COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011<br />
Other Capital Works Programs<br />
This program <strong>of</strong> projects is supplemented by other programs presented to <strong>Council</strong>:-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Five Year Program for Footpaths<br />
Program for Road Resurfacing<br />
Laneway Upgrading Program<br />
Bicycle Path Plan Program<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> a drainage program resultant from CCTV assessment <strong>of</strong> infrastructure.<br />
POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:<br />
All roads are designed to the Austroads, relevant Australian Standards and Main Roads WA<br />
guidelines. Main Roads WA signs and lines approval is required prior to proceeding to<br />
construction.<br />
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:<br />
The estimated cost <strong>of</strong> the budgeted works in the past has been up to $700,000 per year. This<br />
level is then supplemented by grants. It is proposed that this level <strong>of</strong> funding be continued<br />
when developing this Draft program. Further, it can be reviewed depending on the level <strong>of</strong><br />
grants that <strong>Council</strong> road issues can attract and the matching contributions required. The<br />
program this year has exceeded $700,000 as strategic projects like the <strong>Cambridge</strong> High Street<br />
and drainage improvements for <strong>Cambridge</strong>/Selby Street have been listed for assessment.<br />
STRATEGIC DIRECTION:<br />
The recommendation in this report includes elements that will complement the <strong>Town</strong>'s strategic<br />
direction and goals, namely:-<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Transport choice.<br />
Alignment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> plans with community needs.<br />
Community infrastructure and facilities that are well used and maintained.<br />
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:<br />
This project has been assessed under the community consultation policy.<br />
As this report is for information, consultation has not been undertaken. Any projects which are<br />
included in the Draft Budget will be the subject <strong>of</strong> consultation.<br />
SUMMARY:<br />
<strong>Council</strong> reviews a five year capital works program annually. This review is submitted for<br />
<strong>Council</strong> discussion, generally in November/December each year, and then forwarded to be<br />
considered in the Budget for the following financial year. Further, the projects in the review are<br />
progressed to design to refine the Budget estimates which assist with grant applications and to<br />
enable the works to be carried out in the following financial year.<br />
