This expenditure basis is $655,883 per annum based upon the 5 years (2002to 2007) prior to the implementation of the SMSC. Council’s expenditure in 2008/2009 on stormwatermanagement through Council’s general funds was $708,742.Note: It should be noted that Council’s cost in providing the level of service equivalent to that prior to theimplementation of the SMSC ($655,883) differs from the figure originally reported to Council on 16 April2007 being approximately $730,000.The explanation for the difference is that the original figure reported to Council was based upon an averageexpenditure over the 4 financial years prior to the implementation of the scheme (from 2003/04 to2006/07) with the 2006/07 financial year being based upon anticipated expenditure for that year - whereas,the current figure is based upon the 5 financial years prior to the implementation of the scheme (from2002/03 to 2006/07) with the 2006/07 financial year being based upon actual expenditure for that year,ie. $655,883. The change from the 4 year to the 5 year time period is considered a more representativetime scale and is within the time scales that are promoted by the Act.Subsidised Work on Private Property - Section 428 Part 2 (k)Resolutions made during the year ended 30 June 2009 under s67(2)(b) (“Private Works”) – Nil.55
