Explanation of significant cost of service variances<br />
Residual waste collection and disposal was $2.1 million more than<br />
plan. The main variances were higher landfill aftercare costs ($1.4<br />
million), higher volumes of waste to landfill ($0.5 million), lower<br />
rubbish bag sales within the CBD ($0.5 million) and reduced waste<br />
minimisation levy ($0.2 million). Offsetting these were reduced<br />
depreciation expense ($0.5 million) and lower CBD collection costs<br />
($0.3 million).<br />
Organic material collection and composting was $1.2 million less<br />
than plan. This was due to reduced collection and processing<br />
costs and higher uptake of enhanced bin services ($0.2 million<br />
additional revenue).<br />
The 2009/10 year is the first full year of operation of the three<br />
bin system as the system was rolled out progressively from<br />
February 2009.<br />
Significant capital expenditure<br />
$2.2 million was spent on the final stage of the Landfill Gas Pipeline<br />
to connect to the new Civic offices and Art Gallery.<br />
Explanation of significant capital expenditure variances<br />
The Landfill Gas Pipeline expenditure was not originally included<br />
in the current plan. It was funded from a re-allocation of funds from<br />
the wastewater collection & treatment activity within the prior year<br />
budget.<br />
The prior year expenditure included $21.9 million relating to the<br />
construction and fit-out of the new composting facility and $0.5<br />
million of start-up costs for the roll-out of the three bin system.
