Clr McCarthy – Mowing Clr McCarthy asked for an update regarding the good tractor mower, Clr McCarthy commented we are using a slasher at the moment. Understand the tractor mower had a bent shaft. Technical Service Director took the question on notice. The shaft had been sent away to a company in Melbourne to be recalibrated. The Director will follow up when it will be back. Clr McCarthy – Footpath at The Common Several years ago Council resolved to install a footpath at the Common which would run from Edith Road so we could get a bus into the toilet. What happened to it, the work agreed to be done but was never completed? The Technical Services Director took the question on notice. Clr McCarthy – Water on Lowes Mount Road Adjacent to 250 Lowes Mount Road water runs in off a private property and causes water pooling on Lowes Mount Road. There is half a days work and two pipes required to fix this issues. Is it possible to allocate funds from Section 94 and get the work done. There has never been pipes put in there, where the water comes out it is possible it may cause an accident. The approximate cost to carry out the work is $1000. The Technical Services Director has previously inspected the issue and agrees there is a water issue transpiring from the that property onto Lowes Mount Road. The Director will look at having the work completed from the current maintenance budget.




Clr Gibbons – Burroughs Crossing Road Clr Gibbons asked for an update regarding Waldara funding contribution towards Burroughs Crossing Road. Residents have raised concern regarding the condition of the road and it was a requirement of the Development Application that funding was provided to upgrade the road. The General Manager advised this matter will be followed up. Clr Lyon – Seat outside Oberon Library Clr Lyon asked that we replace the chair outside the Library that was previously under the portico.

5. REPORTS

05.01 CAPITAL WORKS PROGRAM – PROGRESS UPDATE 2019/2020

File No: Financial Management/Budgeting/Capital Works Program Author: Director Technical Services, Chris Schumacher

Summary

This report provides Council with an update on the Capital Works Program for 2019/2020 financial year, completed to the month of October 2019.

Recommendation: That report item 05.01 be received as information.

Comment: FOLLOWING is a copy of the 2019/2020 Project Gantt Chart outlining the Capital Construction program update of this financial years work to June 2020. Due to warmer and drier than average weather conditions experienced during the winter months into spring, capital road construction work has commenced earlier then normal. The only downside to date has been the scarce availability of nearby water sources. The warmer weather is the ideal time with warmer ground conditions and air temperature required to assist road compaction activities and bitumen sealing of roads. The following projects are currently in progress or about to commence: 1. Hazelgrove Road – 1.67km of road reconstruction from Emu Valley Creek to the Fish River

Bridge. Allocated budget of $279,000 ($170,000 SRV & $109,000 R2R) – November.

2. Abercrombie Road – Rehabilitation of 700m of road pavement at Black Springs - Complete

3. Curtis & Earl Street Kerb & Gutter – Construction of new Kerb & Gutter – November to December 2019.

4. Water Main Renewal – Ross/Bligh Street Intersection to end of Links Close/Water Plant Lane – November to December

5. Sporting Oval Top Soil/Fertilization 5 Ground – 2 x Leagues Grounds, Junior Soccer Field, Recreation Ground & Cunynghame Oval – Complete.

6. Recreation Ground Garden Bed – North Street Frontage – Complete.

7. Repairs & Bitumen Spray Seals to Hargraves Quarry Road, sections of Old Shooters Hill Road & Edith Road & Titania Road – Total $450,000 - November to December.

8. Bitumen Road Reseals - Local Streets, Rural Roads and Regional Roads – December. Safer Roads Program

An application has been submitted through the Roads & Maritime Services online portal during September for grant funding of up to $1,965,000 to address road safety issues (crash clusters) on various sections of Abercrombie Road over a 21km length commencing south of the Black Springs Village. There are seven identified curves that are considered ‘high risk’ with the road also being at an altitude of 1100m, subject to frost, snow and fog making the road slippery particularly along sections heavily shaded by vegetation. The road carries a large volume of B-Double trucks and increasing route for tourism using the south-north corridor of Tablelands Way.


