7.1 FOOD FOR FINES Author Manager Community Development & Libraries

Purpose

To seek Council support for the continuation of the Food For Fines program for Christmas 2009 at Mackay Regional Council Libraries and allowing food items to be accepted in lieu of overdue fees.

Background/Discussion

Mackay Regional Council Libraries once again would like to hold an overdue fines amnesty for customers in exchange for donations of food items in the lead up to Christmas 2009. In the Food For Fines drive, customers with overdue charges on their Library card may donate non-perishable food items to the value of their fines and have their Library fines waived. The food is then donated to a selected local charity. Food For Fines was started in 1994 by Mackay Libraries and continued until 2001. Food for Fines was reinstated in 2004 and has continued annually since 2005. Food For Fines has proved extremely popular with library customers – and customers have asked if it will be held again. Mackay Regional Council Libraries would like to continue the Food For Fines program in November/December 2009. Over a four week period, customers will be given the option of providing non-perishable food items in lieu of their overdue fees. Every year the library donates the proceeds to a different local charity organisation, St Vincent de Paul in 2004 , the Salvation Army in 2005, Life Line in 2006, Kalyan House in 2007 and Salvation Army in 2008. If Food For Fines is approved, Mackay Regional Council Libraries will approach charities closer to the Christmas period. The Food For Fines initiative encourages customers to return overdue books and clear their accounts while at the same time helping those in need in the community during the Christmas period. It ensures that books are returned from recalcitrant borrowers that may not be returned otherwise. Last year the Food For Fines campaign resulted in over ten trolley loads of food donated to the Salvation Army Mackay at an equivalent value of approximately $5800 waived fines. Mackay Libraries would like to hold Food For Fines from Monday 16 November until Saturday 12 December 2009.

Consultation and Communication

The decision to continue Food For Fines in 2009 was made in consultation with Library staff and customers. Consultation will be undertaken with a charity organisation chosen for this year regarding collection of food items donated at a time closer to Christmas.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8168

Resource Implications

Only overdue fees can be waived for a food donation, as customers are charged a maximum of $10, the maximum amount waived will be $10 per customer. Some space will be required to store the food. Staff must take payments ordinarily so there will be no impact on staff time.

Conclusion

Continuing the Food For Fines programme is another opportunity to profile Mackay Regional Council’s contribution to the community and provides customers with the chance to clear their library accounts while helping others. Council Resolution

Director's Recommendation

THAT Council support continuing Food For Fines in 2009.

AND THAT Council allows Mackay Regional Council Libraries to waive overdue fees in lieu of donations of non-perishable food items to the value of the overdue fee for the Food For Fines period.

7.2 BAKERS CREEK HALL REMEMBRANCE PLAQUE File No 003716-0085-CPCi Author MANAGER PROPERTY SERVICES

Purpose

To consider a request received from Sherri-Lee Spencer for the Bakers Creek Community Hall to be named after her mother Rae Baldwin to commemorate her long term commitment to the Bakers Creek community, which involved being one of the founding members of the Bakers Creek Progress Association and Manager of the Bakers Creek Community Hall from 1982 to 2007.


Rae Baldwin was one of the founding members of the Bakers Creek Progress Association in the late 1970’s early 1980’s and pushed for the Bakers Creek Community Hall to be built. From the time of its opening in 1982, she managed the hall through until her passing in


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8169

2007. During this time, Rae also ran community exercise classes for children, adults and intellectually handicapped children. Rae also worked at the Dundula State School from 1974 to 2007 as a Teachers Aide, Librarian and School Band Co-ordinator, she was responsible for establishing the library and developing the well-known Dundula School Band. The band plays at the Bakers Creek Plane Crash memorial service each year and participates annually in Anzac Day Parades. Rae was also a life member of the Mackay Cycling Club, member of the Hi-Way 1 Country Music Club at Bakers Creek and as a long term resident of Bakers Creek performed the duties of local co-ordinator of the Safety House program for the protection of school children of the area for many years. Rae passed away on 24 November 2007 after a struggle with cancer. She will always be remembered for her kindness, friendship and generosity to all who knew her. The original request to name the Bakers Creek Hall after Rae Baldwin was considered but due to the facility being the community hub of the Bakers Creek area it was deemed more appropriate to name a section of the hall in commemoration of Rae Baldwin to provide future options for residents who have or may in the future show the level of committed service and support that Rae has provided to the Bakers Creek community. The Baldwin family were contacted in regards to the concept of dedicating a section of the hall such as the stage or portion of the gardens to Rae to commemorate her achievements, the family would like Council to consider dedicating the courtyard as it holds special significance for the family and will be easy to access without entering the hall.


