About our finances.
On these pages we show how we have managed our finances over the past year.
Our total income for the year was $248.4 million. There was an increase in income of $10 million (or 4.2%) compared to 2020-21. This was largely due to the growth in rates income.
Our total operating expenses for the year were $200.4 million. The largest part of this was the cost of employing our staff.
