EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a recommendation for the appointment of the preferred civil contractor for
the construction of Dr Pages Road. It also provides an update of the design and environmental
issues that have occurred following the report to Infrastructure & Services Committee dated 18
August 2015.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Infrastructure Planning & Design Manager to the General
Committee Meeting dated 19 October 2015 and:
A.   Award tender 1516T017 Dr Pages Road and Kinmond Creek Road Upgrade - Construction
     to Shadforths Pty Ltd for the lump sum price of $4,659,830 (excluding GST) subject to
     satisfactorily responding to Council’s request for tender clarification;
B.   Allocate an additional $800,000 from Council’s infrastructure renewal budget allocation for
     the renewal of culverts along Dr Pages Road in the second quarter budget review; and
C.   Delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make a determination on any remaining
     issues requiring clarification.



REPORT
The sealing this section of Dr Pages Road and Kinmond Creek Road will complete a missing link
in the tourist road network of Noosa Shire. It will also resolve some existing road issues such as
poor geometric and surface conditions and a very low flood immunity.

The new design, will create two sealed 3.5 metre traffic lanes on an 8.5m formation and has a
design speed of 60-80km/hr, with a flood immunity generally correlating with a 10 year
recurrence interval event.

The design presented to Council is a significant improvement on the previous Sunshine Coast
Regional Council draft design concept, which had no improvement in flood immunity and culvert
renewals, and would not have added any value to the existing road network.
