Steve Cosatto advised of an amendment: Previous minutes refer item 7.1 motion regarding transfer of underspent funds from Mareeba Shire Council’s Anzac Avenue and Black Mountain Road projects to Cairns Regional Council’s Aumuller Street Project, minutes showed underspent funds as: “MSC 264/LGSR/19 Anzac Avenue - final claim $73,768 - Underspent - $1,232 MSC 264/LGSR/30 Black Mountain Road - final claim $110,751 - Underspent - $14,249 Total Underspent - $15,491” However the Minutes should have shown the underspent funds as: MSC 264/LGSR/19 Anzac Avenue - final claim $60,751 - Underspent - $14,249 MSC 264/LGSR/30 Black Mountain Road - final claim $123,768 Underspent - $1,232 Total Underspent - $15,491 Steve Cosatto advised the Minutes would be amended accordingly. MOVED Ray Kirkman SECONDED Ashley Greenwood That the minutes of Technical Committee Meeting No. 79 held on 27 March 2015 in Cairns be confirmed as a true and accurate record of the meeting.

(Email was sent to RRTG Wednesday, 22 April 2015 1:21 PM and was supported). ACTION REQUIRED As there were no scheduled meetings of the RRTG Board until Monday 1 June 2015, Steve Cosatto to forward “flying minute” to RRTG Board members. The FNQRRTG Technical Committee last met on 27 March 2015. At this meeting, the group recommended the transfer of budgetary savings from Mareeba Shire Council’s 2014-15 projects of Black Mountain Road of $1,232 (264/LGSR/30) and Anzac Avenue of $14,259 (264/LGSR/19) totaling $15,491, to the highest priority ranked 2014-15 project, which was Cairns Regional Council’s Aumuller Street upgrade project (214/LGSR/23). The recommendation reads as follows: “Moved: Ray Kirkman Second: Dave Goodman That, for the 2014/15 financial year, the savings from jobs No. 264/LGSR/19 Anzac Avenue ($1,232) and No. 264/LGSR/30 Black Mountain Road ($14,249), totaling $15,491, be transferred to the highest ranked project for 14/15 - Cairns Regional Council project No. 214/LGSR/23 Aumuller Street, and that the 15/16 financial year expenditure amount would decrease by the same amount. Aumuller Street 14/15 allocation would increase from $316,500 to $331,991 and the 2015/16 financial year allocation would decrease from $583,500 to $568,009. CARRIED”

ATSI Councils will receive submission documentation next week. Copy of submission request to be forwarded to FNQROC for distribution.

5.3 RRTG to be utilised as a forum to report on other State funding programs PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED David Hamilton proposed to simplify the administration process of funding programs administered by TMR (ie. Black Spot, Bridges Renewal Program, Heavy Vehicle Safety Program and Royalties to Regions) by developing existing documents currently being utilised to administer the ATSI TIDS program templates included (refer attached): 1 - 13

• Funding Agreement Form – Deed of Agreement, • Post Completion Report, • Change of Scope, • Monthly Report Form • Project Management Form, • Acquittal Form,

David Hamilton proposed that this would be an initiative from FNR TMR and encouraged feedback from Councils in the development of the generic documents. David Hamilton advised that should Councils receive funding approval from Federal Government (those which required TMR involvement) LG’s should contact TMR re: “Deed of Agreement” to ensure streamlined administration/payment process. In principle support was offered to the proposal, and David Hamilton to discuss with State and Federal representatives and to provide further advice at next meeting. ACTION REQUIRED

Steve Cosatto to forward template documents to Councils for feedback. Allocation of $1.26 million R4R allocated to CCRC for Wharf is not shown in the TMR Program. ACTION REQUIRED David Hamilton to identify letter of authorization to add to the program.

Jo Lencz (JL) commented that as the transition process was new to all members ie TMR, RRTG’s and the Aboriginal Councils the workshop was beneficial to all parties. JL advised that any funding allocations to Aboriginal Councils did not require any co-contributions from those Councils. David Goodman commented that the workshop had identified “grey areas” that would need to be amended as they may create difficulties into the future. Shahab Katebi (SK) asked if YASC could forward claim its allocation? JL advised that YASC $47,217 was part of a four year bulk funding arrangement and YASC was able to claim in advance however additional funding for that year would have to come out of total RRTG TIDS funding allocation for that financial year and proposal would need to be accepted by the RRTG. SK advised that YASC was currently seeking funding for resealing works along Back Beach Road approximate value $660,000. JL advised that this forum could assist YASC identify additional Federal and State funding streams.

