Summary: This report recommends that the 2020/21 Draft Budget and assoicated budget schedules for the year ending 30 June 2021 be presented to Council for adoption.

Background: A series of budget workshops involving the Council, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior staff and contractors has been conducted. These workshops concluded with a review of a line by line document detailing both the capital projects and operating expenditure items included in this budget. On the 8 May 2020 the Local Government (COVID-19 Response) Ministerial Order 2020 was gazetted in accordance with section 10.3 of the Local Government Act 1995. This Order will have implications for how Local Governments make rating and budget decisions, including the adoption of penalty interest rates for overdue debts. Comment: In addition to rates for each assessable property, specified area rates for those properties in the area serviced by the Coolgardie sewerage scheme, and charges for kerbside bin services for townsite residential properties will be set. Rate notices may identify up to four different line item charges. These are

• Rates

• Kerbside Rubbish

• Emergency Service Levy

• Sewerage Rates (for the Coolgardie Townsite)


Rates Normally Council would give local public notice under section 6.36 of the Local Government Act 1995 of the intention to apply a differential rate. However the Order which came into effect on 8 May 2020, is intended to assist ratepayers that have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and will directly assist local governments through removing red tape and compliance requirements that are not considered necessary while local governments and the community deal with the pandemic. Specifically, local governments that resolve to freeze their rates in the dollar are being released from the requirement to obtain Ministerial approval for differential rates if they obtained Ministerial approval for the 2019/20 rates. The Order also recognises that the process of advertising and seeking submissions for a minimum of 21 days is not required for local governments that resolve to set differential general rates and minimum payments at a level no higher than the 2019/20 rates will not have to comply with this requirement. Budgeted revenue from rates will increase from $7,147,278 to $8,301,468 representing an increase of 16.1% in overall yield. This does not mean that all rate accounts are affected in the same way. The rate in the dollar for General GRV and UV Pastoral Rural has remained the same as last year, while the rate in the dollar for UV Mining has actually decreased by 1.5%. The yield increase of $1,154,190 is due to increases in mining, rural and GRV properties The minimum rates will be set at $708, $437 and $684 respectively, which remain the same as the 2019/20 financial year. Of the 44 properties rated as Rural UV, 14 attract the minimum rate of $684. The remaining property owners will have the opportunity of applying for a concession to further reduce their rates. Ratepayers who opt to make their payments by four instalments will pay the full rate, plus interest calculated daily on the outstanding amount after the due date for payment by a single instalment. Unimproved Rates (UV) As mentioned earlier, differential rating for the 2020/21 financial year were not advertised as per the Local Government (COVID-19 Response) Ministerial Order 2020 since Council resolved at the June Ordinary Council Meeting to set differential general rates and minimum payments at a level no higher than the 2019/20 rates. Below is a table showing the rate in the dollar and minimum rates for rate categories that have different rating which shows that these parameters have not increased. The rate in the dollar for UV Mining has decreased by 1.5%.

Unimproved Value - Mining 21.7160 446 22.0435 437

Unimproved Value – Pastoral/Rural 11.0513 697 11.0513 684

Property owners who hold Department of Transport certification as a bona fide prospector may apply for a concession. The concession will be capped at 20% of the rate levied or the minimum rate whichever is the greater Property owners rated as UV Rural who can demonstrate that the property is used for rural pursuits which do not support mining or other non-rural commercial activities may apply for a concession of up to 50% of the rate in the dollar to a minimum rate payable not less than the set minimum rate for this category.


All applications for concessions must be received before the due date for the payment of rates (35 days after the date of issue). Gross Rental Value (GRV) A single rate in the dollar of 7.6107 is proposed for all GRV rateable properties. A minimum of $708 is proposed. Sporting groups and charitable organisations may apply to Council for a rates concession of up to 100% of rates as per Council Policy Rates Exemption 011. These concessions are applicable from the date of Council approval.

The table shows the valuations applied by percentage. This is indicative only, as the basis for valuations for UV and GRV is different.

