INFRA 03 - B DOUBLE REPORT

SUNCHIP GROUP – JOURNEY ID IJQB-5 VERSION 7

Responsible Officer: Mr Trevor Harvey – Acting General Manager Engineering & Environmental Services Report prepared by: Mr Warren Paulger – Consultant Engineer

1 PURPOSE OF REPORT This report recommends a response for Council’s consideration to respond to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) in relation to a B-Double permit application, seeking to utilise 19m B-Double vehicles carrying (50t – 55t) of logs. 2 INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND This report, in response to application NHVR Consent Request Number 113700 received by Council on 23 August 2017. The application is to consider the suitability of the road for 19m B-Double combinations that carrying log to a load capacity of 50 – 55 tonnes along Fireclay Road between Kalpowar Road and the forestry are (2.95km along Fireclay Road). Kalpowar Road is part of the declared state network under the management of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). This report considers the Council road infrastructure only. Issues with the routes impact and intersections onto TMR infrastructure are reviewed separately by TMR.

3 CORPORATE PLAN Theme 1: Our Productive Region

1.8 Improving transport routes for product and produce 1.8.1 Work with industry. Facilitate discussions with the heavy vehicle sector to map current and future networks and needs 1.8.2 Work with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) on improving effectiveness of the heavy vehicle system


None identified at this time.


While not a statutory requirement, this B-Double Route assessment has been evaluated and reported by an experience local government engineer holding registration under the Professional Engineers Act, Qld. The assessment was undertaken with reference to the following documents

National Heavy Vehicle Law,

NHVR Approved Guidelines for Granting Access (February 2014),

NHVR Access Conditions (March 2016),

NHVR/NTC Performance-Based Standards Scheme – Network

Classification Guidelines (June 2007),

NHVR/NTC Interim PBS Road Classification Guidelines, 25

Austroads Guidelines for Assessing Heavy Vehicle Access to Local

Roads, and

TMR Multi-combination guideline.

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

In general terms, the expansion of B-Double route access across the North Burnett Regional Council can have a financial implication on Council’s operational budget, given the warrant to maintain these roads to a higher level of safety and maintenance than would otherwise warrant. However in this circumstance, the proposed vehicle shall not have any additional axle group loadings, or have different travel characteristics to general as-of-right heavy vehicles (see discussion in Section 10 below).

7 RISK MANAGEMENT

Section 156 (Subsection 3) of the Heavy Vehicle National Law, namely (highlighting added by author) nominates the following assessment requirements:

(3) The road manager may decide not to give the consent only if the road manager is satisfied—

(a) the mass or dimension authority will, or is likely to— (i) cause damage to road infrastructure; or (ii) impose adverse effects on the community arising from noise, emissions or traffic congestion or from other matters stated in approved guidelines; or (iii) pose significant risks to public safety arising from heavy vehicle use that is incompatible with road infrastructure or traffic conditions; and

(b) it is not possible to grant the authority subject to road conditions or travel conditions that will avoid, or significantly minimise —

(i) the damage or likely damage; or (ii) the adverse effects or likely adverse effects; or (iii) the significant risks or likely significant risks.

Legal advice received indicates that “significant risk’ relates to a significant risk associated with the route use by the Level 2 PBS vehicle either the probability or consequence. If there is not a ‘significant’ risk, and other criteria are met, the route should be approved, with or without conditions. The focus of any B-Double route assessment is based on suitability of the route for the vehicle combination and safety for all road users. This can be evidenced by insufficient sight distances, horizontal and vertical alignment (sharp curves, stopping capacity and traction), structures, cross falls etc. Also a consideration is the impact on the existing infrastructure and pavements. The vertical loadings per axle / axle group are no greater than other semi-trailers but the impact of the drive axles pulling the additional load can be detrimental to the pavements. This is particularly a concern where the vehicle is pulling up steep grades on unsealed pavements. With general ‘as-of-right’ traffic, the driver accepts responsibility for ensuring the road is suitable for usage. Council undertakes development and maintenance of the roads having due regard for their corporate plan and budget considerations. 26

At no time does Council provide any assurance as to the condition of the road for any component of this traffic. However, in these permit applications, Council is receiving an assessment report and then endorsing or not endorsing the route as being acceptable / unacceptable for the PBS vehicles. With any acceptance, there would be a moral and likely legal expectation or responsibility that Council maintain the route suitable for these vehicles.

8 CONSULTATION There has been no consultation with the applicant or the community in relation to this particular application. The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator will be advised of Council’s position on the application who will then consider all responses and make a determination regarding the application.

9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER Receive the report and consider the recommendation for adoption.

10 OFFICER’S COMMENT / CONCLUSION

Vehicle Configuration The application is for a 19m B-Double operating with loads up to 55 tonnes. A 19m B-Double operating up to 55 tonnes is an as-of-right vehicle that would require no application of approval. The reason this application is made is to allow the operator to carry up to 55 tonnes. The individual maximum axle-group loads are not altered but the restrictions on the loadings of multiple groups is reduced. The risks for council’s infrastructure are associated with:

the additional effort required on the drive axles to haul the additional load, and

the impact on any long-span structures.

Route Conditions Fireclay Road (Kalpowar Road – forestry) While the segment of road has not been inspected by the writer, its condition has been assessed with online data and discussed with Council’s Supervisor to ensure there are no long span bridges or unusual components on this road segment. The road alignment is not considered an issue as the 19m configuration vehicle can travel the road now (with 50t loading) and the vehicle handling and swept paths are no more than a standard semi-trailer. The road is similar to other lower order rural roads across the North Burnett and these typically cope with the maximum 16.5 tonne dual axle group loading. While there will be some additional pavement stress associated with the drive axles pulling the additional loading, the impact of the additional 5 tonnes and the limited lengths of higher grades is considered to be marginal in this instance. The approval of use of Fireclay Road for a 19m B-Double combination with loading up to 55 tonnes is therefore considered to have minimal, if any, impact on network operating safety or risk to the infrastructure.

