ITEM 3 TRANSPORT & TRAFFIC BRANCHANNUAL SPONSORSHIP PAYMENTS FOR THE BICYCLE QUEENSLAND BRISBANE TO GOLD COAST RIDE AND THE ROBBIE MCEWEN GRANFONDO RIDE.FILE NO CM787/790/05/15(P1)


Not Applicable.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not Applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

This item seeks Council resolution to approve the annual payment of proposed sponsorships by the City of Gold Coast to assist the administration of organised mass bicycle rides, namely the Bicycle Queensland Brisbane to Gold Coast ride and the Robbie McEwenGranFondo ride. For 2015, these sponsorship amounts are $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.


Not Applicable.

5 DISCUSSION

Historically, the City of Gold Coast has provided annual financial sponsorship to assist the administration of two signature Gold Coast mass riding events. These events occur in September / October of each year.

The Brisbane to Gold Coast ride is organised by Bicycle Queensland (BQ). It is a 100km bicycle ride from SouthBank in Brisbane to the Broadwater Parklands in Southport. This event attracts riders from across Queensland and interstate and is safely marshalled by Police, traffic controllers and volunteers. This is the largest event on the Bicycle Queensland calendar. It raises awareness of cycling and supports positive health benefits. Every year this event introduces hundreds of new riders to cycling and includes a special category for female riders encouraging more women to ride.

With up to 10,000 riders and their supporters visiting Southport, the event injects several hundred thousands of dollars to the economy of the City of Gold Coast. Bicycle Queensland, in organising the event, hire the Broadwater Parklands for the ride finish site, hire local marquees, photographers, crowd control, traffic controllers, food and drink vendors. Many local cafes and restaurants are well patronised. Local public transport services are extremely busy catering for event participants return travel. In all, the City receives a great return for this sponsorship investment.

In terms of the City’s brand recognition, the event receives high profile coverage through various media, television news broadcasts and Everyday Hero websites. Many riders continue to promote the event throughout the year with branded cycle wear, merchandise and ‘finisher’s’ T-shirts.

The GranFondo rides are organised by twelve-time Tour de France stage winner Robbie McEwen. It is a collection of various rides up to 130km from Carrara to the Hinterland and return. This event attracts approximately 2,000 riders, is safely marshalled by traffic controllers and volunteers and is also becoming a popular event on the national cycling calendar. Similar to the Brisbane to Gold Coast ride, this event also injects a healthy investment to the City of Gold Coast.


ITEM 3 (Continued)ANNUAL SPONSORSHIP PAYMENTS FOR THE BICYCLE QUEENSLAND BRISBANE TO GOLD COAST RIDE AND THE ROBBIE MCEWEN GRANFONDO RIDE.FILE NO CM787/790/05/15(P1)

6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND OPERATIONAL PLAN

Corporate Plan – 1.8 Roll out Active and healthy programs. Corporate Plan – 3.6 An Active and healthy community Transport Strategy – Section 6 Boost walking and cycling Transport Strategy – Theme 13 Coordinate active travel planning and funding


While these events do not impact directly on the Commonwealth Games, they indirectly support local volunteers and participants and promote active and healthy sporting activities.


Budget/Funding Considerations

Within the 2015- 2016 financial year budget Active Travel has allocated - $10,000 for the BQ Brisbane to Gold Coast ride. $5,000 for the Robbie McEwen GranFondo.Funding is available under the Active Travel Communities program – Sponsorships – Cost centre 1005270 – WBS 04449.

9 RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is the responsibility of the organisers of the events. Police approval is required.


Nil

11 COUNCIL POLICIES

The Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 seeks to Boost cycling and provide a safe active transport network that helps make cycling an

attractive alternative to the car. Develop a connected and accessible active transport network Coordinate active transport planning and funding Improve safety, standards and personal security Integrate active transport into the broader transport system

Sponsorship of these events is not subject to a current Council policy.

12 DELEGATIONS

Delegation DE01640 allows approval of funding agreements such as sponsorship and contributions to events where the total value does not exceed the sum of $100,000. This authority is limited to situations where Council has provided for the expenditure in its approved budget. While the Active Travel team in the Transport & Traffic Branch has allowed for the sponsorship of both of these events in the operational budget for 2015/16, they were not explicitly identified for Council consideration during the 2015/16 budget deliberations.

Martin Beeson Bicycle Queensland Yes. (Awaiting payment under proposed sponsorship agreement)

David King Organisational Services Yes. (Requires Council resolution to process purchase orders for payments)

Right to Information (RTI) and Information Privacy (IP) Legislation 2009

Not Applicable.