The proposal to place a plaque in the Bakers Creek Hall courtyard has been discussed with members of the Baldwin family, Director of Community Services and Cr George Christensen with all parties being in agreeance that the request be approved.


The dedication of the Bakers Creek Hall courtyard to Rae Baldwin will incur costs for the supply of a plaque - $350.00 and provision of morning tea if required at the official ceremony to unveil the plaque - $150.00.

Conclusion

The community spirit of Rae Baldwin deserves to be commemorated through the placement of a plaque to dedicate the Bakers Creek Hall courtyard to her memory.


THAT Council approve the dedication of the Bakers Creek Hall courtyard to Rae Baldwin to commemorate her 25-year involvement with the Bakers Creek Hall and long term commitment to the Bakers Creek community.

7.3 COMMUNITY GRANTS AND SPONSORSHIP - AUGUST 2009 Author Manager Community Development

Purpose

The Community Grants and Sponsorship Committee assessed applications for the first funding round of the Community Grants and Sponsorship Programs for the 2009/10 financial year on 14 September 2009. This report contains details of applications received and the Committee’s recommendations for funding.


This is the first round of applications to be received and considered under the new grant guidelines. Applicants no longer have to decide whether to apply to the Grants or Sponsorship programs; rather they choose which category within the one program best suits their application. Fifty two (52) applications requesting a total of $246,830.56 were received and assessed, with thirty (30) applications being recommended for either full or part funding. Applications were received in most of the new categories from a range of organisations across the region. Members of the Grants and Sponsorship Committee individually assessed applications. At the assessment meeting, members shared further information, which was available, applications were prioritized and funding levels determined. (Please see Attachment A for details of applications.) Cr Perkins declared a conflict of interest in respect to the application from Rotary Club of Mirani for River Rock to Mountain Top Festival and abstained from assessing the application.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8171


General enquires were undertaken to ensure that applicants were not requesting funding for a service/project/event which was already available to the community as a whole. Further research into specific groups and content of applications was undertaken to provide additional information requested by members of the Grants Committee.

7.4 LEASE OF QUARRY RESERVE FOR ORGANIC RECYCLING Author Manager Property Services

Purpose

To approve the creation of a lease over a portion of the Quarry Reserve situated on Lot 31 Eton-Homebush Road, Eton such lease to be offered for tender and subject to approval by DERM and compliance with conditions of the Development Application for the selected use of the lease.


Council is the Trustee over the Quarry Reserve situated on Lot 31 on CP Ci811864 being a 10.5 hectare property situated on the Eton Homebush Road Eton. Quarrying operations on this site have not been conducted for some time due to the site not containing the quality of road base needed for Councils maintenance and construction requirements. A proposal has been received from Whitsunday Organic Recycling Pty Ltd to utilise the site “as a soil conditioner and compost manufacturing facility whereby both liquid and solid organic wastes streams would be transformed into a humified product for its use directly as compost or as an input to manufactured soils”. Inline with Council procedure the lease would be offered for tender.


Consultation on the proposal has been undertaken with Council’s John Caldwell - Principal Planner North, John Hogg – Manager Waste Services, Robert Harvey – Construction Supervisor, Jaco Ackerman – Manager Strategic Planning and Ian Wright – Manager Engineering Services Construction. The issues/requirements raised by these programs in regards to the received proposal are detailed as follows:- 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Development Application to be submitted to allow a comprehensive review of the proposed use of the site. Reinstatement plan for the site to be prepared by the lessee to address business failure or the lease being surrendered or extinguished. The mentioned development would be defined as “Noxious Offensive or Hazardous Industry” based on information provided and would trigger an impact assessable application. The site and approved use would need to be monitored to ensure compliance with lease conditions.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8174

6. 7.

Consultation would need to be undertaken with adjoining property owners if the concept of a lease was approved in regards to dust and odour issues as previous use of the quarry has generated dust complaints from adjoining property owners. Given the proposed commercial use of the land, the lease would need to go through the tender process. Department of Environment and Resource Management to be consulted in regards to a proposed lease and associated conditions of use.

