EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project delivery status report is presented regularly to the Infrastructure and Services
Committee. The report highlights projects that have been either completed or nearing completion
and a general overview of projects being delivered.

This report also provides a capital project delivery spreadsheet (Attachment 1) that provides a
general overview of the projects status and general performance as the projects are being
delivered. The capital delivery project dashboard has been incorporated into this attached
spreadsheet to demonstrate an individual project’s status and overall delivery status.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Asset Planning Coordinator to the Infrastructure & Services
Committee Meeting dated 10 November 2015 providing an update on the status of the projects
being delivered in the 2015/16 Capital Works Programme.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to inform the Infrastructure & Services Committee of the overall
status of the Capital Works Programme projects. The report also provides an opportunity to
highlight and discuss projects within the Programme and also confirm the completion of projects
as they are being delivered throughout the 2015/2016 financial year.

1.                       Current Projects

The major focus for project delivery and design staff in the first quarter has been with the
planning and design of Dr Pages Road upgrade. This project has utilised the majority of design
and project resources within Council. However, with the tender recently awarded, the project is
now focussed on the construction of the upgraded road with an estimated completion date of
early April 2016. The design team are now focused on delivering the remainder of the
Programme.

The project delivery approach for 2015/16 is to have the majority of projects well underway
and/or construction nearing completion within the second and third quarters of the financial year.
The final quarter will be utilised for finalisation of the current Programme and planning for the
next financial year’s capital Programme. There are currently 117 active projects in the 2015/16
capital Programme with a value of $27.4m (not including Emergent Works reserve) as of 30
October 2015.
