ITEM: 1

SUBJECT: Response to Petition: Request for Sound Barrier - Redbank Motorway Industrial Estate

AUTHOR: Manager, City Design

DATE: 10 November 2022

Executive Summary

On 13 July 2022 a petition was provided to Council seeking action and effective consultation in respect to the Redbank Motorway Estate and reported impacts on the nearby community of Moggill and Bellbowrie. This petition was presented to and accepted by Council at its meeting of 25 August 2022. This report seeks to provide an update consisting of some background to the submission, and the actions taken by Council officers in response to the submission.

Recommendation/s

That the report be received and noted.

A Trusted and Leading Organisation

Purpose of Report/Background

The purpose of this report is to provide an update to the Council on the circumstances surrounding this petition, and the response to the petition.

Site Background and Location

The Redbank Motorway Estate is located between the Ipswich Motorway and the Brisbane River, in Redbank. To the east is the suburb of Goodna, and to the west is the suburb of Riverview. The Brisbane River forms the boundary between the Ipswich and Brisbane City Council Local Government Areas, with the suburbs of Moggill, Priors Pocket and Bellbowrie to the north and within the area of Brisbane City Council (See Attachment 1).

The Redbank Motorway Estate has been identified as a potential industrial area since 1999, and the southern parts of the Redbank Peninsula have has been used as an industry precinct for a significant period of time including for heavy industry purposes, with the operation of a railway workshops and foundry commencing in 1958, however the areas south of the railway workshops were used for various industrial purposes since the late 1800’s, including a boiling down works, hosting American troops in the 1950’s and a range of other uses.

The more recent development interest in the area commenced in 2004, with initial interest in developing the area into a mix of industry and residential uses. This concept did not proceed, and instead in 2006 an application was lodged to subdivide the area into industrial lots.

Ultimately, the area has been the subject of major development including the establishment of Rheinmetall, Auspost, DB Schenker, Coles, Tyres4U, Zenexus and TNT/FedEx. The type of industrial uses have to date been predominantly logistics uses rather than heavy manufacturing uses. Some of these uses operate 24 hours a day, with activity largely contained within buildings. Logistics uses in particular do rely on public roads, and then outdoor areas for heavy vehicle access and manoeuvring and unloading activities.

The development of the site is advanced to the point that there are very few remaining lots left to be developed (Attachment 1).

Zoning, Zone History and Land Use Intent

As the site was already designated for industrial purposes (being a combination of Low Impact and Medium Impact Industrial Zones and Buffer along the River) development of industrial uses in this precinct was consistent with the planning intent for the area as contained within the 1999 planning scheme, later amendments and then the 2004 and 2006 Planning schemes.

It is also noteworthy to mention that the perimeter of the area and the riverbank was identified in these planning schemes as a buffer and open space area and, anticipated to buffer the future uses from the surrounding land uses. This offers at least a 200 metre buffer to the perimeter of the area. This buffer is consistent with or exceeds other comparable buffers identifiable in the Ipswich examples of Carole Park, and Wulkuraka within Ipswich and as a comparison to Logan City Council Areas of Park Ridge.

Development in this area had the potential to be a range of industrial activities. In fact, the current planning scheme foreshadows a range of manufacturing, logistics and service industries to be suitable for this area. Given the presence of these overarching planning documents, and the resultant land use designations, no individual development applications were subject to public notification, affording no formal submission rights to the community.

There were, however, opportunities to make submissions on planning instruments as they were prepared and implemented, however this would have been between 1997 and 2006 in the preparation of those consecutive planning schemes (1999, 2004, 2006).

Current Issues

As described in the petition, residents in Moggill and Bellbowrie are reporting that impacts from dust, noise and light are negatively impacting them as well as the impacts of hooning. It is understood that the noise and light impacts are inclusive of construction activities as well as the operation of uses at the site, and the night time operation of certain uses is a particular focus.

The petition also outlines a series of actions to be considered, including:

1. The construction of an acoustic barrier to protect them from the impacts from the industrial activity;

2. A CCTV system to assist in regulation of hooning by the Queensland Police Service; and

3. A ‘legislative guarantee’ that reversing broadband scrubbers be used exclusively in lieu of tonal beepers.

Response to Issues

Council officers have been responding to complaints in this area since at least 2018, with specific attention given to this site and the impacts of a range of issues raised by residents.

