For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

OVERVIEW

Introduction
The Corangamite Shire Council was established by an Order of the Governor in Council on 23 September 1994 and is a body corporate.
The Council's main office is located at 181 Manifold Street, Camperdown, Victoria 3260.

Statement of compliance
These financial statements are a general purpose financial report that consists of a Comprehensive Income Statement, Balance Sheet,
Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Capital Works and Notes accompanying these financial
statements. The general purpose financial report complies with the Australian Accounting Standards (AAS), other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, the Local Government Act 1989 , and the Local Government (Planning
and Reporting) Regulations 2014 .

Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of accounting


The accrual basis of accounting has been used in the preparation of these financial statements, whereby assets, liabilities, equity, income
and expenses are recognised in the reporting period to which they relate, regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Judgements, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated judgements are based on professional judgement derived from historical
experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and also in future periods that are affected
by the revision. Judgements and assumptions made by management in the application of AAS's that have significant effects on the
financial statements and estimates relate to:
- the fair value of land, buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment (refer to Note 6.1)
- the determination of depreciation for buildings, infrastructure, plant and equipment (refer to Note 6.1)
- the determination of employee provisions (refer to Note 5.4)
- the determination of landfill provisions (refer to Note 5.4)
- the determination of whether performance obligations are sufficiently specific so as to determine whether an arrangement is within the
scope of AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers or AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities (refer to Note 3)
- the determination, in accordance with AASB 16 Leases , of the lease term, the estimation of the discount rate when not implicit in the
lease and whether an arrangement is in substance short-term or low value (refer to Note 5.7)
- other areas requiring judgements

Unless otherwise stated, all accounting policies are consistent with those applied in the prior year. Where appropriate, comparative
figures have been amended to accord with current presentation, and disclosure has been made of any material changes to comparatives.

(b) Impact of Covid-19


On 16 March 2020 a state of emergency was declared in Victoria due to the global pandemic COVID-19 virus, known as coronavirus. A
state of disaster was subsequently declared on 2 August 2020. While the impacts of the pandemic have abated somewhat through the
2020-21 year, Council has noted the following significant impacts on its financial operations:
• Council had a COVID-19 Financial Hardship Policy which provided clear and transparent options and assistance for those experiencing
hardship due to the pandemic
• Council had a 0% increase in rates for the 2020-2021 year
• Council had a $2.5M COVID-19 Economic Stimulus and Support Package which was divided into categories including fee waivers,
employments stimulus and welfare support.
• Council has worked with all levels of Government to assist the community and has secured the following funding:
- Working for Victoria $2.3 million
- Local roads and community infrastructure phase 1 - $2.2 million
- Local roads and community infrastructure phase 2 - $1.9 million
- Outdoor dining $0.2 million
- Numerous service based grants to assist in aged services and early years

The performance against budget notes compare Council’s financial plan, expressed through its annual budget, with actual performance. The
Local Government (Planning and Reporting) Regulations 2014 requires explanation of any material variances. Council has adopted a

provided for variations below the materiality threshold unless the variance is considered to be material because of its nature.

These notes are prepared to meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 1989 and the Local Government (Planning and Reporting)
Regulations 2014 .

The calculation of employee costs and benefits includes all relevant on-costs and are calculated as follows at reporting date.

Wages and salaries and annual leave


Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulated sick leave expected to be wholly settled
within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits in respect of employee services up to the reporting
date, classified as current liabilities and measured at their nominal values.
Liabilities that are not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in the provision for employee benefits
as current liabilities, measured at the present value of the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled using the remuneration
rate expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Long service leave


Liability for long service leave (LSL) is recognised in the provision for employee benefits. LSL is measured at present value. Unconditional LSL
is disclosed as a current liability. Conditional LSL that has been accrued, where an employee is yet to reach a qualifying term of employment, is
disclosed as a non - current liability.

