EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project delivery status report is presented regularly to the Services & Organisation
Committee. This report particularly highlights the projects that have commenced or are nearing
completion in the second quarter of the 2017/2018 financial year.

This report also provides a capital project delivery spreadsheet (Attachment 1) that gives a
general overview of the financial status of all projects as they are delivered.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Manager to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 6 February 2018 providing an update on the status of the projects
being delivered in the 2017/18 Capital Works Program.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the overall status and associated activities of
the Capital Works Program to the end of December 2017. The report also provides an
opportunity to highlight and discuss projects within the program, and confirm the delivery status
of projects as they are delivered throughout the 2017/2018 financial year.

There are currently 114 active projects in the 2017/18 capital program as of 31 December 2017
(including the carryover projects from 2016/2017) with a value of $28.6M.

1.                       Current Projects
The Project Delivery and Design teams are now focused on the design and delivery phases for
the majority of projects within the Capital Works Program. While the design stages of projects
require significant internal resourcing, this stage usually results in limited expenditure being
recorded against the projects until the delivery /construction phases commence which then
consume high expense in shorter periods of time.

The construction phase of projects will progressively increase and will continue through to the
end of June 2018. It is important to note that the commitments allocation reflects the extent of
planning and design activities undertaken with $4.2M of commitments raised as of 31 December
2017 and a total of $12.1M of actuals expended.

Projects being delivered across the capital program which are nearing completion include:

Peregian Beach                          Digital Hub Project
Noosaville                              Wallace Park Pathway Renewals
Noosa Heads                             Noosa Spit SLSQ Storage Facility
