THE YEAR AHEAD
During the 2012/2013 financial year, all Western Australian local governments were required
to develop and adopt a number of documents which together formed an Integrated Planning
and Reporting Framework. These documents included a Strategic Community Plan, a
Corporate Business Plan, a Workforce Plan, a 10 Year Financial Plan and associated Asset
Management Plans.
The City of Stirling’s 2013/2014 financial year Budget is the first developed with reference to
the new Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and incorporates those projects and
activities identified to continue, commence or be finalised during the year.
With the economy slowing and the economies of scale that the City enjoys, there are
opportunities to minimise cost increases which have a direct effect on the revenue required
from rates and other charges. This year will see general and minimum rates increase by
3.49% with no increase in the domestic refuse collection charges which remain at 2012/2013
levels. The security charge will increase by $1 to $28. Overall, a general rate account with a
240 litre domestic waste service and security charge will increase by 2.81%.
The changes in the City’s general rates and charges are summarised below.
Average Rates & Charges Yr 2012/13 Yr 2013/14 Increase Increase
Average Rates $ 1,102.45 $ 1,140.93 $ 38.48 3.49%
Domestic Waste Collection $ 278.00 $ 278.00 0.00 0.00%
Security $ 27.00 $ 28.00 $ 1.00 3.70%
Total $ 1,407.45 $ 1,446.93 $ 39.48 2.81%
In the case of minimum rated properties, the overall increase is only 2.59%.
The City is working closely with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority to progress the
major redevelopment along the Scarborough Beachfront.
The City has also budgeted to undertake the following major projects:
Completion of a new multi use pavilion at the Grenville Reserve, Tuart Hill.
Construction of a multi purpose community pavilion at Charles Riley Reserve, North
Beach.
Construct new toilets/change rooms at Celebration Park, Balga.
Refurbish the Jim Satchell Recreation Centre, Dianella.
The City will also spend significant funds on the maintenance and improvement of its
infrastructure. This includes:
$28.2M on roads, drainage and footpaths
$7.7M of new works on parks and reserves
$12.8M of capital building works.
The City’s prudent Budget for 2013/2014 delivers a high level of services while the City
remains debt free. It also provides the flexibility to fund a range of exciting major projects that
will present a variety of long term benefits to the City in a sustainable manner.

REPORTING REGIME
In August 2003 the City reconfigured its Management structure to a more streamlined
Business Unit format aimed at introducing a more accountable and commercialised approach
to the management of Council business. In March 2005, the Building, Planning and Health
departments restructured to form a Policy and Strategic Development Unit (now known as
City Planning), an Approvals Unit and a Health and Compliance Unit. This structure is aimed
at improving customer service and reducing delays in providing Building and Planning
approvals. The City's overall structure is focused on enabling the City to operate in an
environment of contestability and accountability.
The Statutory Reporting formats focus on the prime financial statements, namely:-
Comprehensive Income Statements
- by Nature and Type
- by Programme
Statement of Cash Flows
Rate Setting Statement
Statement of Rating Information
Statement of Non Operating Expenditures
On 1 July 2003, the City introduced new core information systems which revolutionised the
way business is undertaken. The systems currently utilised:-
Technology 1 Enterprise Suite – Financials
a commercial accounting package
Property 1 – Ci
a state-of-the-art property system
Technology 1 Enterprise Suite – Works & Assets
an operating asset management system
Technology 1 Enterprise Content Management
a document management system
Alesco
a human resource/payroll system
Assetic SAM
a strategic asset management system
These systems permitted the City to develop budget concepts that support the City’s
strategic plan whilst providing services with a commercial focus. Technology 1 Enterprise
Suite – Financials has been developed to accommodate the Directorate/Business Unit format
with the aim of driving budgetary control down to the areas which manage those businesses.
In addition to the Statutory Reporting formats the City compiles reports which are focussed
on the business operations and are used by the various Directorates and Business Units to
ensure budget accountability and control.

