3. Presentations

   Jennifer Damon, DTMR Planning Manager (North QLD) provided an update on the North Queensland Regional
   Freight Plan

       •   Deliverable of the Queensland freight strategy. Project started mid-2021, now engaging with
           stakeholders to understand issues on the ground.
       •   Aiming to understand region-scale freight picture as well as sub-areas. What can the agency do to
           improve the way the freight system works? Expectations for efficiency, productivity, resilience,
           environmental outcomes (carbon zero)?
       •   An overview was provided of the planning process:
               1. canvassing issues and what’s on the horizon to unlock growth;
               2. deep dive to understand the issues;
               3. mapping what the future state of the network looks like;
               4. strategies to get from current to future state.
       •   Multimodal, not just looking at roads and infrastructure. Whole supply chain including rail, airports,
           seaports etc. First and last mile links of particular interest.
       •   Once priorities are identified, next stage will be business plans. Aiming to build a pipeline of works –
           shared evidence base for stakeholders to progress the freight network.
       •   Project to run until mid-2022. TMR will seek final consultation on draft before moving to finalise.

   Discussion

       •   How has the survey been promoted? Emailed to known stakeholders. Meetings sought with relevant
           groups such as the RRTGs. Different organisations promoting to their members.
       •   Existing plans can be fed into the project to inform priorities for FNQ.
       •   Recommendation to tap into planning areas of councils. What’s on the cards for them? Eg safety
           conflicts within the town, what’s important to the community that can be captured.
       •   FNQ data layers and copies of the RRIS have been received by the Department.

5. DRAFT Minutes of FNQ RRTG Board Meeting

   Potential allocation of TIDS funding to TMR LRRS

   As noted in the RRTG Board minutes dated 2 December 2021, at the Board meeting in February consideration is
   to be given to allocating TIDS funding to state controlled LRRS roads. To inform the Board’s decision, the
   historical allocation of TIDS to state-controlled roads was discussed.

       •   Reminder that TIDS funding on state roads does not need to be matched.
       •   TMR LRRS projects tend to rank highly in prioritisation.
       •   TIDS is intended for the LRRS network however funds are essentially lost to the region as TMR projects
           could be covered through other funding sources.
       •   When TIDS is matched by local councils, investment in the region is effectively doubled.
       •   TIDS principles are around maintaining and improving local networks.
       •   View is that TIDS should remain on the locally-controlled LRRS network, not go to state roads.
       •   T Lindenberg – reminded that LRRS network informs where the RRTG should invest its TIDS funding
           based on regional priorities. Up to 20% can be spent on non-LRRS (matched) OR on state roads
           (unmatched), whatever is considered a regional priority regardless of ownership. If state road needs
           work and is a priority, TIDS is an avenue to invest.
       •   Resolution: preferred option is to nominate local roads only for TIDS prioritisation.

   Action 118.1: W Hughes to progress the recommendation to the Board that TIDS be retained for investment in
   local government controlled LRRS roads.

6. DRAFT Minutes of the RRTG TC Sub-Committee - Regional Aerodrome Audits Project

   Minutes distributed with the agenda were noted.

7. LRRS Network Review

   Discussion took place regarding Fairview-Palmerville Road (Cook Shire) / Mount Mulgrave Road (Mareeba Shire)
   as a proposed new LRRS.

       •   Fairview-Palmerville Road starts from the Peninsula Development Road (PDR) just north of Laura and
           continues to the Cook Shire / Mareeba Shire boundary.
       •   Cook Shire: Connected to Burke Development Road (BDR) and is the main access for mining and cattle
           stations. Investor setting up a township for copper and gold mines (estimate 600 people). Popular tourist
           road, shortcut access to Chillagoe and Charters Towers. Anticipate an additional 10 heavy vehicles per
           day, they currently go through PDR to Lakeland then down to BDR.
       •   Mareeba Shire: Council will not be promoting Mount Mulgrave as a LRRS. Anticipate greater volumes of
           heavy traffic which will impact ongoing maintenance requirements. Joins up to Ootan Road which also
           has issues with ongoing maintenance costs, plus increasing traffic volumes will impact creek crossings. A
           number of roads within the Shire already link to the BDR to service cattle stations and they’re not LRRS.
           No appetite to nominate this portion of road as sealing would not improve year-round access due to
           flooding issues over the wet season.
       •   Rough estimate to upgrade the whole road not yet known. For Palmer River crossing, a previous
           (unsuccessful) betterment application was for $1.5M.
       •   Resolution: without the cross-boundary connection into Mareeba Shire, Fairview-Palmerville Road is not
           supported as a LRRS. Recommend considering other sources of funding such as non-LRRS TIDS and QRA
           betterment funding. Also recommend noting on the TMR freight study survey. Should the situation
           change in future (e.g. significant investment in the proposed new township) the committee would
           welcome a re-submission.

