Executive IntroductionI am pleased to present the first Quarterly Budget Review for the 2011/12 Management Plan. This Quarterly Review incorporates a number of proposed budget variationsconsistent with the start of a new year including the allocation of capital works budgets and allocation of unspent grants. Due to an increase in Development Applications,we are also seeing an increase in Developer Contributions and a change in the expected timing of Developer Contributions.
Other variations included in this Quarterly Review is the change in funding for the Kandos Grandstand construction from Developer Contributions instead of loan funding; aportion of the swimming pools expenditure has been pushed out to 2012/13 to cater for the extended opening hours to a full swimming season; due to the recent sales inLions Drive an adjustment to the expected timing of the property sales income has also been addressed; and the application for state funding to rehabilitate Louee Rd hasbeen catered for with an allowance for Councils required matching contribution.
This month has also seen the completion of the following projects:
Rural Reseal – Canary Rail Crossing
Water Pump Station – Charbon
Aged Care Units – Gulgong
IT Network link upgrade to Operations

Financial CommentaryThis is the first quarterly budget review for the 2011/12 Management Plan. A commentary is provided on the financial position as at 30 September 2011 and projectedfinancial position out to 30 June 2012.
FUNDSGeneral FundCouncil finished the 2011 financial year with an unrestricted cash balance of $3.738 million, lower than anticipated due to an increased receivables balance. The OriginalBudget for 2012 estimated a decrease of $80k to the unrestricted cash balance by 30 June. Since then Council has approved $270k of cash-funded revotes.
A summary of budget movements in unrestricted cash across the financial year is presented in the following table:

Amount Impact
Original Budget (81) Deterioration
Revotes (270) Deterioration
Quarterly Budget Reporting – September 27 Improvement
Estimated Movement at 30 June 2012 (324) Deterioration
The variations recommended to Council as part of the September Quarterly Review have a favourable impact on the projected result at 30 June 2012. However, as a resultof revotes from 2010/11 ($270k), the projected movement in unrestricted cash to 30 June 2012 is a $324k deterioration. Ignoring movements in trade debtors and creditors,Council should finish the year with approximately $3.4 million in unrestricted cash. This represents about 7%, or 4 weeks, of Council’s budgeted operating expenditure asper the 2012 Original Budget.
It is strongly recommended to Council that a balanced budget be maintained, and no further reductions in unrestricted cash be endorsed. This is to ensure that Council hassufficient unrestricted cash available to meet its debts and obligations, such as payroll and accounts payable, when they fall due.
The repair of damage from recent flooding is continuing, with grant funded works on roads, parks and drainage taking place this year – parks natural disaster recoveryworks of $614k has been recognised in the proposed variations.
The additional maintenance to roads budget of $1.05M has been allocated to specific works as reported to Council in March 2011, including $400k to resheeting; $210k forthe new drainage crew and works; and $100k for Culvert Replacements. An additional $100k has been allocated to match grant funding for rehabilitation works on LoueeRd.

Additional income in Development Control ($8k) and Regulatory Control ($4k) has contributed to a favourable variation for the September quarter. Additional GeneralPurpose Financial Assistance Grants received ($15k) have also contributed, with a further $144k in Roads Financial Assistance going towards Local Urban Maintenance.
Significant variations proposed as part of the September Quarterly Review are: Favourable (F), Unfavourable (U), Contra (C)
Reallocation of additional road maintenance funding $710k F
Increase in drainage maintenance and local unsealed road resheeting $710k U

Water FundCouncil finished the 2011 financial year with a Water Fund cash balance of $3.461 million, which includes $1.657 million of developer contributions, $11k of unspent grantsand $2.941 million of reserves. This leaves an unrestricted Water Fund cash balance of ($1.149M).
The Original Budget for 2012 estimates an increase of $1,422k to unrestricted cash; a reduction in Water Reserves of $897k; and a reduction of S64 holdings of $360k.Council has since approved $205k of revotes funded from Reserves (nil impact on unrestricted cash).

Due to expenditure on the Mudgee Sewerage Augmentation of $69k over allocated budget in the 2010/11 year, a reduction of the allocated budget has been proposed inthe September Quarterly Review. This simply reflects a difference in timing of expenditure as this multi-year project progresses.
Increased development is also expected to have an impact on Sewerage S64 developer contributions with a proposed variation of $120k.

The Original Budget for 2012 estimated an increase of $226k to unrestricted cash. Also provided for in the Original Budget was an increase in Waste Reserves of $260k.Council has since approved $68k of revotes funded from unexpended contributions, and $173k of revotes funded from Waste Reserves. Neither of these variations have animpact on projected unrestricted cash balances. September Quarterly variations will have a positive impact on unrestricted cash of $4k.