Key assumptions: 2021 2020

Council is obligated under EPA requirements to restore the Naroghid landfill to a particular standard. The forecast life of the site is based on
current estimates of remaining capacity and the forecast rate of infill. The provision for landfill restoration has been calculated based on the
present value of the expected cost of works to be undertaken. The expected cost of works has been estimated based on current
understanding of work required to reinstate the site to a suitable standard. Accordingly, the estimation of the provision required is dependent on
the accuracy of the forecast timing of the work, work required and related costs.

Key assumptions: 2021 2020


- discount rate 3.50% 3.01%
- inflation rate 2.50% 2.25%

5.7 Leases

At inception of a contract, all entities would assess whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To identify whether a contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, it is necessary to assess whether:
- The contract involves the use of an identified asset;
- The customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
- The customer has the right to direct the use of the asset.
This policy is applied to contracts entered into, or changed, on or after 1 July 2019.
As a lessee, Council recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially
measured at cost which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for:
· any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; plus
· any initial direct costs incurred; and
· an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the
useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same
basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, an appropriate incremental borrowing rate. Generally,
Council uses an appropriate incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
· Fixed payments
· Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
· Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
· The exercise price under a purchase option that Council is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal
period if Council is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless Council is
reasonably certain not to terminate early.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is
recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Council has elected to apply the temporary option available under AASB 16 Leases which allows not-for-profit entities to not measure right-of-
use assets at initial recognition at fair value in respect of leases that have significantly below-market terms.
Council has a small number of peppercorn leases which are used for a variety of purposes.

Short-term and low value leases


Council has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less
and leases of low-value of less than $10,000. Council recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-

Acquisition
The purchase method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets, being the fair value of assets provided as consideration at the date of
acquisition plus any incidental costs attributable to the acquisition. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a
liability) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Where assets are constructed by Council, cost includes all materials used in construction, direct labour, borrowing costs incurred during construction,
and an appropriate share of directly attributable variable and fixed overheads.
In accordance with Council's policy, the threshold limits have applied when recognising assets within an applicable asset class and unless otherwise
stated are consistent with the prior year.

Land under roads


Council recognises land under roads it controls at fair value.

Depreciation and amortisation


Buildings, land improvements, plant and equipment, infrastructure, and other assets having limited useful lives are systematically depreciated over
their useful lives to the Council in a manner which reflects consumption of the service potential embodied in those assets. Estimates of remaining
useful lives and residual values are made on a regular basis with major asset classes reassessed annually. Depreciation rates and methods are
reviewed annually.
Where assets have separate identifiable components that are subject to regular replacement, these components are assigned distinct useful lives and
residual values and a separate depreciation rate is determined for each component.
Road earthworks are not depreciated on the basis that they are assessed as not having a limited useful life.
Straight line depreciation is charged based on the residual useful life as determined each year.
Depreciation periods used are listed above and are consistent with the prior year unless otherwise stated.

Repairs and maintenance


Where the repair relates to the replacement of a component of an asset and the cost exceeds the capitalisation threshold the cost is capitalised and
depreciated. The carrying value of the replaced asset is expensed.
Leasehold improvements
Leasehold improvements are recognised at cost and are amortised over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the
improvement, whichever is the shorter.

Valuation of land and buildings


Valuation of land and buildings were undertaken by a qualified independent valuer Ming Zhi Lei (Assetic Pty Ltd). The valuation of land and buildings is
at fair value, being market value based on highest and best use permitted by relevant land planning provisions. Where land use is restricted through
existing planning provisions the valuation is reduced to reflect this limitation. This adjustment is an unobservable input in the valuation. The
adjustment has no impact on the comprehensive income statement.

Specialised land is valued at fair value using a discounted average of land values across the shire. Specialised land was revalued this year using a
discounted average of data from the Valuer General.

