PART D BRIDGES Reporting Period: 20/01/2013 – 19/2/2014 Prepared by: Tyronne Meredith Current Maintenance

Repair work was undertaken on Mungungo Creek Bridge in

Monto. This work was suspended after further assessment of the bridge indicated that it is in worse condition than originally judged. A side track is being constructed around the bridge as increased traffic is expected due to the closure of Monal Road at Dahtler’s Crossing.

Capital Tellebang Bridge

Work has been completed on the construction of a three cell box culvert crossing to replace the existing Tellebang Bridge on Tellebang Road. Minor protection works and the installation of more road furniture will be undertaken at a later date.

Mount Eagle Culvert Work has been completed on the replacement of a steel pipe

culvert on Mount Eagle Road in the vicinity of Wuruma Dam. The site has been emulsion sealed and will be hot sealed in conjunction with the reseals.

Shallcross Culvert Work is nearing completion on the construction of a two cell box

culvert crossing of Phillpot Creek on Shallcross Road. The section will be sealed in conjunction with the reseal program.

Forward Program Maintenance

Maintenance works are expected to recommence on Mountain Creek Bridge on Yarrol Road. A new rock wingwall is being constructed to increase the flood resistance of the bridge.

Minor maintenance works are expected to commence on GS Galloways Bridge in the Monto area

Mundubbera Water Maintenance: General Operator training resultant from the plant inspections by the WIOA officer last year have been programmed for March for both North & South Burnett water operators. An expected added benefit from this training will be the networking between the operators of the two Councils. Biggenden A hydrant audit was completed and a replacement program commenced. Eidsvold Work was of routine nature during the month. Gayndah Work was of routine nature during the month with a continued number of service connection failures repaired. Monto A 250mm main failure on the section of line yet to be replaced in Flinders Street caused a temporary water shortage in town. Mount Perry Work was of routine nature during the month Mundubbera Numerous main failures continued to occur during the month. This was due to a combination of aging infrastructure and ground movement as a result of the recent hot dry conditions. Mains in Strathdee St, Leichhardt St, Mahoney St and Burnett St were worst effected.

PLANT TYPE FUTURE ACTIONS

Burnett Mary Regional Group K & S Contractors have been Inspecting, Mapping and Control of Parthenium of the Boyne River, Auburn River and Barambah Creek. All three systems have been inspected with results of the Auburn being the only one with Parthenium infestation found. The next round is about to start extending up the Auburn as only 14km up stream had initially been inspected. The Boyne and Barambah will be treated for Rubber Vine this time. As far as the BMRG contract in the Northern half of the region North Burnett Landcare have had 20 landholders approved to undertake weed control totalling 34000 ha in which 1500 ha will be targeted (all 6 priority species) . Parthenium being the most common weed. Land holders along Splinter Creek are waiting for North Burnett Landcare to make it to their creek and will be available to help if they haven’t already started. For the past two week K & S Contractors have also started work under Element 5 in the Binjour area spraying Lantana. This work is being undertaken under a variation to the contract of $65,000.

INFRA 02 – CONDITION OF AUDIO EQUIPMENT IN HALLS

Responsible Officer: Trevor Harvey – Assistant Director Technical Services Report prepared by: Rachael Brauer – Facilities Officer 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to inform the Council on the state of the audio and lighting equipment in Council’s Community Halls.

2 INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND Following Council’s resolution an inspection of all audio and sound equipment in Community Halls were undertaken. A Bundaberg business was contracted to undertaken the audit and the audit results are as follows: Biggenden No audio or lighting in all. Quote to supply and installation audio system in Biggenden Hall would be approximately $16,684.00. Quote to supply and install a new lighting system in the Hall would be approximately $13,836.00. Eidsvold Only minor items required to enable a fully functioning system. Based on lack of use for this facility it has been identified that replacing only the items that are required would be the most cost effective solution. Quote to replace the items is approximately $8,000. Quote to supply and install a new lighting system in the Hall would be approximately $13,836.00. Gayndah A number of audio items were found that are not working. Based on the higher usage rate of this Hall, it is recommended a new audio system be installed. The cost of a new system is approximately $46,692.00. Advice from report is that the lighting should be upgraded to ‘wash’ the stage more effectively. New lighting system would cost the same as Biggenden and Eidsvold however the addition of a lighting desk is advised with an approximate cost of $19,000. Monto Similarly to Gayndah, audio items are very limited and new audio system required. System would be the same as that installed in Gayndah with a value of $46,692.00. Lighting upgrade same as Mundubbera and Gayndah with a value of $19,000. Mt Perry Only minor items required to enable a fully functioning system. Based on lack of use for this facility it has been identified that replacing only the items that are required would be the most cost effective solution. Quote to replace the items is approximately $8,000. Quote to supply and install a

18

new lighting system in the Hall would be approximately $13,836.00. Mundubbera Current audio system is not adequate for the size that it needs to cover. A new bigger better system is recommended and will be the same as the system recommended for Gayndah and Monto. Quote for supply and install is $46,692.00. The lighting is very aged and requires replacements if stage shows are to continue to use the facility. Lighting upgrade would be the same as Gayndah to a value of $19,000.

Please note that the quoted figures are based on quotes provided by a sound

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Undertaking the works noted above will be a very expensive exercise. It should be considered whether such a large financial injection will increase the frequency of use.

7 RISK MANAGEMENT

There is a low level of risk associated with the works noted in this report.

8 CONSULTATION

Nil 9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER

To consider the works noted above as potential capital projects for the 14/15 financial year; or

To note the report and take no further action.

