As noted
270 Presentation/s
D Irvine provided an overview of the FNQ RRTG Board processes and policies, including an understanding of the TIDS Program, noting the following key points:
• Introduction to FNQ RRTG: The FNQ RRTG has been in existence since 2003 and currently funding for our region is circa $5.9m; The core role of the RRTG Board is to prioritise projects across the region and consider recommendations made by the RRTG Technical Committee; FNQROC acts as the Secretariat and provides L Rankine as the technical officer.
• What is a LRRS: A list of current of LRRS is included in the FNQROC website . All LRRS are required to have a Statement of Intent – that is why it is important, what is its current standard and what is the standard required. Councils can recommend roads for inclusion or exclusion as a LRRS to the FNQ RRTG at any time. We will use the Regional Road Investment Strategy (RRIS) particularly for productivity improvements or first & last miles.
• Allocation of Funding: 4 Year Program (2 Years fixed/2 Years indicative); All funding allocations must meet TMR TIDS policy and be 100% expended (if not spent funding is lost from the region); Prioritisation is based on a tool developed for FNQROC and takes into account industry standard cost benefit analysis, localised multicriteria and risk analysis. This tool is also available to councils to use for their own purposes or funding applications. It is important to note that over the past 3 years we have struggled to fully expend in the last 3 months due to overestimating or under spending which puts undue pressure on the other councils to spend the money at short notice or we lose it altogether from the region.
• Benefits of Collective: Regional advocacy, decision making process in our hands, subsidised capacity building (such as alternative mechanisms to manage our road network, initiate regional procurement role, road risk assessment, road infrastructure data collection, IPWEA training; Use of collective expertise in the region
• Works Program Development & Management Process whilst we have a TIDS policy, locally we have an agreed process for the development and management of the program and this is available via the FNQROC WEBSITE
The Chair asked for questions from the floor: • The Chair asked how does COVID impact an extension of TIDS (also noting the current lack of skills and pending wet season)? D Irvine advised previously another region takes up the funding and FNQ gets it back the following year, but also noted a trend to have our projects run over 2 years so that if there is a delay, projects can be pushed out and pulled in with more flexibility; T Lindenberg advised this is still the case. R Hodgman noted there is the ability within the program to move funds through the Technical Working Group to other high priority projects within the 4 Year Program. Whereas in comparison if we have funding across FNQ RRTG Meeting No. 66 Monday 12th October 2020 Page 2 of 8 002
the entire region, delays can cause problems, however there is still the ability to move between different RRTGs. • The Chair noted that the FNQROC Board advocated this Regional Road Investment Strategy (RRIS) whilst in Brisbane as part of the FNQROC Advocacy Delegation and he and D Irvine has been invited to present at the LGAQ Annual conference next week.

