INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             18 AUGUST 2015


As previously reported, throughout 2014/15, there are some major projects that will continue on
into the 2015/16 capital program. These projects have significant budget amounts totalling $3.8m
and impact on the overall project delivery and completion results. These projects include:

    Noosaville        Munna Point Bridge Stage 2        $1.4m
    Pomona            Rifle Street Flood Mitigation     $1.4m
    Whole of Shire    Pavement reseal and rehab         $1.0m

Planning and design works continue with these projects and they are proposed to be completed
within the 2016/16 financial year. The pavement reseal and rehabilitation project was primarily
delayed due to further condition data and pavement design requirements before works could
commence.

4.    Summary

The delivery and completion of projects for the capital program increased rapidly throughout the
last 5 months of the financial year. A total of 46 projects were completed prior to the end of the
financial year. Against a total budget of $24.4m there was a spend of $14.8m in actuals plus
$1.8m commitments (these include unpaid invoices and works in progress) to reach a 68%
spend against the budget.

However, if the Munna Point Bridge - $1.4m, Pavement Reseal and rehabilitation program -
$1m, Rifle Street flood mitigation - $1.4m and the Emergent Works Allocation of $700k are taken
into account, this reduces the final budget allocation by $4.5m to $19.9m. This adjustment
indicates that a true reflection of what was delivered against the program was 83% including
actuals and commitments.

The continual improvement of capital delivery activities for the 2015/16 program will see great
improvement in the forecasting of projects to achieve the deliverables of the capital program.
