Land under Roads Council being of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a value sufficiently reliably to qualify for recognition, land under roads has not been recognised in these reports. Land acquired for road purposes during the year is initially recognised at cost, but transferred to fair value at reporting date, effectively writing off the expenditure. Land & Land Improvements Freehold land and land over which Council has control, but does not have title, is recognised on the cost basis. No capitalisation threshold is applied to the acquisition of land or interests in land. Land improvements, including bulk earthworks with an assessed unlimited useful life, are recognised deriving from a valuation at 30 June 2017 at current replacement cost. Additions are recognised at cost.
