Memorandum: Joint Meeting

Capital Works Program 2018-19 and 10 Year Plan

The purpose of this memorandum is to seek the Council’s endorsement of the 2018-19 Capital Works Program and 10 Year Plan.

Background

At its closed meeting held on 2 October 2017, the Council resolved inter alia:

The Council endorse the additional allocation of $1.6 million for the 2018/19financial year for the Tasman Highway Shared Bridge to allow this project to commence immediately.

The Council endorse the additional allocation of $3 million for the 2018/19 financial year for the Brooker Avenue Bridge to allow this project to commence immediately.

The funding for the two projects, up to $4.6 million, be achieved with savings from the 10 year Capital Works Program to be determined this year.

Following the Council decision, the Executive Leadership Team undertook a comprehensive review of the Council-endorsed 10 year Capital Works Program.

This review has resulted in some redrafting of the Program with some projects being re-phased, some being removed from the program and others being included in future years beyond the current 10 year horizon of the program.

The attached tables provide a summary of:

· New/expanded projects to be added to the Capital Works Program (attachment A)

· Projects removed from the Capital Works Program (attachment B)

· Projects not on the 10 year horizon of the Capital Works Program but can be included in future years (attachment C)

· 10 year Capital Works Program (attachment D).

Subsequent to this review, an Aldermanic workshop was held on 22 January 2018 and the following new additions have been made to the program:

· Implementation of the Street Tree Strategy - $50,000 per annum;

· Smart Cities Infrastructure (plant and equipment) - $500,000 added in year one.

The Council are advised that the review of the Program has been done in the context of the Long Term Financial Management Plan (LTFMP), assuming;

· a rate increase of 3% into the foreseeable future;

· no new borrowings (ie. no additional borrowings than already contemplated in the approved LTFMP); and

· the loss of the TasWater dividend from 2025/26 (although this may no longer be the case given the defeat of the Water and Sewerage Tasmania Bill in the Legislative Council).

The review has also had marginal impact on the Council’s asset renewal program over the 10 year life of the Program.

REcommendation

That:

1. The Council approve the revised 2018/2019 Capital Works Program.

2. The Council, approve in principle for planning purposes, projects in years two and three.

3. The Council note the projects listed in years four to ten.

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.
