Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the District is financially strong, although the treasurer noted that the balance at 31/03/2023 was higher than intended due to early subs payments. The filing highlights a risk regarding cash flow, as some groups are not paying invoices for district activities on time, requiring the District to pay in advance.
