The Otago Regional Council released its Annual Report, which reported a total comprehensive revenue and expense surplus of $70.644 million. The operating surplus for the year was $10.89 million, exceeding the budgeted surplus of $729,000. The report noted that grants revenue was $2.425 million higher than budgeted, partly due to funding agreements being set before budgets were finalized.