Comments from Tony Lill from the Department of Environment and Resource Management support the proposal being worth further consideration provided, as it appears, that the reserve purpose will not be diminished and that the proposal is over part of the reserve.


The proposed lease would need to be tendered and an appropriate rental fee defined for the lease.Current valuation of area = $25 per m2. (Zoning - Industry High Impact).

Conclusion

The proposal to lease a portion of the quarry would be subject to approval of the use by the Department of Environment and Resource Management prior to the lease being offered for tender. The successful tenderer would than need to comply with Development Application conditions, which would include consultation with neighbouring property owners. Any tenderer would need to lodge a development application following a lease being entered into and Council does not guarantee any alternative uses.


THAT approval be granted for a new lease to be established over a portion of Quarry Reserve on Lot 31 CP Ci811864, such lease to be offered for tender and subject to approval by DERM and compliance with conditions of the Development Application for the selected use of the lease.

7.5 PROPOSED JOINT TELSTRA/OPTUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY ANDERGROVE

File No 711645-002-RP-1 Author Manager Property Services

Purpose

To agree in principle to the surrender of the existing 96 sqm Telstra Corporation lease (B) in Lot 2 on RP711645 and the associated creation of two new leases, one being a 98 sqm lease for Telstra Corporation and the second being a 40 sqm lease for Optus to facilitate a joint usage arrangement of a new telecommunications tower by the service providers.


Council is the freehold owner of Lot 2 on RP711645, being a 22 hectare property at Andergrove situated behind Council’s Bedford Road Depot. Within the property are two leases. The first lease (11 Hectares) is held by Trevor Post for grazing purposes being for a period of 3 years from 13th December 2006 to 12th December 2009 and the second lease (96 sqm) is held by Telstra Corporation for a telecommunication tower facility for 3 x periods of ten (10) years from 1st June 2005 extending through until 31st May 2035. Council received the initial advices from Daly International who represent Optus proposing to acquire a lease for an Optus facility within the Council Depot area at Andergrove in order to install a 30m high monopole and associated equipment shelter for a similar rental as currently paid by Telstra. Daly International submitted the following three proposals:- 1. Extending the existing Telstra Tower by a further 5 metres, due to the tower not being

engineered for the increased height it will need to be secured by guy wires.

This option is not recommended due to lease footprint increasing by approximately 20 metres to accommodate the stabilising guy wires. The increased area would need to be fenced and impact on the planned future development of the site.

2. Construction of a second slim line tower with strap mounted antennas (no headframe)

to accommodate the Optus Equipment (this tower would need to be a minimum of 20m from the existing Telstra tower to avoid any radio interference issues).

This option is not recommended, as the establishment of another tower will impact on the visual amenity of the area and decrease development options.

3. Removal of the existing 25m Telstra tower and replacement with a new 30m tower and

associated creation of a new lease area for Optus.

The final option (3) is the preferred option that will provide a joint tower to meet operational requirements for both Telstra and Optus and create the least impact on proposed plans for developing the site.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8176

This proposal requires several trees to be removed to facilitate the establishment of the new leases, the trees in question are all ‘pink’ zone trees and cannot be removed without DERM approval. Council’s approval in principle to the proposal will allow Daily International to submit a Development Application and address issues such as the trees as part of the application process.


Daly International has held discussions with Telstra throughout the negotiations and has confirmed that Telstra consent to the proposal for the joint use of the new tower (Telstra approval in principle checklist attached for information) Consultation has been undertaken with Robert Jaggar of Engineering Services who has confirmed that once the new Depot is built at Paget the proposal is that the Bedford Road site will be developed for residential purposes. Information pertaining to the zoning of trees on the site has been obtained from Council’s Manager of Parks and Environment with Council’s Planning Officer – North confirming that the applicant will need to apply to DERM if trees are required to removed that are located within pink or other registered endangered ecosystems and that the DA will be subject to such compliance.


Telstra Corporation currently rents this site for $13,891.00 per year with either a 5% or CPI yearly increase (whichever is the greater). The new lease to Optus will attract the same site rental.