Any significant movements in the unobservable inputs for land and land under roads will have a significant impact on the fair value of these assets.
The date of the current valuation is detailed in the following table.
Details of the Council’s land and buildings and information about the fair value hierarchy as at 30 June 2021 are as follows:

Level 1 Level2 Level 3 Date of Valuation

Valuation of infrastructure
Valuations of sealed road has been determined in accordance with a independent valuation from Infrastructure Management Group. Valuation of
unsealed roads were completed internally with reference to the gravel road condition assessment manual.
A deskop review was completed by Assetic Pty Ltd on all asset classes as at 30 June 2021. Where a material variation in the value of the asset class
was determined the class was revalued.
The date of the current valuation is detailed in the following table.
The valuation is at fair value based on replacement cost less accumulated depreciation as at the date of valuation.

Description of significant unobservable inputs into level 3 valuations

Specialised land and land under roads is valued using a market based direct comparison technique. Significant unobservable inputs include the
extent and impact of restriction of use and the market cost of land per square metre. The extent and impact of restrictions on use varies and results in
a reduction to surrounding land values of 95%. The market value of land varies significantly depending on the location of the land and the current
market conditions. Currently land values range between $7 and $80 per square metre.

Specialised buildings are valued using a depreciated replacement cost technique. Significant unobservable inputs include the current replacement
cost and remaining useful lives of buildings. Current replacement costs is calculated on a square metre basis and ranges from $2,250 to $2,600 per
square metre. The remaining useful lives of buildings are determined on the basis of the current condition of buildings and vary from 10 years to 50
years. Replacement cost is sensitive to changes in market conditions, with any increase or decrease in cost flowing through to the valuation. Useful
lives of buildings are sensitive to changes in expectations or requirements that could either shorten or extend the useful lives of buildings.

Infrastructure assets are valued based on the depreciated replacement cost. Significant unobservable inputs include the current replacement cost
and remaining useful lives of infrastructure. The remaining useful lives of infrastructure assets are determined on the basis of the current condition of
the asset and vary from 10 years to 100 years. Replacement cost is sensitive to changes in market conditions, with any increase or decrease in cost
flowing through to the valuation. Useful lives of infrastructure are sensitive to changes in use, expectations or requirements that could either shorten or
extend the useful lives of infrastructure assets.

(b) Contingent liabilities


Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are not recognised in the Balance Sheet, but are disclosed and if quantifiable, are measured at
nominal value. Contingent assets and liabilities are presented inclusive of GST receivable or payable, respectively.

Superannuation
Council has obligations under a defined benefit superannuation scheme that may result in the need to make additional contributions to the
scheme, matters relating to this potential obligation are outlined below. As a result of the volatility in financial markets the likelihood of
making such contributions in future periods exists.

Future superannuation contributions


In addition to the disclosed contributions, Corangamite Shire Council has no unfunded liability payments to Vision Super (2019-2020 $Nil)
There were no contributions outstanding and no loans issued from or to the above schemes as at 30 June 2021. The expected contributions
to be paid to the Defined Benefit category of Vision Super for the year ending 30 June 2021 are $142,000

Landfill
Council operates a landfill. Council will have to carry out site rehabilitation works in the future. At balance date Council is unable to accurately
assess the financial implications of such works.

Insurance claims
Council does not have any major insurance claims that could have a material impact on future operations as at the 30 June 2021.

Legal matters
Council does not have any major legal matters that could have a material impact on future operations as at the 30 June 2021.

Liability Mutual Insurance


Council is a participant of the MAV Liability Mutual Insurance (LMI) Scheme. The LMI scheme provides public liability and professional
indemnity insurance cover. The LMI scheme states that each participant will remain liable to make further contributions to the scheme in
respect of any insurance year in which it was a participant to the extent of its participant’s share of any shortfall in the provision set aside in
respect of that insurance year, and such liability will continue whether or not the participant remains a participant in future insurance years.

The amount disclosed for financial guarantee in this note is the nominal amount of the underlying loan that is guaranteed by the Council, not
the fair value of the financial guarantee.
Financial guarantee contracts are not recognised as a liability in the balance sheet unless the lender has exercised their right to call on the
guarantee or Council has other reasons to believe that it is probable that the right will be exercised.