During 2018 and 2019, Council officers worked with some of the residents in the area to understand their issues, and sought to involve both Rheinmetall, the QLD Government and Goodman to address and resolve some of these issues.

During 2020, the issue of reverse beeper noise from some operations became apparent as another issue being experienced by the residents. More recently, noise emissions from the construction of another new facility has become a specific focus for the residents. This has led to some additional concern about future developments along the Brisbane River frontage of the area.

Issue 1 - Noise

Developments are undertaking noise assessments in order to demonstrate compliance with the planning scheme with a specific focus on uses that are intended on operating 24 hours a day. Building siting and design has been the predominant form of attenuation used in this area, however there are some uses that have an operational limitation requiring the use of broadband reverse sounds rather than tonal beepers.

There are presently no acoustic barriers between the development and the residential area, and no single acoustic report has recommended barriers as described in the petition.

In response to the petition, Council officers will continue to scrutinise applications to ensure that the design of development seeks to contain impacts. Council officers will also discuss the issue with Goodman to consider if there is more than can be done in this space.

Response: Council officers are in discussion with Goodman on this subject.

Issue 2 – Hooning

In some circumstances road design can influence hooning behaviour. Unfortunately, the design of the road corridors in this area is to accommodate the movement of heavy vehicles. This means that it is not possible to implement speed and traffic control and maintain normal road operation.

It is understood though that the developer, Goodman, have installed CCTV cameras in strategic locations. This information can be provided to the police to address complaints.

Unfortunately, this issue as largely outside of Council’s control, and these types of anti-social and illegal behaviours are regulated by the Queensland Police Service.

Response: Not within Council control, no further specific action to be taken.

Issue 3 – Tonal Beeper Ban

Reversing alarms of any description are a safety device intended to address the risks associated with the reversing of vehicles. The imposition of a specific condition regarding the control of these types of beepers has been an exception applied to certain uses, but not a rule. This exception has been applied in circumstances where acoustic analysis has indicated that a restriction is warranted.

It is recommended that Council officers continue to assess applications on a case-by-case basis, and in order of general preference from most preferable to least preferable, seek to have uses control amenity impacts.

1. Avoid: through building design, citing and location to maximise separation to sensitive uses and avoiding reverse manoeuvres.

2. Design: by installing acoustic devices and barriers.

3. Restrict: Restrictions on operating hours; and

4. Manage: Least preferably, through more detailed operational and site management restrictions.

Obviously physical restrictions are more certain than relying on operational choices and decisions. And enforcement and regulation of physical restrictions is preferable to the enforcement and regulation of site management or behaviour type controls. To this end, it should be noted that there are potential challenges in regulating restrictions on tonal beepers where these devices are a safety feature and service and delivery vehicles may be servicing other sites which may mandate a tonal beeper as part of their specific on site controls.

Ultimately, site operators can impose their own on-site management protocols to minimise noise intrusion as well and to be good neighbours.

To the best of our awareness, this issue has not been experienced in other parts of Ipswich to date. It is noted that there may be other issues in other local government areas surrounding the use of tonal beepers and their impacts on the community. In response, it is recommended that a submission be made to the Department of Environment and Science to review the State-wide controls associated with reversing alarms and if there are regulatory tools that could be further enhanced to avoid this issue in the future given our growing communities, and the growth of our employment and industry areas.

Recommendation: Provide a submission to DES for the consideration of updated controls and guidance relating to the use of tonal beepers in the community.

Other Observations

Compliance Activity

It is noteworthy to mention that any compliance activity is reliant upon several factors, but ultimately when a compliance issue is raised, there needs to be a desire from the operators to address those compliance issues.

It is also preferable for the operator to be able to build a rapport with the community to both understand the issues and then to work towards mutually agreeable solutions. There is some effort in this space, which is reassuring, but more work is required. Ultimately it is also preferable for the involved parties to resolve a situation with a mutually agreeable outcome and at the same time, build a positive relationship and along with an opportunity to address issues in the future.

