OVERVIEW

This report is for Transport and Drainage activities for the month of August 2017. Significant items in

this period include:

• There continues to be a strong focus on safety with no LTIs being recorded for the first two months of the new financial year.

• The Transport & Drainage Advisory Board Meeting was held on 17 August 2017 with several business cases reviewed and discussed.

• Eight formation grading crews are working on the rural road network undertaking a programme of routine maintenance, gravel resheeting and TC Debbie restoration works. Value for money outcomes are been achieved maximising resource utilisation to achieve operational efficiencies.

• Rehabilitation works have commenced on the timber bridge, One Mile Bridge – Mt. Pelion with works being funded under the Works for Queensland programme. Pile driving works have been completed and all works are expected by be completed in early to mid September. These works also include the Works for Queensland Round 1 funding.

• The funding for the Shellgrit Creek Drainage Upgrades (Cod Hole) drainage project was approved and the final Development Approval has been lodged. In accordance with the executed Infrastructure Agreement, the change of land ownership is now occurring with the property owner. Works are not anticipated to commence until April 2018.

• The Glenella Road project is progressing ahead of schedule and traffic was transferred over onto part of the rehabilitated section at the end of August.

• An initial review of the future capital programs for 2018/19 and 2019/20 has commenced with the intent to brief Council later in the calendar year.

• A briefing was provided to Councillors to support a process for development a Statement of Intent (SOI) for each rural road to establish its required level of service against the road hierarchy. The approach aims to address critical defects over a number of roads instead of investing in a single road and will assist with prioritising what are the critical works that should be programmed. It is intended to commence the development of the SOI in the current financial year.

SAFETY

1.1. Incidents and Injuries

The incident statistic details a summary of the Transport and Drainage safety incident performance.

Transport and Drainage aspires to achieve zero harm with a stretch target of zero injuries

There have been several vehicle incidents within the first two months of the financial year within Civil

Operations. A review of the previous three (3) years for Civil Operations highlighted good trends on

vehicle incidents and at fault incidents. These early results have been identified and discussed back

within the Civil Operations team to address the current trend.

2.1. Operational Financial Report - 1 July 2017 - 31 August 2017

The Transport & Drainage operational budget is in line with expected YTD budget for the first two months

of the financial year when NDRRA and Works for Queensland (W4Q) are taken into account.

The capital spend is largely in line with the forecast for the first two months. Good progress is being

made with the favourable weather conditions across a number of projects.


MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES

3.1 Road and Drainage Maintenance Activities

The following chart details maintenance activities completed during the period as recorded in DeltaS, our

electronic Maintenance Management System (MMS).

3.2 Unsealed Road Maintenance Activities

Maintenance of, repairs to and gravel resheeting on the unsealed road network are continuing as a priority project to restore the access standrad to rural properies and support rural industries haulage operations throughtout the network. Gravel resheeting/replenishment delivered under the Works for Queensland (W4Q) project is well advanced with 50% of the allocated funding spended to date.

3.3 Open Drainage Maintenance

Impovement works on Noman’s Drain – Juliet Street to Symons Street is nearing completion. In total 200

metres of drain has been reconstructed to replace the deteriorated drain that had failed in numerous

locations. Special manitence works involving de-silting, cleaning out and re-profiling of five priority open

drains are on schedule and will be completed in early September. These works are being undertaken

under the Works for Queensland project.

Drainage maintenance in preparation for the pending wet season is in progess with 45ha of open

drainage mowing undertaken during the period.

3.4 Cyclone Debbie – REPA repairs

The assessment of damage caused by Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie is nearing completion. Funding

submissions have been lodged for most of the damage – emergent & restoration. The final submissions

will be lodged by the end of September. It is expected that the total value of damage to road and

drainage infrastructure will be approximately $15 million. Grading and gravelling works on the unsealed

road network have commence in conjunction with Works for Queensland Round 1 gravelling and normal

maintenance. Repairs to damaged drainage infrastructure has commenced in the Koumala area.

3.5 Bridge Management

Further engineering analysis on nine timber bridges that were identified for Level 3 inspection, are

nearing completion. The analysis involves assessing the load carrying capacity of the bridges and

strengthening/rehabilitation works and an options analysis to assess the optimum works required to

provide the required level of service at lowest whole of life cost.

Rehabilitation works have commenced at One Mile Creek Bridge, on One Mile Road, Mt. Pelion. The

rehabilitation works predominantly involved the driving of new steel piles and replacement of defected

timber girders and headstocks.

Programming of work is underway for rehabilitation of headstocks on Clive Rogers bridge on Owens

Creek Loop Road. These works are planned to commence in early to mid September following

completion of works on One Mile Creek Bridge.