8.2 Change in accounting standards


Certain new Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the 30 June 2021 reporting
period. Council assesses the impact of these new standards. As at 30 June 2021 there were no new accounting standards or interpretations
issued by the AASB which are applicable for the year ending 30 June 2022 that are expected to impact Council.

8.3 Financial instruments


(a) Objectives and policies
The Council's principal financial instruments comprise cash assets, term deposits, receivables (excluding statutory receivables), payables
(excluding statutory payables) and bank borrowings. Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria
for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognised, in respect of each class of financial
asset, financial liability and equity instrument is disclosed in the notes of the financial statements. Risk management is carried out by senior
management under policies approved by the Council. These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure to Council and
appropriate procedures, controls and risk minimisation.

(b) Market risk


Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of council financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. The Council's exposure to market risk is primarily through interest rate risk with only insignificant exposure to other price risks and no
exposure to foreign currency risk.

Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flows associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to
changes in market interest rates. Council's interest rate liability risk arises primarily from long term loans and borrowings at fixed rates which
exposes council to fair value interest rate risk / Council does not hold any interest bearing financial instruments that are measured at fair
value, and therefore has no exposure to fair value interest rate risk. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a
financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Council has minimal exposure to cash flow interest rate risk
through its cash and deposits that are at floating rates.

Investment of surplus funds is made with approved financial institutions under the Local Government Act 1989 . Council manages interest
rate risk by adopting an investment policy that ensures:

- diversification of investment product;


- monitoring of return on investment; and
- benchmarking of returns and comparison with budget.

There has been no significant change in the Council's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes for managing interest rate risk or the
methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.

Interest rate movements have not been sufficiently significant during the year to have an impact on the Council's year end result.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

(c) Credit risk


Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a financial instrument and cause Council to make a
financial loss. Council have exposure to credit risk on some financial assets included in the balance sheet. Particularly significant areas of
credit risk exist in relation to outstanding fees and fines as well as loans and receivables from sporting clubs and associations. To help
manage
- councilthis
haverisk:
a policy for establishing credit limits for the entities council deal with;
- council may require collateral where appropriate; and
- council only invest surplus funds with financial institutions which have a recognised credit rating specified in council's investment policy.
Receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across the ratepayer, business and government sectors. Credit risk associated
with the council's financial assets is minimal because the main debtor is secured by a charge over the rateable property.
There are no material financial assets which are individually determined to be impaired.
Council may also be subject to credit risk for transactions which are not included in the balance sheet, such as when council provide a
guarantee for another party. Details of our contingent liabilities are disclosed in Note 8.1(b).
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for
impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements. Council does not hold any collateral.

(d) Liquidity risk


Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of council's operational liquidity requirements it will not have sufficient funds to settle a
transaction when required or will be forced to sell a financial asset at below value or may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.
To help reduce these risks Council:
- have a liquidity policy which targets a minimum and average level of cash and cash equivalents to be maintained;
- have readily accessible standby facilities and other funding arrangements in place;
- have a liquidity portfolio structure that requires surplus funds to be invested within various bands of liquid instruments;
- monitor budget to actual performance on a regular basis; and
- set limits on borrowings relating to the percentage of loans to rate revenue and percentage of loan principal repayments to rate revenue.

The Council's maximum exposure to liquidity risk is the carrying amounts of financial liabilities as disclosed on the face of the balance sheet
and the amounts related to financial guarantees disclosed in Note 8.1(c), and is deemed insignificant based on prior periods' data and current
assessment of risk.
There has been no significant change in Council's exposure, or its objectives, policies and processes for managing liquidity risk or the
methods used to measure this risk from the previous reporting period.
With the exception of borrowings, all financial liabilities are expected to be settled within normal terms of trade.
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value.

