Civil Works

Within capital works, there are a number of components, these include roadworks, drainage,local area traffic management (LATM) (including Blackspot projects) and pathway construction.The following is a brief summary on those works -

Capital New

Roadworks - Significant projects include the duplication of Ranford Road(between Tonkin Highway and Armadale Road) (Council has obtained a StateGovernment grant for partial funding of these works), completion of the currentduplication of Warton Road (between Nicholson Road and Armadale Road) andStage 1 of the duplication of Nicholson Road (between Keane Road and MasonRoad). In addition the realignment of the Abbey Road and Railway Avenueintersection at Armadale Road, which will include traffic signals, will alsocommence (this project is not shown here, but will take place as per Council'sPlan for the Future .)

Drainage - Significant projects include Stage 5 of the Slab Gully Drainageupgrade, which will all but complete the upgrading of the Slab Gully Drainageproject, and the construction of an outfall drain for Lowanna Way and GladstoneRoad.

Maintenance includes drainage gully educting, road shoulder grading, potholerepairs and other road and pathway surface repairs. Additional initiatives, whichcommenced last year due to rapid growth in residential developments includecleaning and general maintenance of alternative drainage structures, such asgross pollutant traps and grassed or vegetated swale drains, particularly in thenewer areas of the North Forrestdale region and Seville Grove. Operationsinclude street and car park sweeping.

The following is a commentary on the works to be undertaken by the Technical ServicesDirectorate. A full and detailed list of any Capital works is listed in the Directorate FundingAllocations for 2010-2011 - Additional Information section of this document (commencing page19).

Roadworks - Significant projects include the resurfacing of Wallangarra Road(north and south), Angorra Road and Tranquil Road. Several more roadsections are proposed for resurfacing within the City.

LATM Works (including Blackspot projects) - Significant projects include theinstallation of traffic signals at the intersection of Tonkin Highway and ChampionDrive, new roundabout at the intersection of Challis Road and Seville Drive andinstallation of traffic calming devices along Clifton Street and San Jacinta Road.

A number of other locations within the City have attracted Blackspot funding inorder to improve the safety of intersections.

The Capital (Renewal) proposals are distributed over a number of facilities.Some of the more significant projects are -


As part of a more structured and rigorous testing process to determine the priority for Capital(Upgrade) and Capital (Renewal) funds allocations, 50 of the City's more significant buildingswere surveyed and a condition rating was applied to components within those buildings. Eachbuilding was then rated against each other to assist in the determination of the appropriatefunds allocations. The works required were then cost estimated based on Rawlinson's Australian Construction Handbook 2009 . It is proposed that a further 50 buildings be conditionrated in the upcoming financial year. In this iteration of the Property Services budget it has beennecessary to use a portion of the proposed allocated funds to satisfy the outcomes derived fromthe survey as well as to apply a portion of funds against those buildings that have not yet beenthe subject of the condition rating survey.

Capital New

Some of the more significant expenditure includes the construction of a newtoilet facility in Memorial Park , installation of audio equipment in the CouncilChambers and construction of a disabled toilet within the Gwynne Park SportsPavilion. A number of other various smaller new works are also included.

Capital Upgrade

The Capital (Upgrade) proposals are distributed over a number of facilities.Some of the more significant projects are -

Property

Operation and maintenance of Council-owned buildings includes continualmonitoring, reporting and risk assessment of Council-owned buildings as wellas the day-to-day utility charges, insurances, minor repairs and minor renewalsthat are also associated with the ownership of buildings. Costs in these areasare influenced by increased standards, rising building material and labour costsand projected increases in utility and service charges.

Waste


Residential Waste Charge - This has increased from $204 to $222 to cover theirportion of the additional levy payments for the domestic waste, verge junk andnon-recyclable material from the yellow-top (recycling) bin (30%) to landfill. Italso covers the processing of ever-increasing e-waste collected from residents.

Waste Disposal - The River Regional Council's (RRC) (of which the City is amember) proposed Alternative Waste Treatment Plan has been delayed by 12months to allow for the City of Rockingham to complete a study on its futurewaste needs as this may potentially impact and influence any proposal putforward by the RRC.

During the last financial year concept plans have been developed for the finalprofile of the landfill, a permanent transfer station for trailers and possibly forwaste trucks.

The possibility of relocating the landfill workshop, combined with the bin storageshed and trailer transfer station on sections completed to final profile to allowmaximum landfill use is currently under design and will be presented to Councilfor approval when finalised. Consideration has been given in the design toaccommodate waste processing contractors operating on site. There arebenefits to Council's waste reduction processing and contractors if suitablearrangements can be devised.