Other FundsOther funds maintained by Council are:
Mudgee Showgrounds
Mudgee Sports Council
Private Works
Gulgong Sports Council
Saleyards
Rylstone Sports Council
The estimated income from Showground hire fees is proposed to be increased by $19k, providing an overall projected surplus of this fund at year end.

RESERVESDuring the period to the end of September Quarter, the anticipated closing balance of Reserves has increased by $755k compared to Original Budget, bringing the totalestimated decrease for the year to $4.729 million. An increase in projected land sales for the 2011/12 financial year has contributed to this movement, as well as a changein funding for the Ulan Rd/Pitts Lane works from reserve to RTA Block grant funding. Current reserves balances are higher than projected balances as capital works fundedfrom reserves are in their early stages and will continue throughout the year. Council must be very mindful of the impact on Reserves, and the ability to undertake futureyears’ projects, when considering any further expenditure proposals. Current and projected end of year Reserve balances are set out below.

This is made up of $700k for the Kandos Grandstand which is now proposed to be funded from S93FDeveloper Contributions and a reduction in loan drawdown amounts for the swimming pool as timing of works extends the required borrowings out to 2012/13.

Investment Portfolio Commentary
Benchmarking For the quarter ended 30 September 2011, Council’s return on investment portfolio of 5.28% exceeded the benchmark rate of 4.77% (90 Day Bank Bill Swap Rate). Performance of the portfolio is increasing as shorter term investments mature and have been replaced by a longer term, when possible, to take advantage of higher rates on offer in the 90 – 180 day bracket. Interest rates, on offer, have declined again after a brief increase last quarter. The cause is a continued unsteady international economy, and a reduction in the expected future performance of the Australian economy. Rates on offer from most banks have been declining, even with a steady Reserve Bank Cash Rate. Deposits are currently being targeted at around the 90 day rate. The official cash rate is currently 4.75% with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) holding steady since November 2010. Council is on target to meet annual budgeted interest revenue. The two graphs presented below demonstrate the performance of Council’s portfolio for the year to date against the benchmarks of budgeted interest income and the 90 Day Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW).

Commentary
At its most recent meeting in October the Reserve Bank left its cash rate unchanged for what is now eleven consecutive months, citing continued unsettled conditions in global financial markets and increasing uncertainty in the outlook for global financial growth. However, Australian economic activity is expected to continue its acceleration, as coal exports are recovering and activity is boosted by reconstruction following the natural disasters earlier in the year. In regard to inflation the RBA states: “Taking into account all the recent information, the path for inflation may now be more consistent with the 2–3 per cent target in 2012 and 2013, abstracting from the impact of the carbon pricing scheme.” Looking ahead, interest rates are expected to remain stagnant in the short term with incremental increases previously forecast by mid 2011, now not expected until 2012. Interest rates on offer have recently reduced for longer term deposits, reflecting the economic uncertainty long term.
The Australian dollar (AUD) temporarily came under pressure in the September quarter, losing parity with the US dollar (USD) and falling below $0.94 USD – the lowest in over a year – but has since recovered to above parity. The fall was influenced by heightened concern over global growth, as well as by comments from the RBA that it was open to the possibility of rate cuts. The latest available data shows that housing finance for owner-occupied housing (not including refinancing) rose by 1 % in August, the fifth consecutive monthly increase. On an annual basis, however, new loans were down 0.6%, and the number of housing loans to owner-occupiers remains low compared to historical data. Growth in employment declined in July and August, but showed a marked increase in September; overall, this has kept the unemployment rate at the little changed average of around 5%. However, annual pace of job growth is sitting at a mere 1.1% for September, which is the lowest since November 2009. According to the Reserve Bank, the current economic conditions can be summed up as follows: “Australia's terms of trade are very high, which has increased national income considerably. Investment in the resources sector is picking up very strongly and some related service sectors are enjoying better than average conditions. In other sectors, cautious behaviour by households and the earlier rise in the exchange rate have had a noticeable dampening effect. The impetus from earlier Australian Government spending programs is now also abating, as had been intended. While there remain good reasons to expect solid growth over the medium term, the indications are that the pace of near-term growth is unlikely to be as strong as earlier expected, due both to local and global factors, including the financial turmoil and related effects on business confidence.“ Sources: Reserve Bank of Australia Media Release 2011-15, St George Bank Monthly Economic Outlook Reports, Bureau of Statistics for CPI & historical data.