Background
The City’s 2013/14 Municipal Budget and related documentation has been formulated by the
City’s Business Units and Executive with consideration and input by Councillors at four
dedicated workshops between April and June 2013.
It is the culmination of six months work by staff from all Business Units within the City and
subsequent review, discussion and input by Councillors through the workshop sessions.
The City of Stirling is the largest Local Government in Western Australia based on population
with an overall revenue and expenditure budget in 2013/14 of $259.9M.
In broad terms the 2013/14 Budget consists of:
$195.5M Operating Expenditure
$ 64.4M Capital Expenditure
$ 5.3M Net Transfer from Reserves
In 2013/14 the City of Stirling will raise $115.3M from general rate revenue.
The 2013/14 rate-in-the-$ is proposed to be :-
Gross Rental Value 5.277 cents in the $ of Gross Rental Valuation.
25

This represents an average increase of 3.5% over 2012/13. Minimum Payments will also
rise 3.5% to $763 rounded to the nearest dollar. The special minimum for Parkland Villas
Retirement Village high care apartments increases to $693.
Specified Area Rates are:
Mirrabooka Trades Area 3.71 cents in the $ of Gross Rental Valuation.
Refuse Collection Charges have not increased over last year. This is due in part to the
reduction in bulk rubbish collections introduced in 2012/2013. The refuse collection charges
are proposed to be :-
120L Bin $221.50
240L Bin $278.00
480L Bin $368.00
720L Bin $458.00
Shared 240L Bin $221.50
Bulk Bin 120L Service $221.50
Bulk Bin 240L Service $278.00
The City’s debt free policy continues with no provision in 2013/14 to borrow funds for works.
The Capital Works Programme of $86.8M (inclusive of $22.4M provisional carried forward
works) is dissected as follows.
$M
Engineering 34,322,586
Parks and Reserve 10,161,244
Building 22,871,505
Corporate Projects 4,930,650
Fleet and Plant 9,918,652
Information Technology 1,421,960
Other 3,156,807
Total $86,783,413
An estimated surplus of $12.1M is projected for the 2012/2013 financial year, which includes
50% of the 2013/2014 financial assistance grants which are to be paid to the City in the last
few days of June. Any difference between the projected surplus and that realised will be
attended to as part of the mid year budget review.
Property Rates have been increased by 3.5%. For non minimum rated properties, the
average increase in total charges raised by the City, consisting of rates, rubbish service and
security service, will be 2.8% and where the property is minimum rated the overall increase is
2.6%.
This years Budget provides for $28.2M of new expenditure on the City’s road network. This
includes $12.3M on road upgrades, construction and resurfacing. $5.4M will be spent on
drainage, $3.8M on traffic management, $2.4M on footpath construction and $2.6M on rights
of way upgrading.
Parks and Reserves will benefit from $7.7M of new works including $2.4M on paths and
paving and $1.4M on irrigation replacement. Other amounts are allowed for revegetation
($0.5M), lighting and electrical work ($0.7M) and landscaping and general reserve
development ($0.6M).
The City’s new capital building programme includes $1.4M funding to complete the new multi
use pavilion at Grenville Reserve, $4.0M has been provided towards a new multi use
community pavilion at Charles Riley Reserve and $0.5M to construct new toilet/change room
facilities at Celebration Park. Other funding has been provided for the refurbishment of the
26

Jim Satchell recreation centre in Dianella, a toilet in Morris Place, Innaloo and the
multicultural centre in Mirrabooka. There is also funding for a number of other minor capital
upgrades, refurbishments, disability access, air conditioning, health and safety initiatives and
energy efficiencies in the City’s buildings.
The Mirrabooka regional centre improvement works are currently on hold while the impact of
the proposed light rail line is considered.
With the State Government’s recent commitment to part fund and have the Metropolitan
Redevelopment Authority progress works in Scarborough, it is expected that the
Scarborough Environs Area Strategy (SEAS) will receive the much needed resources to
progress an enhancement of the Scarborough Beach front.
The 2013/14 Budget provides sufficient funding to ensure the current levels and number of
services provided by the City is maintained. There are continuing upward pressures on the
cost of providing all facilities and services and every effort has been made to keep increases
in charges to the minimum.
This years Budget includes Service Charges and allocations to facilitate the undergrounding
of power in the Coolbinia area. The Coolbinia State Underground Power Project will
commence in July 2013 and will cost the City $3,244,717. This will be raised from property
owners in the project area by way of Service Charges which depend on their KVA supply and
network connection requirements. Prompt payment discounts are proposed in addition to
instalment arrangements up to 7 years. Under new legislation, eligible pensioners will be
able to obtain State Government funded rebates.
The 2013/2014 Draft Budget is recommended to Council for adoption.