8. PPT update – amendments to MCA weightings

   Discussion took place around the amended MCA weightings for the PPT and their implications for road project
   prioritisation.

       •   PPT has been updated to reflect new MCA. Previous rankings versus new rankings were discussed.
       •   As a reminder, in reviewing the MCA we took out pre and post risk, which also took out some
           consequence scores in the background (NB: in the PPT “risk” considers pre and post consequence and
           pre and post road condition).
       •   MCA is scored on a 1-5 scale. Refining the options and increasing weightings brought some of the
           prioritisation scores closer together.
       •   A lot of the roads are similar. Length, value of project, and pre and post road conditions become main
           points of separation with the new criteria.
       •   The new criteria caused some clumping of projects in relation to rankings. In the updated PPT, the top 10
           projects remain in the top 10 while those further down the list start to clump together.
       •   As a comparison the tool was run using the new MCA with risk re-added to the formula. In this case risk
           was allocated 10% weighting with the RRIS weighting reduced from 20% to 10% to retain the overall
           MCA percentages.
       •   Consensus was that the PPT works better with the risk than without as it helps to prioritise projects
           more clearly.
       •   Resolution: recommend new MCA plus risk (with a 10% weighting) as it relates to pre and post project
           outcomes with the RRIS weighting reduced from 20% to 10%. The new rankings will impact projects
           scheduled for years 3-4 in the 4-year forward works program.

    Additional Discussion

       •   Reminder that Austroads and TMR methodology figures are built into the back end of the worksheet.
           Can be used by Councils to run own CBA to submit with funding applications. New methodology coming
           from TMR, will need to be captured in future tool updates.
       •   Planned future automation project will include a business process to look at what goes into the system.
       •   Benchmarks/standard scores for project types – do we need to define? Consideration for future.
       •   In future, need to identify outlier projects so inaccurate data can be analysed and discussed.
       •   Costs are different for gravel versus sealed roads – impacts 20-year cost comparisons in the BCA.
       •   Long-term impacts on budget are projected, e.g. approximate cost in 5 years’ time if project delayed plus
           impact on maintenance.
       •   To improve accuracy of the PPT, councils are requested to include more detail in their project
           submissions (for example traffic counts, roughness and rutting scores).

   Considerations for Future

       •   Group moderation of projects:
              o To increase ownership of PPT outcomes, the opportunity for group moderation of new project
                  submissions was discussed (similar to the process for nominating a new LRRS road). TC members
                  would then collectively own the moderation process.
       •   Outcome:
              o Group moderation not needed as the committee runs on a level of trust.
              o Preference is to rely on the information provided by Councils, knowing that the tool will do the
                  work and that the Technical Coordinator will follow-up with individual Councils as required.
              o All Councils should review their own projects every 1-2 years with the committee to then look at
                  the outliers only.

   Action 118.2: W Hughes to circulate a copy of the PPT project data worksheet with the minutes so Councils can
   review individual project details for accuracy. If edits are required, Councils are to email back the worksheet with
   tracked changes/changed colours to allow for editing in the master file.

 FNQROC – FNQ RRTG Technical Committee Meeting, Meeting No.118 - 9 December 2021                          Page 5 of 10
Action 118.3: All Councils are to revisit the 4-year works program and advise of old and/or superseded projects
   that should be deleted from the program ahead of the RRTG TC meeting in January.