16 | P a g e

Fixing Country Roads (FCR)

An updated application has been submitted for the next round of FCR for the Campbell’s River Road realignment at Campbell’s River. The application was submitted on 10 October for a project amount of $1,600,000. Tablelands Way Project An application has been put together by Oberon Council and submitted for assessment by State Government for upgrade to various nominated sections of the Tablelands Way route traversing across three separate Council LGA’s of Upper Lachlan Shire Council, Oberon Council & Lithgow City Council. Oberon Council staff have scoped 19.8km of the Lowes Mount Road as part of the submission, seeking to upgrade from Albion Street intersection through to the Fish River Bridge on the Mutton Falls Road. If successful, funding of approximately $6,800,000 will be allocated most likely over 3 separate consecutive financial years for road rehabilitation works along the Lowes Mount Road commencing from Oberon. Albion Street Heavy Vehicle Bypass

Representation has recently been made to the Federal Member the Hon Andrew Gee MP requesting assistance with funding to upgrade the 25 year old heavy vehicle bypass, which has seen increased traffic movements with the ever increasing pressures of industrial expansion and greater gross weighted truck movements. The total cost estimation for the renewal of the 4.2km length of Albion Street is $2,754,390. Main Road 255 runs from the Western intersection road of O’Connell & Abercrombie Road and ends at the intersection with the Duckmaloi Road, East Oberon. This section of road is a total of 4.2km in length with a bio-directional trafficable pavement width of approximately 8.0m in width, not including the existing roadside shoulders. Albion Street was constructed in 1994 as a new ‘Heavy Vehicle By-pass Road ‘to eliminate logging and heavy transport haulage through the built up town streets of Oberon. The road at the time of construction was built to a standard to cater for single 19m long, ridged trucks of a maximum carrying weight capacity of 42.5 tonne. Council is receiving increasing pressure from local industry seeking NHVR Permits to increase pay loads with “Higher Mass Limits” increasing performance and capability of new trucks. These ongoing approvals have been granted approvals to use HML as to facilitate better business opportunities with vehicles up to 65t in weight carrying capacity now utilising these carriageways. Note: The difference of 23 tonne in pay load is predominately taking its toll on the existing road, which the existing pavement was not designed for such weight capacity and now showing fatigue and failure across many aspects of the road pavement. RMS – Roads Maintenance Council Contract Works

RMCC WORKS OBERON LGA – Work planning for repairs on both the Duckmaloi & O’Connell State Road network will see $380,000 of heavy patching repairs commencing from 18 November 2019. The work will consist of a pavement stabilising machine to apply slag/Lime mix to strengthen the below section of pavement, works is expected to take 2 weeks to complete.

1. Titania Road and Deep Creek

2. On the eastern end of Duckmaloi Road 700m before Jenolan Caves Road intersection RMCC DRAINAGE PROJECT – TRUNKEY ROAD - As part of Roads Maintenance Council Contract work with the RMS, Council staff have recently put a bid together for a drainage improvement project to bridge approaches on the Trunkey Road at the boundary between Bathurst Regional Council & Upper Lachlan Shire Council. At the request of RMS the work project has a budget of $34,000 and is to be facilitated by Oberon Council resources commencing 12 November and anticipated for completion by 22 November 2019.

05.02 ROAD CLOSURE HAZELGROVE ROAD

File No: Roads/RoadClosures/Permanent Author: Peter Morgan, Technical Services Manager & Rebecca Burgess, Technical Services Administration

Summary

This report requests Council resolve to undertake a notification process for the closure of portions of public road located on Hazelgrove Road shown as Lots 4 and 5 in the attached plan. Following the notification process a further report will be presented to Council for its consideration.

Recommendation:

That Council: 1. Endorse the proposal to close the parts of public road located on Hazelgrove Road shown as

Lots 4 and 5 in the Plan of Subdivision and Road Closing pursuant to section 38A of the Roads Act 1993 (NSW).