TMR Route components Issues associated with Kalpowar Road intersection at Fireclay Road are issues for consideration by Transport and Main Roads, as the road managers for Kalpowar Road.

27

Upgrading Considerations Having regard for the above assessment, there are no recommendations for upgrades to allow this application to proceed.

Options for Conditions Council has three standard conditions for consideration as follows:

a) A maximum speed limit of 60kph is to be observed by B-Double transports along the route, except where official traffic signs indicate a lower speed, and

b) use of this route by B-Double transports, parts of which are used as a school bus route, is to be restricted to outside the hours of 7.30am to 9.00am and 2.30pm to 5.00pm on school days

c) the operation of B-Double transports on these roads is to be suspended in the event of rainfall of 20mm or more being received in the area. Such access is to be restricted until such time as the road pavements and gullies dry sufficiently to prevent damage to the road surface by B-Doubles using the road.

There is no evidence that the route is a school bus route. Therefore only the standard conditions regarding maximum speed limit and wet weather operation remain applicable to an approval.

11 ATTACHMENTS None 12 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator be advised that, under the National Heavy Vehicle Legislation, Council endorses approval of the permit application of Sunchip Group Pty Ltd (Journey ID IJQB-5 v7) for 19 metre B-Double vehicles (50 – 55 tonne) used for log transport on

Fireclay Road from Kalpowar Rd to forestry (2.95km) subject to the following condition:

a) A maximum speed limit of 60kph is to be observed by B-Double transports along the route, except where official traffic signs indicate a lower speed, and

b) the operation of B-Double transports on these roads is to be suspended in the event of rainfall of 20mm or more being received in the area. Such access is to be restricted until such time as the road pavements and gullies dry sufficiently to prevent damage to the road surface by B-Doubles using the road.

4. POLICY IMPLICATIONS

Nil – Supplement to General Policy – Register of Roads

5. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

Local Governments are required to keep an up to date register and map of roads in their areas (Section 74, Local Government Act 2009). The register and map are to be open to public inspection.

6. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The financial implication for the approval of the Road Register will be that the necessary funding allocation / planning for future road maintenance can be determined, planned and budgeted.

7. RISK MANAGEMENT

Utilising the following Risk Rating matrix and the process outlined in Council’s Risk Management Strategy for the listed categories, High risk was identified in the Financial category.

29

This “worst/most likely” case, relates to the inefficient and ineffective usage of Council funds, most likely due to funds being spent in other areas than where they are meant to be targeted.

POLICY REVIEW – CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS TO ACCESS

PROPERTY AND REGISTER OF ROADS

Responsible Officer: Trevor Harvey – Acting General Manager Engineering and Environmental Services

Reports prepared by: Simon O’Brien – Works Engineer

1 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to present two Policies to Council which define the extent of

the road register including the process for modification to the register, and the Council

standards for response to requests for construction of new or upgraded access to rural

properties.

2 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

The Council Road Asset Management Plan (Adopted 2011) classified the roads on register

at the time into Austroads predefined categories. This Plan (now due for replacement) does

not give staff guidance when faced with requests for road extensions or upgrades. A consist

staff response to these requests is attempted however there is no adopted policy under

which any decision is given.

The proposed policies will assist staff in responding to requests as well as assisting elected

members respond in a timely manner to their ratepayer requests.

3 CORPORATE/OPERATIONAL PLAN

In accordance with the NBRC Corporate Plan 2017 – 2022 the following Themes are

addressed in the report attachments

1.2 Safe, well maintained and effective local road network

1.8 Improving transport routes for product and produce

2.4 Increase public transportation options

5.2 Asset Management


All relevant NBRC Policies are adhered to where applicable.


All relevant Standards and Codes are applied where required.

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Council funds designated for road infrastructure shall only be expended on roads and sections of

roads included in the Register.

39

7 RISK MANAGEMENT

Setting of policies is a good risk management tool as firstly it sets the guidelines for actions by

Council Officers. Secondly Council policies are available to the public and therefore the public can

be aware of the policies and rules in which Council conducts business.

8 CONSULTATION

Unknown.

9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER

Consider the two (2) reports and accept, reject or amend recommendations.

10 OFFICER’S COMMENTS/CONCLUSION

It is understood that policies of this nature need reviewing frequently. Approval of the

proposed policies will give staff immediate direction while performance of the polices are

reviewed.

11 ATTACHMENTS

General Policy – Construction of Roads for Access to Property

VERSION MEETING APPROVED MEETING DATE HISTORY

1 Policy & Planning Meeting Bi-Annual Review

Authorities: Local Government Act 2009 Local Government Regulations 2012

1. BACKGROUND AND PRINCIPLES

The Local Government Act 2009 (The Act) gives North Burnett Regional Council control of all local roads in its Local Government area.

This control includes being able to:

(a) survey and resurvey roads; and (b) construct, maintain and improve roads; and (c) approve the naming and numbering of private roads; and (d) name and number other roads; and (e) make a local law to regulate the use of roads.

The purpose of this policy is to define the extent of capital improvement and / or maintenance Council provides in relation to access to properties on gazetted roads, whether they are unmade, unformed or formed only.

This policy sets out Council's response to requests to construct new, extend or upgrade roads on road reserves or close roads under the care and control of Council, where the road, or section of road, is not on the road register and typically no constructed of formed road currently exists.

