Audited information on the level of development contributions on hand for each local authority at end of year 2010 is not yet available. The audit of the 2010 local authority Annual Financial Statements (AFS) is scheduled for completion in March 2012.

The table shows the closing balances for development contributions for each authority, as per Note 11 of the 2009 AFS. Since 2007 local authority AFS have been prepared on an accruals accounting basis. As such, the closing balances listed here are comprised of both cash and debtors elements and are not equivalent to 'cash on hand' amounts.
