Debt Service Ratio This indicator is expressed as a percentage and is calculated by: Principal plus Interest Payments Total Revenue less Specific Purpose Grants & Contributions Debt Service Ratio Group 3 Councils Debt Service Ratio Neighbouring Councils 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 4.00% 3.00% 2.00% 1.00% 0.00% Ku-ring-gai Bankstown Blacktown Canterbury Fairfield Holroyd Hurstville Marrickville Parramatta Randwick Rockdale Ryde Sutherland Warringah This indicator assesses the degree to which revenues from ordinary activities are committed to the repayment of debt. Ku-ring-gai’s debt service ratio of 4.40% in 2004/2005 demonstrates a significant improvement over the previous year when 5.55% was recorded. Within the Group 3 Councils, Blacktown and Randwick Councils are debt free which has the effect of lowering the average debt service ratio to 3.37%. When comparing to neighbouring Councils, Ku-ring-gai’s debt service ratio was second to Hornsby, while Lane Cove had the lowest ratio at 0.01%. NSW Urban Councils average debt service ratio was 4.65%. The highest ratio recorded in NSW was 21.43% (Coffs Harbour). There are fifteen NSW Councils that are debt free. 10.00% 9.00% 8.00% 7.00% 6.00% 5.00% 4.00% 3.00% 2.00% 1.00% 0.00% Ku-ring-gai Hornsby Pittwater Ryde Warringah Willoughby Lane Cove North Sydney Factors that can affect this indicator are rate of new development, interest rate movements and loan terms and the infrastructure/life stage of assets. Council’s 10 year financial model includes initiatives to reduce Council’s borrowing costs and indebtedness. These initiatives will cause an improvement in this ratio in the coming years.

Ku-ring-gai’s equivalent full time staff totalled 463, which is below the Group 3 Councils average of 631. The highest number of staff employed of the Group 3 Councils was Sutherland who employed 1350, while Hurstville employs the least at 301. When compared with neighbouring Councils, Ku-ring-gai has the fourth highest (behind Ryde, Warringah and Hornsby) number of equivalent full time staff. Lane Cove employed 174 staff, which was the lowest number employed by a neighbouring Council while Hornsby employed the highest at 585 staff. The lowest number of staff employed by a NSW Council is 29 (Urana) while the highest is 1,443 (Sydney). The number of staff is affected by factors such as: organisation structure, the level of outsourcing, Councils budgets and the type and extent of service delivery provided to the community.