2013/2014

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE 2013/14 BUDGET
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant policies which have been adopted in the preparation of these Budget
Statements are:
a) Basis of Accounting
These statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards which outline a framework for the preparation and
presentation of Financial Statements and the report incorporates other
mandatory professional reporting requirements of the Local Government Act
1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended). The report
has also been prepared on the accrual basis under the convention of historical
cost accounting modified where applicable, by the measurement at fair value
of selected non-current assets, financial assets and liabilities.
b) Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting
Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The results of this experience and other factors combine to
form the basis of making judgements about carrying values of assets and
liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
c) The Local Government Reporting Entity
All funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions
have been included in the financial statements forming part of this financial
report.
In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all
transactions and balances between those funds (for example, loans and
transfers between funds) have been eliminated.
All monies held in Trust Funds are excluded from the financial statements.
d) 2012/2013 Actual Balances
Balances shown in this budget as 2012/2013 Actuals are as forecast at
the time of budget preparation and are subject to final adjustment.
Page 40

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
(e)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and municipal fund bank
account that are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash
and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values.
(f)
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Inventories are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the
next 12 months.
(g)
Fixed Assets
Each class of fixed assets is carried at cost or fair value as indicated, less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss.
Effective from 1 July 2012, the Local Government (Financial Management)
Regulations were amended and the measurement of non-current assets at
Fair Value became mandatory.
The amendments allow for a phasing in of fair value in relation to fixed assets
over three years as follows:
(a) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2013, the fair value of all of the
assets of the local government that are plant and equipment; and
(b) for the financial year ending on 30 June 2014, the fair value of all of the
assets of the local government –
(i) that are plant and equipment; and
(ii) that are –
(I) land and buildings; or
(II) infrastructure;
and
(c) for a financial year ending on or after 30 June 2015, the fair value of all of
the assets of the local government.
The City of Stirling has commenced the process of adopting Fair Value in
accordance with the Regulations
(i)
Land Under Control
In accordance with Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation
16(a), the Council is required to include as an asset (by 30 June 2013), Crown
Land operated by the local government as a golf course, showground,
racecourse or other sporting or recreational facility of state or regional
significance.
Upon initial recognition, these assets were recorded at cost in accordance
with AASB 116. They are then classified as Land and will be revalued along
with other land in accordance with the City’s policies. Whilst they were initially
recorded at cost, fair value at the date of acquisition is deemed cost as per
AASB 116.
Page 41

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
Consequently, these assets were initially recognised at cost but will be
revalued along with other items of Land and Buildings by 30 June 2014.
(ii)
Easements
Due to legislative changes, Local Government (Financial Management)
Regulation 16(b), easements are required to be recognised as assets. They
are initially recognised at cost and have an indefinite useful life.
(iii) Initial Recognition
All assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value
of the assets given as consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition.
The cost of non-current assets constructed by the Council includes the cost of
all materials used in construction, direct labour on the project and an
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised
as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Council and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are
recognised as expenses in the statement of comprehensive income in the
period in which they are incurred.
(iv) Revaluation
When performing a revaluation, the Council uses a mix of both independent
and management valuations using the following as a guide: Revalued assets
are carried at their fair value being the price that would be received to sell the
asset, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. For land and buildings, fair value will be determined based
on the nature of the asset class. For land and non-specialised buildings, fair
value is determined on the basis of observable open market values of similar
assets, adjusted for conditions and comparability at their highest and best use.
With regards to specialised buildings, fair value is determined having regard
for current replacement including construction costs based on recent contract
prices, current condition, residual values and remaining useful life
assessments.
Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the
carrying values are not materially different from fair value. For infrastructure
and other asset classes where no active market exists, fair value is
determined to be the current replacement cost of an asset less, where
applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to
reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of assets are credited
to a revaluation surplus in equity. Decreases that offset previous increases in
the same asset class are recognised against revaluation surplus directly in
equity. All other decreases are recognised comprehensive income statement.
Page 42

