Notes to the operating statement
- The increase of $3.481 million in employee benefits was mainly due to the commencement of additional compliance programs and the implementation of new legislative initiatives.
- The increase of $11.962 million in depreciation and amortisation was mainly due to an increase in amortisation expenses related to municipal valuations. Municipal valuations are amortised for up to two years and due to the timing of purchases the amortisation expense is always higher in the second year of the cycle, with 2017-18 the second year of the two year cycle.
- Grants and other transfers consist of payments made to municipal councils in relation to administering the Fire Services Property Levy, which were based on the Treasurer’s determination under section 70 of the Fire Services Property Levy Act 2012.
- Expenses from transactions exclude $0.638 million in relation to administering the Growth Area Infrastructure Contribution and Metropolitan Planning Levy, which were run through Treasury Trust.