5.5 Follow up on CSIRO Transit Tool: ACTION REQUIRED Steve Cosatto to follow up with CSIRO regarding the drafting of a project plan (short and longer term). Following the RRTG 27 March meeting Jo Lencz, Jen Damon, Darlene Irvine and Steven Cosatto met with CSIRO representative Andrew Higgins to further consider the capabilities of the program and how they could most benefit the FNQRRTG. Jo Lencz, Darlene Irvine, David Goodman, Jen Damon and Steven Cosatto met again on 29 April 2015. Jen Damon has drafted a project plan which is currently being reviewed. Steve Cosatto has been in discussions with Andrew Higgins who had advised that Tony Abbott announced at Beef Week that $100 million had been set aside for Beef Roads and that the CSIRO Transit Tool would be utilised to prioritise works that identify the greatest impact to the industry. Andrew Higgins added that “The Beef Roads project may take up to 12 months”. Darlene Irvine commented that this gives us time to finalise the FNQRRTG project plan. There was general discussion regarding the Transit Tool. 4


5.6 WWASC allocation for planning and scoping

PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED Jo Lencz to email Jaime Guedes, WWASC, confirming that 14/15 allocation may be utilised for planning and scoping works. Jo Lencz advised that the action point required amendment as there was no 14/15 TIDS allocation for WWASC, financial year in question is 15/16. Jo Lencz advised that Jaime Guedes had been advised.

5.7 In the event that the FNQRRTG receives increases in 15/16 TIDS allocation PREVIOUS ACTIONS REQUIRED • Jo Lencz to advise FNQRRTG of any confirmed increases in TIDS allocation. • In the event that the FNQRRTG receive official advice

o Steve Cosatto will forward Project Prioritisation Tool (PPT) to Councils. o All Councils to review their work programs 15/16 and 16/17 to gauge their ability to

increase capacity should funding permit. o Councils to populate PPT with the additional projects that they wished to be considered

by the FNQRRTG TC, for consideration at the next FNQRRTG TC meeting on Friday 22 May in Atherton.

In consultation with the RAPT Steve Cosatto advised Councils 16 April 2015 via email that it was highly unlikely that there would be any increase in the 15/16 TIDS Allocation. Steve Cosatto referred to a copy of letter from Minister for Main Roads, Mark Bailey, to the Inland Working Action Group (see attached) which advised of additional TIDS allocation for the 16/17 financial year. 14 General discussion – Member Councils should continue the prioritisation of their works programs with a view that additional funds would be available for the 16/17 financial year.

Darlene Irvine advised that Wujal Wujal have spent $30,000 in survey work, project management and scoping of China Camp Road in the belief that their funding commenced in the current 14/15 financial year. She had advised Wujal Wujal that she would make a request to the FNQRRTG TC to consider transferring any available under spent funds to Wujal Wujal. She advised that it was difficult to prioritise the project as they have commenced, this process is required to know what the project is, to be prioritised. Following general discussion, group consensus was that should the RRTG transfer underspent funds to the China Camp Road project that process would not to be consistent with the group’s current guidelines, ie transfer to the highest priority ranked project or one which spans two concurrent financial years. It was felt the group had to consistently apply the process across all members. Given the group could not prioritise the Wujal Wujal project, and that underspent funds from CCRC and TRC projects were yet to be confirmed, DI proposed that to simplify and expedite the transfer process of unspent funds from projects between now and the end of the 14/15 financial year, that underspent funds be automatically transferred to the Cairns Regional Council Aumuller Street project and for Steve Cosatto to liaise with Councils and TMR to ensure TIDS Allocation is fully claimed by 30 June 2015. The reallocation of funds for the 15/16 year to be considered at the RRTG TC 10 July meeting once exact expenditure was confirmed.

MOVED Ray Kirkman SECONDED David Goodman Any under spent TIDS funds from FNQRRTG 14/15 projects be automatically transferred to Cairns Regional Council Aumuller Street project214/LGSR/23. RRTG Technical Coordinator, Steve Cosatto to liaise with Councils and TMR to ensure TIDS Allocation is fully claimed by 30 June 2015. The re-allocation of the 14/15 TIDS funding for the 15/16 year be considered by the RRTG TC at their first meeting of the 15/16 financial year.

