D Irvine advised that the technical documents were now completed and a report is being prepared for the FNQROC. The executive summary is still being finalised.

Action 113.3: D Irvine to provide a copy of the final RRIS technical reports to members of the RRTG TC.

7. 20/21 TIDS Program Progress Update

Project delivery and expenditure as at 29 January 2021 can be found in appendix A of these minutes. The FNQROC region is 76% spent as at 30 December, which is the highest in the state by a wide margin.

Appendix A contains the updated delivery details for 2020/21.

As per normal process, the technical committee recommended prioritised back up projects in case of issues with delivery.

Reallocation backup plan discussed. To maximise TIDS funding, $1m worth of back-up projects are required. Alternate projects were provided for consideration by Cook Shire (Charlotte, Boundary, Garden and Savage), Etheridge (Forsyth-Einsleigh) and Cassowary Coast.

D Irvine clarified the normal process for funding reallocations:

• If a current project’s funding is split over 2 years and next year’s portion can be pulled forward, the project takes priority.

Action 113.4: D Irvine to liaise with Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council on status of TIDS projects for FY20/21. FNQROC RRTG TC Meeting Minutes No.113 | 29 January 2021 Page 5 of 23

8. TIDS 2021/22 – 2024/25 draft 4-year program

Discussion was held around proposed projects for each Council over the next 4 years.

The proposed list was updated and finalised, pending further discussion with Cairns Regional Council regarding the status of nominated projects.

The recommended draft program is in appendix B

RESOLVED:

That the 4-year program in Appendix B of meeting minutes No. 113 (29 January 2021) is recommended to the FNQRRTG for endorsement.

9. ROSI Communication, proforma and discussions

Discussion was held around the Far North Queensland ROSI corridor, which has been defined as extending from Cairns to the Northern Territory Border. RRTGs have been invited by the Federal Government to prepare a list of prioritised projects that will bring the corridor up to minimum standards. The list must be submitted by 31 March 2021 together with an estimate of total funding required.

As the corridor crosses two RRTGs there a need to FNQ RRTG and NW RRTG to work together and agree on the ROSI priorities before submission. G Read represented NW RRTG in the discussion.

While FNQROC’s current list of priority roads is comprehensive, the list is based on the PPT and does not consider issues such as lifeline routes, historic flood events, road ownership or crash history and locations (note: findings from crash data show most casualties occur on sealed roads). The group was therefore asked to consider the PPT priorities against these additional criteria in their discussions.

• G Read: Core focus of NW RRTG is connecting communities. For this reason, the core priority is sealing the remaining unsealed section (approx. 78km) of Normanton-Burketown Road, which is fully contained in Carpentaria Shire.

This is a Council controlled road from Normanton west and is noted as a high priority LRRS road. The project has been formally presented to Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz. NW RRTG are seeking the balance of previously committed $50mil funding from ROSI.

Carpentaria Shire has previously received TIDS funding to assist with sealing, which demonstrates their commitment to the road upgrade.

• D Irvine: For FNQ RRTG Kuranda Range is priority number 1 for the corridor. This is a core lifeline link Cairns to the Cape and Gulf. She also noted that Etheridge Shire Council has previously placed their own funds into upgrading the Gulf Developmental Road. She queried where Carpentaria residents got their supplies from.

• D Jones: Improvements to the Kuranda Range Road is a priority, followed by widening single lane sections of the Gulf Development Road. The general approach to ROSI corridor prioritisation is to fix the spine then work on the side roads that feed into it.

• Detailed discussion took place around the group regarding the raw prioritisation results as a baseline for final recommendations. Richmond-Croydon and Ootan Roads are listed as the highest priorities on

FNQROC RRTG TC Meeting Minutes No.113 | 29 January 2021 Page 6 of 23

000006

this list, however with the requirement of 20% matched funding, Council’s may not be able to successfully fund these projects.

• L Morgan recommended affected councils should drive the corridor. A Trip has been flagged for 1-3 March 2021.

General recommendations to be made to the FNQ RRTG: • Kuranda Range Road upgrade to be noted as the top priority for FNQ RRTG understanding that it should stand alone given the value of a solution. • Normanton-Burketown road sealing to be noted as the top priority for NW RRTG. • In proposing the final list to the Federal Government, the recommended approach is to focus on two lane sealing from east to west then undertake other projects to bring the corridor up to standard. • Current Burke Development Road projects identified through the PPT are to be moved to the bottom of the priority list to place the focus on the Savannah Way. • The Richmond-Croydon and Ootann Roads are to be moved down the priority list as 20% matched funding will be a challenge for the Mareeba Shire and Croydon Shire Councils.

