EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•    This report provides a status update for the Capital Works Program as at 30 September
     2022.
•    The total proposed expenditure for capital works for the 22/23 financial year is ($57.1m),
     inclusive of carry-forwards ($11m), expenditure in direct control of Infrastructure Delivery
     ($50.7m) and other such as community projects, ICT and fleet ($6.4m).
•    As at 30 September 2022, Council has expended a total of 22% of the 22/23 financial year
     budget with $20.9m in commitments.

     planning and preparing tenders based on the annual budget once confirmed.

     construction industry is proving challenging however works are currently being managed
     within overall budget limitations where feasible.

     financial year.
•    Council has a current forecast of grant funding revenue of $17.6m while Council’s
     contribution to projects with grant funding is at $17.4m and non-grant capital projects
     amounts to $22.1m.
•    The Design Services team are currently supporting the design of 14 projects with multiple
     sub-projects with an estimated design value of $988,000 and estimated construction value
     of $21m.
•    The Planning team is currently supporting key master planning initiatives with multiple
     sub-projects; estimated value $350,000 in 22/23 and an estimated future project
