Rates Arrears Ratio calculations have changed for 2005/06 and therefore should not be compared to previous years.
For some Councils rate and utility debtors are Not comprised entirely of rate arrears. A proportion may relate to current rates accounts
(eg. for supplementary rate Notices issued in June 2003 or pensioner rebate amounts outstanding from the State).
¥ Actual ratio is 2.3% but is distorted by the vact that due to a change in Council Policy, water usage is Now levied in arrears rather than in
advance
Ratio for 2003/04 may be slightly distorted due to variance from previous year's definition for net rate revenue.
* Aurukun and Mornington do Not have any rateable properties. As such, community levies are charged instead of rates.
< Calculation for 2003/04 includes an amount for the first round of water consumption charges under a two part tariff. Prior to this water charge
were issued well prior to 30th June.
Total Depreciation and Unfunded Depreciation includes prior year adjustments for Roads. Road network will undergo a review during
2002/03 to determine correct depreciation.
+ Ratio distorted due to inclusion of water consumption charges and special water charges accrued but Not yet in arrears. (If affected amount
was excluded, the ratio of rate arrears would be approximately 8% for 2000/01 and 1999/00).
# Non-current assets were revalued at 30 June 2002 leading to a significant loss on revaluation of some classes of assets and increments in
other classes.
& The significant write down in Community Equity primarily related to an extensive review of the values attributed to road infrastructure.
Significant increase due to unfunded depreciation including an amount for depreciation charged on road seals from 1 July 1998 to 30 June
2001 as depreciation had Not previously been recognised for this item in the financial statements. The depreciation charged on the seals
during this time was included as a separate line item in the statements.
Significant increase due to large recoverable works accounts outstanding

This figure is low due to the high capitalisation of wages resulting in reduced wages and salaries.
During the course of a year Council experiences a substantial rise and fall in its FTE workforce due to the wet and dry seasonal effect on its road construction/maintenance. The figures provided are as at end of June, around the
peak of the Council's workforce, but FTE will fall by approximately 20 over the wet season.
' Based on estimated total working hours per annum.
This figure is low due to the inclusion of extraordinarily high operating expenditure for 2000/01, which includes a loss on revaluation of Non current assets of $8,032,000. The estimated comparable figure is 39.2%.