   Action 118.4: W Hughes to progress the recommendation to the Board that the new MCA be amended to
   include a 10% weighting for Risk and a revised weighting of 10% for the RRIS to improve the results of the
   project prioritisation tool.

9. ROSI funding for Ootan Road

   •   On 15 November the Federal Government announced funding of $5.92M to build on previous upgrades to
       Ootan Road. The funds will be split between the Tableland ($3.26M) and Mareeba Shire ($2.66M) Councils.
   •   When matched 80/20, the total new investment for Ootan Road will be $7.4M ($4.08M for Tablelands and
       $3.32M for Mareeba).
   •   The administrative process between councils, TMR and the Department of Infrastructure, Transport and
       Regional Development needs to be clarified. For example, do the councils need to go through a Project
       Prioritisation Report process similar to Beef Roads? Requirement around P50 versus P90 to also be
       examined.

   Action 118.5: J Gillespie to confirm the funding process for the $5.92M Federal ROSI investment for Ootan Road
   and liaise with A Foster (Mareeba Shire Council) and J Blackie (Tablelands Regional Council) on project
   submission/grant approval requirements.

   Action 118.6: A Foster (Mareeba Shire Council) and J Blackie (Tablelands Regional Council) to review the Ootan
   Road project details in the TIDS forward 4-year works program and advise of any amendments to chainages
   and/or annual allocations in advance of the RRTG TC meeting in January 2022.

10. TIDS – 21/22 program progress update

    As at end November, TMR identified project underspends to the value of $792K. This is in addition to the
    projected underspend of $528K identified by the technical committee at its meeting on 12 October.

    To accommodate the projected underspend, discussion took place around potential projects to be pulled
    forward for delivery in the current financial year.

        •   Douglas Shire Council:
                o Project 397 (Cape Tribulation Road) – N Murray to investigate option to split over 2 years. Value
                    of the split to be advised if project can be partially delivered in the current financial year.
                o Projects 398,332 and 399 (Cape Tribulation Road) – N Murray to investigate if any of the
                    projects can be brought forward if required.
        •   Etheridge Shire Council:
                o Project 134 (Forsayth-Einasleigh Road) – D Fletcher to investigate option to bring forward if
                    required.
        •   Cassowary Coast Regional Council:
                o Projects 345 (Tully Gorge Road), 346 (Tully Gorge Road), 349 (Spanos Road), 350 (Spanos Road),
                    351 (Warrakin Road), 347 (East Feluga Road), 348 (East Feluga Road), 353 (Pernase Road), 352
                    (Warrakin Road) – J Fischer advised that all have been delivered and can be claimed in 2021-
                    2022 if required.
        •   Mareeba Shire Council:
                o Project 219 (Euluma Creek Road) – A Foster advised an additional $173K is required for
                    completion. D Irvine confirmed that if budget was increased to $600k, the project stays ranked
                    at 24 in the PPT.

 FNQROC – FNQ RRTG Technical Committee Meeting, Meeting No.118 - 9 December 2021                        Page 6 of 10
o  Project 221 (Euluma Creek Road) – A Foster advised that scope has reduced to fit budget and
                   confirmed that if the budget increased to $1.3M, council can deliver the full scope of the
                   project. D Irvine advised that the project ranking would drop from 21 to 23 in the PPT.
               o Project 214 (Springmount Road) – A Foster advised an additional $105K is required for
                   completion. D Irvine confirmed that if budget was increased to $710K, the project stays ranked
                   at 55 in the PPT.
        •   Croydon Shire Council:
               o Projects 202, 379, 382 (Croydon-Richmond Road) – G Pickering to investigate if delivery can be
                   brought forward if required.
        •   Cook Shire Council:
               o Projects 337 (Boundary Street), 577 (Garden Street) – A Akrami confirmed that if the budget
                   increased to $300K for both projects, council can deliver them to full scope.
               o Project 377 (Poison Creek Road) – A Akrami confirmed there is potential to increase the
                   estimate to $200K total.
               o Project 102 (Charlotte Street) – A Akrami confirmed there is potential to increase project scope.
                   The chainages would remain as is with 4-5 intersections upgraded instead of 2. Overspent last
                   year on this project. Current design identified intersections that can be made safer. Estimate to
                   be provided if project is needed.

