The shire's 2013/14 Annual Report details a $7.8 million comprehensive surplus and a revenue of $28.4 million, with 57 per cent coming from rates and charges. 

The report states the surplus was significantly reduced from last financial year, due to the "winding up of flood activities". 

However, it says council's net assets will increase after flood recovery expenditure is complete. 

The shire spent $10.4 million in employee benefits and $7.7 million on materials and services in the last financial year, and had $212.7 million in assets in its balance sheet.

The shire received a 50 per cent satisfaction rating on governance, communications and advocacy - all less than the state averages of 60 per cent, 58 per cent and 57 per cent respectively. 

The shire also failed to meet its target of a five per cent reduction in its carbon emissions. 

It delivered 69 per cent of budgeted capital works programs, which included the Clunes Community and Interpretive Centre. 

$2.1 million was also spent on restoring council owned assets under the flood recovery program. 

The report also states that "less than 50 per cent of customer requests (in regards to roads and maintenance and parks and gardens) were actioned within an agreed time frame". 

However, council also met some significant targets, including 85 per cent of planning permits issued within 60 days, 94 per cent of help desk calls closed and a 1.7 per cent efficiency savings achieved.
