4.5 IPWEAQ Lower Order Asset Design Guide

Noted.

4.6 Guard Rails Cr Attwood showed a series of photographs of bridges and crossings on the Gulf Developmental Road, some of which had guard rails installed and some of which had none. He stressed the importance of guard rails on the approaches to mitigate vehicle wheels clipping the castellated kerbing causing accidents. He asked what the TMR’s policy was on installing guard rails throughout the shire. Tony Potter advised: • TMR has applied for funding to install guard rails and he will follow up the status of that

funding. • He agrees the lack of guard rails approaching a crossing poses a danger and possibly

hand rails on the crossings need to be installed as well. • Installation of guard rails would likely to be considered minor works and would not

necessarily mean they need to be DTMR certified.

Darlene Irvine asked Tony Potter to advise how much funding was needed for the region so that the FNQRRTG could support their lobbying efforts.

David Goodman arrived 1.05pm

ACTION REQUIRED Tony Potter to circulate advice on guard rail installation funding requirements for the Far North region.

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

LIVE-#4625873-v2-FNQRRTG_Minutes_No__46_-_9_February_2015_(Cairns).DOC Page 4 of 6

5.2 Operational Review Greg Hoffman advised planning would be incorporated into the RTA framework.

5.3 ATSI Councils in the RTA

• Darlene Irvine referred to previous advice given by the RAPT that ATSI councils can

‘bank’ TIDS money within the FNQRRTG works program. • Alan Neilan said most of the ATSI TIDS money would likely be spent in design, scoping

and planning. • As this is a new process for the Roads Alliance and ATSI councils we would be working

through and resolving issues as they arose. 6. 2014/15 Works Program Progress Review

6.1 Roads & Transport Alliance TIDS Darlene Irvine advised: • Some projects had been completed but councils still had to submit a claim. • Some councils had already completed works set down for the 2015/16 year.

7. 2015/16 to 2018/19 Work Program Development Cr Attwood and Michael Kitzelmann said:

• He was concerned Etheridge was missing out on allocations to which they believed they were entitled for the 2015/16 financial year.

• He believed Etheridge’s allocation for the 2015/16 financial years should have been $343,300. • He was concerned Etheridge was at a disadvantage when it came to their projects being made

a priority due to low traffic counts. • Managing the cash flow and workforce for multi-annual programs was an issue for the shire and

an annual program was preferred.

Darlene Irvine advised: • We have never had a set allocation per council, all projects were prioritised and funded based

on the prioritization within the region. • The 2015/16 program was predetermined and endorsed last year and Etheridge had not put a

project forward for this program. 2015/16 was the 2nd year of a fixed program. We had to review the program with the addition of approximately $220,000 to allocate. As our policy to allocate based on priority the next priorities were offered the funding.

• Based on the priority scores, had Etheridge provided a project last year it would have been funded in the 2015/16 program. It was acknowledged that Etheridge was a little up in the air as they believed they would go back to the NQ RRTG for the 2015/16 year.

• Regarding the priority ranking of Etheridge projects; traffic councils are only one component relating to the multi criteria used to rank projects. When compared to other like projects they rank quite high. The only projects ranking higher than Etheridge projects were generally bridges. David Goodman (Chair, RRTG TC) advised that when it came to cost benefit Etheridge would always be higher than the other councils as they can get more done with the funding.

• Through the process of allocating funding, it was identified that Etheridge could have had significantly more funding than allocated based on priority – it just came down to councils’ capacity to match the funding.

• She further advised that Etheridge could put any value project on any road up for funding including non LRRS. The projects just need to be put forward through the Prioritisation Tool to allow us to rank it against the region.

• We did need to make a decision today to adopt the four years works program but this did not prevent Etheridge from negotiating with another council/s to push their project/s back to bring one of their 2016/17 projects forward.

4

LIVE-#4625873-v2-FNQRRTG_Minutes_No__46_-_9_February_2015_(Cairns).DOC Page 5 of 6

• She asked Tony Potter if a council could still forward claim a 2016/17 claim in 2015/16 given the new TID’s arrangements. He will investigate.

Jo Lencz and Jenny Damon arrived 1.25pm

Darlene Irvine noted the arrival of Jo Lencz and Jenny Damon and apologized for not contacting them to let them know the meeting started early. She asked Jo Lencz about the possibility of Etheridge Shire Council being able to undertake some of the 2016/17 works in 2015/16 and being able to claim it in the 2015/16 year. Jo Lencz advised this may be possible on a case by case basis and she would let us know if or what we would need to do for this to occur.

Lara Wilde arrived 1.35pm

MOVED Cr Tom Gilmore SECONDED Cr Rosa Lee Long That the FNQRRTG works program as recommended by the Technical Committee for 2015/2016 to 2018/2019 be adopted.

CARRIED

Cr John Schilling arrived at 1.45pm

ACTION REQUIRED Jo Lencz to advise if there is a way for Etheridge Shire Council to undertake $343,300 worth of 2016/17 works in 2015/16 and claim in the 2015/16 year as a special case. If Etheridge Shire Council cannot claim early works, Etheridge to negotiate any possibilities for other councils to push their projects back to the 2016/17 financial year.

• She said both major parties in the State election campaign had promised an increase to TIDS funding.

• She said the FNQRRTG TC was performing extremely well. 8. Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan

Cr Scott advised he had not received an update. Cr Attwood said a RDA Regional Roads Forum would be held in Hughenden on 12 March 2015 would focus on the Hann Highway.

9. FNQROC Joint Reseal Project Ms Hancock advised: • The date of practical completion was 29 April 2015, subject to wet weather. • There was interest in the program going forward in 2015/16.

10. 2014/15 Capability Agreement & Action Plan Steven Cosatto said this matter would be held over to the next meeting.

