FINANCE

2.1. Operational Financial Report - 1 July 2017 - 30 November 2017

The Transport & Drainage operational budget is tracking below the YTD budget for the first five months of

the financial year due to the additional workloads associated with NDRRA and Works for Queensland

(W4Q). The W4Q expenditure funding has now been ceased as at the end of November. The budget is

currently showing an over run as the NDRRA revenue has not been received as yet to match the

expenditure to date.


MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES

3.1 Road and Drainage Maintenance Activities

The following chart details maintenance activities completed during the period as recorded in DeltaS, our

electronic Maintenance Management System (MMS).

3.2 Unsealed Road Maintenance Activities

Eight grader crews continued work on the Unsealed Road Network during November. Resource needs are

subject to ongoing review to deliver the maintenance works, NDRRA Restoration Works and Gravel

Replenishment Works within budget constraints and in desired timelines.

Intermittent rain has impacted on the delivery of unsealed road maintenance in some areas. Maintenance

crews are working hard to align the maintenance program of works with NDRRA approved works. High

priority is continuing to be allocated to roads meeting intervention or nearing intervention.

3.3 Open Drainage Maintenance

Open drain maintenance responsibilities, both routine and special maintenace activities are predominately

on schedule in readiness for the upcoming wet season. However, the recent wet weather has delayed

progress in some open drains.

16 ha of drainage mowing was completed during the reporting period.

3.4 Cyclone Debbie – REPA Repairs

NDRRA Category B

Detailed geotechnical assessments and proposed restoration works for landslips on Mt Blackwood Access

Road, Chelmans Road & Dalrymple Road are currently being prepared. Once finalised the last submission

under Category B will be forwarded to QRA for assessment and approval.

The grading and gravelling of the Unsealed Road Network is continuing. These works are being

undertaken in conjunction with Works for Queensland and normal maintenance works. Drainage repairs

have been undertaken on Tara Creek Road. Two crews which are working north of Mackay have completed

works on Kuttabul-Mt Jukes Road and are undertaking repairs to a floodway on Ruggeris Road.

One submission, mainly for restoration works on sealed roads, is still being assessed by QRA. Additional

information has been provided to QRA in response to a number of queries.

The tender for Sichter Street has been called and closes in December 2017. The detailed design for the

other major restoration project (Clews Road, Mount Charlton) has commenced. This design process will

involve obtaining a waterway barrier permit from the Department of Agriculture & Fisheries.

NDRRA Category D

Detailed design on the three proposed betterment projects (Graham Road & Sievers Road in Oakenden

and Hinton Road, Koumala) has commenced and is being undertaken by three separate engineering

consultants. The designs will be completed in December 2017.

The Environmental Recovery Package Application for coastal works for Restoration of beaches to pre TC

Debbie conditions ($6.2M), Restoration & Betterment of Vehicular Beach Accesses and St Helens Beach

Groynes ($1.5M) and Betterment Beach Nourishment at Lamberts Beach and Midge Point ($1.9M), is

currently being assessed by QRA with assistance from DEHP. Approval has been received for works on

Lamberts Beach, Cape Hillsborough Beach and Armstrong Beach totalling $1.0M. A joint inspection, with

QRA & DEHP, of all beaches included in the Application is proposed for 28 & 29 November 2017. This

inspection will assist with the assessment and approval of works.

Under the separate funding of $400k for preliminary restoration works, sand reprofiling has been completed

at Lamberts Beach and the repairs to the swimming enclosures at Halliday Bay and McEwens Beach have

also been completed. Works at Midge Point and Cape Hillsborough have commenced and will be

completed in early December 2017.


3.5 Bridge Management

Rehabilitation/strengthening works on the Head-Vassallo Road Bridge had been scheduled for completion

prior to the Christmas break, however, the project has been re-scheduled due to the impacts of the recent

wet weather, extending the cane haulage operations and due to delays in delivery of some materials. This

$95,000 rehabilitation/strengthening project is now scheduled to commence early in the new year as the

wet season permits. Rehabilitation works on Bell Creek Bridge on Munbura Road are scheduled to follow

and be undertaken in the current financial year, again within the impacts of the upcoming wet season.
