Transport Fund.

As the ATF grant is for construction only funding, matching the SEQ Liveability contribution, there
are incentives to keep non-construction associated costs to a minimum.

At the time of drafting this report, additional costs arising from additional community engagement
and project scope changes for Stage 1 have not been reconciled and will require further
consideration at Council's Capital Works Executive. It is noted that proposed design changes have
been scoped as reasonable considerations. There may be an opportunity for the construction
components of this work to be part funded through the ATF grant. The project team will continue to
pursue this opportunity.

Recommendations E and F, if supported, will require further consideration as part of Councils
budgetary processes, as well as profiling for grant opportunities.


Risk & Opportunities
1. Base Case Risk

   Project timeline not meeting the funding deadline resulting in exposure of Council to the part/full
   project cost and needing to fund this from Council reserves

          a. Triggers:
               i.   Delay in commencement of construction works
               ii. Inability to deliver the approved scope due to delays during construction
               iii. Repairs to existing infrastructure prior to project commencement
