Further to this phase of the project, the Project Team is developing a submission to the Queensland
Reconstruction Authority (QRA) for a further $20m to $30m of asset repairs using Reconstruction of
Public Assets (REPA) grant funds. The procurement and contract awards for these works will be as
per standard Council Policy and procedure.

2. Project Timelines
The deadline for work to be completed under this grant is 3 months from the date of the event. This
means the repair works to the roads need to commence as soon as possible and be finished by 29
June, 2025 to ensure cost recovery is not compromised.

3. Next Steps
      •   Award delegation to the CEO so emergency road repairs can commence as a priority.
      •   Source and award contracts to suitable suppliers who have the capability and capacity to
          make the necessary repairs to the road.
      •   Have contractors commence and complete the works by 29 June, 2025 to ensure cost
          recovery.