External / community stakeholder Impacts Mass cycling events involve relatively high costs, are non-profitable and support high-

profile charities. Events are unlikely to be a commercial venture without sponsorships and the

assistance of volunteers and marshals. Bicycle Queensland relies on multiple sponsorships to meet financial expenses to

deliver the Brisbane to Gold Coast cycling event. Robbie McEwen P/L relies on multiple sponsorships to meet financial expenses to

deliver the GranFondo cycling event.

Internal (Organisational) Stakeholder Impacts Accounts payable following due approval process. Active Travel has committed to budget allocations and sponsorship agreements.

15 TIMING

The two events are scheduled for 27 September 2015 (GranFondo) and 18 October 2015 (Brisbane to Gold Coast).

16 CONCLUSION

This item seeks Council resolution to approve the annual payment of proposed sponsorships by the City of Gold Coast to assist the administration of organised mass bicycle rides, namely the Bicycle Queensland Brisbane to Gold Coast ride and the Robbie McEwen GranFondo ride. As of 2015 these sponsorship amounts are $10,000 and $5,000 respectively.

The sponsorship of these events by the City supports the establishment of increased importance of cycling in the Gold Coast and helps promote the city as a tourist destination.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not Applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to:

1 Advise Council of the new allocation of Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme funding for City of Gold Coast in 2015-16.

2 Request the reallocation of these additional funds to forward planning projects within the Road Network Improvements program (CI3460C003).

5 DISCUSSION

In July 2015, the Queensland Government announced the $200 million Building our Regionsprogram which includes a $60 million increase to the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme (TIDS) funding over two years. TIDS funding is allocated to Regional Roads and Transport Groups across Queensland for use on roads defined as Local Roads of Regional Significance. The 2015-16 allocation of TIDS for the Southern Regional Roads and Transport Group, of which City of Gold Coast is a part of, will increase to $2,689,811.

The original allocation of TIDS funding to City of Gold Coast for projects in the 2015-16 budget was $440,700. This allocation will increase by $433,488, totalling $874,188 for 2015-16. The City will also receive the same increased amount of TIDS funding in 2016-17. The Queensland Government through the Department of Transport and Main Roads has recommended that to expedite expenditure of these additional funds in 2015-16, they should be applied to the already approved Christine Avenue / Scottsdale Drive intersection upgrade project.

It is proposed to reallocate City funds, freed up by the additional TIDS allocation to Christine Ave / Scottsdale Drive, to 03683 Road Network Improvements - Forward Planning Control. This will enable planning and design of key projects scheduled to be constructed in 2016-17. Planning and design projects proposed to be funded through the additional funding are outlined below:


ITEM 4 (Continued)CAPITAL WORKS BUDGET RESCHEDULE – MINOR REALIGNMENT OF ROAD NETWORK IMPROVEMENTSCM787/790/05/15(P1)

1. Napper Road / Arundel Drive – upgrade of intersection from a roundabout to signals.2. Margaret Avenue / Surf Parade – upgrade of intersection from a roundabout to

signals.3. Napper Road / Captain Cook Drive – upgrade of existing signalised intersection.

The current Forward Planning Control budget for 2015-16 is $245,535. The total proposed budget is $679,023. Transport and Traffic has progressed allocation of the current budget to projects to enable forward planning and design to commence in the first half of 2015-16.

Table 1 details the proposed allocation of the additional $433,488 TIDS funding for 2015-16.

ITEM 5 CITY ASSETS BRANCHGRAND CANAL DREDGINGWF70/16/-(P1)


Not Applicable.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not Applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

To provide further information to Council regarding flood issues relevant to the Grand Canal, Biggera Waters.


Ex Minute No. EWT15.0428.004:

“That this item be deferred until after the planning committee considers the new flood model, with a further report to City Infrastructure and Water Committee to include this information and the consultant’s report to be tabled by Cr Grummitt.”

Ex Minute No. EWT15.0305.009:

“That Engineering Services brings back to Committee a report on the history and future dredging schedule of the Grand Canal opposite Harbour Town.”

5 DISCUSSION

On 5 May 2015, Council resolved that a further report be brought to the City Infrastructure and Water Committee to include new flood model information and the consultant’s report to be tabled by Cr Grummitt (refer ex Minute EWT15.0428.004).

The report considered by Council at the 5 May 2015 meeting contained a brief history of the Grand Canal and a proposed dredging level of service. Pertinent components (extracts) of this report are reproduced below.

