detailed above, the mandatory measurement framework imposed by the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations requires, as a minimum, all assets carried at a revalued amount to be revalued at least every 3 years.
(h) Financial Instruments
Initial recognition and measurementFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the City becomes a party to thecontractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the City commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting isadopted).
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.
Classification and subsequent measurementFinancial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, or at cost.
Amortised cost is calculated as:
(a) the amount in which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition;
(b) less principal repayments and any reduction for impairment; and
(c) plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.

(h) Financial Instruments (Continued)
Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss Financial assets are classified at “fair value through profit or loss” when they are held for trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in carrying amount being included in profit or loss. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
(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 and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Loans and receivables are included in current assets where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(iii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments that the City has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Theyare subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.
Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, where they are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other investments are classified as non-current.
(iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.
They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in such fair value (i.e. gains or losses) recognised in other comprehensive income (except for impairment losses). When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss pertaining to that asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified into profit or loss.
Available-for-sale financial assets are included in current assets, where they are expected to be sold within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. All other available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current.
(v) Financial liabilitiesNon-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(h) Financial Instruments (Continued)
ImpairmentA financial asset is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment asa result of one or more events (a “loss event”) having occurred, which will have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset(s).
In the case of available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the market value of the instrument is considered a loss event. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss immediately. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.
In the case of financial assets carried at amortised cost, loss events may include: indications that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; indications that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost (including loans and receivables), a separate allowance account is used to reduce the carrying amount of financial assets impaired by credit losses. After having taken all possible measures of recovery, if management establishes that the carrying amount cannot be recovered by any means, at that point the written-off amounts are charged to the allowance account or the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly if no impairment amount was previously recognised in the allowance account.
DerecognitionFinancial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expire or theasset is transferred to another party whereby the City no longer has any significant continualinvolvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of the consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Impairment of AssetsIn accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the City's assets, other than inventories,are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication they may be impaired.
Where such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying amount.
Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another Standard (e.g. AASB 116) whereby any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other Standard.
For non-cash generating assets such as roads, drains, public buildings and the like, value in use isrepresented by the depreciated replacement cost of the asset.
(j) Trade and Other PayablesTrade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the City prior to theend of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the City becomes obliged to make futurepayments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured, are recognised as a current liability and are normally paid within 30 days of recognition.

(k) Employee BenefitsShort-term employee benefits Provision is made for the City’s obligations for short-term employee benefits. Short-term employeebenefits are benefits (other than termination benefits) that are expected to be settled wholly before 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service, including wages, salaries and sick leave. Short-term employee benefits are measured at the (undiscounted) amounts expected to be paid when the obligation is settled.
The City’s obligations for short-term employee benefits such as wages, salaries and sick leave arerecognised as a part of current trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. The City’s obligations for employees’ annual leave and long service leave entitlements are recognised asprovisions in the statement of financial position.
Other long-term employee benefitsProvision is made for employees’ long service leave and annual leave entitlements not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render the related service. Other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the expected future payments to be made to employees. Expected future payments incorporate anticipated future wage and salary levels, durations of service and employee departures and are discounted at rates determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have maturity dates that approximate the terms of the obligations. Any remeasurements for changes in assumptions of obligations for other long-term employee benefits are recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the changes occur.
The City’s obligations for long-term employee benefits are presented as non-current provisions in its statement of financial position, except where the City does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period, in which case the obligations are presented as current provisions.
(l) Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they are capitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset until such time as the asset is substantially ready for its intended use or sale.
(m) ProvisionsProvisions are recognised when the City has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.
Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
(n) LeasesLeases of fixed assets where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset, but not legal ownership, are transferred to the City, are classified as finance leases.
Finance leases are capitalised recording an asset and a liability at the lower amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including anyguaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liabilityand the lease interest expense for the period.
Leased assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with thelessor, are charged as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Lease incentives under operating leases are recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight linebasis over the life of the lease term.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(o) Investment in AssociatesAn associate is an entity over which the City has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial operating policy decisions of that entity but is not control or joint control of those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the financial statements by applying the equity method of accounting, whereby the investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the City’s share of net assets of the associate.In addition, the City’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is included in the City’s profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the investment includes, where applicable, goodwill relating to the associate. Any discount on acquisition, whereby the City’s share of the net fair value of the associate exceedsthe cost of investment, is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the City and the associate are eliminated tothe extent of the City’s interest in the associate.
When the City’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, theCity discontinues recognising its share of further losses unless it has incurred legal or constructiveobligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. When the associate subsequently makes profits, the City will resume recognising its share of those profits once its share of the profits equalsthe share of the losses not recognised.
(p) Interests in Joint ArrangementsJoint arrangements represent the contractual sharing of control between parties in a business venture where unanimous decisions about relevant activities are required.
Separate joint venture entities providing joint venturers with an interest to net assets are classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Refer to note 1(o) for a description of the equity method of accounting.
Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The City’s interests in the assets,liabilities, revenue and expenses of joint operations are included in the respective line items of the financial statements. Information about the joint ventures is set out in Note 16.
(q) Rates, Grants, Donations and Other ContributionsRates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the local government obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions.
Control over assets acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.
Where contributions recognised as revenues during the reporting period were obtained on the condition that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period, and those conditions were undischarged as at the reporting date, the nature of and amounts pertaining to those undischarged conditions are disclosed in Note 2(c) . That note also discloses the amount of contributions recognisedas revenues in a previous reporting period which were obtained in respect of the local government's operations for the current reporting period.
(r) SuperannuationThe City contributes to a number of Superannuation Funds on behalf of employees. All funds towhich the City contributes are defined contribution plans.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(s) Current and Non-Current ClassificationIn the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to the time when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the City’s operational cycle. In the caseof liabilities where the City does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months,such as vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12 months except for land held for sale where it is held as non-current based on the City’s intentions to release for sale.
(t) Rounding Off FiguresAll figures shown in this annual financial report, other than a rate in the dollar, are rounded to the nearest dollar.
(u) Comparative FiguresWhere required, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation for the current financial year.
When the City applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statement, an additional (third) statement of financial position as at thebeginning of the preceding period in addition to the minimum comparative financial statements ispresented.
(v) Budget Comparative FiguresUnless otherwise stated, the budget comparative figures shown in this annual financial report relate to the original budget estimate for the relevant item of disclosure.

