ORDINARY MEETING                                                                     19 MARCH 2026



Current Project Program
The current program, not accounting for any further delays as a result of this report, narrowly meets
the critical project construction end date of 30 June 2027. With no remaining float/program
contingency, this is a significant risk for the project.

Table 1 below indicates current forecast milestone dates as per the project program.

Program risk mitigation - extension of time
Anecdotal advice received from ATF and SEQ Liveability Funding authorities have indicated that
both would be amenable to an extension of time request provided clear rationale is included in the
submission. The project team is working through extension of time requests with the grant funding
bodies.

The full program, including additional project consultation activities contributing to the extension of
time required is provided at attachment 8.
