11.2 Etheridge Shire council request to transfer of Funds to State Controlled Road:
Discussion carried over from RRTG Board meeting No.50
Councillor Warren Devlin provided background to discussion.
General Discussion
Michael Kitzelmann advised that the costing figures shown in page 9 of agenda
required amendment, see table below.
R2R 2016/17 $1,707,560
TIDS 2016/17 $ 686,600
Etheridge Shire Council Reserves $ 343,000
R2R 2017/18/19 $1,035,014
Total $,3,771,574
TMR advised that on the Georgetown Forsyth Rd there were 56,000 road
movements
Cr Warren Devlin and Michael Kitzelmann left meeting at 1:53
It was queried why project wasn’t on TMR horizon, considering ESC were prepared to
put in $3 million of funding ie where has the joint planning been, appears this issue
has identified a disconnect. Ms Burke advised TMR has 2000klms of unsealed roads.
This road has not been identified as a high priority under Beef Roads or from road
accident or fatality data and therefore was not as high a priority as other TMR roads.
Cr Warren Devlin and Michael Kitzelmann returned to meeting at 1:58

Darlene provided background on RRTG project prioritisation process and referred to
the FNQ RRTG Works Program Development and Management Process.
What is to stop councils submitting State Road projects which may prioritise higher
in areas such as traffic, economic and safety for e.g. Burke Development Road?
TMR advised their projects were prioritised and inputted into a 2 year fixed and two
year indicative program.
Question was raised, what process is in place for other councils to consider projects
pending the result of this discussion? The answer is that in our process we had
allowed time for councils to submit additional projects for the 2017-18 onwards
program based on the decision of the RRTG.
Ms Irvine advised that the motion needs to be clear and detailed as it will set a
precedent for all member councils going forward.
Cr Devlin and Michael Kitzelmann were adamant that this was not setting a
precedent.
After several proposed motions failed to get support Cr Peter Scott proposed the
following motion:
“That the TIDS allocation of $686,600 to Etheridge Shire Council for the Forsyth Einasleigh Rd project be reallocated to the Forsyth Georgetown road on the basis that this project is their priority and ranks high once applying the prioritisation tool, in addition it is noted that Etheridge is applying an additional $3 million towards the project.”
Moved: Cr Trevor Pickering
Seconded: Cr John Kremastos
CARRIED
It was noted that the overarching issue of expending TIDS on a State road has not been
resolved and may need further discussion.

Members advised that as at meeting date there had been no official announcement regarding successful Beef Roads funding applications. ACTION 88.2: Request RRTG Board seek a response from the Minister of the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development on the timing of an announcement regarding successful BEEF roads applications.
8.2 Moderation of draft 2017-2020 program - refer attachment document
Group acknowledged:
That with the finalisation of the transfer of funds to the State Controlled project and the agreement of the Board to utilise TIDS allocation to assist with Beef Roads funding that the 2016/17 program was now fixed.
That in the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 years the transfer of identified savings towards the end of the financial year was a problematic process often having to be done via email, due to time limitations. In an attempt to avoid this situation occurring in the future the group agreed to over allocate funding of between 5-10% and to review process at the EOFY.
It was acknowledged that there were a number of projects within the list that had been there for some time and that existing listed projects should be reviewed and councils forward programs should be reviewed for projects to be considered for future funding.
Councils agreed to review their 2019/2020 programs and provide advice at next TC meeting in October.
ACTION 88.3 : Steve Cosatto to present draft 2017/2018 (fixed) and 2018/2019 (indicative) TIDS programs to the Board for consideration.

Refer below:

Project type and description Indicative 50% cost to RRTG
Contract management systems review – based on the work already undertaken by the North West Queensland RRTG, this initiative will provide interested RRTGs with easy-to-use contract and procurement documentation customised to councils requirements, plus associated training in the use of this documentation. The documentation, at a minimum covers the following procurement types:
Construct Only (major works)
Construct Only (minor works)
Design and Construct
Consultancy Services
Plant Hire (panel of providers)
$15,000
‘First and last mile’ freight study – based on the pilot study in Toowoomba and Western Downs RRTGs, this initiative will provide interested RRTGs with a focused plan that examines the opportunities for heavy vehicle freight on the local road network. In particular local road linkages with the State road network which would provide productivity benefits to the road freight industry and the regional economy.
$60,000
TMR Pre-qualification – as competition for TMR works increases, many councils are considering achieving higher levels of pre-qualification. This provides councils the opportunity to bid for greater packages of work and gives confidence to TMR that councils have the requisite technical, managerial and financial capacity to efficiently deliver road and bridge construction contracts.
$60,000
Regional airport plan – based on the work already undertaken by the Outback RRTG, this initiative will provide interested RRTGs with a stocktake of current airport assets and apply a gap analysis to inform strategic planning and investment decisions in order to meet future service level targets.
$30,000
Strategic planning workshop – under the Roads and Transport Alliance Operational Guidelines 2016, “ a dedicated workshop should be convened with RRTG members at the start of a program development cycle to determine/review the strategic transport objectives for the region.” (p13) This initiative will provide interested RRTGs with a structured and facilitated approach to conducting this workshop.
