Statsistics show Management Plan not best practice

From the Service Unit budgets in the Detailed Budget document (a) the net funding requirement has risen 15.5%, (b) the expenditure is up by 14%, (c) income is down by 10%.
How can this be best practice? Last years 10% rate increase was conditional on Council making major savings. Where are the savings?

Since posting the topic I have been double checking my statistics and the income is actually up by $6.5m.

Because this site does not allow me to correct the topic post I have recorded the change here.

The idea that NCC is Best Practice and therefore cannot save much money is a complete furphy, contrived to confuse and based on a discredited and inappropriate method under which Council staff assessed themselves! For a start, this budget must reflect REAL best practice.
