PEREGIAN BEACH ACTIVE STREET - STAGE 1 PROGRESS UPDATE AND NEXT STEPS (Deferred from the Ordinary Meeting dated 19 March 2026 - Item 12.2) · Report

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                                 9 JUNE 2026


components of this work to be part funded through the ATF grant. The project team will continue to
pursue this opportunity.

Recommendations E and F, if supported, will require further consideration as part of Councils
budgetary processes, as well as profiling for grant opportunities.


Risk & Opportunities
1. Base Case Risk

   Project timeline not meeting the funding deadline resulting in exposure of Council to the part/full
   project cost and needing to fund this from Council reserves

          a. Triggers:
               i.    Delay in commencement of construction works
               ii. Inability to deliver the approved scope due to delays during construction
               iii. Repairs to existing infrastructure prior to project commencement


          b. Drivers:
               i.    Additional community engagement absorbing programme float and budget
                     contingency
               ii. Construction period being pushed into wet season


           c. Mitigations:
                i.   Seek time extension: SEQ Liveability Fund
                ii. Seek time extension: Active Transport Funding (ATF)
                iii. Procurement: Undertake concurrently with engagement activities to ensure a
                     quick release of tender package to the market.
                iv. Approval: Recommending contract award direct through CEO to avoid time
                    delays with Council meetings.



2. Base Case Opportunities
   a. Existing infrastructure: The project provides the opportunity to address inadequacy and
      requirement for emergent works to repair storm water assets prior to/during project
      implementation. Further project timeline delays and cost impacts.
   b. Leverage funding structure: As the ATF grant is for construction only funding, matching the
      SEQ Liveability contribution. The potential exit to expand the scope of works using council
      reserves, matched by the ATF grant, to address emergent and repair works.