Planning Awareness

The residents who have lived and have been moving into this area in Moggill, Priors Pocket and Bellbowrie may likely not have been aware of the proposed development near them and were not prepared for the development that has ensued. This is a reflection on the awareness of planning and planning schemes and their importance in considering property decisions and purchasing land. It is observed that at times, individuals may do more research on a used car in comparison to the research undertaken when buying land.

Level of Assessment

Somewhat linked to the issue of planning awareness, the guidance material for drafting planning schemes focusses on reducing levels of assessment wherever possible. This means that if development is consistent with the intent of the planning scheme, it may not be subject to formal public notification. Whilst this may mean for some that the opportunity to have their say is avoided, the time for input on this issue was actually with the planning scheme and not with the individual development application(s). This also means that planning instruments are intended to clearly communicate an intent that is evident to the community, neighbours and developers.

This highlights the need for planning awareness to be improved, as well as good engagement of planning schemes and amendments. It is also critical that planning schemes are maintained to balance the range of issues considered in the planning scheme, with emerging challenges, intended land use, community desire and the greater good.

Community Meetings

In response to ongoing, unstructured liaison between officers and the community, and the contents of the petition, a community meeting has been instituted by a group of the residents. The first meeting was held on the 11^th of November 2022 and was attended by Council officers and representatives from Goodman. The agenda and scope of this forum is likely to evolve however at minimum it is intended to provide an avenue for information sharing between residents, Goodman (developer) and Council. It is anticipated that sharing of information proactively on upcoming developments will assist in community understanding and providing a forum for Goodman and Council to understand that nature of residents’ concerns, and the share inform to ultimately resolve resident concerns. In some cases, there may have been a lack of understanding of the scale and scope of issues being experienced, as well as a lack of knowledge of what was being done to address the issues being raised.

The matter is a continuing one with further actions required.

ITEM: 3

SUBJECT: Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery - Master Plan Report

AUTHOR: Principal Officer (Projects)

DATE: 15 November 2022

Executive Summary

This is a report concerning a review of the concept master plan for the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery. Cemetery master planning is integral to ensuring best use of the asset, inventory management and to inform capital budget and works scheduling. The review of the Warrill Park master plan considered the practicalities of the proposed construction, requirements for the protected vegetation Melaleuca irbyana and flood levels, it was determined that adjustments to the current concept would be required.

Recommendations

A. That the Master Plan for the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery presented to the Council Ordinary Meeting on 19 February 2013 be revised and updated.

B. That the revised Concept Master Plan for the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery be presented to a future meeting of the Growth and Infrastructure and Waste Committee.

RELATED PARTIES

Norwood Park Pty Ltd (Norwood) is contracted to Council to provide cemetery services in accordance with the Cemetery Services Deed, 09-10-054 (the Deed) and Trustee Lease. The Deed commenced on 1 September 2011 for a period of 30 years.

Propel Funeral Partners Limited (Propel) acquired Norwood as a wholly owned subsidiary during 2018. Council had no objection to the acquisition at the time.

ifuture Theme

Vibrant and Growing

Purpose of Report/Background

Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery opened in 1971, operated by the Ipswich Cemetery Trust. Council was appointed trustee for the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery in 1979 by Government Gazette. The Cemetery is currently estimated to have over 16,500 existing burials and inurnments.

A 30-year contract with Norwood was commenced in 2011, for the management of Council’s cemeteries. As a broad overview, Norwood has responsibilities for general grounds maintenance and death care services for all cemeteries except for the ground’s maintenance at the Ipswich General Cemetery. The responsibility for capital works has some ambiguity as there is no specific clause to define the responsibility for capital infrastructure within the Deed or Trustee Lease.

A requirement of the Deed was that Norwood develop a Master Plan. Argo Architects and Master Planners (Argo) were contracted by Norwood to produce a Master Plan in consultation with Council Officers and Norwood. The Plan and conceptual design illustrations were presented to the Health and Community Safety Committee dated 11 February 2013 and later adopted at the Council meeting of 19 February 2013 (Attachment 1).