274 Works Program Expenditure Update
L Rankine provided an update on the status of the current Works Program Expenditure noting the current status of individual projects
275 Program Update from TMR
S Ram provided an update from TMR, highlighting the following points: • QTRIP 20/21 has been finalised, but will not be released publicly until post-election • RRTG Program Funding is business as usual and the local district will be engaging with you directly and proceeding with the TIDS program to ensure delivery • The RRTG Chairs will have received a letter Hon Scott Buchholz MP, Assistant Federal Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport re the ROSI workshop, which was to be originally held in September, this will now be held in late November in Townsville. The primary purpose of the workshop is to allow the RRTG Chairs and their representatives to sit down to work out the priority FNQ RRTG Meeting No. 66 Monday 12th October 2020 Page 4 of 8 004
of projects. In FNQ RRTG backyard there are two (2) corridors of primary concern (Cooktown to Weipa leg of PDR and Savannah Way) $62.5m allocated to the Savannah Way corridor and of that ~$20m allocated from early works package and on the Gulf Development Road between Mt Surprise and Croydon; The task for this RRTG, working together with the NW RRTG, is to determine agreed priorities for remaining $40m (approx.) The Chair invited feedback/questions from the floor: • In relation to ROSI funding, D Irvine noted that at the last FNQROC Western Councils Forum is was agreed for D Irvine to develop a paper based on the RRIS and the priorities based on the links for those four (4) councils within 2 months. She will aim to get it completed sooner. The councils will then review the priorities and may be amended based on safety concerns and councils workforce needs. It is hoped to have agreement from those 4 Councils which then in turn, should be supported by the relevant RRTGs. R Hodgman provided an overview of the current program • TMR has a significant investment program on currently and have previously circulated a list of projects. Strong reference to 4 Year Program (noting the updated one is yet to be released), however the projects that have already been spoken to are well on the way and still in place for the next two (2) years. Level of current investment is the largest FNQ has seen. Feedback from industry re capacity from contractors to deliver the works is concerning – need to be mindful when programming projects related to TIDS (in conjunction with other TMR works), that some of the current resources are under pressure due to the large program of works (not just in FNQ, but other districts of the State also) and therefore wanted to raise that level of awareness with the FNQ RRTG Board. • The Chair noted that the skills shortage across the region was also raised at the FNQROC Board meeting held earlier today.
276 Update from the Roads & Transport Alliance
The Chair invited T Lindenberg to provide an update on behalf of the Roads & Transport Alliance: • TIDS Funding for the 19/20 Financial Year was 100% expended, with 243 projects delivered across the State, which is a great achievement, particularly considering potential COVID impacts • As at the end of September 2020, the FNQ region had expended 31%, which is an improvement on last year • Reiterated it is a good strategy to focus on not having to manage expenditure in Q4 and also to focus on how we can deliver with capacity • LGAQ Road Assembly to be held next week in line with LGAQ Conference on the Gold Coast • Noted that Ootann Road and Strathmore Road feature in The Roads and Transport Alliance Annual Progress Report 2019/20 publication and limited copies are available for interested Mayors today • State-wide Capability Fund is available each year and 11 new projects have already been approved for this year. Noted, if councils have a project in mind for this funding to get applications in early (or talk through further with Tanya)
R Chow provided a further update noting: • LGAQ State election request for increased TIDS Funding • Road Assembly capped at 100 attendees, however, will be recorded this year for wider engagement. If FNQ councils are attending think ahead about any question you may wish to raise.
FNQ RRTG Meeting No. 66 Monday 12th October 2020 Page 5 of 8 005
277 Joint Purchasing & Resource Sharing
• Bridge Deck Unit Construction (Joint Purchasing) L Rankine spoke to this item previously raised by Etheridge Shire Council regarding the possibility of a council to provide Bridge Deck Units. This was previously undertaken by Mareeba and Atherton some time ago. The item was tabled for discussion to determine if there was merit in progressing. • Cr Davies advised that (MSC) would be interested in progressing further.
278 Road Safety (if any issues)
• Cr Andrews spoke to road safety concerns in Yarrabah noting two (2) recent fatalities and would appreciate any support from TMR in relation to road safety signage. • R Hodgman advised that road safety is a priority for TMR, especially as seeing a rise in fatalities across the whole region. In particular to Yarrabah, the TMR Road Safety Committee are currently looking at solutions, including road signage and funding sources. • L Yeatman noted that behaviours are compromising safety across the board and a different mindset, working with QPS, is required. R Hodgman advised that the TMR Road Safety Committee meet regularly (including QPS) and suggested that this could be a good forum for that multi-agency approach to road safety education, initiatives and engineering solutions. • Cr Moller questioned if the Gillies Range upgrade was underway? R Hodgman advised that this project has a multi-staged approach (ie 5-6 stages), including speed signs and road widening.
ACTION: YASC to liaise with TMR Road Safety Committee re solutions to road safety behaviour changes.

3. Welcome and Background Darlene thanked and welcomed everyone to the meeting. She gave background with regards to the processes/programs to date and known ones going forward. See FNQROC Discussion paper 29.
The key reason for commencing this discussion is for the FNQ RRTG to provide the Federal government with an investment strategy for the ROSI link (Cairns to NT border, inclusive of Ootann and Richmond-Croydon Rds) by the end of March 2021. (As requested by the Federal Government)
A template for this investment strategy is due to the RRTG Chairs by the end of December 2020.
Darlene briefly went through the discussion paper identifying the failings with a clinical prioritisation review and potentially the items which should form part of an informed view and prioritisation.
4. TMR priorities for the corridor Mitchell gave an overview of the TMR priorities. Their focus had been on the Gulf Developmental Road and a business case had been developed for this road. At this stage they don’t have any such detail for other roads or the corridor as a whole. They are looking at the deficiencies, don’t have costings as yet, using the planning already held and what is applicable for funding.
5. Discussion • Potential to adjust the MCA moving forward • Lifeline routes are a key consideration • Heavy Vehicle routes are a key consideration • Recurrent flooding (road closures) should be a consideration • Recurrent flood damage should be a consideration • The value of tourism and the routes should be considered