2. That the General Manager be delegated authority to undertake the notification process required under section 38 of the Roads Act 1993 (NSW).

Comment

FOLLOWING Plan of Subdivision and Road Closing detail illustrating the portions of land involved. This report seeks Council endorsement to undertake a notification process for the closure of unformed portions of public road of which is currently located on both the western and eastern sides of the Hazelgrove Road. Following the notification process a further report will be presented to Council which will include any submissions received as part of the notification process requesting Council's further approval to:

Close Lots 4 and 5 by notice published in the NSW Government Gazette;

Upon closure classify Lots 4 and 5 as operational land;

Transfer Lots 4 and 5, once closed, to the respective adjoining landowners in consideration of Council’s acquisition by mutual agreement of proposed Lots 3, 7, 8 and 6.

Council by negotiation with the landowner has received written agreement to acquire the land on an exchange basis where the new parcels of land will be offset by transferring sections of unused road reserve. The original road was not contained with the gazetted road reserve necessitating redefining of the road reserve with the addition of parcels required to improve the horizontal alignment. Fencing of the new road boundaries has been completed with Council staff currently realigning the road to improve the curves prior to sealing. This work will see the complete sealing of Hazelgrove Road. The changes to the Roads Act 1993 (NSW) which came into effect in July 2018, place the onus on

Councils to notify and approve the closure of council public roads.


21 | P a g e

As such, Council are required to approve the proposal to close the relevant public road and resolve to undertake the notification process. A further report will be presented to Council at the conclusion of the notification period for endorsement.

05.03 FIXING LOCAL ROADS PROGRAM – FUNDING APPLICATION

File No: Roads/Programs Author: Director Technical Services, Chris Schumacher

Summary

Regional & Rural Local Government areas were notified by the Roads & Maritime Services on 1 November of a State Government funding opportunity through the newly announced ‘Fixing Local Roads Program’ primarily aimed at addressing vital infrastructure backlog on Council local road networks.

Recommendation: That report item 05.03 be received as information.

Comment: FOLLOWING is a copy of ‘The Fixing Local Roads’ Guidelines outlining eligibility

criteria. The NSW Government has launched the ‘Fixing Local Roads Program’ which has been specifically developed for Regional and Rural Councils to carry out vital maintenance and repair work on local roads. The Fixing Local Roads Program is a Sate Government commitment of $500 million over five years to assist councils in managing and maintaining their local road networks. This investment will aid in the reduction of Council maintenance backlogs for local roads and assist in keeping communities connected, increasing economic and social development in Regional and Rural NSW. Applications are now invited from eligible councils for the Fixing Local Roads funding and will be received up to 2 December 2019. Councils are strongly encouraged to identify opportunities for funding and ensure they apply within the designated timeframe. Oberon Council is one of 95 Councils which are eligible for this funding, noting that all Council have been given 4 weeks to put their submission together. Eligible projects are required to be maintenance driven and include repairing pot holes on a key local road, sealing an unsealed road that will improve safety or improve access to services or industry or patching or repairing cracking on a key local road. Of particular note the guidelines indicate that in recognition of the concerns of a number of councils regarding maintaining roads in LGA’s with large areas of forest a portion of the funding from the total allocation will be specifically earmarked for roads in forestry areas. Council will be aware of the significant work currently being undertaken to make the State Government aware of issues Oberon is having on local roads through impacts by heavy forestry vehicles on its local road network. This acknowledgement by the State is welcomed by Council.

1 Fixing Local Roads I Guidelines

Message from the Minister

The NSW Government understands that many rural and regional councils in NSW are struggling to cope with the fnancial burden of maintaining local roads. We recognise that this task is even tougher during times of drought.

Fixing Local Roads is a game-changer for regional and rural councils in NSW. This fve year $500 million program is specifcally designed to help regional and rural councils carry out vital maintenance and repair work on local roads. It is an investment in the road network that our families use every day, that underpin our regional economies and that drive growth.