Process following RRTG endorsement:

• Once agreed and approved by the FNQ RRTG, the list of project priorities will then be submitted to TMR Brisbane to assess and prioritise the submissions with recommendations to the Federal government in the second half of 2021.

Action 113.5: D Irvine to coordinate a tour (1 – 3 March 2021) of the corridor from Cairns-Normanton, Normanton-Burke return in partnership with impacted council representatives .

Action 113.6: D Irvine to update the ROSI prioritisation discussion paper reflecting conversations from todays meeting.

10. Update from the LGAQ Roads & Transport Advisory Group An updated communique was distributed with the agenda.

11. Update from the Road Alliance Project Team R Chow is now the LGAQ roads rep for FNQ.

T Lindenberg provided an update via email which was tabled at the meeting by R Chow: • Statewide expenditure, as at end of second quarter, is 37% which is lower than the same time last year • FNQ is 76% spent, which is a great outcome. Thank you to everyone for your work to date to ensure delivery of your projects. • RTAPT will issue the third quarter TIDS expenditure reports from mid-April and then monthly until the EOFY • RRTG ATSI TIDS, a reminder to submit claims and forecasts to the district to ensure program details and delivery is up to date.

• SCDF R. Chow: The State-wide capability development fund is still open. Additional FNQ RRTG applications are encouraged for items such as advanced contracts and procurement training, drone training to aid in bridge and road assessments, asset management training, and funding of university student internships.

• Process for adding roads to the LRRS LRRS roads can be submitted anytime. If a road is identified in the RRIS it will be approved by RRTG, if not, Councils will need to justify its inclusion. Forms for this are available on the FNQROC website.

• Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic I Management (AGTTM) The Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) will be implemented nationally in 2021. LGAQ is working with TMR and IPWEAQ to assist councils with AGTTM compliance for low traffic volume rural and remote roads. A working group of council officers and peak industry reps is assessing a Toowoomba RC generic Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) suite and simplified risk assessment document package focussed on lower volume roads. (FNQ has a representative from Cook Shire on this)

• Strategic Local Government Asset Assessment Project LGAQ advocated for the initial $8 million SLGAAP to support LG road managers in understanding their bridges/culverts and their load capacities. We are now advocating for another $8 million to build a rapid assessment tool and to assess additional bridges.

To support this advocacy, the LGAQ are undertaking a data collection activity on local government bridges and major culverts to help our investment advocacy (e.g. Bridges Renewal Program).

• LGAQ Federal Budget Submission The LGAQ supported ALGA’s request to increase funding for critical road investment programs including: 1. Restore Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs) to one percent of Commonwealth taxation revenue to support direct and indirect local government jobs, in staged increments that reflect Federal government priorities. 2. An additional $300 million per annum over four years through the Local Roads Investment Program 3. Boosting Roads to Recovery funding to $800 million per annum (an additional $300 million/annum) 4. Increasing Black Spot funding to $200 million per year over four years

BUSINESS ARISING OUT OF MINUTES

Minute 280b– S Ram to inform FNQ RRTG of the funding guidelines and regional definitions re: $500 mil Federal Road Safety Funding program once released.

Tranches one is currently active. • S Ram advised consultation with local government will be required regarding ‘rest area’, line marking and signage projects. • P Scott suggested some projects could dovetail with other tourism infrastructure projects.

Minute 289 – YASC to provide a TIDS Works Update to D Irvine

• L Yeatman (YASC) advised after receiving further technical clarity, this is progressing positively. • The new jetty project is a positive opportunity, but other local issues may need to be facilitated in a different way. • YASC will continue to work with R Hodgman (TMR) constructively.

Minute 295 – D Irvine to invite Gerard Read (representing the NQS RRTG) to participate in ROSI investment strategy discussions with the technical committee.

• J Fischer (RRTGTC) confirmed G Read attended the RRTG TC meeting and he was firm on the NWQRRTG priority being the unsealed sections between Normanton and the local government border with Burke.

304 ROSI Prioritisation

• J Fischer (RRTGTC) advised the technical committee spent considerable time reviewing the network. • Primary focus will be on the East-West corridor, with secondary focus to expand the connections roads • It is proposed the RRTGTC conduct a site inspection during the first week of March. • The Chair acknowledged the strong need for TMR and RRTG to keep communication channels open and work closely together to determine ROSI priorities. • It was discussed when RRTGTC are formulating their recommendations, it would be helpful to have a clearer understanding of the State Government roads and TMR priorities. • R Hodgman also provided a general insight into the potential risk associated with RRTG providing project costing estimates for funding applications.