Conclusion

The establishment of two new leases for Telstra and Optus and associated co-sharing of a new communications tower by both parties is seen as the preferred option as it will have the least impact on Council’s development potential for the property and provide enhanced communication service delivery to the community. Council’s approval in principle is requested to allow Daly International to submit their Development Application. Council Resolution


THAT Council approve in principle the proposal of Telstra Corporation surrendering their existing lease (96sqm) on Lot 2 on RP711645 and the establishment of two new leases being for Telstra Corporation (Approx 98sqm) and Optus (Approx 40sqm) to facilitate a joint arrangement between both parties to use the proposed new telecommunications tower to be located on the Telstra Corporation lease area. AND THAT final approval is subject to Daly International meeting the conditions of their Development Application with Telstra Corporation to enter into a commercial arrangement with Optus for the operation of the site.

7.7 WATER SUPPLY CONSERVATION POLICY File No MRC Author Acting Manager Business Services

Purpose

The purpose of this report is to implement a standard policy for the conservation of water across the Mackay Regional Council area.


Recent periods of severe drought have highlighted the importance of having a clear, concise and well argued plan for implementing water restrictions. Ideally, the timing and scale of


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8178

the restrictions should be designed to ensure that valuable water resources are managed appropriately. The overall objective of Water Services is to ensure that water resources are managed efficiently and effectively for the long term. As the provision of water services is central to the ongoing economic social and environmental wellbeing of the region, the business’ success in providing sustainable water services over the long term is critical to the region as a whole. Recognising the importance of drought management, the Queensland State Government has amended the Water Act 2000 to include a requirement for all water service providers to prepare and submit a Drought Management Plan (DMP) for registration. The requirement for a DMP is in addition to current provisions of Section 43 of the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy that requires all water service providers to develop an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for Water Conservation. The primary policy document, which supports the development and implementation of Mackay’s Drought Management Strategy, is the former Mackay City Council’s Policy MW17 – Water Supply Conservation. The former Mirani and Sarina Shire areas are covered by water restrictions that are not supported by a policy. The Mackay area policy has not been updated since 2007. The following water restrictions are currently in place across the region: Mackay Level 1 measures apply to the following areas: Mackay, Bakers Creek, McEwens Beach, supply connected to the Seaforth trunk main reticulation network (Farleigh, The Leap, Seaforth, Ball Bay, Halliday Bay, Cape Hillsborough etc.), Walkerston, Midge Point Level 2 measures apply to the following areas: Eton, Calen, Kolijo, Bloomsbury Pioneer Valley There is currently a total ban on fixed sprinklers while handheld hoses are permitted between the hours of 6.00am - 9.00am and 5.00pm - 8.00pm, three days per week for the following towns: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday – Marian, Gargett, Finch Hatton Wednesday, Friday and Sunday – Mirani, Pinnacle Sarina The restrictions on water usage for residents connected to council's reticulated water system are as follows: Unattended watering systems - total ban Hand held hosing - permitted for all purposes during the following times: Wednesday and Friday between the hours of 5.00pm to 7.00pm and Sunday between the hours of 7.00am - 9.00am and 5.00pm - 7.00pm. The current restrictions will remain for the Mackay area and new restrictions will be set in place for the former Sarina and Mirani Shire areas.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8179

A communication plan is being developed to promote the new conservation measures over the traditionally dry periods of September-December. During that time, a three month settling in period will be provided to residents.


The draft policy was distributed to the Water Services Leadership Team, Council’s Management Team and the Water Services Portfolio Councillor for comment. Comments have been reviewed and incorporated.


The recommendation is for a slight relaxation in the former areas of Sarina and Mirani to level 3. This has been assessed as having minimal impact on the system and the introduction and enforcement of set conservation measures is expected to reduce usage.

Conclusion

The adoption of the new Mackay Regional Council Water Supply Conservation Policy will enable a standardised water conservation approach to be used throughout the region. It is recommended that Level 1 and 2 restrictions remain in force throughout the former Mackay City area and level 3 restrictions be introduced to the former Sarina and Mirani Shire areas (which is a slight relaxation on current restrictions). Council Resolution


THAT Council adopt new Mackay Regional Council Water Supply Conservation Policy. AND THAT the following Water Conservation Measures be applied:

Level 1 measures to the following areas: Mackay city region, Bakers Creek, McEwens Beach, supply connected to the Seaforth Transfer main reticulation network (Farleigh, The Leap, Seaforth, Ball Bay, Halliday Bay, Cape Hillsborough etc.), Walkerston, Midge Point / Laguna Whitsunday Resort including supply connected to the Midge point Transfer Main Level 2 measures to the following areas: Eton, Calen, Kolijo, Bloomsbury. Level 3 measures to the following areas: Sarina, Louisa Creek, Hay Point, Koumala, Armstrong Beach, Freshwater Pt, Sarina Beach, Campwin Beach, Grasstree Beach, Salonika Beach, Half Tide, Mirani, Gargett, Marian, Finch Hatton and Pinnacle.