Delivering better roads mean safer, faster and more reliable trips. That means our communities can grow, businesses can thrive and local motorists can get home sooner and safer.

Paul Toole Minister for Regional Transport and Roads

The Fixing Local Roads Program is available to 93 regional councils, Unincorporated Far West and Lord Howe Island which will be able to apply for grants to repair priority local roads.

Through Fixing Locals Roads, the NSW Government is supporting regional and rural NSW to be a great place to live and work. I look forward to seeing the impact this program has in our communities.

Fixing Local Roads I Guidelines

Introduction

The NSW Government has committed $500 million to a Fixing Local Roads program to improve council roads across rural and regional NSW. This investment will help reduce the maintenance backlog for councils, targeting roads that do not meet the freight signifcance or beneft to cost ratio (BCR) requirements of the current Fixing Country Roads (FCR) program. Fixing Local Roads aims to fund improvements to local roads that will deliver smoother, safer and more reliable journeys.

Overview

The Fixing Local Roads Program will provide up to $500 million to councils to help manage and maintain their local road networks over several rounds of funding.

These guidelines provide an overview of the Fixing Local Roads Program, the eligibility criteria, and details about the application and assessment process.

Fixing Local Roads will provide funding to councils to repair, maintain or seal priority or important local roads. The program will open in November 2019.

It is important that local residents see work starting on these projects quickly. For this reason, shovel ready projects will be prioritised and councils will be expected to complete projects within two years of a successful funding application.

Providing certainty of funding to councils as early as possible is a priority for the implementation of the Fixing Local Roads Program. The program will look to councils to deliver best value for money for each dollar spent. This may involve councils providing matching funding (relevant to their fnancial position), seeking additional investment from third parties, such as commercial benefciaries of the works and the Australian Government, or proposing innovative planning and construction solutions.

We encourage local councils to leverage diferent funding sources from other NSW Government grant programs to maximise the community benefts of the project.

Alignment with Future Transport Strategy 2056

Transport for NSW’s Future Transport Strategy 2056, through its Regional Services and Infrastructure Plan, identifed the need to continue to build and improve local infrastructure such as roads, rail and bridges in regional and rural NSW. This is being done through existing programs such as Fixing Country Roads, Bridges for the Bush and the Walking and Cycling programs, and will now be supported through Fixing Local Roads.

Future Transport Strategy 2056 also recognises the need for a more integrated local and state road network to provide seamless and safe journeys for all customers. Fixing Local Roads will support councils to repair and maintain those important local roads that will improve road safety and support freight and regional travel.

Program objectives

Well-maintained roads play a vital role in our regions, supporting growth and development, as well as providing safe and reliable access to critical services, such as hospitals and schools.

The objectives of the Fixing Local Roads Program are aligned with the Regional NSW transport customer outcomes outlined in Future Transport Strategy 2056. These are:

Fixing Local Roads Program Objectives Regional NSW transport customer outcomes (Future Transport Strategy 2056)

Improve the reliability of the local road network Safely, efciently and reliably moving people and goods

Improve the resilience of the local road network Safely, efciently and reliably moving people and goods

Improve road safety Safely, efciently and reliably moving people and goods

Promote regional development in rural communities Connecting people and places in the growing city

Support families in rural and remote areas Accessible for all customers

Assist councils to sustainably manage their assets Makes the best use of available resources and assets

Eligibility

Who can apply?

The Fixing Local Roads Program is available to the 93 regional councils listed in Appendix 1, as well as the Unincorporated Far West and Lord Howe Island.

Councils are encouraged to work with their neighbouring councils to put forward nominations that address regional priorities. Councils are also encouraged to work with their Joint Organisation of Councils (JOs) to identify these regional priorities.

Councils and Joint Organisations should contact Transport for NSW via [email protected] to seek advice on potential projects and for information on preparing applications.

Eligible projects

Councilswill be able to apply for grants to repair priority local roads. Eligible projects should meet the following criteria. The project must be:

• located on a local road managed by council

• identifable as a priority or important local road for the local government area or region

• deliverable within 24 months of notifcation from Transport for NSW

• maintenance driven such as repairing, patching, maintaining or sealing existing roads.

