EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a status update for the Capital Works program as at 30 June 2022.
    The year-to-date capital delivery expenditure to 30 June 2022 is $31.4m or 71% of the
     Capital budget. Additionally, $22.7m has been committed to multi-year projects.
    As a result of the May 2022 flood event and the February 2022 flood event, 4 major projects
     along with 130 council assets have been impacted. Additionally, internal resources have
     been redirected to disaster management and now recovery activities. This redirection
     continued to impact both budget and schedule in the last quarter and resulted in a carry over
     into 2022/2023 of approx. $14m

     completed, reaching $5m in actual spend.

     with grant funded projects is $16.2m and $12.8m to non-grant funded capital projects.

     sub-projects with an estimated design value of $970,000 and estimated construction value
