31. Provisions (continued)<br />

Weathertight Homes<br />

The <strong>Council</strong> through its insurers is processing a number of weathertight<br />

home claims. Provision has been made within the accounts<br />

for the estimated cost of known claims currently outstanding. The<br />

<strong>Council</strong> has no reliable means of estimating what claims may be<br />

lodged prior to the cut-off date in 2015. In 2009 RiskPool made a<br />

call on the <strong>Council</strong> for $0.2 million being its share of a deficit in<br />

RiskPool’s funds for the years 2002-03 and 2003-04 and a further<br />

call was made in <strong>2010</strong> of $1.1 million covering the exposure through<br />

to June 2013. The $1.1 million was treated as a prepayment.<br />

Provision has been made for the estimated cost of known claims<br />

based on the average actual settlement costs.<br />