In 2021 a review of the current Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery master plan was undertaken. Since the establishment of the Deed in 2011, the only significant capital work undertaken at any of the cemeteries is the construction of a crematorium, a tearoom, chapel, and office at Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery, which was a requirement of the Deed. It has been identified that the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery has limited capacity for lawn burials within the developed infrastructure on the site. It was estimated that burial capacity would be reached within the developed area by the end of the 2025-2026 financial year. Additionally, it was determined that the plan should be updated, as key components are likely to be unachievable due to legislative requirements protecting the Melaleuca irbyana forest, located within the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery.

Melaleuca Irbyana is listed as an endangered species under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (QLD), as an endangered regional ecosystem under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (QLD) and an endangered vegetation community under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth). The extent of the stringent environmental protection requirements, seem to have been under-estimated within the current master planning documents.

A Preliminary Concept Master Plan (Attachment 2) has been developed to capture critical works required to expand the existing infrastructure in Section 3 of the cemetery increasing the capacity of available plots for burials. This preliminary plan also captured existing constraints and opportunities associated with the site and considers concepts on a preferred planting palette, materials palette, and the like.

It is proposed that the Preliminary Concept Master Plan form the foundation for the development of a revised Concept Master Plan which will identify the most appropriate use of the site and establish staging for capital works planning. The revised Concept Master Plan will also detail the proposed yield of the developable land for cemetery services, informing the likely duration for when the site will reach capacity for cemetery services.

A substantial constraint associated with the cemetery is the impact of flooding during significant rain events. The 2011 flood impact on the cemetery has been the most extensive of all recent flood events with numerous burial plots inundated, including the entire nursery/infant section of the cemetery. Flood modelling for the Bremer River catchment produced in 2019 indicates that a 1 in 100 flood event would likely impact on the property further (Attachment 3). Inundation of the property is unavoidable as Ebenezer Creek flows through the adjoining property to the North and Warrill Creek is located less than 500m to the East. It is proposed that the Concept Master Plan allow for burials within the flood modelling area of 0.50 to 1.00 depth but no greater.

Legal/Policy Basis

This report and its recommendations are consistent with the following legislative provisions:

Local Government Act 2009

Local Government Regulation 2012

Local Law 7 (Local Government Controlled Areas and Roads)

Subordinate Local Law 7.1 (Local Government Controlled Areas and Roads)

Land Act 1994

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000.

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

There is an expectation from the Ipswich community that cemetery services be provided by Council. Burials are performed at the Warrill Park Lawn Cemetery on a frequent basis, averaging a combined total of over 250 burials and inurnments of cremains yearly. This number is expected to increase with the increasing residential populations.

The Cemetery is currently estimated to have over 16,500 existing burials and inurnments and following a review in August 2022 it was determined that 779 available burial plots remained within the developed area of the cemetery. Based on burial rate data, it is expected that the cemetery will reach capacity within the existing developed area by the end of the 2025-2026 financial year.

Development of the site and the construction of infrastructure is required to make more land available for burials and inurnments of cremains. The proposed Concept Design Master Plan will detail the future development of the site to increase the capacity to enable cemetery services to continue.

The application states that the approval is sought for exploration activities within the Priority Living Area ‘to determine the presence of all minerals other than coal, with a focus on determining the presence of Clay (Brick Clay) and Shale’ and includes that:

A. activities include Geological Data Collection, Drilling to approximately 25m depth and Geophysical Surveys

B. activities are low impact activities with minimal ground disturbance and no permanent infrastructure

C. activities are in the Rural zone of the Ipswich City Planning Scheme.

The reason Council is an assessing agency for this application under the RPI Act 2014 is because the land subject to the application is in the Priority Living Area of the RPI Act 2014 The Priority Living Area is an area that roughly aligns with the South-East Queensland Regional Plan.

Council’s role in the process is to provide advice on the expected impact of the activity on –

A. the opportunity to protect and enhance the land for urban development; and

B. The amenity of, and the community in, the priority living area.

This function is prescribed under Schedule 1 of the Regional Planning Interests Regulation 2014.

The criteria which the application is assessed is prescribed under Schedule 2 of the Regional Planning Interests Regulation 2014 and are as follows -

A. the activity is unlikely to adversely impact on development certainty—

i. for land in the immediate vicinity of the activity; and

ii. in the priority living area generally;

B. carrying out the activity in the priority living area, and in the location stated in the application, is likely to result in community benefits and opportunities, including, for example, financial and social benefits and opportunities.