    Action 118.7: D Irvine to make amendments to the forward 4-year works program for consideration and
    endorsement by the RRTG Board via Flying Minute. W Hughes to update the 2021-2022 Works Program to
    reflect the endorsed changes and circulate with the minutes.

    Action 118.8: N Murray (Douglas), D Fletcher (Etheridge) and G Pickering (Croydon) to investigate if early
    delivery of projects identified in the forward works program is achievable and be ready to advise status at the
    RRTG TC meeting in January.

11. Legal/contractual issues

   J Fischer invited members to nominate questions relating to road and land management issues that require
   specific legal advice. A Akrami has a list of initial questions that will be circulated with the minutes so that other
   Councils can review and contribute.

   Action 118.9: W Hughes to circulate the initial questions raised requiring legal clarification of Road Management
   Responsibilities with the minutes. Councils are to review and include any additional questions via tracked
   changes in advance of the meeting in January.

12. Update from the LGAQ Roads and Transport Advisory Group

   The LGAQ Roads and Transport Advisory Group meeting took place concurrently with the RRTG TC meeting. The
   meeting covered the key issues of:
       • Road Maintenance Performance Contracts (RMPC)
       • Heavy Vehicle Road Reform
       • Austroads National Data Standard
       • TMR’s Freight Action Plan

   Action 118.10: W Hughes to circulate the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and
   Communications National Service Level Standards and Heavy Vehicle Road Reform presentation provided to

13. Update from the Roads Alliance Project Team

   R Chow provided the following written update on behalf of LGAQ.

       •   The 2021 RRTG Assembly and the LGAQ Annual Conference in Mackay was held in late October and was
           very well attended. There were a total of 108 motions for consideration – this included 12 roads and
           transport related motions, all of which passed.
       •   The Annual Conference Resolutions are now available on Congruent. The direct link to the roads and
           transport page is https://congruent.lgaq.asn.au/portfolio/roads-transport/.
       •   Ahead of the Federal election, from a Roads and Transport perspective LGAQ will be advocating for:
           o      $800M per year nationally for four years to fund Roads to Recovery
           o      $200M per year for five years to fix ‘first and last mile’ issues
           o      Permanent Bridges Renewal Program funding
           o      Increased funding for road safety ($3B nationally)
           o      Continuation of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCIP) beyond 2023

   T Lindenberg provided the following update on behalf of TMR.

   TIDS Program Update

       •   2020-21 statewide TIDS Expenditure is currently at 25% at the end of November. FNQ is currently at
           37%, so tracking well at this stage. Second quarterly reports will be sent out early in the new year.
       •   ATSI TIDS applications are now open and all councils with primary access routes into first nations
           communities are eligible to apply. Applications close Monday 15 February. John Gillespie from the Far
           North district office manages the program.
       •   There is another $600,000 in SCDF available this FY, with 26 projects already committed. Since the last
           meeting the SCDF application for the Yarrabah Transport Network Plan has been approved.
       •   The Roads and Transport Alliance Board meeting scheduled to be held on Monday 29 November went
           ahead via FM. All board papers were noted and the decision on the Road Length Review is pending.
           LGAQ are seeking more information from the Local Government Grants Commission regarding the
           reported road length data. A decision should be made later this month.
       •   The Roads and Transport Alliance (RTA) Assembly was held on 25 October in Mackay in conjunction with
           the LGAQ conference and had record attendance. The annual progress report was released at the
           Assembly, thanks again to Etheridge and Cook for the stories on Battlecamp Rd and Strathmore Rd.
       •   TMR has two active transport related grants currently open for applications. Cycle Network LGG program
           and the Walking LGG program. Applications close 17 December.
       •   TIDS program recognition signage. Reminder to send photos to T Lindenberg for projects over $250K.