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is adjusted against
the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the
revalued amount of the same asset class.
In addition, the amendments to the Financial Management Regulations
mandating the use of Fair Value imposes a further minimum 3 year
revaluation requirement. As a minimum, all assets carried at a revalued
amount, will be revalued at least every 3 years.
Transitional Arrangements
During the time it takes to transition the carrying value of non-current assets
from the cost approach to the fair value approach, the Council may still be
utilising both methods across differing asset classes. Those assets carried at
cost will be carried in accordance with the policy detailed in the Initial
Recognition section as detailed above. Those assets carried at fair value will
be carried in accordance with the Revaluation section as detailed above.
The City of Stirling will be undertaking the revaluation of assets over the next
three years, however the 2013/2014 budget does not include any revaluation
costs that may arise. Currently all assets are held at the acquisition cost less
accumulated depreciation.
(v)
Land Under Roads
In Western Australia, all land under roads is Crown land, the responsibility for
managing them is vested in the local government.
Effective as at 1 July 2008, the City of Stirling has elected not to recognise
land under roads as an asset in the Balance Sheet. This accords with the
treatment available in Australian Accounting Standard AASB 1051 Land
Under Roads and the fact Local Government (Financial Management)
Regulation 16(a)(i) prohibits local governments from recognising such land as
an asset.
In respect of land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008, as detailed
above, Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 16(a)(i)
prohibits local governments from recognising such land as an asset.
Whilst such treatment is inconsistent with the requirements of AASB 1051,
Local Government (Financial Management) Regulation 4(2) provides, in the
event of such an inconsistency, the Local Government (Financial
Management) Regulations prevail.
Consequently, any land under roads acquired on or after 1 July 2008 is not
included as an asset of the Council.
(vi)
Depreciation of Non-Current Assets
All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically
depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the
consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in those assets.
Page 43

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
Property, Plant and Equipment, including buildings but excluding freehold
land, reserves reticulation and other parks infrastructure are depreciated over
their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, using rates which are
reviewed each reporting period.. The carrying cost of infrastructure assets is
depreciated on an annual basis to reflect its expected life. The expected
useful lives are as follows:
The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset's carrying amount is
written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying
amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Property, Plant and Equipment are depreciated from the date of acquisition or,
in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time an asset is completed
and held ready for use. Infrastructure assets are depreciated from 1 July
following the year in which they were constructed or acquired. The City has
elected not to depreciate Reserves, Reticulation and Other Parks
Infrastructure as the high level of ongoing maintenance of these assets does
not result in any decreases in values.
Capitalisation threshold
Property, Plant and Equipment with a value exceeding $1,000 and all
infrastructure assets are capitalised and taken into account in the Council's
Asset Registers at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation
or amortisation and any accumulated impairment values.
(h)
Investment Property
The City does not hold any properties for investments, any property assets
held as owners are for the purpose of delivering services to the ratepayers.
(i)
Rates
The rating and reporting periods coincide. All rates levied for the year are
recognised as revenue.
(j)
Grants, Donations and Other Contributions

All grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenue when
the Council obtains control over the monies (assets) comprising the
contributions. Expenditure of those monies is made in the manner specified
under the conditions upon which the Council received those monies. Control
over assets acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the
rating period or, where earlier, upon receipt of the rates.
(k)
Trade and Other Payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are recognised when the Council
becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of
goods and services.
(l)
Provisions for Employee Benefits
The provision for employee entitlements relates to amounts expected to be
paid to employees for long service leave and annual leave and is based on
legal and contractual entitlements. The funds in the Council’s long service
leave reserve bank account are considered adequate.
Provisions made in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and other
long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months, are measured at
their nominal values using the remuneration rate expected to apply at the time
of settlement.
Provisions made in respect of long service leave which are not expected to be
settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated
future cash outflows to be made by the Council in respect of services provided
by employees up to reporting date.
Provisions for sick leave are not made in the accounts as they are non-vesting
and are paid when incurred.
(m)
Superannuation
The Council contributes to the Local Government Superannuation Scheme
and the Occupational Superannuation Fund. Both funds are defined
contribution schemes. The superannuation expense for the reporting period is
the total contribution the City makes towards superannuation plans which
provides benefits to its employees.
(n)
Land Held for Resale
Land purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition and
development. Interest and other holding charges incurred are recognised
immediately as expenses.
Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the Statement as at
the time of signing a binding contract of sale.
Page 45