The table shows the percentage of rates levied for each of the rate codes. This clearly demonstrates the importance of the mining sector to the Shire. It also indicates the lack of diversity that is a part of a single sector economy. Emergency Service Levy The Emergency Services Levy is set by the State and collection by Local Government. This year the levy is $84 (2019/20: $84) for most properties. The levy is applied to all properties and mining leases.

The Shire receives an annual grant for bush fire and emergency services of $7,130 (2019/20: $12,500). However, it must be noted that the levy funds are for both the Kambalda and Coolgardie Fire and Rescue Services and the State Emergency Service in Kalgoorlie which also serves our towns. St Johns Ambulance Service is not funded by this levy. Wastewater Scheme - Coolgardie The source of power to raise a general rate for the wastewater scheme in Coolgardie is: Under section 41 of the Health (MP) Act, a local government has the power to impose an annual ‘sanitary rate’ – ‘For the purpose of providing for the proper performance of all or any of the services mentioned in section 112 [which includes ‘the collection and disposal of sewage’], and the maintenance of any sewerage works constructed by the local government under Part IV’. That annual rate cannot exceed 12 cents in the dollar on the gross rental value (or 3 cents in the dollar on any improved value of the land). Recent changes to regulations have dramatically increased the cost of compliance for this service. Over the past three years, rates for this service have increased to ensure that this service continues to be managed to an appropriate standard. There continues to be a gap between revenue raised via the sanitary rate and costs to provide the service.

The estimated revenue for the 2020/21 financial year is $295,184 from the sanitary charges and $15,000 from the pedestal charges, totalling $310,184 (2019/20: $281,783). The estimated expenditure for 2019/20 is $362,606. This represents a budgeted reduction in expenditure of 22% from the actual cost incurred of $465,914 in 2019/20.

It is estimated that the reuse of water from the sewerage plant saves more than $40,000 annually on water charges from Water Corp. The treated water from this service is used to reticulate many of the green spaces in the Coolgardie town site. Given this saving and revenue generated the budgeted gap between expenditure of $362,606 and revenue/savings of $350,184 is just over $10,000 for the 2020/21 financial year, which is down by $170,000 in 2019/20.

Given the reuse of water generates annual savings, the Council is of the opinion an annual transfer of just in excess of $40,000 should be made to the sewerage reserve. It is estimated the reserve will have a balance of $114,718 at the 30 June 2021.

The rate in the dollar for the Coolgardie townsite scheme remains unchanged at 5.4740 cents in the dollar for the 2020/21 financial year.


Pedestal Charge In 2016/2017 the Shire charged a pedestal fee of $189 under section 6.37 of the Local Government Act. Having received advice, the primary source of power for the Shire to impose any proposed ‘pedestal fee’ is section 106 of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1911 (Health (MP) Act). Section 106(1) states – ‘The local government may, in lieu of, or in addition to a sanitary rate, provide for the proper disposal of sewage, whether within the district or not, by making an annual charge per pan or other receptacle, payable in one sum or by equal monthly or other instalments in advance, in respect of every house or place provided with the service’. Among the qualifications and other provisions of section 106(2)-(8) are – (1) the charge must be levied on either the owner or occupier ‘of every house in which such pan or other receptacle is in use’; (2) notice of the charge may be included in the rates notice; (3) the charge may be limited to premises in a particular portion of the Shire’s district; (4) the charge may be levied in respect of premises that are not rateable (as well as in respect of premises that are rateable); and (5) with the approval of the Chief Health Officer, the Shire may ‘make different charges for services rendered in different portions of its district’. It follows that, subject to these provisions, the Shire has the power to impose an annual charge of the type that you have proposed – although it should be referred to as a pedestal (or pan) charge (rather than a ‘fee’) imposed under section 106 of the Health (MP) Act

A pedestal charge of $200 per pedestal will be imposed in 2020/21 (2019/20: $200). There is no change to the method of rating for this service.