General Policy

41

2. SCOPE

This policy applies to the North Burnett Regional Council area. This policy does not apply to vehicular accesses (driveways) from the road to the property boundary, as the property owner is responsible for the construction and maintenance of such accesses. To be clear this policy does not apply to new road reserves created by the reconfiguration of existing lots in accordance with a Council approved Development Application. 3. POLICY OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this policy are to clearly articulate that Council:

1. is under no obligation to construct a road or pavement; 2. is under no obligation to extend the length of an existing road; 3. is under no obligation to upgrade the level of service or hierarchy class of

an existing road;

And to:

(a) establish the basis and process for staff to deal with requests to construct new, lengthen existing and/or upgrade the level of service of roads;

(b) ensure that there is a process that ensures all requests to construct new, lengthen existing and/or upgrade the level of service of roads are dealt with in a consistent, transparent and equitable manner;

(c) ensure that there is a fair and transparent process in place for the improvement of formed, unformed and unmade roads.

4. POLICY STATEMENT

4.1 Council’s Road Register (“the Register”) sets out the extent of Council’s maintenance responsibility.

4.2 The Register is intended to be used by all internal and external operational staff to ensure works are done within the limits set out in the Register.

4.3 Roads listed on the adopted road register are roads that are currently maintained, to differing extents, by Council. Road extensions beyond the Council’s mapped road register will not be maintained by Council.

4.4 Roads on this register are considered public roads open to the public for access, as stated in the Act.

42

4.5 Roads on this register have been categorised according to surface and further categorised by function.

4.6 Council funds designated for road infrastructure shall only be expended on

roads and sections of roads included in the Register.

4.7 Roads can only be added to or removed from the register upon a Council resolution. In determining a revision to its register, Council may have regard to the following:-

(a) the extent of public use of the road proposed to be added/removed;

(b) the public benefit that would result from the addition/removal of the proposed road; and

(c) via addition of a road to the register, the cost of upgrading the gazetted road to a standard suited to general public use and ongoing maintenance.

4.8 The Register shall be maintained and updated by the Strategic Asset

Management Unit. The Register is a working document and the Strategic Asset Management Unit shall update the Register from time to time following a Council resolution to add or remove maintenance responsibility from a particular part of the road network.

4.9 All amendments to the Register shall be referenced to a supporting Council

resolution.

4.10 The Manager Technical Services shall provide details of any amendments to various working copies of the register held throughout the organisation.

5. DEFINITIONS

The Local Government Act 2009 Section 59 defines:

(2) A road is- a) an area of land that is dedicated to public use as a road; or

b) an area of land that- i. is developed for, or has a 1 of its main uses, the driving or

riding of motor vehicles; and

ii. is open to, or used by, the public; or

c) a footpath or bicycle path; or

d) a bridge, culvert, ferry, ford, punt, tunnel or viaduct.

(3) However, a road does not include-

43

a) a State-controlled road; or

b) a public thoroughfare easement.

Dedicated Road An area of land dedicated to public use as a road, but does not include a State-controlled road under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994.

Formed Road A gazetted road reserve that does not have gravel paving but which is formed using a grader so that stormwater will drain off laterally. Unformed Road A gazetted road reserve that has been cleared and open to, and customarily used by the public. Unmade Road A gazetted road reserve that has had no capital improvements including clearing, formation and gravel paving. Notwithstanding, an unmade road may be trafficable or un-trafficable in all weathers. 6. POLICY DETAILS

There is no legal obligation on the Council to undertake capital improvements on unmade, unformed, or formed roads within a gazetted road reserve for the purpose of access by the land owner to their land.

Thus, Council will not undertake capital improvements to unmade, unformed, or formed roads except where a benefit to the community can be demonstrated. Community benefit, and thus any work, is to be determined by a specific Council resolution. 6.1 ADDITIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO ROAD REGISTER 6.1.1 Approved Roadwork

Council may consider accepting sections of road onto its road register for ongoing control and maintenance subject to the conditions outlined in this policy. Subject to those conditions being achieved, Council will continue to maintain the road to a standard set by resource and budgetary constraints applicable within each financial year in accordance with Council’s Strategic Asset Management Plan. 6.1.2 Property Access

It is Council’s intention to provide one maintained road access to all properties with occupied dwellings within the council area. Such access will only be provided to the first entrance of the last property along a road. Adjoining parcels of land, which Council believes form one operational property unit, are considered to be one property, notwithstanding the number of lots, the nature of tenure or that title may be held in differing names.

Council will not maintain a road past the access to a property unless such road is a through road utilised by bona fide through traffic or provides access to an occupied

44

dwelling of a property or properties held by another landholder which are not operated as part of the first property. Notwithstanding, Council may continue provision of an existing access where a landholder has purchased and incorporated a neighbouring property into his current property operations provided the landholder continues to make sufficient use of such access to warrant continued provision. 6.1.3 Development Applications

With regards to new subdivisions, reconfiguration of allotments or material change of use, the applicant of the development application is responsible for construction of all new roads to the standard required by Council and for upgrading of existing roads in order to cope with any significant increase in traffic volume or tonnage, in accordance with the Development Approval process. 6.2 Preservation of Existing Network

In order to continue to maintain and upgrade the existing road network without an overall reduction in standards due to insufficient funds to provide an extended service, Council will preserve the current road lengths as established in the road register and in accordance with Council’s Strategic Asset Management Plan. Council will not incorporate any additional roads or sections of roads unless sufficient funds are available. 6.3 Approved Roadwork – Roads Funded by Others

Should a landowner require access via an unmade, unformed or formed road, Council may allow that the landowner to upgrade the road access at their own cost. Where it can be demonstrated that there may be benefit to the community or that more than one landowner may benefit from the construction of the access; Council may enter into negotiations with the applicant/s to determine the value, if any, of Council contribution to the works. The outcome of any negotiations would be subject to acceptance by Council through a specific resolution. Where Council receives a written request in relation to:

Clearing of road reserves and creation of access to properties;

Construction of roads within the road reserve; Capital improvements to unmade, unformed, or formed roads; Maintenance of an existing road / access track which is not contained in

Council’s road register and has not been maintained by Council; the following road standards will apply. 6.4 Road Standards 6.4.1 Clearing

Clearing of trees and access works on road reserves and any approvals required are issued by the relevant Government Department after consultation with

45

Council. Council reserves the right to refuse/object to clearing applications dependent on issues which may arise.