7.8 SARINA SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT PLANNING REPORT File No MRC Author Manager Planning & Sustainability Purpose To provide Council with a strategy and preliminary costing for the upgrading of Sarina’s sewage treatment facility.


The existing Sarina sewage treatment plant cannot treat sewage to a quality able to meet the licensing requirements of the Department of Environment & Resource Management (DERM). Other issues regarding the existing plant are:

• The plant proximity to urban development, • The environmental sensitivity of Plane Creek means that effluent discharged even

during wet weather must contain low nutrient concentrations and the existing plant is not capable of achieving the required concentration reductions,

• Currently a significant portion of effluent is released to Plane Creek particularly during wet weather; and

• The plant is required to deal with high wet weather sewage loads.

In addition, Council has provided the DERM with a commitment through a Transitional Environmental Program to overcome these deficiencies by year 2013. To progress this project it has been necessary to proceed with the initial planning and preparation of this report prior to the Development Services Department completing its proposed ‘Enquiry by Design’ workshop aimed at assessing the most suitable strategy for expansion of the town. The results of this work will need to be considered in relation to the siting of a new plant notwithstanding the findings presented in this current report. Development Services have advised that the Enquiry by Design Process will not occur for Sarina until November 2009 at earliest.

The planning report has been finalised and is attached for reference. The planning report details the actions needing to be addressed to meet this commitment to overcoming the current treatment problems by year 2013.

Discussion

It is anticipated that Sarina’s equivalent person population, which is currently approximately 4,000 will double by the year 2031. The existing Sarina sewage collection flows during wet weather exceed the acceptable limit, which is five times the average dry weather flow. Wet weather flows of 10 times the dry weather flow are being experienced in Sarina as a result from excessive inflow and infiltration. Proposals are now being formulated to address this problem with the collection system. However as it is unlikely that the problem will be significantly reduced in the short to mid term, therefore it is proposed that the treatment plant be designed to deal with an equivalent person population of 8,000 and a peak wet weather flow of 7 times the average dry weather flow of 230L/EP/d.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8199

The proposed treatment plant will continue to supply recycled water to the golf course. However, it is intended to increase the area of cane land irrigated. The actual area and location of cane land to be irrigated will have a bearing on the location to be adopted for the treatment plant and on the quality of the effluent from the plant.

To date four sites have been considered with costs generally increasing the further the site is from township. Currently a site to the east of town on the southern side of Plane Creek near to the railway facility is preferred. However, this is subject to further discussion and investigation with Development Services, and consideration of a future need to sewer Grasstree, Campwin, and possibly Armstrong Beaches, growers willing to accept treated effluent and geotechnical investigations.

In terms of treatment and reuse, two options have been considered. These are:

Option A Treat the sewage influent to a quality consistent with maximising the beneficial use of effluent (ie by utilising between 80% and 85% of the effluent as a beneficial use for irrigation) and releasing between 20% and 15% of the effluent directly to a watercourse; and

Option B Treat the sewage influent to a quality consistent with maximising the beneficial use of effluent (ie by utilising between 90% and 95% of the effluent as an irrigation source) and releasing between 10% and 5% of the effluent directly to a watercourse.

In each case, the treatment process will be designed to ensure the volume of effluent released to the estuary of Plane Creek will be within mass loading limits consistent with maintaining the environmental values of the water quality of the creek.

In terms of siting the proposed treatment facility, four different site locations have been assessed. These are:

Site Option 1 - Upgrade existing STP at Brewers Road Sarina;

Site Option 2 - New STP north east of golf course;

Site Option 3 - New STP off Brooks Road; and

Site Option 4 - New STP on Queensland Rail land.

