Note (1): for the 2017-18 Estimated Budget, Moora was allocated an indicative deficit funding amount of $377 917. However, due to the college closure, no contribution has been made and the college was advised to withdraw from its investment accounts.  Therefore, the 2017-18 balance is $0. 

The total income received in column b (i) includes the amount of fees collected as well as additional income such as rental of facilities, interest and other miscellaneous revenue.

Total expenses in column b (ii) less total income in column b (i) differs to what the taxpayers’ contribution was by way of deficit funding due to the deficit funding amount being set at the start of the year based on estimates of expenses and income, which vary during the year.
