INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  22 JULY 2014


A more detailed status report of these projects will be undertaken whilst preparing the 2014/2015
budget review 1 due at the completion of the 2013/14 financial reconciliation in September 2014.

Whilst there are a number of the projects nearing completion as indicated in the attached
spreadsheet there are also projects that are not completed due to their delivery method being
multi-year projects (projects that are delivered over 2 or more financial years) and these include:
 Noosa Parade Munna Point Bridge rehabilitation
 Noosa waters revetment walls rehabilitation
 Sealed Road pavement surveys and investigations

4.       Summary
The overall delivery of the first Noosa Council Capital works program achieved the delivery of 21
of a total 37 projects with a further 8 projects 50% completed or greater. The total capital
expenditure was at 75% of revised budget and if commitments are included this increases spend
to 84%. This is a significant achievement for the capital delivery team that had the Design and
Delivery Manager on leave for the first 10 weeks of the year; only one designer was on staff, who
was also absent for the last 2 months of the financial year; the area was also impacted by service
reviews; and, as everyone else in Council, also commenced from “a standing start”.

Further review of the non-completed projects will be considered at the first 2014/15 capital works
budget review due in September 2014.

Previous Council Consideration
The capital works program has previously been distributed to Councillors (document titled
