The percentage <strong>of</strong> rates, charges and fees that are unpaid at the end <strong>of</strong> a financial year is a measure <strong>of</strong> how well a <strong>Council</strong> is managing debt recovery.<br />
Ku-ring-gai has a strong commitment to maintaining the lowest possible rates, charges and fees outstanding. This has resulted in a ratio <strong>of</strong> 3.21% for Ku-ring-gai<br />
for outstanding rates, charges and fees. The Group 3 <strong>Council</strong>s average was 3.79% and neighbouring <strong>Council</strong>s average was 2.93%. Within neighbouring <strong>Council</strong>s<br />
North Sydney had the lowest ratio at 1.16% while Pittwater had the highest at 4.67%.<br />
The average for NSW <strong>Council</strong>s is 4.9%. In previous years this indicator included fees. As items such as RTA payments distort this indicator, fees have been<br />
removed for 2004/05. The lowest percentage achieved by a NSW <strong>Council</strong> was 1.16% (North Sydney) and the highest was 16.2% (Brewarrina).<br />
Factors influencing this indicator are: the council’s rating policy, level <strong>of</strong> reliance on other revenue sources, the level <strong>of</strong> cash reserves, cash management and timing<br />
<strong>of</strong> cash flows, credit management policies, socioeconomic characteristics <strong>of</strong> the area, the physical size <strong>of</strong> the council and environmental factors.<br />