Council does not object to the Department issuing approvals for clearing or minor earthworks for purposes of vehicular access to a property along a road reserve, provided that the Department is satisfied the works are necessary and restricted to the minimum amount practical. No maintenance responsibilities or legal liabilities are accepted by Council.

Where clearing occurs without approval Council may seek restitution of damages generated if deemed necessary.

6.4.2 Public Liability

Proponents of such works are to be required to extend their property public liability coverage over the section of ‘private’ access roadway constructed within the road reserve. 6.5 Roadwork Carried out on the Road Reserve without Council Approval

6.5.1 Council does not condone or accept any responsibility for any work carried out on a road reserve under the care and control of Council, without its written approval and permission.

6.5.2 The section of roadway upon which unauthorised work has been undertaken will not be maintained or improved in any manner by Council and Council may remove or render impassable, the road section if a safety risk to the public or the environment has been established by the Chief Executive Officer (or delegate), at the cost of the proponent.

6.5.3 Similarly Council may seek restitution of damages generated by works undertaken without approval. Action under Chapter 3, Part 3, Section 75 of the Local Government Act 2009 may result.

6.5.4 No maintenance or legal liabilities are accepted by Council for works approved by other authorities, i.e. clearing. 6.6 Approved Roadwork – Addition to Road Register

6.6.1 Council may consider accepting sections of road onto its road register for ongoing control and maintenance subject to the following conditions being met by the applicant:

(a) That a registered surveyor be engaged at the applicant’s cost to prepare a survey plan, to ensure the existing or proposed roadway will be contained fully within the existing road reserve and not generate any encroachments or off alignment issues. This plan must be presented to and be approved by Council prior to any physical works being undertaken.

46

(b) The road is constructed in accordance with standards set by Council. All costs for such works shall be required to be borne by the applicant.

(c) Following completion of works to the required standards, it will be the applicant’s responsibility to engage a Registered Surveyor to prepare an ‘as constructed’ plan of the road section reflecting constructed cross sections and levels for lodgement with Council. Upon acceptance of the work and receipt of the ‘as constructed’ plan, Council’s Road Register will be amended to reflect the addition of the road and the maintenance status of the new work.

Subject to the above conditions being achieved, Council will continue to maintain the road to a standard set by resource and budgetary constraints applicable within each financial year, in accordance with Council’s Strategic Road Asset Management Plan. 6.6.2 Completion of Road Construction

(a) Following acceptance of the project costs, negotiations can be undertaken with Council as to the method of delivery of the works, by contract or Council, and required materials and pavement and construction specifications required.

(b) Should the applicant request that Council undertake the works, following

provision of survey data, Council will prepare a cost estimate to construct the roadway to Council’s required standards. This information shall be transferred to the applicant/s who will be required to formally agree to accept responsibility for these costs. Alternatively, subject to Council approval, the applicant can arrange for a suitably qualified contractor to undertake the works to Council’s standards, on the basis that Council undertake supervision of the works with the cost of such supervision being at the cost of the applicant.

6.7 Approved Roadwork – Roads Maintained by Others

6.7.1 Council may give consideration to the approval of works to construct a road or track which provides access to a limited number of properties or to one predominant user.

6.7.2 Where it is determined that the constructed access / track provides benefit to one predominant user and / or limited benefit to the public through minimal or occasional use, the road will not be maintained by Council.

6.7.3 Where roadwork is to be undertaken to construct a road that will not be maintained by Council, the constructed road will not be included in Council’s Road Register.

Policy Title: Register of Roads Policy No: Directorate: Engineering and Environmental Services Responsible Officer: General Manager – Engineering and Environmental Services Adopted Date: Policy & Planning Meeting – Review Date: 03/05/2019

VERSION MEETING APPROVED MEETING DATE HISTORY

1 Policy & Planning Meeting Bi-Annual Review

Authorities: Local Government Act 2009 Local Government Regulations 2012

1. BACKGROUND AND PRINCIPLES

The gazetted road network far exceeds the length of roads that Council undertakes to maintain and upkeep for public use as the limited amount of funding available to Council means that it is not possible, nor feasible to construct and maintain roads in all gazetted road reserves. Local Governments are required to keep an up to date register and map of roads in their areas (Section 74, Local Government Act 2009). The register and map are to be open to public inspection. 2. SCOPE

This policy applies to the North Burnett Regional Council area. 3. POLICY OBJECTIVES

The objective of this policy is to clearly set out the extent of Council’s maintenance undertaking so that:

Council staff know which roads and the extent of such that they are responsible for;

the public know which roads Council undertakes to maintain;

Council officers and the public can readily access up to date data regarding Council’s road network; and

the necessary funding allocation/planning for future road maintenance can be determined.

General Policy

4. POLICY STATEMENT

4.1 Council’s Road Register (“the Register”) sets out the extent of Council’s maintenance responsibility.

4.2 The Register is intended to be used by all internal and external operational staff to ensure works are done within the limits set out in the Register.