Table A summarises the stage 1 capital costs of Options A1 to A4 and B1 to B4 including the provisional capital costs of cane land irrigation schemes consistent with treatment Options A and B. It is to be noted that until such time as a site has been confirmed and preliminary design completed the accuracy of the total costs given in Table A is considered to be ± 25%.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8200

Table A: Sewage Treatment and Cane Land Irrigation Schemes – Capital Cost Stage 1

Site Options Treatment Options 1 2 3 4

A $27,300,000 $25,400,000 $26,500,000 $27,900,000

B $26,800,000 $24,800,000 $26,200,000 $27,800,000

Preferred Scheme Based on a net present value and environmental assessment of treatment options A and B and site options 1 to 4 it is considered that Sarina’s future sewage treatment facilities should be further examined on the basis of Option B2 although this assessment needs to be re-examined once a site for the plant has been confirmed.


No external consultation or communications have been undertaken.

The Development Services Department were consulted in the assessment of equivalent person population projections presented in this report. The assessment was based on the most recent development patterns as proposed in the Priority Infrastructure Plan. However, there is a need for further discussions with Development Services concerning the location of future urban expansion.

The Manager of the Finance Department was consulted in relation to the proposed implications on the 10-year capital plan.


Capital expenditure requirements are outlined in the preliminary 10-year Capital Plan for Water Services. Budget allocation has been provided as part of the 09/10 operational and capital budget to progress the implementation of the strategy.

Conclusion

• Prior to site detailed investigations being undertaken it will be necessary for the Development Services Department to complete their program concerning the future expansion of the urban area of Sarina and for consideration to be given to the possible future sewering of the beach communities immediately east of Sarina;

• Provisionally Option B2 is the preferred treatment plant site; and • To obtain a suitable site, plan, design and construct the proposed treatment plant and

irrigation scheme by the year 2013 it will be necessary for a suitable site for the plant and for the extent of the irrigation scheme to be identified and confirmed with all stakeholders at the earliest possible date.

7.9 LAND TENURE - TRUSTEESHIP- LOT 1 ON SP202253 File No Lot 1 SP202253 Author Manager Technical Services

Purpose

To seek Council's approval to the proposal for Council to accept trusteeship of Lot 1 on SP202253 within the 'Environment Reserve', which is currently Unallocated State Land.


Council is currently finalising the detailed design and associated permits to link the Bluewater trail between Canelands Park and the Cathy Freeman trail at Ron Camm Bridge. In preparation of the development application associated with the path and boardwalk extension through the Environmental Park, Council was required to seek approval for a


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8202

'resource allocation' to traverse a section of Unallocated State Land (Lot 1 on SP202253) from the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM). Recent correspondence from DERM has indicated that subject to Council agreeing to act as trustee of this Lot the issue of a Resource Entitlement would be reviewed, as currently such approval would not be granted under the existing land tenure arrangements. While this matter was considered in the past and at that time such action was considered premature pending the long term future of the sand extraction and motor cross activities, it is suggested that time delays in processing of the development application for the boardwalk will create more difficulties due to delaying construction activities and as such put in jeopardy the expenditure of the Federal Government grant for this section of the Bluewater trial. There are currently no real implications to Council associated with accepting trusteeship. Arrangements will be made to undertake a current condition audit of the area and at some time in the future an overall management plan will be prepared. It should also be noted that Council is in fact trustee of the remainder of the 'Environment Reserve' and adding this final section will bring the entire section under Council's control.


Director Engineering Services.


Nil at this time.

Conclusion

As part of the approval process for development application associated with the Environmental Park boardwalk, Council has been advised that DERM will not currently agree to resource entitlement to traverse Lot 1 on SP202253. This issue would be reviewed if Council would agree to undertake the trusteeship of this allotment. Given other ramifications it is considered prudent for council to accept the trusteeship of Lot 1 on SP202253 and as such bring the entire Environment Reserve under the trusteeship of Council. ouncil Resolution

Purpose

To present to Council for approval of tenders submitted for the MRC 2010-007 Stockroute Road to Monash Way Drainage works.