That the Minutes of Technical Committee Meeting No. 79 held on 27 March 2015 in Cairns be received and noted.

3.3 Correction to Minutes of Technical Committee Meeting No. 79 held on 27 March 2015 in

MOVED Cr John Schilling SECONDED Cr Bill Shannon That the Flying Minute sent to members on 22 April 2015 be amended to show the transfer of underspent funds on MSC’s Anzac Avenue and Black Mountain Road projects to CRC’s Aumuller Street project as follows:

“MSC 264/LGSR/19 Anzac Ave - final claim $60,751 - underspend $14,249 MSC 264/LGSR/30 Black Mountain Rd - final claim $123,768 - underspend $1,232 Total underspend - $15,491”

CARRIED 4. Business Arising out of Previous RRTG Minutes

4.1 LGAQ Diploma of Local Government (Asset Management) Steven Cosatto advised:

• The course was fully subscribed by members of Councils who put forward names within the timeframe required.

• Despite attempts there was no extra place available for Cook Shire Council.

5. Update from the Roads & Transport Alliance 5.1 2014/15 RTA TIDS Expenditure

Jo Lencz advised:

• There would be a funding increase to TIDS, however by how much and when this would start would not be announced until after the budget is handed down in July.

• There had been reports that TIDS would be managed by the Department of State Development (DSD), however that is incorrect and TIDS management would stay with DTMR, but regular reporting on the TIDS progress would need to be made to DSD.

Scott Britton advised:

• The annual rotation of the RATB chair had occurred – the new Board chair is Greg Hallam.

14


• The last RTAB meeting was held on 1 May 2015. At the time of the Board meeting expenditure claims and accruals of TIDS accounted for 83% of the program.

• Steve Cosatto advised that through the RRTG TC actual expenditure claims were at 76%.

• The external consultant who had been engaged to conduct the guideline review was no longer engaged. Consequently the Roads & Transport Alliance Project Team was now conducting the review in-house.

• State-Wide Capability Development Fund – about $500 is left in the fund for this financial year and so the $600,000 was well used. He encouraged the FNQRRTG to consider and apply for funding early in 2015-16.

• Bridges to Renewal - LGAQ has partnered with IPWEA to put together a training package with a Canberra-based consultant to travel throughout the State and provide training on how best to apply for the B2R and other funding programs. There is a training course in Cairns on 2 June 2015. The communication was made by IPWEA to council engineers. Discussion was held about not sufficient notice being given about this course.

5.2 ATSI Councils in the RTA Jo Lencz advised:

• There had been some confusion over funding arrangements for ATSI Councils participating in the alliance. All correspondence indicated that as the invitation went out in mid to late 2014 the funding allocation would start in the 2015/16 year. Funding for 2015/16 cannot be claimed in 2014/15.

• The FNQRRTG should ensure Aboriginal councils are guided through process, perhaps through either training or mentoring with councils and/or DTMR.

• Funding can be banked over a number of years. Any funding which is spent within an ATSI council boundary does not need to be matched. Should ATSI TIDS be banked into the RRTG bucket and used by another Council it has to be matched.

ATSI TIDS allocations do need to be considered alongside other funding sources that it can be put with. Alan Neilan said:

• WWASC has been an active member of RRTG for a number of years. What has changed is DTMR’s acceptance of what projects can be nominated and this had caused a cash flow issue for council. WWASC has done some design work on the roads it has nominated. It has lost a year of putting up projects in this transition phase.

• Which ATSI TIDS projects had been funded for which ATSI councils 2014/15? Jo Lencz will investigate and report back.

• WWASC would nominate two priority roads for their Council - China Camp Road and the reseal of the bypass road.

ACTION REQUIRED Jo Lencz to provide WWASC with information regarding which ATSI TIDS projects had been funded for which ATSI councils and for what purpose, during 2014-15.

15


6. 2014/15 Works Program - Progress Review

6.1 Automatic transfer of underspent 2014-15 funds to CRC’s Aumuller St project:

• Steven Cosatto said CCRC anticipating an underspend on the Shrock’s Creek project and TRC anticipated an underspend on the Lawyer Creek upgrade, between now and the end of the financial year.

• To save the need for flying minutes for these, the TC recommended the RRTG provides a motion to allow for the automatic transfers of the underspent funds to the next highest ranked project in the program being CRC’s Aumuller Street upgrade.