Automatic gates for both the Greenwaste Site at Roleystone and Landfill Site atHilbert were proposed in last year's budget but have been delayed until thisfinancial year. The planned installation will controlled entry to the sites withoutthe need for a gate person being present. This is seen as beneficial as illegaldumping has occurred during periods of inoperation. It is also required in orderto account for the entry and exit movements of the Verge Collection Contractorand Mulch Contractor.

Street Lighting - Street lighting charges and normal infrastructure powerconsumption will increase by 30% in the 2010-2011 financial year. These newcharges will have a significant impact on the costs of providing these services.

Crossovers and Kerb Inspections - With the sustained growth of the City, the1,300 crossover applications that were processed during the 2009-2010financial year are expected to continue into 2010-2011, with no likely downturnin the near future.

The same situation applies to kerb inspections - which require a pre-construction and post-construction inspection - with detailed documentation andphotographic assessments prior to security bond releases on the increase.

Graffiti - Anti-graffiti programs are now being employed using Council's day-labour force as well as the Civil Pride Action Group (CPAG) to remove graffiti aswell as report 'hot spots' to the local Police.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) - With the implementation of Council's CCTVsystem, there is now the ongoing operations and maintenance aspect of thesystem with administrative fault reporting and procedural operationaldocumentation.


City of Armadale



- The cost of collection is about $20,000 ($170 / tonne)- Additional collection vehicle required- Another obstruction on the verge- Vandalism of approximately 10 tonne and the cleanup of the verge-

10

Large volume of material arriving in a short period requiring extra labour andcreating storage and handling problems

To overcome all of these problems it is proposed that, instead of collecting fromthe verge, 2 CRT disposal passes at the landfill be offered to the residents (nothouse owners) at the time of the next verge collection. The costs of processingthe waste has been factored into the Resource Recovery Centre costs.

Waste Collection - The total numbers of new households requiring wasteservices is expected to be around 1,400. The additional waste truck purchasedin 2009-2010 will handle this increase. In all, 5 trucks will be collecting fromapproximately 25,000 households. The cost of the additional truck with sparecapacity has been factored into the residential rubbish rate.

The Hilbert site (formerly Brookdale) has several days of the year where staffare employed only for the purpose of allowing entry for the waste trucks.Automated gates and a weighing system will allow the trucks entry without thelandfill being manned.

Resource Recovery Centre - The processing of e-waste in Western Australiahas been unreliable and expensive. A small-scale community basedprocessing facility has been trialled in one of the landfill sheds that is, atpresent, surplus to operational needs. The trial has been highly successful withstaff members processing 70 tonnes at a competitive rate. A grant has beensought for equipment to improve the makeshift facilities currently in use and thisis included within the budget figures.

Waste

Verge Collections - Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) computer screens and televisionscontain 7% lead, with portions of the components up to 28%. To prevent thescreens going to landfill they have been separated from the incoming wasteover the last 4 years. However, screens placed out for verge collection werenot separated.

A trial was introduced with the last verge junk collection where e-waste wascollected separately. A total of 120 tonnes was collected and processed. Thisis approximately half of all the e-waste separated at the site, and it alsocompares favourably with the volume and cost effectiveness of the recent Applee-waste collection days over the metropolitan area, where 220 tonnes wascollected. It is an effective method of removing e-waste from the waste stream,however it has several shortcoming, the main being -

and

employ 6 additional staff members (1 salaried and 5 wages) in the Parks andReserves Department to relieve the additional public open space workloadsgenerated through the high growth areas of the City.

This will bring the Directorate staffing numbers to 48.4 salaried employees and 81.5 waged staffmembers. Consideration of these additional positions is subject to the Chief Executive Officer'sStaff Establishment Report. The positions and funding methods are -

At the 2009 Chief Executive Officer's Staff Establishment Review, it was reported that therewere 43.4 salaried staff and 76.5 waged staff in the Directorate.

In order to meet the rapid growth of residential and commercial development within the City, aswell as the expected accompanying higher level of service delivery, assessment of current staffallocations within the Directorate's growth has provided the opportunity to consolidate workpractices in order to meet Council's expectations and customer satisfaction withoutcompromising service standards.

It is proposed to -

Delaying lower prioritised issues and projects, awaiting resource availability.Engaging consultants / contractors to ensure programmed work continues.Utilisation of flexible and innovative remuneration methods.

Despite a contraction in growth during the second half of the 2009-2010 financial year, sourcingsuitably qualified and experienced professional staff to fill a number of Directorate vacanciescontinued to prove difficult. This situation continues to be an issue because of the confinedgrowth in subdivisions and housing developments, implementation of Council's major strategicprojects, as well as increased traffic and community growth within the City.
