SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             6 FEBRUARY 2018


4.     Project Planning & Design

The project delivery approach for 2017/18 has seen a steady flow of projects being completed.
The availability of design and planning resources has challenged the capital program with a
number of positions vacated in the first quarter. Whilst the program is on target with the year to
date budget forecasts and recruitment of these vacated positions has commenced, there will be
impacts on the delivery throughout the third and fourth quarters until design and planning
resources are re-established. The remainder of the year will focus on priority projects and
consideration for adjustments to the program will be undertaken to ensure targets are achieved.

5.     Summary

The current capital delivery expenditure to the 31 December 2017 including actuals and
commitments is $16.4M or 57% of the capital program. The delivery and completion of projects
continues across the capital works program with more resources to be recruited in coming
months to support the planning and design phases of the projects. The program is currently on
target with the year to date budget $12.7M but will need increased monitoring, as a result of the
loss of design staff in recent times that will potentially affect the delivery phase of projects.
