REPORT
This report is to inform Council of the overall status of the Capital Works Program at the end of
March 2022.

The report provides an opportunity to highlight and discuss projects within the program and confirm
the delivery status of projects delivered in the second quarter of the 2021/2022 financial year.

It is important to note that the financial summary provided in this report is subject to timing and
report accruals (i.e. a major project funded over multiple years may be significantly closer to
completion than the 2021/2022 financials may indicate).

The Design Services team are currently designing 13 projects (*note: pathway and bus stop
programs contain multiple 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.

Design output this quarter has been impacted by the movement of key staff (currently 2 vacant
positions), construction support and disaster support. Due to continued supply market shortages
the Design Team is working with Civil Operations and the Delivery Team to reprice, redesign or
complete options analysis to avoid critical material delays and recycle stored materials.