This work is scheduled as part of the ongoing drainage work in the Bakers Creek One Catchment Area. It completes the drain between Stockroute Road and Schmitkes Road and upgrades the drain between Schmitkes Road and the Monash Palms subdivision. Tenders were invited on the 8 August 2009, via Council's website and advertised locally in the Daily Mercury, requesting submissions from companies suitably experienced and resourced for drainage works. The following submissions were received by 2.30pm 1 September 2009. • Beach Building and Civil Group Pty Ltd • BMD Constructions Pty Ltd • Camco Contractors Pty Ltd • Cortis Civil and Demolition • Epoca Constructions • Haber Xcavations • McCosker Contracting Pty Ltd • Ogilvie Constructions Non-Conforming • Haber Xcavations • McCosker Contracting Pty Ltd The Evaluation Panel conducted an initial compliance check on 7 September 2009 to indentify submissions that were non-conforming with the immediate requirements of the Request For Tender. This included compliance with contractual requirements and provision of requested information. All submissions were progressed through to the qualitative criteria assessment on the basis that the terms, conditions and mandatory requirements of the request for tender had been met. Non-conforming and conforming tenders were received from McCosker Contracting Pty Ltd and Haber Xcavations but were included in the evaluation under the provisions of the conditions of tender. During the evaluation the tenderers were assessed against the nominated qualitative criteria. The weighting attributed to each qualitative criteria was:


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8207

• Relevant experience in performing works of similar nature 20% • Key personnel skills and experience 30% • Tenderers' resources available to complete the works 30% • Demonstrated understanding or methodology proposed 20% The tendered Lump Sum Fixed Prices area listed below. Beach Building and Civil Group Pty Ltd $430,499.25 BMD Constructions Pty Ltd $391,391.40 Camco Contractors Pty Ltd $363,907.09 Cortis Civil and Demolition $457,792.95 Epoca Constructions $430,911.79 Haber Xcavations $575,897.50 McCosker Contracting Pty Ltd $427,817.00 Ogilvie Constructions $322,271.55 Non-Conforming Haber Xcavations N/A Schedule of rates McCosker Contracting Pty Ltd $375,244.00 At the end of the assessment process, the assessment team ranked Ogilvie Constructions as the preferred tenderer followed by Camco Contractors Pty Ltd. It should be noted that Ogilvie Constructions are able to commence work as soon as the contract is awarded and the associated documentation completed.


The evaluation of the tender was conducted by: • Manager Procurement and Plant • Contracts Coordinator - Civil - Engineering Services • Contracts Coordinator - Engineering Services.


The 2009/10 Capital Works program includes an allowance of $1,589,712.65 to complete the works. The cost to complete the work is summarised as follows:- Cost to Date $ 49,939.72 Council Commitments and Costs to Completion $ 162,501.38 (Inc Supervision) This Contract $ 322,271.55 Contingency $ 15,000.00 Remaining Land Purchase $1,540,000.00


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8208

TOTAL $2,089,712.65 This leaves a funding shortfall of $500,000.00. This is in line with the estimates presented in the 5 August Report to Council by Executive Manager Administrative Services regarding the associated land resumption. That report anticipated a shortfall of $501,288.00. It is proposed to fund this shortfall from within the existing Capital Works program deferring $650,000 of Trunk Drainage Expenditure allocated for the land purchase associated with the western connector project (i.e. extension of Harveys Road to Holts Road, Andergrove).

Conclusion

Awarding the contract to Ogilvie Constructions represents the most advantageous outcome to Mackay Regional Council based on the ability to perform the works requested and demonstrated value for money to Mackay Regional Council. Council Resolution


THAT: 1. The fixed price tender submitted by Ogilvie Constructions of $322,271.55

(excluding GST) be accepted for the provision of MRC 2010-007 Stockroute Road to Monash Way Drainage Works.

2. The shortfall in funding for MRC 2010-007 Stockroute Road to Monash Way Drainage Works be accommodated by deferring the allocation of $650,000 within the 2009/10 budget for the western connector land purchase project.

MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8209

Purpose

To present to Council for approval of tenders submitted for the MRC 2010-016 Rae Street Drain Rehabilitation - Stage Two.


Extensive damage of the Rae Street drain was experienced as a result of the flooding in 2008 and 2009. Grant funding was sought and approved by the State Government for reinstatement works resulting from the 2008 event. Tenderers were invited on the 21 February 2009, via Council's website and advertised locally in the Daily Mercury, requesting submissions from companies suitably experienced and resourced for drainage works for two separate stages. The following submissions were received by 2.30pm 17 March 2009 for both stages:- Tenderer Stage One Stage Two Total Works Vassallo Constructions Pty Ltd $1,462,492.73 $794,923.09 $2,257,415.82 Cortis Civil & Demolition $1,308,874.48 $796,056.75 $2,104,931.23 Epoca Constructions $1,217,772.26 $639,161.30 $1,856,933.56 Stage One - Section from Shakespeare Street to Hague Street. Stage Two - Section from Bothwick Street to Goldsmith Street. On the 13 May 2009 Council awarded stage one of the works for $1,217,772.26 to Epoca Constructions due to insufficient funding being available for both stages of works. Funding has now been released to complete all tendered works as a result of grant applications to the State Government associated with the 2009 event. The current contract for stage one of the works is currently being finalised by the recommended contractor, Epoca Constructions. Their tendered price for Stage Two of $639,161.30 was also the cheapest of the offers received for the works and as a result of the contractor remaining onsite a deduction of $35,000 has been negotiated, with the final tendered price for stage two being $604,161.30.


