Organisational Performance
Moira Shire Council’s financial performance is detailed in the audited financial statements, included in the Annual Report. In summary, Council reported an operating surplus of $15.44 million, greater than the forecasted result in the adopted budget largely due to the early receipt of 100% of the 2023/24 Federal Financial Assistance Grant, capital asset contributions from developers for new residential estates bring greater than budget and operating expenses being maintained within 1% of budget.
The Report of Operations details progress on major initiatives and provides the results of strategic indicators and various service indicators. The audited performance statement provides the results of sustainable capacity indicators, specific service performance indicators and financial performance indicators. The financial performance indicators show Council to be in a satisfactory underlying financial position as at 30 June 2023.