(e) Sensitivity disclosure analysis


Taking into account past performance, future expectations, economic forecasts, and management's knowledge and experience of the
financial markets, Council believes the following movements are 'reasonably possible' over the next 12 months:
- A parallel shift of + 0.5% and -0.2% in market interest rates (AUD) from year-end rates of 0.3%.
These movements will not have a material impact on the valuation of Council's financial assets and liabilities, nor will they have a material
impact on the results of Council's operations.

For the Year Ended 30 June 2021

8.4 Fair value measurement


Fair value hierarchy
Council's financial assets and liabilities are not valued in accordance with the fair value hierarchy , Council's financial assets and liabilities are
measured at amortised cost.
Council measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value where required or permitted by Australian Accounting Standards. AASB 13 Fair
value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a definition of fair value and a single source of fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements for use across Australian Accounting Standards.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within a fair value hierarchy,
described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly
observable;
Level and
3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, Council has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and
risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.
In addition, Council determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Revaluation
Subsequent to the initial recognition of assets, non-current physical assets, other than plant and equipment, are measured at their fair value,
being the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. At balance date, the Council reviewed the carrying value of the individual classes of assets measured at fair value to
ensure that each asset materially approximated its fair value. Where the carrying value materially differed from the fair value at balance date,
the class of asset was revalued.

Fair value valuations are determined in accordance with a valuation hierarchy. Changes to the valuation hierarchy will only occur if an external
change in the restrictions or limitations of use of an asset result in changes to the permissible or practical highest and best use of the asset. In
addition, Council undertakes a formal revaluation of land, buildings, and infrastructure assets on a regular basis ranging from 2 to 5 years. The
valuation is performed either by experienced council officers or independent experts.
Where the assets are revalued, the revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve except to the extent that an
increment reverses a prior year decrement for that class of asset that had been recognised as an expense in which case the increment is
recognised as revenue up to the amount of the expense. Revaluation decrements are recognised as an expense except where prior
increments are included in the asset revaluation reserve for that class of asset in which case the decrement is taken to the reserve to the extent
of the remaining increments. Within the same class of assets, revaluation increments and decrements within the year are offset.

Impairment of assets
At each reporting date, the Council reviews the carrying value of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have
been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs of disposal
and value in use, is compared to the assets carrying value. Any excess of the assets carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to
the comprehensive income statement, unless the asset is carried at the revalued amount in which case, the impairment loss is recognised
directly against the revaluation surplus in respect of the same class of asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount
in the revaluation surplus for that same class of asset.

8.5 Events occurring after balance date

No matters have occurred after balance date that require disclosure in the financial report.

2020-2021 Financial Report
Notes to the Financial Report
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021
9.3 Superannuation
Council makes the majority of its employer superannuation contributions in respect of its employees to the Local Authorities Superannuation
Fund (the Fund). This Fund has two categories of membership, accumulation and defined benefit, each of which is funded differently.
Obligations for contributions to the Fund are recognised as an expense in Comprehensive Operating Statement when they are made or due.