5.1 Information from 5 May 2015 Report to EWT Committee

Some upstream land owners are concerned that the depth of water available within the Grand Canal restricts the size of vessels that can navigate the channel, particularly during low tide periods. There is also concern that additional dredging of the Grand Canal is necessary to mitigate flooding.

The dredging of the Grand Canal has been the subject of numerous studies and Council reports. Information from these studies and reports includes:

the Grand Canal was constructed by developers the canal was designed at 76 m wide with a bed level of RL -2.460 m AHD in the late 1990’s, the City de-silted the southern part of the canal (south from the

Harbour Quays Estate entrance) in 2013, flood modelling confirmed that the existing siltation levels in the Grand Canal

creates a flood impact of 1-3 mm additional dredging of the canal is not required for flood mitigation purposes.


ITEM 5 (Continued)GRAND CANAL DREDGINGWF70/16/-(P1)

the cost to dredge the canal to a design profile of -2.46 m AHD bed level across the whole canal width to original design exceeds $2 Million (depending on the spoil disposal method used)

a desktop survey of vessels in 2013 using the upper waterways in Biggera Waters showed that the majority of moored vessels are less than 12 m in length for which a canal depth of below -2.0m AHD and a navigation channel width of 14 m would be acceptable.

Proposed Service Level for Grand Canal Dredging

The proposed level of maintenance dredging of the Grand Canal will maintain a 14 m wide channel below -2.0 m AHD with 1:4 edge slopes located centrally within the canal. The proposed canal profile will be provided between the Harbour Quays Estate entrance north to Limetree Parade (refer Attachment 5.1). The proposed service level will commence late in 2015 and can be delivered within the allocation for dredging within SAP Function ES2550O006. The recommended pattern for dredging involves a dredging campaign once every six years at a cost of $60,000 per campaign.

5.2 Response to Council’s resolution of 5 May 2015 (Minute No.EWT15.0428.004)

Consideration of the new flood model by the Planning Committee is not due for many months as City officers are waiting for the State Government to provide a policy on sea level rise.The existing flood model was reviewed and checked by the Natural Hazards team (Planning and Environment Directorate) with specific regard to the Grand Canal. It was confirmed that afflux upstream in a 1 in 100 year flood due to silting in the Grand Canal is less than 1 mmand any impact would be limited within the canal boundaries.

Cr Grummitt was consulted for the purpose of gathering information relating to the “consultant’s report”, which was actually a confidential letter to Councillor Grummitt. The letter provides advice of the contribution by the developer towards flood mitigation, the developer’s offer to the City of temporarily using the developer’s land for canal desilting purposes and the developer’s concerns regarding potential local property flooding due to silting within the Grand Canal. The letter did not include flood modelling data or results.


City Vision and Gold Coast 2020

Our City Vision “Inspired by lifestyle. Driven by opportunity.” has three themes: Place, Prosperity and People.

The Gold Coast 2020 plan is structured around these themes, and identifies what we need to do between now and 2020 to work towards the City Vision.

1.1 Our city provides a choice of liveable places.

We want to see by 2020 that we can choose diverse lifestyles and housing options from rural to city living including waterfront lifestyles. Key programs of work include dredging for appropriate waterways infrastructure and facilities for residents of waterfront neighbourhoods that will be measured as an ‘appealing environment’.



We manage the city responsibly

In supporting the delivery of Gold Coast 2020, we manage the city responsibly. Our stewardship of the City’s waterways provides value for money for ratepayers. Key programs of work will manage the maintenance, renewal and delivery of dredging programs for the City’s waterways through the Waterways Asset Management Plan and the forward Capital Works program. An appropriate plan for dredging of waterways will achieve short and long-term financial sustainability for the City through prudent financial management and ensuring value for money.


Not applicable.


Adequate funding to undertake the proposed dredging service level for the Grand Canal is included within the allocation for tidal waterways operations within SAP Budget Centre ES2550O006 Tidal Waterways Operations.

9 RISK MANAGEMENT

The City’s Work, Health and Safety Policy Statement must be complied with and dredging maintenance risks will be managed through existing risk mitigation procedures within City Infrastructure.


The Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 obliges local governments to provide maintenance services for canals within their area. The recommended maintenance dredging for the Grand Canal can proceed in 2015 within the existing approvals for City maintenance works.

15 TIMING

Proposed dredging (profile maintenance) for the Grand Canal will be undertaken once every six years with the initial dredging event scheduled for completion by December 2015.