Discussion Topic No. 29 – Priority Road Projects for the ROSI corridor – Cairns to the Northern Territory Border
Background As a result of the Northern Australia White Paper there has been a focus on upgrading high priority roads in Northern Australia. These funding programs were focussed on roads identified in Infrastructure Australia’s Northern Australia Audit (2015), along with other roads identified as priorities by the states and territories, such as those connecting communities, or regional towns to ports were considered for funding.
Identified through the Infrastructure Australia: Northern Australia Audit (2015), only state roads were identified. Roads within our region identified included: • Bruce Highway • Cairns to Boulia (Kennedy Developmental Road/Hann Highway) • Cairns to Charters Towers (Gregory, Kennedy Developmental roads, Kennedy Highway) • Cloncurry to Dimbulah (Burke Developmental Road) • Innisfail to Ravenshoe • Lakeland to Weipa (Peninsula Developmental road) • Mareeba to Lakeland (Mulligan Highway) • Normanton to Mount Garnet (Gulf Developmental Road) • El Arish to Mission Beach Road • Halifax to Lucinda Point Road • Ingham to Halifax-Bemerside Road • Tully – Mission Beach Road • Cairns to Mossman
As the audit only assessed State roads, the Federal Government invested in CSIRO to model the most cost effective Beef transport options through the Transport Network Strategic Investment Tool (TraNSIT). This assess State roads and included Local government roads submitted roads to be assessed1. For this region the roads submitted and savings per head identified: • Peninsula Developmental Road - $1.44 • Savannah Way west of Doomadgee (to NT Border) - $1.14 • Hann Highway - $1.30 • Richmond – Croydon Road - $3.24 • Burke Developmental Road (between Mareeba and Normanton) - $0.35 • Burke Developmental Road (between Normanton and Cloncurry - $0.23 • Gulf Developmental Road (Between Mt Garnet and Normanton Road) - $0.01 • Mt Garnet to Hughenden (Hann hwy) - $0.76 • Mareeba Bypass - $0.15

Discussion Topic: 29 #6549960 Page 1 of 18
021 • Ootann Road - $7.83 (highest in the State)
The first tranche of funding came through the Northern Australia Roads Program, shortly after this was the Beef Roads Program. The Beef Roads program focussed on those roads which would reduce the cost per head of transporting Beef.
Through the Northern Australia Roads and Beef Roads program the following roads were identified as Nationally important/strategic. In our region these roads included: • Burke Developmental Road • Ootann Road • Kennedy Highway • Kennedy Developmental Road (inclusive of the Hann Highway) • Richmond- Croydon Road, and • Peninsula Developmental Road (via Cape York Package)
Roads of Strategic Importance is a 3rd iteration, arguably refining the above into distinct corridors. Within our region this includes: • Cooktown to Weipa, and • Cairns to Northern Territory Border (note: on the website it shows this corridor via the Burke Developmental Road however subsequent publications at workshops show the corridor to include both the Burke Developmental Road and Gulf Developmental Road) Whilst not written, the Assistant Minister responsible for this program includes those connector roads such as those LG roads identified within the Beef roads program. For this region it includes: • Ootann Road, and • Richmond Croydon Road.
There are also a number of other funding programs announced in the federal government budget to which these roads/corridors have been allocated funding and or is available for funding.
Federal funding received/allocated to date includes: • Kennedy Developmental Road (Mt Garnet - the Lynd) $2.7 million (NARP) • Kennedy Developmental Road (Hann Hwy) - $50 million (NARP) • Burke Developmental Road (Chillagoe to Almaden) - $6 million (Beef) • Ootann Road - $4.76 million (Beef) • Richmond Croydon Road - $4.16 million (Beef) • Gulf Developmental Road to NT border - $50 million (ROSI)
Discussion Topic: 29 #6549960 Page 2 of 24
022 • Peninsula Developmental Road - $190 million (ROSI) • Peninsula Developmental Road - $223.9 million (CYDP) • Burke Developmental Road (Carp Shire) - $11.2 million (Investment Road and Rail Program) • Kennedy Highway (Mareeba to Atherton) - ~$28.8 million (?) (Targeted Road Safety Works)
There is available funding within existing buckets as well as future buckets of funding.
The process going forward is: a. The Assistant Minister has asked for the regions priorities by the end of March for corridors within our region. b. TMR is to provide a proforma template to gather the data by the end of December 2020 with RRTG’s to provide completed proformas by the end of March 2021.
Given the Cooktown to Weipa (Peninsula Developmental Road) corridor is fully prioritised and allocated this paper focuses on the corridor from Cairns to the Northern Territory Border inclusive of Ootann and Richmond – Croydon Roads.
Each council has undertaken detailed assessments on the priorities as it relates to their local government. Whilst important to that local government to focus limited funding they are focused on the best result for that local government, not the region as a whole. An example of these studies can be found in appendix A.
FNQROC has undertaken the FNQ Regional Roads Investment Strategy. This strategy has assessed the current deficiencies in the network – There is a notable exclusion being the Range Roads and in particular the Kuranda Range Road within the Cairns to Northern Territory Border Corridor. This assessment did not include Burke Shire Council which also forms part of the corridor; projects within this council area have been included within the project prioritisation tool (PPT) used to assess the prioritisation of roads within the FNQROC region.
Spatially, the corridor considered is as follows:
Discussion Topic: 29 #6549960 Page 3 of 24
023
Introduction The estimated total needed for this corridor (inclusive of Ootann and Richmond-Croydon Roads) is $566,457,468 + resolving the capacity, efficiency and safety issues on Kuranda Range Road.
To start the process in looking at the corridor as a whole FNQROC has put all the projects (with the inclusion of Burke Shire) into the prioritisation tool (which uses TMR’s Costs Benefit Analysis practices and Austroads Project Evaluation Guidance – this meets current State and Federal CBA practices).