4.3 Roads listed on the adopted road register are roads that are currently maintained, to differing extents, by Council. Road extensions beyond the Council’s mapped road register will not be maintained by Council.

4.4 Roads on this register are considered public roads open to the public for access, as stated in the Act.

4.7 Roads can only be added to or removed from the register upon a Council resolution. In determining a revision to its register, Council may have regard to the following:-

(a) the extent of public use of the road proposed to be added/removed;

(b) the public benefit that would result from the addition/removal of the proposed road; and

(c) via addition of a road to the register, the cost of upgrading the gazetted road to a standard suited to general public use and ongoing maintenance.

4.8 The Register shall be maintained and updated by the Strategic Asset

Management Unit. The Register is a working document and the Strategic Asset Management Unit shall update the Register from time to time following a Council resolution to add or remove maintenance responsibility from a particular part of the road network.

4.9 All amendments to the Register shall be referenced to a supporting Council

resolution.

4.10 The Manager Technical Services shall provide details of any amendments to various working copies of the register held throughout the organisation.

3.6 ADDITIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO ROAD REGISTER

3.6.1 Approved Roadwork Council may consider accepting sections of road onto its road register for ongoing control and maintenance subject to the conditions outlined in this policy.

50

Subject to those conditions being achieved, Council will continue to maintain the road to a standard set by resource and budgetary constraints applicable within each financial year in accordance with Council Asset Management Planning. 3.6.2 Property Access It is Council’s intention to provide one road access to all properties within the shire (excluding any tenements granted under the Mineral Resources Act 1989, the Petroleum Act 1923, and the Petroleum and Gas Act 2004). Adjoining parcels of land, which Council believes form one operational property unit, are considered to be one property, notwithstanding the number of lots, the nature of tenure or that title may be held in differing names. Council will not maintain a road past the access to a property unless such road is a through road utilised by bona fide through traffic (such as mail roads) or provides access to a property or properties held by another landholder which are not operated as part of the first property. Notwithstanding, Council may continue provision of an existing access where a landholder has purchased and incorporated a neighbouring property into his current property operations provided the landholder continues to make sufficient use of such access to warrant continued provision. 3.6.3 Development Applications With regards to new subdivisions, reconfiguration of allotments or material change of use, the applicant of the development application is responsible for construction of all new roads to the standard required by Council and for upgrading of existing roads in order to cope with any significant increase in traffic volume or tonnage. 3.6.4 Division and Disposal of Part of a Property Where a landholder sells or otherwise disposes of part of a property without a development application by utilising existing separate titles, Council is not obliged to provide additional roads or property access from a current or new road. In the event of the landholder requiring the additional road or access and subject to agreement from Council, the landholder is required to contribute 50% of the cost to provide such new road or access. Any such extension is to be constructed to the standard required by Council. The project would, on completion, become the property of Council and be incorporated in the road register. 3.6.5 Preservation of Existing Network Subject to the above, in order to continue to maintain and upgrade the existing road network without an overall reduction in standards due to insufficient funds to provide an extended service, Council will preserve the current road lengths as established in the road register in accordance with the Transport Services Asset Management Plan. Council will not incorporate any additional roads or sections of roads unless sufficient funds are available. Council will endeavour to provide a maintenance grade to each road within the Quilpie Shire once per annum, providing funding and resources are available.

5. DEFINITIONS

The Local Government Act 2009 Section 59 defines:

(2) A road is- a) an area of land that is dedicated to public use as a road; or

b) an area of land that- i. is developed for, or has a 1 of its main uses, the driving or

riding of motor vehicles; and

ii. is open to, or used by, the public; or

51

c) a footpath or bicycle path; or

d) a bridge, culvert, ferry, ford, punt, tunnel or viaduct.

(3) However, a road does not include-

a) a State-controlled road; or

b) a public thoroughfare easement.

Dedicated Road An area of land dedicated to public use as a road, but does not include a State-controlled road under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994.

Urban developed area which may comprise densely developed uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, education, recreation or a mix of these. In general, this is characterised by evenly spaced street lighting, kerbed streets, and frequent closely spaced driveways. This will also include land designated for future urban development. Rural sparsely developed area which may comprise rural development, rural residential lots greater than 1ha and isolated industrial sites. In general this is characterised by unkerbed streets, both sealed and unsealed roads, infrequent driveways and large tracts of undeveloped land. 6. POLICY DETAILS

6.1. Categorisation of Roads by Surface

In accordance with the Act, roads on the register will be categorized according to surface. The following categories will apply:

Sealed,

Unsealed and

Sealed/Unsealed for roads on which both surfaces are present.

6.2. Hierarchical Classification

The hierarchy principles of road classification provide a means of classifying a roadway according to its purpose, function and management. The concept of the hierarchy of roadways is used to define the main functional objectives of each roadway type, which can then form the basis of ongoing planning and system management, aimed at reducing the mix of incompatible functions and maximising the role of roadways in the network.

52

Setting a road classification system provides guidance when considering the standard of maintenance and upgrading work on a particular road. It allows consistent standards to be applied across the region and ensures that the greatest value for money is attained. It is intended that this process be carried out in a network sense, as it is imperative that corridor continuity be considered. Classification of existing roadways should support future amendments to the hierarchy and the associated changes in performance criteria. To accommodate the different needs in urban and rural areas, each planning area has been considered separately. The road hierarchy for North Burnett Regional Council is based on the Austroads functional hierarchy.

