Field work is now complete. The Contractor advised the full network of imagery and data has been provided.

Condition survey of the sealed road network complete.

The team will now perform data remediation where required, and conduct analysis of the data to develop the next Road Pavement Rehabilitation Program Statement of Intent (SoI).

As at the end of the fourth quarter, the Chambers Flat Community Reference Group (CRG) was formed and initial concepts for the site master plan have been discussed. CRG members have had the opportunity to visit Cedar Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant and the new site at Chambers Flat. Community feedback was fed into the site master plan.

A pre-lodgement meeting was held with Department of Environment and Science (DES) regarding the licence submission where Council was advised that it would need to submit water quality modelling as part of the licence submission. This was an unexpected requirement and will delay full submission until 2022/2023. The delay in submission will have no impact on the build of the plant due to the revised later construction timing following the latest growth data and forecasts.

The process is still proceeding and the timing is no longer critical due to a change in population forecasts.

Logan Water is expecting to submit to DES in quarter 2 of the 2022/2023 financial year, with an expected response from DES in quarter 3 of the 2022/2023 financial year.

Recommendations

This project has already been included in the Operational Plan 2022/2023.

• design efficiency
• lower overall project costs associated with design elements
• production of design documentation that creates 'shovel ready' future stages with the potential to create funding opportunities through external grants.

Consultation has been undertaken with all relevant stakeholders in relation to the above. Delays to 'on ground' project delivery are not anticipated as a result of this extension.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this project be brought into the Operational Plan 2022/2023 with an anticipated completion date for design documentation in quarter 2 of 2022/2023.
