Council has recently undertaken improvement strategies that provide savings including:  Discontinuing the Family Day Care service.  Installation of LED street lighting saving $30,000 in electricity costs.   Sold land for unpaid rates.  Realised FBT Savings of $40,000 per annum by reducing council issued cars.  Installed automated irrigation systems that have realised labour efficiency gains.   Extending the life of heavy plant.  Reducing debt by $2 million over two years resulting in savings of $80,000 per year.  Focusing on condition-based asset maintenance – based on need not program.  Council will continue to investigate and realise all cost saving opportunities; however, cost savings alone will not be sufficient to make Council financially viable.
