SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                            1 MARCH 2018


4.   Alternative access during construction

The Park Road Boardwalk project will cause disruption to traffic and pedestrian movement on
and around Park Road during the life of the project. The location of the boardwalk adjacent to the
roadway necessitates the need to close one lane of Park Road in order to construct the
replacement boardwalk and requires pedestrians to use alternative pathways to access the
National Park from Little Cove.

A separate workshop will be held with Council on 7 March 2018 to review the project including
the proposed traffic and pedestrian management plan along with any amelioration efforts to
reduce the impacts to the public.

5.   Program

As part of the tender requirements, Council conditioned the project to be completed no later than
14 December 2018. Pending award, the preferred contractor Hutchinson Builders have complied
with accepting this condition and also nominated a targeted construction period of 8 months
allowing completion by October 2018, subject to favourable conditions during construction.

Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 20 July 2017, Item 6, Page 10

That Council note the report by the Project Manager to the Services and Organisation Committee
Meeting date 11 July 2017 and authorise staff to call for Expressions of Interest for the Design
and Construction of the Park Road Boardwalk from Little Cove to Noosa National Park.

Finance
Council’s 5-year capital program includes funding for the Park Road Boardwalk replacement.
Council has currently allocated a total of $1.47 million in the current budget with a forward
allowance of $6.1 million (reflecting the outcome of this tender process). The revised budget
includes an increase of $600,000 on the 2017/18 BR1 budget. Given the timing of works
commencing, a budget review submission will be required in BR3 to reflect the project being
delivered across financial years (with the 2018/19 draft budget to include the balance of works
required to be delivered after 30 June 2018).

The below table identifies the estimated project costs and budget actions.