The fair value of property, plant and equipment is determined at least every three years in accordancewith legislative requirements. Additions since the date of valuation are shown as cost, given they were acquired at arms length and any accumulated depreciation reflects the usage of service potential, it is considered the recorded written down value approximates fair value. At the end of eachintervening period the valuation is reviewed and where appropriate the fair value is updated toreflect current market conditions. This process is considered to be in accordance with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 17A (2) which requires property, plant and equipment to be shown at fair value.

The fair value of infrastructure is determined at least every three years in accordance with legislative requirements. Additions since the date of valuation are shown as cost. Given they were acquired at arms length and any accumulated depreciation reflects the usage of service potential, it is considered the recorded written down value approximates fair value. At the end of eachintervening period the valuation is reviewed and, where appropriate, the fair value is updated toreflect current market conditions.
This process is considered to be in accordance with Local Government (Financial Management)Regulation 17A (2) which requires infrastructure to be shown at fair value.

(ii) The Debt Service Cover and Operating Surplus ratios as disclosed above were all distorted by an item of expense totalling $38,514 relating to the revaluation decrement of major plant and equipment in accordance with Financial Management Regulations 17A.
Items (a) to (d) mentioned above are considered 'one-off' timing/non cash in nature and, if they are ingnored, the calculations disclosed in the columns above would be as follows:
(a) Information relating to the asset consumption ratio and the asset renewal funding ratio can be found at Supplementary Ratio Information on Page 59 of this document.
(b) For 2015, the Current, Debt Service Cover, Operating Surplus and Own Source Revenue Coverage ratios were distorted by an item of significant revenue relating to the early payment of 2015/16 Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs) of $1,200,761 which was received prior to year end and the loss on revaluation of Parks and Reserves of $8,910,069 and Parking Areas of $218,688.
(c) For 2014, the Current, Debt Service Cover, and Operating Surplus ratios disclosed above were distorted by the change to the payment of FAGs during the year ended 30 June 2014 which saw the advance payment of the first quarter of the following year cease. This created a timing difference which resulted in an amount of some $1,339,669 less revenue for the year.
(d) For 2013,(i) The effect of the FAGs advance payment in 2013 was negligible as it had also occurred in the previous year. In effect, four quarterly payments were received in both years so it was not considered necessary to calculate and disclose the ffect of any distortion as it was not considered significant.