16 CONCLUSION

There is concern that existing siltation levels within the Grand Canal may contribute to local flooding.

Council resolved on 5 May 2015 that a report be presented after the planning committee considers the new flood model, with a further report to City Infrastructure and Water Committee to include this information and the consultant’s “report” to be tabled by CouncillorGrummitt. (refer ex Minute EWT15.0428.004). Analysis of the “report” showed it to be a confidential letter to the Councillor, with no information in regard to flood modelling.

A further review of the City’s flood model confirmed that the siltation levels in the Grand Canal had minimal impact on local flooding (<1 mm). A 6 yearly (approximately once every 6 years) dredging campaign (profile maintenance) will be undertaken within the Grand Canal to the level of service provided in this report. The dredging campaign is scheduled to commence in December 2015.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not Applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to provide advice to Council on the status of the proposed toilet facilities located in the Surfers Paradise nightclub precinct and to respond to the petition received by Council from residents of Top of the Mark 3-15 Orchid Avenue, Surfers Paradise.


Ex Minute Number G15.0818.017:

“That the above petition be received and referred to the appropriate committee for consideration and report to Council.”

5 DISCUSSION

Officers from City Infrastructure Directorate are currently investigating options to provide additional toilet facilities within the road reserve in Orchid Avenue, Surfers Paradise. Additional facilities are required to address the current night time public urination problem in the Surfers Paradise precinct and provide additional toilet facilities for day time visitors.

The project is at conceptual stage and has not progressed to detailed design or construction. The scope of the investigation includes consideration of design options and potential locations for the facility within the Surfers Paradise nightclub precinct. In consideration of sight distance issues, footpath width and the availability of service connections, early analysis identified a number of possible sites including a wide section of footpath between Shooters nightclub and Top of the Mark Apartments, 3-15 Orchid Avenue (refer Attachment 6.1 and Attachment 6.2 Locality Plan). The Body Corporate, Top of the Mark had previously offered the City the use of existing toilet facilities within the building; however this offer was subsequently withdrawn.

A petition was presented to Council at its meeting of 18 August 2015 from the residents of Top of the Mark 3-15 Orchid Avenue, Surfers Paradise (Ex Minute Number G15.0818.017).The collective residents group strongly objected to the siting of the proposed facility outside 3 Orchid Avenue and petitioned Council to consider suitable alternatives.

The investigation has subsequently progressed and the aforementioned location (outside 3 Orchid Avenue) is no longer under consideration. Sites for the amenity block considered most favourable at this stage include:

the existing Tourist Information Kiosk (corner of Orchid Avenue and Cavill Avenue) western side of Orchid Avenue, outside Sin City nightclub north east end of Orchid Avenue (adjacent to Louis Vuitton)


ITEM 6 (Continued)CONSIDERATION OF PETITION FROM TOP OF THE MARK - AMENITIES BLOCK ORCHID AVENUE SURFERS PARADISE RD15027/46/02(P1)

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to brief Council on the findings and recommendations of the ‘Gold Market Drive Reserve Asset Management Plan’.


Ex Council Minute No: G15.0505.022:

“1. That Option 1 be adopted, which is to maintain the current situation (retention of the existing waterbody).

2. That an asset management plan relating to the site, that takes into account all relevant technical advice, be submitted to the Council prior to the adoption of the 2015-16 budget.”

Ex Council Minute No: CIW15.0618.002:

1 “That Council provides a non-recurrent funding allocation in 2015-16 of $15,000 in Budget Centre ES2550O007, Cost Centre 1003254 to undertake a comprehensive management plan for Gold Market Drive Reserve (lot 1 RP221016; Lot 2 RP221016; and Road Reserve that dissects Lots 1 & 2).”

5 DISCUSSION

Background

The Gold Market Drive Reserve contains a 2.74ha constructed waterbody. It is located within the Bundall Equestrian Services Precinct (refer Attachment 7.1).

Since its construction approximately 35 years ago, the waterbody has experienced poor water quality and environmental health. These issues are considered to be a consequence of design, construction methods, maintenance regimes, landscape position and surrounding land uses.

In accordance with CIW15.0618.002, a management plan has been developed by Ecosure Pty Ltd (P/L) to facilitate and guide the water body’s remediation and long-term health. The primary objective of the plan is to improve water quality with ancillary benefits to ecology and landscape.

