OVERVIEW

This report is for Capital Works Department activities during the month of February 2019. Significant

items in this period include:

• The safety of our staff, contractors and the public continue to be our top priority. In February the

Department recorded four incidents, one (1) relating to the injury of Mackay Regional Council (MRC) employee and three (3) relating to asset damage. Given the high potential of MCR injury incident the Safety Department in conduction with the Capital Directorate has initiated an internal investigation to assess the root cause and look at ways to ensure adequate controls are in place to mitigate the risk for future works.

• For the month of February $6.1M of work was completed. YTD expenditure is $76.2M against a YTD forecast of $79.2M representing a 96.2% completion rate.

• Continued wet weather has again impacted progress on several projects with measures being put in place where possible to recover lost time.

• Eton water supply improvements are operational delivering softer water to Eton residents.

• Mackay Regional Sports Precinct works are substantially completed for forecast opening of the 9th

March 2019.

• Lamberts Beach NDRRA works has commenced and Midge Point works continues on schedule.

2.1. Capital Summary Report

The delivery of the 2018/19 capital program remains a significant focus of Council. The following capital

information provides a financial summary of the status of delivery against our baselined budget position

and includes the outcomes, of the recent December budget review.

The original budget was adopted by Council in July. This was amended in August to take into account

carryovers and other adjustments. Further adjustment to the capital program has occurred as part of

budget reviews carried out in September and December. To date, an amount of $13M has been deferred

to future financial years. Overall the approved budget has decreased by $10.4M comparatively to the

original budget (including carryover).

The 2018/19 capital works program is made up of a total of 506 projects with a current approved budget

of $135.6M. Delivery for the capital program is on track with 96% of the forecast YTD spend being

incurred.

2.2. Financial Performance

The table below summarises the year to date financial summary for the 2018/19 Capital program.

The ~$1.8M variance between the approved budget and the current forecast is mainly attributable to the

following:

• Reporting timelines - $1.7M of new projects approved as part of the December Quarterly Review are

not reflected in the current forecast as the forecasting process was completed prior to the December

quarterly approvals. (Major Contributors – BSIP Mackay Stage 2 Construction, Stormwater Relining

Design and the Mackay Tourism Kiosk). This will be rectified as part next month’s reporting.

Improvement initiatives / focus areas

Several safety incidents occurred during the month and this has initiated a re-focus for the department on

safety, particularly the link between heat and fatigue. Crews are trialling cooling head scarfs as well as

increased small breaks during periods of excessive heat. This, combined with additional safety focus during

tool box talks, has raised the awareness and is a good example of our staff pro-actively managing safety

risks. At the department Workplace Health and Safety committee meeting an initiative to invite a different

field crew to each meeting was agreed with the aim of providing all staff a further opportunity to provide

safety input.

WATER & SEWERAGE PROJECT UPDATES

5.1 60080-rwi-New Eton Bore

Overview

Mackay Regional Council (Council) manages water supply schemes for several small townships within the

region including Eton. These water supply schemes generally consist of raw water drawn from bores, a

water pump station, chlorination system, treated water storage and reticulation network.

Following engagement with the Eton community in late 2016 the aesthetic water hardness was identified

as a key concern to which Council made a commitment to find a solution. The proposed project works

includes a new production bore drilled to access better quality water from a shallow aquifer and direct

treatment with raw water being softened with the use of an ion exchange softening process. In addition to

this, chemical dosing equipment to bring about PH correction/adjustment will also be installed.

The geotechnical investigations, trial bores and construction of a new production bore were completed in

May 2018.

5.2 Sewer Renewals - Replacement: Mackay and Sarina

Overview

As a part of maintaining the condition of the sewer reticulation network, Mackay Regional Council has a program to inspect its gravity sewer mains through Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) works. CCTV work undertaken has identified several sewer mains that require repair works. The most cost- effective approach to sewer renewals is to insert a structural liner into the existing sewers which restores the sewer to as new condition. Relining has the added benefit of sealing all pipe joints reducing the ingress of groundwater which is a major component of inflow and infiltration that leads to surcharging within the sewerage networks. The intent of the Contract is to rehabilitate assets by “no dig” methods via in-situ lining of deteriorated sections of gravity sewer to restore the structural integrity, hydraulic capacity and efficiency of the network. This rehabilitation constitutes a key part of the efficient and systematic management of the sewer system by minimising replacement costs and minimising the risk of emergency repair costs, damage to property and the receiving environment and related service disruptions. The sewer repair sites are located at various sites within the Mackay and Sarina regions. The methods of repair include junction sealing and both point patching and full relining. The works include all necessary customer consultation, CCTV inspections, relining, clean up, removal of all construction items, and the restoration of property and other related work where required.

• 21.3 km of CCTV inspection in Mackay

• 3.4 km of sewer relining in Sarina (part funded by W4Q2)

• 8.9 km of sewer relining in Mackay


The works have been Contracted to Interflow Pty Ltd for relining commencement in November 2018. Project Overview

Junction Seal is outstanding.

✓ Sewer pre-cleaning and CCTV inspections commenced in Mackay in the 3rd week of November 2018

and pipe relining commenced on 3 December 2018. Some days lost to rain delay through December,

January and February, however works generally progressing well with majority of large diameter

main relining complete by end of February. An extension of time claim for Package A & B is currently

being assessed (due to wet weather and an increased numbers of Junction Seals) for a revised date

for Practical Completion of 24 March 2019.

✓ The Contractor is planning to commence the 3rd and final package of works (C) earlier than was

expected and may be finished earlier than what was previously scheduled – late May versus by 30th

June 2019.

5.3 Mirani STP Effluent Storage Expansion

Overview

License conditions for the Mirani Sewerage Treatment Plant only allow for wet weather discharges from

the existing 60ML effluent storage dam when a dilution rate of 5:1 is achieved in the adjacent cane drain –

this is generally only when there is a significant rain event. Under current inflow conditions, the 60ML dam

frequently reaches capacity due to the restrictions on discharging and the existing recycled water users

(the adjacent cane farm and the Pioneer Valley Golf Course) having limited capacity for use. A water

balance assessment concluded that, to limit the risk of out of license discharges, storage capacity needed

to be increased from 60ML to 360ML.

This project is being partly funded by the State Government through the Local Government Grants and

Subsidies Program and incudes construction of a new 300ML effluent storage dam as well as a transfer

pump station at the existing 60ML dam and a pipeline between the two dams.