Comments

With respect to Schedule 1 of the RPI Regulation 2014, the expected impact of the activity is considered minimal. The application is for mining exploration activities which are low-impact and are not expected to cause amenity issues, as the activities appear similar to soil testing/boring.

With respect to Schedule 2 of the RPI Regulation 2014, it is not expected that the exploration activity is likely to adversely impact on development certainty for the land in the immediate vicinity of the activity.

However, if the exploration identifies resources suitable for mining, there are concerns about the appropriateness of future mining activities in the identified locations. With respect to Schedule 2 of the RPI Act 2014, future mining activities that may occur after exploration (and subject to a separate RIDA) are likely to adversely impact on land in the immediate vicinity for the following reasons;

· The subject sites are predominately within the Rural A and Rural B Zones. The Overall Outcomes of the Ipswich Planning Scheme 2006 for the Rural Areas seeks to maintain the rural amenity. There are concerns relating to potential impacts to the amenity of existing residents and nearby tourism uses (such as Spicers); and

· The existing road infrastructure will be heavily impacted by any future mining uses, with upgrades likely to be required. In addition, there are concerns relating to proposed haul routes, especially through or near existing residential areas.

The above comments are contained in Attachment 1 as the response to DSDILGP.

Monthly Program Variances Greater than $100k (Budget vs Actual)

Asset Rehabilitation was $222k under budget for the month of December, despite several projects being well over budget.

The Keanes Rd Bridge project was $453k under budget, due to the contract just being awarded and contractor yet to establish on site.

Other projects of Moores Pocket Rd, Hunter St, South Station Rd, Settler Rd and Johnston Way incurred a combined underspend of $1.50mil.

The One Mile Bridge (painting) carry over project had an unbudgeted spend of $226k, with further spend forecast to continue through to May.

The Footpath Rehabilitation carry over project of Blackstone Rd incurred a final unbudgeted spend of $218k.

Ongoing carry over repair works at Ipswich Street, Grandchester incurred an unbudgeted spend $145k.

The Sports Field Lighting project incurred an underspend of $257k.

Parks, Sport & Environment was on budget for the month of December, despite certain budget variances.

The Redbank Plains Rec Res Skate Park incurred an unbudgeted final spend of $412k to complete the project.

Jim Donald Parklands Footpath incurred zero spend against the $150k budgeted.

Local Amenity was $239k over budget for the month of December.

The Alice St K&C project incurred an unbudgeted spend of $347k, which was offset by the underspend of $177k for the Kerb & Channel Improvements Bucket.

Transport & Traffic was $861k over budget for the month of December.

The Springfield Greenbank Arterial Rd Upgrade was $722k over budget due to increased progress off the back of rain delays last month.

The Springfield Parkway Upgrade had an underspend of $266k, which was offset by works completed on Springfield Greenbank Arterial UG. Good Progress across the Stage including milestones of Asphalt laid for new lanes opposite Hymba Yumba, below the Escarpment and north of the Opossum Creek Bridge. Unfortunately, due to weather and other impacts it was not possible to complete the traffic switch opposite Hymba Yumba and this has been reprogramed for late January.

The Early Works Partial PC defects list has been actioned with only QA and finalising Services Relocation Support Variations remaining to close out the Contract.

Works on the Queen and Albert St’s signalised intersection project continued, with an unbudgeted spend of $381k for continuation with placement of pavement gravel and deeplift asphalt being laid. The required lighting design is also under review by Energex.

There was $209k of unbudgeted spend against the Augusta Parkway Lighting project and $27k of unbudgeted spend against the Blackspot funded traffic signal projects of Ishmael & Dale Rd’s and Roderick &Waghorn St’s.

PTAIP Bus Stop projects recorded $2.5k of expenditure against completed design progress for further sites scheduled for delivery this FY. Forward design effort continued for School Rd Upgrade with an overspend of $22K and further design was undertaken on footpath projects at Mansfield Place, Keidges Rd, Murphy St, Ellenborough St, Brassall Bikeway Stage 6A and Bremer St Stage 4.

