EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•    This report provides a status update for the Capital Works program as at 31 March 2022.
•    With Budget Review 2 completed in January 2022, the revised total expenditure for capital
     works for the 2021/2022 financial year is $48m; expenditure in direct control of Infrastructure
     Delivery ($41.9m) and other such as community projects, ICT and fleet represents ($6.1m).
•    As at 31st March Council has expended a total of 49.6% of the 2021/2022 financial year
     budget with $19m in commitments.
•    As a result of 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 of resources has further impacted
     the project delivery and design teams. Resulting impacts, both budget and schedule, will be
     felt throughout next quarter and carry over into 2022/2023.
•    Current Covid virus impacts are resulting in disruption to internal and external resources; the
     number of impacted staff have reduced capacity of the Infrastructure Planning, Design and
     Delivery team and external contractors.
•    The reduced availability of labour, equipment and materials and a ‘hot’ construction industry
     is proving challenging however works are currently being managed within overall budget
     limitations where feasible.
•    The road reseal program has expended $3.9m of the $5.3m budget for the 2021/2022
     financial year and has all identified projects programmed for completion by 30 June 2022.
•    Council has a current forecast of grant funding revenue of $19m while Council’s contribution
     to projects with grant funding is at $16.2m and non-grant capital projects amounts to $12.8m.
•    The Design Services team are currently supporting the design of 13 projects with multiple
     sub-projects with an estimated design value of $970,000 and estimated construction value
     of $19m. The Design Services team continues to support the Delivery team in the
     construction of over $20m worth of infrastructure and the disaster recovery effort.
•    There are currently 26 multi-year projects in various stages of completion.