14. General Business 14.1 Hann Highway

Cr Attwood said Rob Katter’s office was supporting the upgrade of the Hann Highway and

Ms Irvine said the Member for Hinchinbrook Andrew Cripps had written to the FNQRRTG seeking further TIDS funding be allocated to the road to ensure continuity of road conditions and bridge load allowances within the Tablelands Regional Council area. She advised that a letter has been drafted detailing the prioritization process and the endorsed program together with the value of the projects put forward by councils in the region compared to the funding available. .

14.3 Etheridge Shire Economic Development Forum 26-27 February 2015

Michael Kitzelmann advised that with planned activity within the region (IFED, Strathmore and Gilbert River Irrigation Project) there was a need to understand the impact on the region. They will be holding a forum 26-27 February to discuss this and an invitation would be sent to all relevant bodies and they hoped a representative from each would attend.

(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”

4. Minutes of Previous RRTG meeting

4.1 The next FNQRRTG Board meeting scheduled for 13 April 2015 (Ingham) was postponed and as such there are no minutes. The next FNQRRTG Board meeting will be held in Cairns on 1 June 2015.

5. Business Arising out of Previous Technical Committee Minutes 5.1 Road & Rail Interface Agreements

PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED Etheridge is to check and confirm it has a signed Interface Agreement in place. Rohana Samarasekera advised that agreement had been signed and passed through Council.

5.2 Black Spot PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED Brett Martin is to follow up on the outcome of submissions from FNQRRTG Councils. Action to be carried over until next meeting Action to be carried over to next meeting. PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED David Hamilton is to arrange signing of agreements for Black Spot projects with Cairns and Cassowary Coast. David Hamilton to provide orders for payment and close out reports. David Hamilton advised Black Spot 16/17 submissions are now required by the last week of July and submission documentation had been forwarded onto all RTA Councils. 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 9

FNQRRTG TC Minutes No. 80 – 22 May 2015 (Yarrabah) Page 4 of 12

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.

5.4 RRTG Workshop for new members PREVIOUS ACTION REQUIRED Steve Cosatto to organise a RRTG workshop for new members YASC and WWASC to assist with any queries they may have. Workshop occurred on 29 April 2015 and in attendance was Jo Lencz, Daryl Jones, David Hamilton, Janelle Menzies, Shahab Katebi, David Goodman, Jaime Guedes, Darlene Irvine and myself. 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. 10

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.

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.

FNQRRTG TC Minutes No. 80 – 22 May 2015 (Yarrabah) Page 7 of 12

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.

Delete/ amend/ replace as appropriate

Delivery method:

Safety assessment Does the proposed work make any aspect of the road less safe? (e.g. traffic moved closer to hazards, or approach speed to a tight curve increased) No, ¨ - proceed with the project Yes, ¨- do further mitigation work to achieve the appropriate level of safety.

Significant risks identified:

For example: Public consultation, geotechnical, flooding, traffic management, safety, materials + constraints above •

Native Title / Environmental / Cultural Heritage concerns:

For example: waste disposal, contaminated land, flora & fauna, waterways, wetlands, coastal areas. Although the work exists, the environment still needs to be considered, e.g. clearing for side tracks..

Please forward this invitation on to relevant contacts in both your council and other members of your RRTG. Notification to Local Governments re upcoming Transport Infrastructure Contract - Sole Invitation Dear Local Governments, Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) will be replacing the current Roads Performance Contract (RPC) with the Transport Infrastructure Contract – Sole Invitation (TIC-SI). The TIC-SI is expected to be released in the second half of 2015. Please forward this email to everyone in your procurement, design, and capital works units for their information. As you are probably aware, TMR has many different standard contracts for the procurement of roads and bridges. Some of these contracts originated in the late 90s and have evolved over time. It can be very time-consuming to maintain everything and to keep all contracts up to date. In order to improve efficiency, TMR has begun in 2014 conceptual work with our industry partners around improving the overall infrastructure procurement process and contract types. We have sought improvement ideas from the users of our infrastructure contracts including TMR districts, contract administrators, construction contractors and design consultants. We have also decided to extend our infrastructure contracts to a broader level, to incorporate not just roads and bridges but also marine and busway projects, and furthermore to review usage and determine exactly what was really needed. As a result, the Transport Infrastructure Contact (TIC) was initiated and some key changes include: • Common clauses across different contract types captured in a generic base contract conditions; • Revised contract clauses to reflect policy/legislative changes and current industry best practice; • Generic base contract conditions with infrastructure-specific provisions included in a clause bank; • Potential for marine and busway provisions to be added to clause bank increasing versatility of the contract; • Reduced duplication of contract requirements;

38

• Strengthened commitment to relationship principles; • Existing forms simplified to be more user friendly; and • New templates developed to cater for contracts of different needs. The TIC is a suite of contract types and will include the following: • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Construct Only (TIC-CO) • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Sole invitation (TIC-SI) • Transport Infrastructure Contact – Design & Construct (TIC-DC) The first phase of the TIC implementation commenced in April 2015, with the introduction of the TIC-CO which went live on the TMR internet site and Works Management System (WMS). The TIC-CO replaces the current Road Construction Contract (RCC). Positive feedback was received from users and industry. Please refer to the following link for more information on the TIC-CO: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/business-industry/Technical-standards-publications/Transport-Infrastructure-Contract/TIC-Construct-Only.aspx The next step to the TIC is to introduce the TIC-SI (contract type most likely to be used by LGAQ members) to replace the Road Performance Contract (RPC), and the TIC-DC to replace the Design & Construct (D&C) during the second of half of 2015. There is a possibility in future that other contract types such as Minor Works are to be incorporated into the TIC.
