Risk & Opportunities
Q4 has presented several challenges and opportunities for Council. Despite facing constraints such
as weather and resourcing,, there has been significant progress in various areas. Below are the key
highlights:
•      Staff shortages constrained the Design & Delivery teams to undertake and complete the 2024/25
       Capital Works Program; however teams have worked hard to achieve high level results.
•      The 2024/25 financial year has ended with a strong actual spend given the range of challenges
       faced. Despite pressures of staffing shortages and budget constraints, Council has maintained
       solid project delivery and investment performance consistent with previous years
•      The Planning, Design and Delivery teams are collaborating closely to build on our Project
       Management Framework and improve associated processes.
•      Recruitment is underway to fill key positions in the Delivery & Design teams, with an additional
       5 new initiatives for resources being requested through the 2025/26 budget approval process to
       improve capacity for project delivery
•      Capital Works Planning for the 2025/26 financial year is complete with programming now
       commenced.
•      Quarter 4 of the 2024/25 financial year saw the finalisation of the 2025/26 capital works program,
       with two councillor workshops undertaken and the draft Program agreed for adoption.
•      The Capital Works Program and budget for the 2025/26 financial year has focused on achievable
       deliverables, while investigating innovative delivery models.