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
(o)
Leases
In respect of operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains
substantially all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased
items, lease payments are charged to expense over the lease term.
The Council has no finance leases.
(p)
Interest in Regional Council
The Council's interest in two Regional Councils has been recognised in the
financial statements at cost of contributed equity.
(q)
Goods and Services Tax
All amounts disclosed in the Statutory Budget and its accompanying Financial
Statements are net of any tax which is payable or claimable under Goods and
Services Taxation legislation. The Australian Taxation Office is held as both a
creditor and a debtor for amounts payable or receivable. The cash flow
statement is reproduced on a gross basis and includes any GST involved in
the cash flows.
(r)
Rounding Off Figures
All figures shown in this budget, other than a rate in the dollar, are rounded to
the nearest dollar. This may result in minor variations between individual
schedules.
(s)
Comparative Figures
Where required, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
(t)
Budget Comparative Figures
Unless otherwise stated, the budget comparative figures shown in this annual
financial report relate to the original budget estimate for the relevant item of
disclosure.
(u)
Impairment
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the assets of the City of
Stirling, other than inventories, are assessed at each reporting date to
determine whether there is any indication they may be impaired.
Where such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset
by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the
asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset's carrying
amount.
Page 46

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
Any excess of the asset's carrying amount over its recoverable amount is
recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a
revalued amount in accordance with another standard (eg AASB 116). Any
impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in
accordance with that other standard.
At the time of adopting the Budget, it is not possible to estimate the amount of
impairment losses (if any) as at 30 June 2013.
In any event, an impairment loss is a non-cash transaction and consequently
has no impact on this budget document.
v) Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk
The City of Stirling's exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a
financial instruments value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market
interest rates, is considered negligible for all financial instruments.
Liquidity risk is managed through maintaining adequate cash reserves and
borrowing facilities. This is achieved by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, maintaining an appropriate mix of financial institutions to
invest with and setting limits in terms of borrowing and investments.
w) Receivables
Receivables are recognised as the amount to be received for goods and
services provided. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised to the extent
that collection of a full amount receivable is no longer probable. Bad debts
are identified and approved in accordance with Council's policy.
x) Borrowings
The balance of the bank overdraft amount reflects the book position and
includes cheques that have been drawn but have not yet been debited to the
bank account. Funds are maintained in investment until required.
y) Investments and Other Financial Assets
Financial Assets in the scope of AASB139 "Financial Instruments: Recognition
and measurement" are classified as either financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss, loans and receivables, recognised held-to-maturity investments,
or available-for-sale financial assets. When financial assets are recognised
initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at
fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The
Council determines the classification of its financial assets after initial
recognition and, when allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at
each financial year.
Page 47

2013/14 Budget Notes
_____________________________________________________________________
z) Current and Non-Current Classification
In the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current,
consideration is given to the time when each asset or liability is expected to be
settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is expected to be
settled within the next 12 months, being the Council's operational cycle. In the
case of liabilities where the Council does not have the unconditional right to
defer settlement beyond 12 months, such as vested long service leave, the
liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the
next 12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if
not expected to be realised in the next 12 months except for land held for
resale where it is held as non-current based on the Council's intentions to
release for sale.

the revenue required to meet the deficiency between the total estimated expenditure
proposed in the budget and the estimated revenue to be received from all sources
Page 52

2013/14 Budget Notes

other than rates and also bearing in mind the extent of any increase in rating over
the level adopted in the previous year.

Objectives set for the fund are:-

from scheduled works programs.
4. To provide flexibility for the Council in managing the funding of
premium obligations to minimise the City’s long term cost of
Workers Compensation insurance.

(iv)
Previous Employees Long Service Leave Provision Reserve
The purpose of this Reserve is to provide for liabilities for long service leave
payments that may need to be made to other local governments in respect of the
transferred service entitlement of past employees of the City of Stirling.
Regulations provide that long service leave entitlements are transferable from Council
to Council for an employee’s uninterrupted service in local government.
When a continuing employee is due for long service the local governments in which
the employee has worked each contribute to the cost of the long service leave based
on the closing salary and proportion of the employees qualifying period worked at
each municipality.
The reserve fund records an estimated liability based on estimates of the incidence of
continuing employment factored against the cash liability at the time an employee
leaves the City to continue employment elsewhere in local government.