The evaluation of the tenders was conducted by: • Manager Procurement and Plant • Construction Contracts Engineer • Consulting Engineer


The project will be managed by a combination of existing resources and contracted management and supervision support. The project is funded from the Natural Disaster Relief Assistance with a contribution for the upgrading sourced from within existing budget allocations for 2008/09.

10.3 STANDING OFFER ARRANGEMENT – HIRE OF TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICES

File No MRC 2010-004 Author Manager Procurement and Plant

Purpose

To present to Council for approval tenders received for the Hire of Traffic Control Services in order to compliment Councils Standing Offer Arrangements.


The current Standing Offer Arrangement expires on 31 October 2009. The proposed commencement date for this contract is 1 November 2009, for a 2 year period, with a clause for variation of price on the anniversary of the contract. Tenders were invited on 1 August 2009 with submissions received by 2.30pm on Tuesday 25 August 2009 from Statewide Traffic Control, Linemark Traffic Control, East Coast Traffic Control Pty Ltd, Traffic Control Mackay & Districts, Downer EDI Works, Traffic Technologies Traffic Management, and Evolution Traffic Control Pty Ltd.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8211

There were 15 items called as part of this Standing Offer Arrangement with all Tenderers offering prices on all items. Offers from Statewide Traffic Control, Traffic Technologies Traffic Management and Evolution Traffic Control were considered non-conforming tenders as they did not offer fixed pricing and stipulated additional conditions which do not comply with contractual requirements and provision of requested information, such as penalty rates after eight (8) hours continuous work which would have a significant impact on overall cost. The offer from Downer EDI Works was not considered as they do not have a permanent local depot established and their vehicle and penalty rates are high. The evaluation panel assessed the remaining conforming tenders from Linemark Traffic Control, East Coast Traffic Control and Traffic Control Mackay & District to ascertain resource capacity and pricing. East Coast Traffic Control are more expensive on majority of items than Linemark Traffic Control and Traffic Control Mackay & District. Linemark Traffic Control was the overall cheapest offer on 5 items for the Mackay Area with sufficient resources being a large area to cover. Traffic Control Mackay & District were overall cheapest on 15 items for the Mirani and Sarina Areas with sufficient resources for both areas. Both Linemark Traffic Control and Traffic Control Mackay & District have existing locally based Depot’s ensuring timely response to requests for services. The Panel issued an Information Request to both Linemark Traffic Control and Traffic Control Mackay & District to ensure their pricing was all inclusive, that they comply with the current Traffic Management for Construction or Maintenance Works Code of Practice 2008, and for confirmation of their overall resource capacity of vehicles and staffing. The response from both Linemark Traffic Control and Traffic Control Mackay & District was favourable with the Panel satisfied in recommending Linemark Traffic Control for 5 items (Mackay Area) and Traffic Control Mackay & District for 10 items (Mirani and Sarina Areas).


Evaluation of the tenders was undertaken by Maintenance Engineer Bruce Wegner, Construction Engineer Bill Moffat and Contracts Officer from Procurement and Plant.


The total value of this Contract MRC 2010-004, if awarded as recommended is approximately $979,800.00 excluding GST for the 2 year period based on the estimated annual usage. It should be noted that as part of its 2009/10 budget Council allocated additional resources to enable the employment of staff to meet Council's obligations to traffic control associated with its maintenance activities. This contract will be used to compliment these additional resources if and when required across Council's maintenance and capital programs.


MIN/23.09.2009 FOLIO 8212

Conclusion

It is recommended that this Standing Offer Arrangement MRC 2010-004 Hire of Traffic Control Services for a 2 year period with provision of an annual price variation, be awarded as follows: Linemark Traffic Control 5 items (Mackay Area) Traffic Control Mackay & District 10 items (Mirani and Sarina Areas) Council Resolution