• Steven Cosatto will liaise with DMTR, CCRC, TRC and CRC to ensure those funds were properly transferred.

• The actions would be dealt with formally at the next FNQRRTG Technical Committee on 9 July 2015 and the next FNQRRTG Board meeting on 10 August 2015.

MOVED Cr John Schilling SECONDED Cr Bill Shannon That any underspent funds on CCRC’s Shrock’s Creek project no. 216/LGSR/31 and TRC’s Lawyer Creek project no. 264/LGSR/9be transferred to CRC’s Aumuller Street project no. 214/LGSR/23.

8. Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan (IQRAP)

Steven Cosatto advised that 24 councils, out of a target of 40 have committed to paying up to $5,000+ GST for the IQRAP consultancy (Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan), they have advised their deadline would be 31 May or very soon after.

9. 2015-16 Capability Agreement & Action Plan Steven Cosatto said a new plan had been prepared for 2015-16.

MOVED Cr Will Attwood SECONDED Cr Julia Leu

That the 2015-16 Capability Agreement and Action Plan be adopted.

CARRIED 10. Joint Purchasing & Resource Sharing

Amanda Hancock advised five member councils (CRC, CCRC, DSC, MSC & TRC) were participating in a 2015-16 Regional Bitumen Reseal program. The Technical Committee has made recommendations and reports would go to Council meetings in June 2015 and the program would start on 1 July 2015.

11. Road Safety Cr Attwood said ESC had been working with DTMR to highlight as a safety issue a 56km section of single lane and a small amount of double lane roadway on the Gulf Developmental Road between Mt Surprise and the Gilbert River Bridge.

12. Business Arising from Previous Minutes

12.1 Guard Rails:

Cr Attwood said:

• Council had been asking that DTMR install guard rails on 11 crossings between Mt Surprise and Georgetown which have unguarded concrete bollard edges.

• ESC could install the guard rails if need be.

• Ratepayers and QPS were demanding safer treatments be applied.

Brett Martin said:

• The crossings are deemed compliant according to the current standards with the exception of signage.

• The cost of lead guard rail installation was $45,000 per site and DTMR required a further $540,000 to complete the works.

• DTMR will look at the whole solution, whether that is guard rail installation. Risk assessments will be done ‘fairly quickly’.

ACTION REQUIRED DTMR to keep the group and ESC updated on this issue.

12.2 110km/h Zones – Gulf Developmental Road

Brett Martin advised:

• DTMR had been unable to review the roads last year as construction projects were in progress. Expected to undertake a full review and provide advice to RRTG by August/September 2015.

ACTION REQUIRED DTMR to keep the group updated on this issue.

13. State Controlled LRRS

Brett Martin said details would not be known until the State budget is released. Most of the works would be reseal works.

ACTION REQUIRED DTMR to keep the group updated on this issue.

14. Asset Management

Steve Cosatto advised:

• The second block of the Asset Management Diploma course has been completed.

• Further information is expected regarding NDRRA betterment being a requirement in asset management plans.

17


15. General Business 15.1 Funding update:

Jo Lencz advised that DTMR was seeking clarity regarding funding updates but nothing could be confirmed until the State Government budget to be released on 14 July 2015.

15.2 DTMR and Local Government Cost Sharing Arrangement:

Darlene Irvine said cost sharing agreement between Local Governments and DTMR is to be reviewed. The current agreement is voluntary. The review starts in June 2015.

15.3 Cape York Infrastructure Plan - Peninsula Developmental Road:

• Cr Scott asked DTMR for an update. • Brett Martin said the matter was currently on hold due to an ongoing legal matter

regarding a Cape York Land Council native title claim. DTMR is going ahead with design but a contractor cannot be appointed as yet. About 48km was completed last year.

• It should be noted that Jackie Trad, Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport, said the Federal Government would provide $48 million in the 2015/2016 year for the Peninsula Developmental Road.

15.4 Bloomfield Track Steering Committee:

Cr Leu said another meeting was scheduled for 5 June 2015. All stakeholders are engaged and appear to be happy.

15.5 Captain Cook Highway Group:

Cr Scott said a group was attempting to make the Captain Cook Highway an iconic road and he agreed this deserved attention, especially considering the 250th anniversary of the landing of Captain Cook would be held in 2020 potentially creating an increase in traffic along this highway.