There was further unbudgeted spend against completion of the Pine Mountain Rd safety project of $62k and unbudgeted spend of $23k against the Signs & Lines program.

Fleet was $463k over the budget baseline for the month of December.

There was an overspend of $444k against Waste Truck Replacement for an outstanding order that received this in December. An unbudgeted spend of $154k was incurred against Truck Replacement and a further unbudgeted spend of $154k was incurred against Major Plant Acquisitions.

There was a budgeted spend of $53k for further a passenger vehicle and $24k for Minor Plant items.

Further truck replacements are now scheduled for January and March 23, with further Waste truck purchases scheduled each month through to the EOFY.

Summary

The current actuals to budget variance at end of November 2022 is $3.5 mil ahead of the baseline.

The Baseline cashflow is set to increase moderately in the second half of the FY, with the largest spend of $18.9mil phased in June., which was reduced from $22.3mil last month.

The forecast peak in June expenditure of $18.9mil continues to be attributed by a forecast of $17.6mil across several projects, as per the following:

o Springfield & RBP Stage 3 - $4.69mil

o Payment to the tri-Council Material Recycling Facility - $4.24mill

o Materials Recovery Facility - $4.24mil

o White Rock Boardwalk - $1.7mil

o Fleet Purchases - $1.85mil

o Clubhouses - $900k

Full-year forecasting remains optimistic for the second half of the financial year, with some significant procurement activities required if the spend is to be achieved.

The progress against the larger budget items will be reassessed during January and further scrutinised during February, to ensure the forecast spends are achievable and where necessary forecast timings will be reviewed and potentially adjusted through the budget amendment process.

Major Projects

Springfield Parkway & Springfield-Greenbank Arterial Road Upgrade

Expenditure for the combined projects in December was $298k over budget expectations ($2.03 mil budget vs $2.33 mil actual).

Both Stages progressed well up to Christmas with major milestones being 3 sections of new lanes Asphalted in Stage 1 and the Stadium frontage pavement sealed and ready for Asphalt in Stage 3. Unfortunately, due to weather and other impacts it was not possible to complete the traffic switch opposite Hymba Yumba and this has been reprogramed for late January. The TMR Off Ramp Road Permit has now been issued with works to start in January, but this has caused delays.

Stage 2 has reached the 80% Design Milestone and is with the ICC Internal Teams for Review. We continue to progress Service Relocation designs.

Stage 1 - Good Progress was made across the stage in December

· Progress across the Stage included milestones of Asphalt laid for new lanes opposite Hymba Yumba, below the Escarpment and north of the Opossum Creek Bridge

· Activities included, unbound pavements, asphalt works, footpaths, landscaping and street lighting

· Unfortunately, due to weather and other impacts it was not possible to complete the traffic switch opposite Hymba Yumba and this has been reprogramed for late January

· We are working with UU to address some design and construction issues and mitigate delays and costs

· There will be temporary closures of the Escarpment Drive/Springfield Parkway Entrance as part of works

· The Early Works Partial PC defects list has been actioned with only QA and finalising Services Relocation Support Variations remaining to close out the Contract

Stage 3 – Works continue to progress well in all zones

· Work progressed well in all Zones including milestone of sealing in front of the Stadium for Asphalt

· Stormwater, earthworks and pavements is continuing in front of the QR Eastern Car Park and it is proposed for BMD undertake the Car Park Upgrade for QR

· The rock raft for the road embankment toe opposite the ParknRide was completed using 2 rock sources and earthworks embankment filling has commenced

· Earthworks between Mains Rd and Sinnathamby Boulevard is nearing completion

· Further night works are planned for services crossings and there will be intermittent ParknRide closures

· Energex Services Relocation works have progressed further with other Utilities to follow, but there are a significant number of clashes impacting Relocations and additional potholing has been necessary

· The TMR Off Ramp Road Permit has now been issued with works to start in January, but has caused delays

Redbank Plains Rd Stage 3

Expenditure for the project in December was $180k over budget for the month.

Works continued on western side of Redbank Plains Road, with the work area now extended from Highbury Drive towards Argyle Street.