19

10 OFFICER’S COMMENTS / CONCLUSION Council must consider whether it is financially viable to undertake the works listed in this report and whether the revenue from the Hall hire fees will financially support these upgrades. It can be argued that the upgrades of the audio systems would be effective as the use of these audio systems are more frequent than the use of the stage lighting. It should also be considered whether it would be more cost effective to remove lighting from the Halls altogether and leave the lighting supply up to the hirers. 11 ATTACHMENTS

12 RECOMMENDATION

To consider the works noted above as potential capital projects for the 14/15 financial year.

INFRA 03 – Stewart’s Bridge

Responsible Officer: Trevor Harvey – Assistant Director Technical Services Report prepared by: Tyronne Meredith – Project Engineer 1 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the work undertaken as part of the 2013 rebuild of Stewart’s Bridge in response to the Council resolution No 301-06-2013.

2 INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND In 2012/13 a project to rehabilitate Stewart’s Bridge on Yarrol Road was funded by council. This project was significantly delayed primarily due to the 2013 floods and was commenced in April 2013. The project was not completed by the end of the 2012/13 financial year and was carried over to 2013/14 with additional funding granted. The project involved replacing a significant portion of the superstructure and splicing a number of piles. During the process of splicing piles a number of additional defects were detected which were not initially budgeted for. This unexpected increase in scope resulted in an increased expenditure. The project was completed in September 2013 with the bridge opened without additional load limitations. 3 CORPORATE / OPERATIONAL PLAN

2013-2018 Corporate Plan Outcome 1.1 4 POLICY IMPLICATIONS N/A 5 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS N/A

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The original budget for the project was $542,000. The project costs for 2012/13 was $478,000. The original budget was carried over with an additional $100,000 into 2013/14. This resulted in a total of $642,000 of internal council funding. The final project cost was $758,000. The difference of $116,000 will be funded through R2R. 7 RISK MANAGEMENT

The risk management employed in this project was to replace defective items as they were discovered. Failure to do this would have resulted in having to program further major rebuild work in the near future. 8 CONSULTATION Consultation about extending the scope of works was carried out with the Director of Technical Services prior to commencement.

21

9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER Nil

10 OFFICER’S COMMENTS / CONCLUSION In an attempt to reduce the risk of budget exceedence on bridge work a higher level of regular inspections is being initiated on higher traffic volume bridges. It is to be noted that non-evasive and non-destructive testing methods will never reduce the possibility of unknown deterioration to zero.

INFRA 04 – RE-NAMING ROADS & UPDATING REGISTERS

Responsible Officer: Trevor Harvey – Assistant Director Technical Services Report prepared by: Trevor Harvey – Assistant Director Technical Services Anthony Balshaw – Technical Officer

1 PURPOSE OF REPORT This report is to inform Council of progress from the Renaming of Roads resolution of Council from the May 2010 General Meeting.

2 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Council resolved (12.1.3) to have the road name changes as presented, formally adopted by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM), directly communicate the changes to the effected residents and give consideration for financial compensation for the cost of mail re-directions for a period of six months. Progress on this resolution ceased due to staff relocation to manage the 2010/11 flood damage submissions and claims which has since rolled into the 2013 flood event. The back-filling of the seconded staff (November 2013) has allowed a Technical Officer to progress the project. The project scope has been expanded to include Resolution No 532-10-2013 (Darrow’s road naming) and the amalgamation of the five road asset registers into one reliable document. The establishment of the one reliable register has identified a large number (approximately 190 roads or part-road – Attachment 2) of Digital Cadastral Data Base (DCDB) anomalies which also require correction and updating by DNRM.

3 CORPORATE/OPERATIONAL PLAN 2013-2018 Corporate Plan Outcome 1.1.1 – The register update is a section of the KPI for the development and implementation of the Road Network Asset Management Plan

4 POLICY IMPLICATIONS None identified

23

5 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Local Government (Operations) Regulation 2010, Chapter 3, Part2, Division1, Section 20 – Prescribed Particulars for Road Registers

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The financial implications of this project are not fully estimated as the scope of work required has grown substantially. Progress on the signage and mail redirection costs for the original Council resolution are shown in Attachment 1. This estimate assumes all redirections are at the private rate and no estimate has been included for employees’ time to replace road signs. Numbers of effected properties in the attachment have been derived from a desk top survey; ground truthing will be required to validate the cost estimate. There will also be significant time for the Technical Officer and Asset Administration Officer to liaise with DNRM to effect the name changes and rectify the DCDB anomalies.

7 RISK MANAGEMENT The risks associated with the road renaming have been identified in the original 2010 report. There are also some statutory risks in not achieving the road register as required by the Local Government Act.

8 CONSULTATION There has been no consultation with residents or affected property owners at this stage. Notification will be made to the affected parties three weeks prior to the address change.

9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER 1. Receive the report and commence with of the re-naming of the roads as per

the original Council resolution. 2. Wait for the estimate for all costs associated with the original resolution to be

calculated and an allowance be made in the 2014/15 budget for completion. 3. Approve continuation of work to update the DCDB with the condition that any

name changes or postal redirections required will be bought to Council for approval.

24

10 OFFICER’S COMMENTS/CONCLUSION The progress of the original resolution has been slowed due the two floods suffered in the North Burnett. The recommencement of the project by a dedicated Technical Officer combined with the scope change of the project will ensure a correlation between the DNRM records and a single compliant NBRC road register. The creation of the single register has benefits with the statutory requirement to utilise asset management plans for budgeting purposes as well as the financial revaluation requirements.

11 ATTACHMENTS Attachment 1 – A list of roads with DCDB – NBRC Register(s) anomalies. Attachment 2 – Partial Cost Estimate of Road Renaming

12 RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that Council receive the report and resolve to approve sections 2 and 3 of Section 9.