It should be noted, this priority list does not take into account:
Lifeline routes Where is the product coming from to service the communities; particularly through the wet season. Should this be a priority i.e. seal from this section through.
Historic flood events • unplanned closures and duration • recurrent flood damage
Road ownership – local government versus State government. Arguably, we should be looking at the corridor tenure blind.

Crash History How will we incorporate crash history into our prioritisation?
Crash locations are shown below.
Road ownership Should some priority be given to the local government owned roads?
Lifeline routes Where is the product coming from to service the communities; particularly through the wet season. Should this be a priority i.e. seal from this section through.
Historic flood events • unplanned closures and duration • recurrent flood damage
Principles Can a set of principles be agreed by councils?
As prioritised Do councils just want to run as prioritised?
Just let TMR decide If an agreement cannot be reached, do we just let TMR decide and step away from the debate.

042 Appendix A – Summary examples of studies undertaken by local governments.
Cummings Economics – Carpentaria Shire Council, Overarching strategic development Plan – Road Network Study, Economic Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis, CE Ref: J3233, August 2019 This study focusses on the best economic outcome for Carpentaria Shire Council with the road assessments and cost benefit analysis (CBA) based on only the unsealed portion of the Gulf Developmental Road. Despite the focussed attention only being on the unsealed sections the Benefit Cost Ratio on the Gulf Developmental Road was the highest at 3.16 however as the network study was focussed on the economic benefits to Carpentaria Shire the recommendation focussed on priority funding of the Burketown Road (BCA 1.65) and sealing Doomadgee to the Northern Territory border.
The potential location of expenditure indicated in this study was: Gulf Developmental Road – narrow sections $11m Burketown road $30m Unsealed Doomadgee to NT border $24m
It also identified that sealing form the Northern Territory border to Borrolooa (NT) at $86m would be required before major benefits would accrue from the sealing of the Burketown Road and from Doomadgee to the border.
This study did what it was supposed to do for Carpentaria Shire Council, identify where they would get economic benefits. This study however does not consider the region as a whole or the lifeline (supply) routes needed to support Carpentaria Shire Council communities.
Etheridge and Croydon Shire Councils – Joint Assessment of Priority Works This assessment also focuses on the ROSI funding of $62.5m and believe the funding should be spent on those areas of the gulf developmental road and prioritised projects based on sight distance and shoulders.
Again, this study did what it was supposed to – focussed on the safety areas within the Etheridge and Croydon Shire councils.
ERSCON – Consulting Engineers Have undertaken a detailed analysis of all the pavement and drainage improvements needed within the Carpentaria Shire Council. These projects have been entered into the FNQROC project prioritisation tool used for the Regional Road Investment Strategy
FNQROC Regional Road Investment Strategy This strategy considers all the heavy vehicle networks within the FNQROC region and prioritises them. Currently this study is assessing the LG portion of the Savannah Way (Normanton – Burketown Road).
This study undertook assessments at 100m intervals and for the purposes of a regional advocacy document has rolled these up to 50km advocacy asks. Discussion Topic: 29 #6549960 Page 23 of 24
043
The shortfall in this study for this paper is the boundary ends with Carpentaria Shire Council i.e. Burke Shire council is not included.
Burke Shire Council Projects have been received from Burke Shire Council and these have been included within the prioritisation.