Major Milestones achieved:

Stage 1 Argyle Street to Highbury Drive

· Traffic management changes have been implemented and are working well, signage, steel barriers and VMS signs with speed feedback proving very effective in slowing traffic to 40kph

· Highbury Drive / Redbank Plains Road intersection remains closed. An issue with the watermain has delayed reopening as planned

· Excavation / fill including subgrade treatment remains ongoing. A change to the imported materials source has improved productivity

· Stormwater works on Redbank Plains Rd near Argyle Street have commenced

· Progress has slipped significantly behind program. Resequencing is required but is constrained by number of residents affected and traffic diversion routes

Issues and Constraints:

· Progress has slipped significantly behind program. Resequencing is required but is constrained by number of residents affected and traffic diversion routes

· Subgrade replacement works (to provide a stable base for road construction) is reliant on supply of rock, quarries low on stock and queue for production. Critical path works

· Change of works staging to complete both sides of RBP Rd at the Town Square shopping centre end has been adopted

· Several service clashes have been identified, made more difficult due to the subgrade replacement and extra depth of excavation.

· Contractor still struggling to secure subcontractors to meet timeframes

· Wet weather quickly renders site unworkable. Noted erosion and sediment controls are well maintained and effective

Resurfacing Program

Expenditure on the 2022-2023 resurfacing program was $376k under the budget baseline of $1.02mil budget vs $643k actual.

The scheduled 2022-2023 program is progressing well with resurfacing prep works continuing and bitumen seals and asphalt overlays well underway on the following streets:

· Area 8 – Church St, Goodna – (pavement repairs and seal)

· Area 7 – Phyllis St, Eastern Heights (premill, seal and overlay)

· Area 6 – Mining St (edge repair and corrector)

o Leslie St (premill, seal and overlay)

· Area 5 – Gasnier St (edge repair and corrector)

o Melbourne St (edge repair and corrector)

· Area 4 – Thorn St, Raceview – (pavement repairs, premill, seal and overlay)

o Aspinall St, Wulkuraka – (premill, seal and overlay)

· Area 2 – Pine Mountain Rd, Haggarty’s Ave (pavement repairs, edge repair / corrector, premill, seal and overlay

o Claus Rd, Haigslea (edge repair / corrector)

· Area 1 – Albert St (edge repair and corrector)

The current budgeted cashflow for resurfacing delivery, remains forecast through to April 2023.

The Final Estimate at Completion value was revised at the end of December and is $139k, being only slightly above the Total Budget of $14.06 mil.

PTAIP Bus Stop Program

The final designs and estimates for the fourteen new sites have been completed and are being prepared to issue to the Construction Team for delivery this FY. Extra forecast expenditure above the approved TMR split funding has been discussed and will be sourced from savings within the Capital Program this FY.

The following Bus Stop sites remain on hold due to proposed TMR route changes:

· Old Logan Road

· Site adjacent to Sutton Park at Brassall

· The four sites in the Willowbank area are being discussed further with Translink around revised Bus Stop locations identified due to potential change of Bus Routes. Translink was advised by ICC that design and delivery would need to be scheduled through to the end of the 2023-2024 FY.

· Expenditure on the Bus Stop program was only $1.5k for the month of December, for finalising design effort against the remaining eleven sites.

Grant Funding

As well as the fourteen Bus Stop projects approved for 50/50 split funding by TMR, there’s also three approved Blackspot projects funded for this FY:

· Ishmael Rd / Dale Rd Intersection - Install traffic islands and linemarking

· Smith St / Albert St Intersection – Upgrade existing traffic signals to include right turn lane on western & eastern approaches. Modify the signal phasing to provide split side streets.

· Roderick St / Waghorn St Intersection – Install traffic islands, linemarking and signage

The Ishmael Rd / Dale Rd Intersection and Roderick St / Waghorn St Intersection projects commenced construction in December and will be completed in mid-January.

The Smith St / Albert St Intersection project is scheduled for design completion at the end of January. Construction is scheduled to commence in mid-May and will be completed late June.

The TMR Roads to Recovery funding has now been allocated to the Springfield Greenbank Arterial Rd Upgrade project this FY, with the value of funding being $196,145.

The Grant Funding for the Local Roads & Community Infrastructure Program (LRCIP Round 3) of 44.65mil has been approved for the six projects in the table below:
