Yass High School Civil Infrastructure and Safety Improvements ‘Rural Council, Urban Project’ IPWEA NSW Division 2012 Annual Conference YASS HIGH SCHOOL CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ‘RURAL COUNCIL, URBAN PROJECT’ Luka Kovacevic Manager of Engineering Services – Yass Valley Council, NSW, Australia Abstract The Yass Valley is a local government area spanning over 4000sq.km and borders the Australian Capital Territory, Upper Lachlan, Tumut, Gundagai, Harden and Boorowa Shires. Yass, the largest town within the LGA, has a population of around 6000, and continues to play a vital role as a gateway between Sydney, Melbourne and the ACT. The proximity to Canberra has led Yass to be one of the fastest developing regions in New South Wales – offering residents and tourists excellent rural lifestyle attractions and options. Over a number of years concerns were raised with Council in relation to road safety at the Yass High School. These concerns were related to pedestrian safety, conflicts between buses and other road users, lack of on site vehicle parking and suitability of the sporting oval. Council took a lead role in coordinating the school, the NSW Department of Education and Roads and Maritime Services (formally RTA) in an effort to determine a solution to the issues raised. In 2010, Council was able to secure significant funding from NSW Department of Education and RMS to enable the project to be undertaken. Interagency funding was a unique and important aspect of the project which allowed the complex issues associated with the site to be address. It was then my responsibility to coordinate the investigation, survey, design and construction work to provide improved traffic facilities, a new car park area, dedicated pedestrian and cycle facilities and an upgrade to the existing sporting oval. The project was completed in December 2011. This paper provides an overview of the processes followed in delivering a significantly sized ‘urban’ style project for a relatively small ‘rural’ Council. Introduction practicality and usability of the facility all being improved. As a result of significant concerns raised by teachers, students and parents of the Yass The project was a major milestone for Yass High School, Yass Valley Council undertook Valley Council, as a project of this value, and the survey, design and construction of roads, type, is rarely undertaken by a rural council of parking facilities, pedestrian walkways and our size. sporting oval within the grounds of the Yass High School.

Council’s outdoor works crews undertook the third component of the project, being the reconstruction and widening of internal roads, and the construction of new pedestrian, traffic and bus stop facilities. Sporting Oval The existing sporting oval was created many years ago, and was constructed at grade on Oval prior to works the naturally undulating terrain of the high school grounds. Due to this grade, the oval could not be practically used for any sporting events, and as such, was proposed to be regraded to a standard suitable for high school and casual weekend sports. The reconstruction of the oval involved bulk earthworks, with 3 metres (6000 cubic meters) of cut – to – fill required to level the oval to an acceptable grade.

The past year has seen SEROC continue to develop and gain wider recognition by the State Government. In particular, as a conduit for regional consultation on a range of matters including NSW Premier and Cabinet’s Regional Action Plan and the implementation of recommendations to emerge from the Independent Local Government Review Panel. With 17 ROCs representing approximately 145 Councils across NSW, government agencies are increasingly engaging with ROCs for regional consultation and participation on State working groups. It is important that we have collective regional input to ensure that theses reviews provide a positive outcome for our region and local government as a whole. SEROC’s outgoing Executive Officer, Don Cooper, retired at the end of 2013, and was replaced by Dr Helen Swan. Dr Swan has provided SEROC with a strong grounding in integrated regional strategic planning and governance.