  Road Categorisation for Temporary Traffic Management

       •   Adjustment of Austroads definitions has now been finalised to address issues relating to road
           categorisation. This includes:
               o the categorisation of divided roads with small medians or centre parking and an average daily
                   volume of less than 3,000 vehicles a day; and
               o roads with railway interfaces.
       •   For both situations, by default they will be treated as Category 1 roads.
       •   For roads with railway interfaces, to classify the road as Category 2 there should be traffic signals or
           other factors (such as traffic volumes) that warrant the change.
       •   The updated definition will take precedence over the published road categories in the Austroads Guide
           to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) Part 8.
       •   TMR have included the information as a technical note on the webpage
           https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/business-industry/Technical-standards-publications/Temporary-Traffic-
           Management

14. Temporary Traffic Management Toolkit (IPWEAQ)

    An offer from IPWEAQ to provide the FNQ RRTG TC with access to the Temporary Traffic Management Toolkit
    through SCDF subsidised funding was discussed.

    It was determined that subscriptions to the toolkit would be best managed by Councils individually.

16. Points for noting to the FNQ RRTG or FNQROC Boards

   Allocation of TIDS funding to TMR LRRS

   As noted in the RRTG Board minutes dated 2 December 2021, at the February Board meeting consideration is to
   be given to allocating TIDS funding to state controlled LRRS roads. The Technical Committee has discussed this in
   detail and has recommended that TIDS be retained for investment in local government controlled LRRS roads.

   Amendments to the PPT Multi Criteria Analysis

   It is recommended that the new MCA adopted by the RRTG on 14 June be amended to include risk as it relates
   to pre and post project outcomes, with risk weighted at 10%. The RRIS weighting will be reduced from 20% to
   10% to accommodate the change. In re-prioritising the forward 4-year works program, the current 2-year
   program will remain fixed with the new rankings to impact years 3-4 only.

REGIONAL AERODROME OPERATIONAL BUSINESS PLAN
                                 (x COUNCILS)

                               Contract No.: FNQxxx
Request for Quotation

PART 1 – PREAMBLE

The Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) invites Quotations from suitably qualified respondents
to undertake a Regional Aerodrome Operations Business Plan project for x member Councils.
The intent of the Regional Aerodrome Operations Business Plan is to provide Councils with a baseline plan that ensures a
consistent approach is applied to the management, maintenance and renewal of aerodromes across the Far North Region over the
next 10-20 years.
The key questions for the plan to address are:
    1.   What are the costs associated with providing aerodrome services to the regional communities of Far North Queensland?
    2.   How might Councils seek to recover these costs in a long-term and sustainable way?
Other issues to be considered through this project include:
    a)   Each Council has different asset management practices with aerodromes often managed in reaction to mandatory
         requirements. The Consultant will be expected to investigate each aerodrome individually then summarise opportunities for
         regional collaboration.
    b)   The Consultant will be required to undertake an assessment of demand drivers for each aerodrome (eg population growth
         or decline, mining or industrial developments, local access to health care and education services etc), with the findings to
         then inform a regional demand forecast to assist with forward planning of assets.
    c)   The Consultant will be required to prepare an estimate of operating and capital costs for each aerodrome based on routine
         preventative maintenance activities (compliance), long term forward works programs, and allowances for anticipated
         reactive maintenance (based on historical costs).
    d)   The plan should include a gap analysis of current operational conditions that can be used to develop a prioritised list of
         potential works. Relevant underlying assumptions will need to be documented for each aerodrome.
The final deliverables must include a detailed technical report and an Executive Summary appropriate for public distribution, with
any commercially sensitive information included in the appendices for redaction if required.
The report will also need to include plans to address the (recommended) corrective actions required to standardise regional
aerodrome management and maintenance.
Budget and Timing

The price to undertake the Regional Aerodrome Operations Business Plan project is to be quoted by the Contractor in
responding to the RFT (excluding GST and including all expenses).

All deliverables are expected to be completed by Friday 9 December 2022. It is therefore expected the DRAFT plan will be
completed by September/October 2022 to allow time for revisions prior to finalising the report.

Stakeholder Engagement
While the governing and decision-making body for the Project is the FNQROC organisation, the Contractor is expected to work
collaboratively with the Councils throughout to ensure that all x Councils are engaged and supportive of the recommendations. This
is to make sure the plan is appropriate and actionable going forward.
