Contents OUR ORGANISATION Financial overview Revenue Generation and Budgetary Objectives The Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria’s income is primarily annual recurrent funding from the Victorian Government, supplemented by income generated through grants, donations, fund-generating programs, business operations and investment. The annual recurrent budget is allocated to salaries, operating costs and minor capital works. The main budgetary objectives of the organisation are to: – provide for the operational growth of RBG Cranbourne associated with the development of the Australian Garden – improve the curation of the State Botanical Collection – identify and implement new business opportunities building on the Royal Botanic Gardens’ brand, while fostering the expansion of current revenue sources, and – achieve a consistent growth in corporate, community and philanthropic contributions of at least 10 per cent per annum. Victorian Government Income During 2010–11, annual funding provided by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) enabled the repair or replacement of the most urgent of those assets requiring attention, rectification of building defects, path, kerb and water main replacements, installation of water tanks for office use and repair of the Herbarium lift. Work was also undertaken on replacement of part of the RBG Melbourne perimeter fence, which was required as a result of the City of Melbourne’s activities relating to the upgrade of The Tan Track. In relation to major capital works, construction of the Working Wetlands Part A project in RBG Melbourne, which aims to revitalise the RBG Melbourne lake system, is near completion and significant progress was made on the landscape construction works for the Australian Garden Stage 2 project, which are expected to be completed by mid-2012.

Contents Our Organisation Comparison of financial performance and position For the financial year ended 30 June 2011, the Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria’s operating result was higher than the previous year, mainly due to an increase in the level of revenue received for a number of large capital projects, including the Australian Garden Stage 2 project and the Working Wetlands project. The corresponding expenditure on these projects is predominantly reflected as an increase in the Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria’s total assets and not as operating expenses. In addition, grant income is higher in the current year due to receipt of additional funds from the Government to assist in meeting the costs associated with staging a major show garden in May 2011 at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show and a higher level of grant income for Plant Sciences and Biodiversity Division projects and the Working Wetlands project. In relation to the Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria’s financial position, the decrease in cash and deposits balances as at 30 June 2011 was mainly due to the use of unspent revenue from previous reporting periods for the Australian Garden Stage 2 project, the corresponding costs for which will be further incurred over the 2011–12 financial year. The Royal Botanic Gardens Board Victoria’s non-financial physical asset balance has increased significantly due to the independent revaluation of land, buildings, infrastructure and cultural assets (the latter of which includes the State Botanical Collection), resulting in a corresponding increment in the Physical Asset revaluation surplus equity balance. The total equity balance has also increased as a result of the 2010–11 Government funding for the Australian Garden Stage 2 project, which was received as contributed capital.
