Finance & Risk

There is an allocation of $400,000 in the 2015/16 financial year for the Cooroy Belli Creek Road

QRA have assessed that the project is eligible for national disaster relief funding arrangements,
with the remaining component being funded by Noosa Council. The table below shows the
approval funding from QRA and the estimated project costs.

                                                                                              ($)

                    Totals                                                 $376,725.00    $303,658.04


The total construction cost is estimated to be $303,658.04 (excl. GST). Noosa Council will be
required to contribute 25% of the costs for the eligible components. This will result in Noosa Council
contributing $75,914.51 and the QRA contributing the remaining $227,743.53.

If the completed project cost is less than the trigger point ($293,857), Noosa Council will be
required to pay the full amount.

Noosa Council has receipted an initial funding amount of $84,763.75 from QRA. This will be
required to be paid back in full if the project is under the trigger point.

Maintenance crews have cleaned the drains and made the area safe and continually monitor the
area, however, there is a high risk of further slipping if the repair is not completed as soon as
practical.