Austroads Classification

Description

Function

1 Highway National & state highways; high speed, high volume routes; motorways

2 Main Road State strategic Roads

3 Rural Arterial State regional roads & high order local government roads

4 Rural Collector High order local government roads

5 Rural Access Low order local government roads

6 Urban Arterial State strategic and/or regional roads, high order local government roads

7 Urban Sub-Arterial State regional roads, significant local government road links in urban areas

8 Urban Collector Local government collector roads

9 Urban Access Local government local residential streets

6.2.1 Rural Road Classification

The five (5) functional classifications for rural roads under the control of North Burnett Regional Council are:

Rural Arterial

Rural Collector

Rural Access

Minor Access

53

Unformed Tracks Roads classified as National Highways or Declared State Roads do not come under local government authority. The function of each of these classifications is: Arterial Road is the highest order of road. The primary objective of arterial roads is to provide major through routes for traffic. All longer distance traffic movements should be directed onto the arterial roads. Arterial roads should form a principal connection between major regional centre’s and towns in rural areas. It is recognized that arterial roads will have direct property access. On arterial roads the priority is to provide efficient traffic flow through increased speed and capacity.

A Collector Road’s primary purpose is for the collecting and distributing traffic from local access roads to the arterial and declared state road network.

Access roads provide access from properties through to a higher order road.

Minor access roads are roads that are used infrequently by the public that may provide access to a single property. An unformed track is a road that has not been formed or improved. The above categories relate to the function of a road within the road network and may not, in all instances, reflect the actual volume of traffic on the road. When attributing a functional classification to a road the importance of the road within the hierarchy should be the guiding consideration. 6.2.2 Urban Street Classification

The function of urban streets can be categorised by both the zone within which they are placed – residential, commercial or industrial – and their relative position in a hierarchy within that zone. The adopted classifications, which consider both the purpose and hierarchical function, for urban streets under the control of North Burnett Regional Council are:

Trunk Collector

54

Urban Collector – Major

Urban Collector – Minor

Access Street

Access Place

Commercial

Industrial Collector

Industrial Access

The function of each of these classifications is:

Trunk Collector Street has almost no frontage to residences, parking is discouraged and the main function is the conveyance of traffic through a town. A Major Urban Collector has a main function of traffic conveyance. High density residential amenity and non-residential amenity is on this street. Minor Urban Collector streets connect major roads. Traffic speeds and volumes are restricted to increase safety and residential amenity.

Access Street, the next order, is still mainly focused on providing residential space amenity however it allows more vehicular movement, usually the connecting street of an access place.

Access Place is the lowest order street and its main function is residential space, vehicular movement is somewhat restricted in this area.

Commercial streets contained within the central business district. Provisions are made for parking and pedestrians.

Industrial Collector connects major roads to the industrial access space.

Industrial Access, provisions are made for large vehicle access. 6.3 Update and Review

6.3.1 The road register will be updated on an annual basis to reflect any changes to road categorisation by surface type or by classification. Additional roads approved and accepted by Council, will be added to the register at this time.

55

6.3.2 The register will be reviewed on an annual basis prior to the budget deliberations of Council.

6.3.3 Following review and updating the register will be reissued with the addition of the details of the Council resolution through which it has been endorsed as the road register for North Burnett Regional Council. 6.4 Appeals and Amendments

6.4.1 The road register will be available for public review and comment at all times.

6.4.2 Should it be considered that a road has been incorrectly categorised or classified a request for review or revision of the category or classification should be made in writing to the Chief Executive Officer. The applicant must provide details of the data considered to be in error or requiring review, proposed amendment and justification for the amendment.

6.4.3 Following receipt of a request for review or amendment a council officer will inspect the nominated road and provide a recommendation to Council for consideration. Should the amendment be endorsed by Council an addendum, detailing the accepted change and resolution number, will be added to the published road register and maps.

6.4.4 The accepted change will not be included in the register until the time of the annual review and update.

6.5 Addition to Road Register 6.5.1 Approved Roadwork

Council may consider accepting sections of road onto its road register for ongoing control and maintenance subject to the conditions detailed in Section 4.3 of Council Policy: Construction of Roads for Access to Property; being met by the applicant. Subject to the above conditions being achieved, Council will continue to maintain the road to a standard set by resource and budgetary constraints applicable within each financial year in accordance with Council Strategic Asset Management Planning. 6.5.2 Approved Roadwork – Roads Maintained by Others

Where a road is constructed that will not be maintained by Council, the constructed road will not be included in Council’s Road Register. 6.5.3 Development Works on Road Reserve

Roads constructed through the application of Development Application and Operational Works procedures will be accepted onto the road register for ongoing control and maintenance following acceptance of the road as off-maintenance by an authorised Council Officer. 6.5.4 Unapproved Roadworks

Roads constructed without the written approval of Council will not be included in Council’s road register and will not be included in Council’s regular road maintenance and renewal programs.

56

6.6 Documentation

In accordance with Section 74 (4) of the Act, on application and payment of a fee, a person may obtain: a. a copy of a map or register of roads; or

b. a signed certificate about: i. the category, alignment and levels of roads; or

ii. the fact that the alignment or level of a road in its area has not been fixed. 6.7 Fees and Charges

The fees will be as determined by Council as part of annual budget deliberations. 7 Special Provisions (e.g. Privacy Provisions etc)

Example of GAT Traps:

About the GAT Trap: The BG-GAT (Gravid Aedes Trap) was developed by Dr.A.E.Eiras from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil and Dr S.A. Ritchie from James Cook University, Cairns, Queensland 4870, Australia. The BG GAT is designed to capture adult female container-exploiting mosquitoes and does not require a power source. Knock-down surface spray, or the optional blue LINNs, can be used to reduce the potential for escape of adult mosquitoes once trapped. Council has also purchased six of the new BG Sentinel II Traps. These will be set in November in various locations around the region. About the BG Sentinel II Trap: The BG Sentinel trap has been specifically designed to be especially attractive for Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti, and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus. Used in conjunction with various attractants it is also highly effective for a range of other species.