Accumulation
Council makes both employer and employee contributions to The Fund's accumulation category, Vision MySuper/Vision Super Saver, on a
progressive basis. Employer contributions are normally based on a fixed percentage of employee earnings (for the year ended 30 June 2021,
this was 9.5% as required under Superannuation Guarantee (SG) legislation).
Defined Benefit
Council does not use defined benefit accounting for its defined benefit obligations under the Fund's Defined Benefit category. This is because
the Fund's Defined Benefit category is a pooled multi-employer sponsored plan.
There is no proportional split of the defined benefit liabilities, assets or costs between the participating employers as the defined benefit
obligation is a floating obligation between the participating employers and the only time that the aggregate obligation is allocated to specific
employers is when a call is made. As a result, the level of participation of Council in the Fund cannot be measured as a percentage compared
with other participating employers. Therefore, the Fund Actuary is unable to allocate benefit liabilities, assets and costs between employers for
the purposes of AASB 119 Employee Benefits.
Funding arrangements
Council makes employer contributions to the Defined Benefit category of the Fund at rates determined by the Trustee on the advice of the
Fund Actuary.
A triennial actuarial review for the Defined Benefit category as at 30 June 2020 was conducted and completed by the due date of 31
December 2020. The vested benefit index (VBI) of the Defined Benefit category of which Council is a contributing employer was 104.6%. The
financial assumptions used to calculate the VBI were:
Net investment returns 5.6% pa
Salary information 2.5% pa for two years and 2.75% pa thereafter
Price inflation (CPI) 2.0% pa.
As at 30 June 2021, an interim actuarial investigation is underway as the Fund provides lifetime pensions in the Defined Benefit category.
Vision Super has advised that the VBI at June 2021 was 109.7%
The VBI is used as the primary funding indicator. Because the VBI was above 100%, the 30 June 2020 actuarial investigation determined the
Defined Benefit category was in a satisfactory financial position and that no change was necessary to the Defined Benefit category’s funding
arrangements from prior years.
Employer contributions
Regular contributions
On the basis of the results of the 2020 triennial actuarial investigation conducted by the Fund Actuary, Council makes employer contributions
to the Fund’s Defined Benefit category at rates determined by the Fund’s Trustee. For the year ended 30 June 2021, this rate was 9.5% of
members' salaries (9.5% in 2019/2020). This rate is expected to increase in line with any increases in the SG contribution rate and was
reviewed as part of the 30 June 2020 triennial valuation.
In addition, Council reimburses the Fund to cover the excess of the benefits paid as a consequence of retrenchment above the funded
resignation or retirement benefit.

Funding calls
If the Defined Benefit category is in an unsatisfactory financial position at an actuarial investigation or the Defined Benefit category’s VBI is
below its shortfall limit at any time other than the date of the actuarial investigation, the Defined Benefit category has a shortfall for the
purposes of SPS 160 and the Fund is required to put a plan in place so that the shortfall is fully funded within three years of the shortfall
occurring. The Fund monitors its VBI on a quarterly basis and the Fund has set its shortfall limit at 97%.
In the event that the Fund Actuary determines that there is a shortfall based on the above requirement, the Fund’s participating employers
(including Council) are required to make an employer contribution to cover the shortfall.
Using the agreed methodology, the shortfall amount is apportioned between the participating employers based on the pre-1 July 1993 and
post-30 June 1993 service liabilities of the Fund’s Defined Benefit category, together with the employer’s payroll at 30 June 1993 and at the
date the shortfall has been calculated.
Due to the nature of the contractual obligations between the participating employers and the Fund, and that the Fund includes lifetime
pensioners and their reversionary beneficiaries, it is unlikely that the Fund will be wound up.
If there is a surplus in the Fund, the surplus cannot be returned to the participating employers.
In the event that a participating employer is wound-up, the defined benefit obligations of that employer will be transferred to that employer’s
successor.

2020-2021 Financial Report
Notes to the Financial Report
For the Year Ended 30 June 2021
The 2020 triennial actuarial investigation surplus amounts
An actuarial investigation is conducted annually for the Defined Benefit category of which Council is a contributing employer. Generally, a full
actuarial investigation is conducted every three years and interim actuarial investigations are conducted for each intervening year. A full
investigation was conducted as at 30 June 2020.
The Fund’s actuarial investigation identified the following for the Defined Benefit category of which Council is a contributing employer:

2020 2019
(Triennial) (Interim)
$m $m
- A VBI Surplus 100.0 151.3
- A total service liability surplus 200.0 233.4
- A discounted accrued benefits surplus 217.8 256.7

The VBI surplus means that the market value of the fund’s assets supporting the defined benefit obligations exceed the vested benefits that
the defined benefit members would have been entitled to if they had all exited on 30 June 2020.

The total service liability surplus means that the current value of the assets in the Fund’s Defined Benefit category plus expected future