The total budgeted revenue to be raised this year is estimated to be $15,000 (2019/20: $9,200).

Rubbish Service The charge for weekly verge pickup will remain unchanged at $314 (GST Exclusive). Tip fees and charges are budgeted to bring in $728,240 (2019/20: $740,627). The budgeted cost of the service, which includes the contract for the kerbside pickup and the operation of the tips at Kambalda and Coolgardie, is $940,873, representing a gap of $212,633.

Each residential bin service will receive vouchers for the disposal of waste at the Kambalda and Coolgardie Tip Sites. These vouchers will be distributed with the annual rates notice. Users without vouchers may purchase vouchers from the Kambalda Recreation Centre in Kambalda, or the Coolgardie Community Recreation Centre in Coolgardie.

Fees and Charges Fees and Charges for the year 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020 will remain unchanged from the 2019/20 financial year.


Summary The 2020/2021 budget concentrates on core services, efficiencies, an extensive array of community initiatives and renewal and maintenance of the Shires many assets. The Shire intends in consultation with the mining industry, to rate capital improvements consisting of accommodation, administration facilities, associated buildings, and maintenance workshops during the 2020/2021 year. In addition to Rate revenue, the Shire will again receive both Federal and State Government Grants and contributions from other sources. This is estimated to be $1.29 million. Total Non- Operating Grants this year are $5.6 million. These grants will be used for the renewal of the Coolgardie Community Hub, Research and Development Facility at the Coolgardie Tip Site and constructions works on Coolgardie North Road, Jaurdi Hills Road and the Coolgardie Tip site Road Junction The balance of the Shires income is made up of fees and charges for the use of the Shires facilities, interest and other general revenue. The Shire road network will benefit this year with over $2.6 million to be spent on road renewal and almost $665,000 on road maintenance. The Shire will undertake the renewal of Coolgardie North Road, Coolgardie Tip Road, Cave Hill Road and the Realignment of Jaurdi Hills Road. Works will also commence on the Coolgardie Community Hub estimated at $1.5 million for 2020/2021. An allowance of $996,000 has been made for the redevelopment of the Coolgardie Tip Site into a Class 3 Facility. A further $1.5 million has been allocated for the development of a research and development facility at the Coolgardie Tip Site. An allowance of $40,000 has also been made to advance land development opportunities such as industrial land and the Coolgardie horse blocks as well as an allowance of $450,000 to facilitate remediation at the Kambalda Tip Site. The Shire is extremely proud to have a total capital expenditure programme of $9.4 million for the 2020/2021 year.

All land (other than exempt land) in the Shire of Coolgardie is rated according to its Gross Rental Value (GRV) in townsites or Unimproved Value (UV) in the

remainder of the Shire of Coolgardie.

The general rates detailed for the 2020/21 financial year have been determined by Council on the basis of raising the revenue required to meet the deficiency between the

total estimated expenditure proposed in the budget and the estimated revenue to be received from all sources other than rates and also considering the extent of any increase

in rating over the level adopted in the previous year.

The minimum rates have been determined by Council on the basis that all ratepayers must make a reasonable contribution to the cost of local government services/facilities.

LEASES

At the inception of a contract, the Shire assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an

identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the commencement date, a right-of-use asset is recognised at cost and a lease liability.

at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments

are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined.

If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Shire uses its incremental borrowing rate.

INTERESTS IN JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

Joint 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.

Joint venture operations represent arrangements whereby

joint operators maintain direct interests in each asset

and exposure to each liability of the arrangement. The

Shire of Coolgardie’s interests in the assets

liabilities revenue and expenses of joint operations are

included in the respective line items of the financial

statements.

The Shire together with the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder, and the Shires of Dundas, Esperance, Laverton, Leonara,

Menzies, Ngaanyatjarraku, Ravensthorpe and Wiluna, have a joint venture arrangement for the provision of regional

records service. The assets included in the joint venture recorded at the Shire's one-tenth share are as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of a budget in conformity with Australian

Accounting Standards requires management to make

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