6.0 Waste Education Activities

Environmental Health staff recently attended an RADF funded trip to Reverse Garbage Queensland with the Community Development team and members of the community. Some of the key components of this project included:

Waste education – for children, parents and educators – informing our communities about what happens to the waste we create, some of the environmental challenges this presents and how we can reduce the waste we produce;

Recycle/Upcycle education – for children, parents, artists and educators – providing information and workshops to our communities about how “one person’s waste can be another person’s treasure”. The provision of theoretical and practical workshops so that people can participate and learn how this may be applied in everyday life. These workshops could take place in our schools and/or in the broader community (eg QCWA halls, libraries etc);

Engagement with Natural Resource Management Groups;

Inclusion of traditionally non-Arts sectors – engagement with other trade professionals (such as welders, mechanics etc) and Men’s Shed groups on how to use their skills in a creative and artistic manner using recycled/scrap materials.

Environmental Services will continue to work with the Community Development Department on this project.

Property Inspection “Biosecurity Program” and Weed Management A new property inspection “Biosecurity Program” that operates under the Biosecurity Act 2014 was adopted by Council on the 15/2/17. The latest media alerts as to Land Protection Officers intention to enter and inspect properties have been issued in the CNBTimes. NBRC’s LPOs continue to engage and work with the community to manage invasive weed pests. This engagement and participation includes both customer service requests and property inspections. Mother of Millions continues to be our main focus currently while conditions remain dry. LPOs have been involved in a number of service requests in relation to reported outbreaks of invasive weeds including inspections and spraying. These requests along with Biosecurity program property inspections carried out over August have resulted in:

Bio-control Facility – Monto NBRC has been working in conjunction with the Burnett Catchment Care Association, Monto

Landcare and Monto State High School to resurrect the Bio-control facility on the school grounds.

Bio-control facility at Monto High School with their new shade cloth covers.

Due to ongoing illness amongst staff and students and going into school holidays, no further

progress has been made since last month. The School is to clean out the facility, removing all the old

pots and soil which will then allow us to set up irrigation and benches and begin further Cats Claw

Creeper propagation.

The project really does need more time and guidance injected into it and should become a priority.

Bio-control – Parthenium LPO Glenn Proctor has been working with a team from the Dept. of Agriculture and Fisheries as part

of their Invasive plant and animal research to release and monitor Bio-control agents for

Parthenium.

Some known pockets of Parthenium in the Monto, Mundubbera and Biggenden area were inspected on the 21st and 22nd July along with DAF Entomologist, Jason Callander, to assess their suitability for release of Biocontrol agents in Spring/early Summer. Previous releases by Jason and LPO Glenn Proctor have resulted in establishment of stem galling moth (Epiblema strenuana) and seed feeding weevil (Smicronyx lutelentus) establishing in some areas.

of 6

It is hoped that establishing Bio-control agents in the field will contribute to the overall management

of Parthenium, especially in areas where other control measures such as chemicals are limited due

to access.

Jason identified further sites for release during his visit in July and will be returning in October with

some more insects and rust diseases.

Wild Dog / Dingo Management The next large-scale baiting effort will be in the 2nd week of October when dogs are whelping. A letter containing an updated list of requirements that landholders need to abide by has been sent out to landholders that have participated in baiting programs in the past.

Advertising for the baiting program has begun in the CNBTimes.

Below is a table of Wild Dog / Dingo Management statistics for NBRC in August:

Other Feral Animals Management and Invasive Pests Management Feral Pigs Council has now introduced both a Feral Pig Policy and trial Feral Pig Bounty of $5 per snout and tail. Council has received numerous enquiries about how to claim the Bounty, including from persons residing within regions such as Brisbane, Bundaberg and Others. Some Feral Pig snouts and tails are being presented to Council by people claiming the Bounty. There hasn’t been a huge response to date (see Table below – Calendar Year for Pig Snouts).

Rabbits

A new strain of Calicivirus (RHDV1-K5) is available and Council has received some enquiries from

people interested in cleaning up localised populations.

The virus works better being released at the back end of Spring or Summer when there are flies

around and few kittens. Generally, only rabbits older than 12 weeks are susceptible to the virus.

Rabbits younger than 12 weeks that are infected are less likely to die than older rabbits. Young

rabbits that survive infection become immune adults. If you get in quick before kittens are born it

can work like a poison release but it won’t spread from the release site very well, hence the need for

flies as vectors. Come November/December LPO’s will work with Landholders to do successful

releases.

Flying-fox Management and Monitoring The colony in Mundubbera at the Billabong Motel has been increasing in size with the influx of some “Little Reds”. It is anticipated that dispersal activities will need to occur soon and preparations are being made. 3 Ultrason X devices are ordered and this may be a good site to trial them. Available in Australia, they have shown effectiveness against birds and bats for limited distances of 350m2. These devices use ultrasound which is inaudible to human and pets ears. They are suitable for outdoor use, reasonable cheap and set up as a set of 3 units facing different directions, should repel Flying Fox’s from buildings and certain feeding trees.

Koala Management and Monitoring On Friday 23rd June, Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital released a Koala back into Gayndah (had been hit

by a car in town). Although there is an acknowledgement that Koala’s and their habitat exist in the

area, there is a need to collate evidence of sightings, further surveys and improve mapping in the

North Burnett.

An interest group is forming between those keen to do something with mapping along the Burnett

River Rail trail, the Burnett College and Wildlife Rescue Carers etc. A meeting between stakeholders

took place on August 23rd at the Gayndah Supper Rooms.

