SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                            10 MAY 2022


Risks & Opportunities
Risks that have presented challenges to delivery of the Capital Works Program include the increased
costs associated with and reduced availability of equipment and materials. This is compounded by
a decreased availability of contractors as a result of the flooding disaster events in February 2022.
The construction industry is also proving challenging due to this inflated market and future
uncertainty and lack of confidence in supply chain and availability of manpower, resulting in the
private sector adopting a wait and see approach due to above constraints.
The number of Covid impacted population is also proving a challenge to both internal and external
resources. Council is working closely to monitor the situation and managing its internal resource pool
to reduce the impact where possible. Council is also monitoring the external contractors resource
impacts which are resulting in some forecast construction and supply chain delays.
