Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠Overview

Byron Shire Council requires a comprehensive Financial Sustainability Review to support its consideration of long-term financial sustainability initiatives and any future Special Rate Variation (SRV) application.

Purpose

The review is intended to address Council Resolution 26-108 (Comprehensive Review of Council Business) and Council Resolution 26-110 (Exploration of Alternative Options to Support Long-Term Financial Sustainability). It will provide an evidence-based framework to inform Council decision-making, community engagement, and any future SRV application to IPART.

Scope

The scope includes:

  • Examining expenditure on non-statutory services and benchmarking this expenditure against comparable councils where possible
  • Identifying and evaluating alternative revenue opportunities, commercial opportunities, asset utilisation options, cost containment measures, and productivity improvements
  • Assessing the financial impact, benefits, risks, and implementation considerations of the identified options
  • Developing financial scenarios demonstrating how a combination of expenditure savings, efficiency gains, revenue initiatives, and, if required, a potential Special Rate Variation could improve Council's long-term financial sustainability
  • Providing an evidence-based framework to inform Council decision-making, community engagement, and any future SRV application to IPART