At this stage Councils main contribution to this working group will be to increase the profile of Koalas and their potential habitat in the Nth Burnett and advertise correct procedure for reporting injured Koalas and existing mapping Apps where sightings can be uploaded. An updated list of contacts for reporting Injured wildlife and in particular Koalas will be supplied to the contact centre for use, particularly by those calling the after hours 1300 number when vets are not available.

Department of Transport and Mains Roads The 2017/18 Element 5 – Weed Management Contract for NBRC has been finalised and funds are allocated. Clarification has been sought by TMR about our road priorities for areas of African Love Grass, however, there is agreeance with the ranking of our other weed species.

Other projects and grant funding No current applications for grant funding are being sought.

Customer Service Requests and Equipment Hire for July

Wandering Livestock Reports Due to current dry conditions and Landholders running out of feed/sometimes overstocking, there has been an increase in complaints of livestock breaking through fences onto road reserves and neighbouring properties and has resulted in at least one known collision between a vehicle and a cow and calf (both animals deceased). Council is currently working on resolving the issue with 3 repeat offenders (2 in Monto, 1 in Kalpower). A compliance letter has now been issued to the Kalpower offender.

Kalpower Cattle.

Approval to Burn Letters The requests for Approval to Burn letters are increasing for not only Council Road Reserves but also Council Asset Reserves. Council Reserves are more difficult to manage as they are often larger areas, contain sensitive Ecosystems that require cool-burning mosaics, and also require Council to apply for

the Fire Permit as Landholders/Owners. Ultimately Council is also responsible if the fire gets out of control and causes damage beyond the reserve. We are currently relying heavily on QFES Rural Fire Service and Local Urban Auxiliary Brigades to conduct the burns on our behalf but there is also a need for Council Staff to back up these units with water trucks, graded firebreaks and sometimes staff with working knowledge of the Council Land if required and often this is outside of normal working hours. Due to the High Fire Danger warnings no further burns will be conducted by QFES until significant rain meaning there are still large unburnt areas of concern to residents (eg Gayndah Airport). This has highlighted the need for Council to develop a Fire Management Plan going into next burn season 2018.

Equipment Hire The ongoing intention in the future is to improve community awareness and utilisation of NRM Equipment that can help the community in managing their invasive species issues. Given that Council is hiring equipment to the community, Council will need to ensure that in future the equipment is of an appropriate condition/standard (i.e. covering public liability and community acceptance). Some of the equipment is aging and becoming less reliable, which warrants some replacement. Eidsvold’s spray unit has been repaired although some running issues have been identified and will

be addressed shortly. It is hoped the purchase of a Rapid-spray unit will alleviate these issues by

replacing one of the aging units on the vehicle and freeing it up as working hire unit.

A request for the purchase of a Rapid-spray unit is currently sitting with Management.

ENVIR 02 WASTE MANAGEMENT LOCAL LAW 10.2017

Responsible Officer: Trevor Harvey – Acting General Manager Engineering and Environmental Services

Report prepared by: Jeff Miles – Manager Environmental Services

1 PURPOSE OF REPORT The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information in relation to proposed changes to Queensland legislation that will impact upon local governments’ ability to control and regulate waste collection activities. 2 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Section 7 of the Waste Reduction and Recycling Regulation 2011 has a sunset clause that expires on 1 July 2018 that provides councils with the ‘head of power’ to designate waste collection areas. Chapter 5A of the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008 provides councils with the ability to conduct waste services. Removing the right for local governments to designate waste collection service areas will negatively impact on residents and councils’ existing waste strategies, operations and practices. A number of councils have commenced or completed the development of local laws as a substitute to both regulations. The Local Government Association of Queensland support this position following the Queensland Government’s intent enact the sunset clause contained in the regulations. It is necessary for Council to develop and introduce a local law on waste management prior to 1 July 2018. The Local Government Act 2009 provides that Council must ensure that its local laws are drafted in compliance with the guidelines issued by the Parliamentary Counsel under the Legislative Standards Act 1992. There is a long process to develop and introduce a local law. Time is of the essence and Council must commence the process now. A preliminary draft of the local law is attached for information. 3 CORPORATE/OPERATIONAL PLAN In accordance with: Outcome 5 – Our Efficient and Effective Council 5.5 Waste Management

5.5.1 North Burnett Regional Waste Management Strategy reviewed and implemented 5.5.2 Active partner with the WBBROC Regional Waste Management Strategy


Not applicable.

5 STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS Environmental Protection Regulation 2008, Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011, Local Government Act.

6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Failure to introduce a local law may result in lost economies of scale resulting in an increase waste management levy to residents unless subsidised by Council. In addition, contractual penalties may also be incurred until the end of the current waste collection contract. 7 RISK MANAGEMENT Without a legislative head of power to regulate waste management activities, potential risks include:

Reduced ability to control and regulate collection activities;

‘cherry picking’ of services by independent operators;

Loss of economies of scale;

Negative impacts on public health, safety and amenity;

Reduced certainty surrounding waste service numbers and volumes affecting contract negotiations;

Reduced ability to fund other council waste management activities; and

Loss of ability to effectively influence and drive local resource recovery and waste diversion.

8 CONSULTATION The development of a waste management local law follows a forum on the subject and recommendation by the Local Government Association of Queensland. 9 OPTIONS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER There is only one option which is to develop a local law on waste management. Given the risks and ongoing ambiguity regarding the regulations expiration, a number of councils have prudently commenced (or completed) the development of local laws as a substitute to both regulations. 10 OFFICER’S COMMENTS/CONCLUSION That Council resolve to develop and introduce a local law on waste management to replace Environmental Protection Regulation 2008, chapter 5A (Waste management by local governments). 11 ATTACHMENTS