The management plan (hereafter ‘the plan’):

Identifies environmental issues impacting on the waterbody’s water quality;

Advises how to maintain water quality in the waterbody and meet acceptable standards of ecosystem health;


ITEM 7 (Continued)RECOMMENDATIONS OF GOLD MARKET DRIVE RESERVE ASSET MANAGEMENTPLANPN76904/16(P4)

Determines the most suitable management options, including costs, maintenance requirements and scheduling; and

Provides long-term advice regarding maintenance regimes.

Key recommendations from the plan are outlined in this report, along with an analysis of their implications for the city.

A full copy of the plan is attached (refer Attachment 7.2).

Summary of method and findings

The plan confirmed that the water body is in a degraded state and requires long-term management to remediate environmental issues.

From the consultation and research phase of the project, the consultant (Ecosure Pty Ltd) produced a list of feasible management options. Each of these were assessed using a weighted scoring system that considered the following parameters:

Water quality effectiveness;

Initial costs;

Ongoing costs; and

Risk.

The following treatment methods were evaluated:

Floating reed beds;

Effective microorganism technologies (use of anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms to digest sediment and metabolise nutrients);

Mechanical aeration systems;

Algaecides (chemicals that kill algae thus improving water clarity);

Dredging (removing contaminated sediment);

Phoslock (a proprietary clay product used to strip phosphorous from water and sediment thus hindering plant and algal growth);

Nutrient ‘farming’ (practiced on many of the City’s lakes. This method involves growing and then harvesting aquatic vegetation to strip nutrients from a water body);

Edge Treatment (planting out the margins and landscape modification to reduce contaminant volumes entering the water body);

Piped water exchange system with the Benowa Flood Channel (intended to increase flushing rates in the water body); and



Conversion to a wetland system (extensive modification to increase the site’s capability to cope with high levels of nutrient input).

Fencing Requirements

Further to the above, consideration was given to fencing requirements. The consultant reviewed the Department of Infrastructure and Planning Building Act 1975 and the Queensland Building Codes 2009 to determine that there is no legal requirement to fence the lake.

Asset Management Plan Recommendations

The plan contains a tabulated set of recommendations. These are derived from the combined assessment of various water quality options and decision making parameters (refer Attachment 7.1 for details).

The plan includes the disclaimer that the recommendations are not guaranteed to improve water quality but are the best options available in terms of achieving a long-term, cost effective solution to improve the overall health of the Reserve.

Dredging of in situ sediment was assessed by Ecosure P/L and but is not considered necessary.

6 ALIGNMENT TO CORPORATE PLAN

The Gold Coast 2020 City Vision is “Gold Coast. Inspired by lifestyle. Driven by opportunity.”

Protecting lake environments through integrated maintenance and environmental management of water quality, ecology and amenity will assist in ensuring that the City of Gold Coast remains the best place to live and visit.

Key Focus Area 2 from the City of Gold Coast Corporate Plan 2009-2014 is that our City is loved for its green, gold and blue.

Effective maintenance and restoration of healthy lake systems will ensure that lakes across the city are protected and enhanced in accordance with outcome 2.5 of the Corporate Plan.


The total estimated non-recurrent year 1 capital expenditure for establishment of the proposed aeration system is $33,000.

The establishment of the aeration system can be funded from the 16-17 capital works allocation for Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices (SQIDs).

The total estimated non-recurrent year 1 operational expenditure for establishment of the remediation options (refer Table 1 for breakdown) is $52,200.

The total estimated ongoing annual cost for facilitation of long-term maintenance options is $20,500.

Operational expenses to implement and manage the asset management plan’s recommendations can be funded within the existing 15-16 budget allocations. This will have a minor impact on the city wide level of service for lakes operations.

16 CONCLUSION

Council at its meeting CIW15.0618.002, requested a management plan be developed to facilitate and guide the water body’s remediation and long-term health.

The water body is in a degraded state and requires long-term management to remediate its environmental issues.

Ecosure P/L was consulted and has provided an asset management plan (the plan) that will improve water quality as a primary objective, while also seeking to enhance the ecosystem and landscape values of the water body.

The recommended treatment measures from the plan are:

Installation and permanent operation of a mechanical aeration system within the water body;

Establishment and long-term maintenance of a vegetated buffer between the stables andthe waterbody;

Establishment and seasonal harvesting of aquatic vegetation within the water body; and

Periodic use of effective microorganism technology within the lake to aid in removal of nutrients and other contaminants from the water and sediment.

These measures will result in achieving a long-term cost effective solution to improve the overall health of the reserve.

Based on the current situation and the level of public interest in the water body, it is recommended that the operational works are undertaken this financial year and the aeration system be installed at the first opportunity in the 2016/17 financial year.