Examples of eligible projects are:

• repairing pot holes on a key local road

• sealing an unsealed road that will improve safety or improve access to services or industry

• patching or repairing cracking on a key local road.

Examples of ineligible projects are:

• widening shoulders or building new roads

• any project on private roads

• any project on the State or Regional road network.


Assessment criteria

A multi-criteria assessment process will be used to assess council applications. This multi-criteria assessment is consistent with the Transport for NSW Principles and Guidelines for Economic Appraisal of Transport Investments and Initiatives.

For all proposals, applicants must clearly state the following:

• Problem defnition - What are the current constraints, conditions or issues?

• Project scope - What type of work does the project involve?

• Project outcome - What can community and industry expect after the items outlined in the Project Scope have been completed?

• Summary of benefts - What key benefts will be generated from the Project Outcome?

Multi-criteria assessment

Councils will be asked to address a number of criteria under each category that will be assessed on a score of 1 (low priority) to 5 (high priority). The scores will be combined into a single multi-criteria rating based on a weighting for each criteria.

The criteria and weighting is shown in Table 1.

Beneft to Cost Ratio (BCR)

Fixing Local Roads will not require projects to meet a threshold BCR for applications to be considered. This is consistent with the program objectives of delivering funding support to councils for projects that may have an economic, social or safety beneft, which may not be captured by a BCR assessment. Projects will still be assessed on a best value-for-money basis.

Other supporting information

Applicants are encouraged to provide documentation in support of their application. This documentation may include photographs, engineering reports, road priority hierarchy and reports, maintenance reports, recent weather events not previously captured by a Natural Disaster Declaration.

Assessment panel

An assessment panel will be established by Transport for NSW and consist of relevant technical and policy subject matter experts. The assessment panel will review each application and make a recommendation to government on those projects that meet the criteria.

The government will then announce those projects that have been deemed successful and are to receive the funding.

The decision of government will be fnal. The government may also, in its absolute discretion, choose not to award funding to projects that may have met the criteria.

Funding limits and co-contributions

There is a maximum funding limit of $5 million of state contribution per council per application. Applicants can apply for up to 100 per cent of the value of the project, but co-contributions from council are strongly encouraged and will be considered relevant to council’s funding position. A general rule of thumb is a minimum co-contribution of 25 per cent. Non-compliant proposals may be considered.

Councils are strongly encouraged to source additional investment to support their applications and enhance their local road maintenance projects. This might include, for example, working with mining and forestry industries to gain co-contributions or applying for Australian Government funding. Councils are also encouraged to leverage funding from other NSW Government programs to maximise community benefts from the project.

There is no limit to how many applications each applicant can submit; however applicants are advised to prioritise and put forward their most strategically important projects.

Forestry roads

The NSW Government is aware of the concerns of a number of councils regarding the unique challenges maintaining roads in LGAs with large areas of State Forest. In response to these concerns, a proportion of funding from the total allocation will be allocated specifcally for roads in forestry areas.

Payment and reporting milestones

Payments will be made to councils at the start and end of the project to support councils to deliver the project, on time and within budget.

Councils will be required to report on the planning, progress and completion of projects and provide supporting information. Final payment will be made upon satisfactory project completion and receipt by Transport for NSW of a fnal project report.

Notes: 1. State Roads are not included in this classifcation as the trafcked lanes are under the care control and management of

RMS. Associated facilities (e.g. kerb & gutter, footpath, street furniture etc. which are owned and managed by councils will be included in other asset classes).

2. Classifcation of a road is based on its function. Absolute assessment against any one of the above criteria alone is to be avoided.

3. The assessment parameters in the above table are to provide guidance only. Assessment of a road should take a holistic view of its function and importance to the local community.

4. Levels of service are not intrinsically linked to the road hierarchy. Levels of service are determined by council following consultation with the local community and may vary across categories.
