• While consistently maintaining a cash operating surplus the City has
had an overall operating deficit for a number of years.
• This is not a sustainable position.
• Budget process includes review of all opportunities for alternative
sources of revenue while expenditure is constantly reviewed for
opportunities for more efficient and effective delivery of services,
facilities, works and projects.
• The 2018-19 Budget includes improvements to both revenue and
expenditure with an ongoing (recurring) impact of over $400,000 per
annum.2018-19 Budget Highlights Employee Costs • It is the nature of the business of local government that it is employee intensive and employee costs represent a significant component of costs. Many services that are provided are mandated by legislation but others are discretionary and driven by resident demand. • In 2018-19 the proposed budget increase for employee costs is only 0.9% compared to the adopted 2017-18 Budget.

2018-19 Budget Highlights Employee Costs
Summary The overall rate increase for the 2018-19 Budget is 2.95% together with a 0% increase in refuse charges for the fourth consecutive year a net 2.3%. The 2018-19 Budget has been very challenging with the prevailing economic conditions and at the same time the need to continue addressing the City’s operating deficit. Maintaining an operating deficit is not sustainable in the long term even though the City continues to generate a cash operating surplus. This budget has delivered an improvement to the operating deficit with the City having taken initiatives in the 2018-19 Budget to reduce recurring expenditure and reduce some programs and in some cases, introduce fees or increase existing fees for services and access to facilities to alleviate the burden on ratepayers.
Summary cont. These and further initiatives will continue into the 2019-20 Budget and future budgets until the operating budget deficit has been eliminated. The City will strive to achieve this whilst maintaining alignment to the City’s Strategic Community Plan, Joondalup 2022, to ensure the City is delivering on the vision of “A global City: bold, creative and prosperous” and will be guided by the City’s 20 Year Strategic Financial Plan.
