2011-12 COUNCIL WORKS PROGRAM FOURTH QUARTER REPORT

1. Overview

As forecast in the Third Quarter Report there has been considerable acceleration during the fourth quarter, which has delivered $48.3 million of work. The overall value of work completed in 2011-12 is $114.8 million compared to the annual plan of $130.5 million.

Significant milestones were achieved during the Fourth Quarter including the commencement of operations in Swanston Street between Bourke Street and Little Bourke Street, and the substantial completion of the tram stop between Collins Street and Flinders Lane. The final stage of the upgrade including the general upgrade of lighting, street furniture and planting, together with the accessible tram stop between A’Beckett Street and Franklin Street, is in train and is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2012-13.

The completion of the restoration of the heritage Boyd High School building as a Community Hub was publicly acknowledged at the official opening on 7 July 2012. The Hub provides a unique mix of public library, maternal and child health, family services, playgroup, meeting rooms, artists’ studios and a café. This has been very well received well by the community.

Other significant projects are proceeding steadily, despite site difficulties. These include Fitzroy Gardens Water Harvesting project which is now proceeding strongly and is expected to be completed in November 2012, at which time construction of the new Depot and Visitors Centre can commence on site.

The Carlton Baths and Family Resource Centre Redevelopment has been delayed by sub-ground contamination which has been successfully removed. The project is now proceeding strongly.

The structural repairs and fabric restoration at Kensington Town Hall have been completed.

Major assets renewal programs in respect to roads, footpaths, drains, parks and Council buildings have been delivered.

In summary, a large program of work has been successfully delivered during 2011-12.

3. Key Projects – Progress Report

Swanston Street Redevelopment $25.6 million As indicated in the overview, work on Swanston Street has been proceeding strongly despite encountering a number of unexpected latent conditions. Accessible tram stops are now operating between Latrobe Street and Little Lonsdale Street and between Bourke Street and Little Bourke Street. A further stop is approaching completion at the City Square. The whole project including the general upgrade of the street and four new accessible tram stops is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012-13. Boyd School Redevelopment $9.5 million The restoration of the heritage school building has now been completed including fitout as a community hub and is now operational. It was officially opened on 7 July 2012 and has added considerably to the Southbank community. A planning permit application has been submitted in respect to the residential and commercial development that will be constructed on another section of the site. Docklands Library, Community Centre and Boating Hub The various legal agreements underpinning this development have been executed and design work is advanced. Work is expected to commence on site in August 2012 with remediation of piles that will support the building and the adjacent promenade. The construction work will be carried out concurrently with a major public infrastructure upgrade in the precinct. Carlton Baths and Resource Centre Redevelopment $10.4 million Work has continued strongly on the Family Resource Centre and multi-purpose areas, whilst the health centre extension has been delayed by the discovery of contaminated ground, which has required removal and disposal by specialist firms. This has been completed but has impacted on the timing of the project and its ultimate cost. Work is now progressing on the Health Centre structure. Fitzroy Gardens Redevelopment $13.9 million The water harvesting project is now progressing steadily, following delays due to inclement weather and other site related difficulties. These have now been resolved and the structure is advancing quickly. It is expected to be completed in November 2012. The new Works Depot and Visitors Centre have been designed and will be tendered in early August 2012, to enable construction to start shortly after completion of the water harvesting work. Significant funds have been allocated in the 2012-13 Council Works Program for this work.

Holland Park Pavilion $2.5 million Progress on the refurbishment of the pavilion has ceased following the contractor being placed in administration. The contract has now been terminated and arrangements are being finalised to re-tender this work. Construction work is expected to recommence in October, with completion in May 2013. Kensington Town Hall Refurbishment $1.5 million Major repairs to the fabric and structure of the building, including removing lead paint, were completed during the fourth quarter. The follow up contract to provide an accessible entrance to the building, upgrade services and provide landscaping has been tendered and is expected to be let shortly. This work is expected to be completed in June 2013. Additional funding is being provided in the 2012-13 Council Works Program.

Water Conservation and Climate Adaptation $3.4 million The two principal elements of this work are the water harvesting projects to Birrarung Marr and Queen Victoria Gardens/Alexandra Gardens. The Birrarung Marr water harvesting project has been tendered and a contract is expected to be let in September 2012. It involves capturing stormwater run off from the main East Melbourne drain and storing it beneath the upper terrace. The water will be used for irrigating the grassed areas of Birrarung Marr. The work is expected to be completed early in the 2013-14 financial year.

The capturing of water in Queen Victoria Gardens and its storage in Alexandra Gardens has been designed and will be tendered shortly. Both these projects involve Federal Government Grant funding. This work is expected to be completed in early 2013-14.

Queen Victoria Market Improvements $1.4 million Construction contracts to improve the Victoria Street streetscape between Elizabeth Street and Peel Street have now been completed and the intersection of Queen Street and Victoria Street has now been enhanced. Improvements adjacent to the loading dock areas of the Meat Hall have been completed. Northbank Promenade $15.0 million These works are primarily funded by the State Government and the two current main projects include: a) Widening of the Northbank Promenade adjacent to the Spencer Street: This work is expected to

be completed in the first quarter of 2012-13. It is currently in an advanced stage.

b) An underpass for pedestrians and cyclists beneath the Charles Grimes Bridge providing a link from both Spencer Street and the Melbourne Convention Centre to Docklands. This work has been delayed pending additional funds, which have now been provided by the State Government. Works is expected to commence during the first quarter of 2012-13 and be completed in early 2013-14. The underpass is an innovative curved and cantilevered truss structure, which will complete the connection to Docklands on the Northbank.

It is also expected that works will commence in the first two quarters of 2012-13 in respect to the extension of the Northbank Promenade at the Charles Grimes Bridge, with the construction of the new underpass.

6. Carry forward of funds to 2012-13

The proposed carry forward of funding to 2012-13 is $15.3 million compared to the forecast of $19.7 million, which was forecast in the third quarter report. Additional work was carried out and the carry forward has been reduced. The major elements within the carry forward are $2.9 million in respect to the Fitzroy Gardens Stormwater Harvesting and new Depot and $1.8 million for the Holland Park Sports Pavilion construction works.
