  • Pods 2 and 3 are following Pod 1 as the trades move from one pod to the other.
  • Once Pod 1 is completed in late June 2022 the carpark works will commence.

The project's schedule has been impacted by continued wet weather and lack of available sub-contractors, due to COVID-19.

Recovery actions
The project schedule is being monitored, with appropriate adjustments to tasks being made as a result of wet weather with the possibility of adding:
  • additional workdays
  • longer working times
  • additional sub-contractors (where available) on site to complete works although this is a problem across many sites with a lack of available staff across the industry.
IN6.5.2 - Flagstone Community Hub
Deliver detailed design work for the Flagstone Community Hub.
Purpose: To support development of the new Greater Flagstone community centre.
June 2022 Monitor As at the end of the third quarter:
  • Delivery of the land has not occurred due to developer delay.
  • Previous quarter the project put in place recovery actions to have discussions with Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) and the developer to communicate the potential impacts to the community from delaying handover of land.
  • The outcome of these discussions was that:
    •  the transfer of title would take place in April 2022
    • Council would get the land to develop at the end of June 2022
    • This still means Council cannot develop or progress the project until we have the land to build on.
 
Recovery actions
  • It is recommended that the project's description be changed to:
    • IN6.5.2 – Secure land to commence detailed design work for the Flagstone Community Hub.
  • It is also recommended that this project be included in next year's Operational Plan with the deliverable being the detailed design of the Flagstone Community Hub.
  • Actions the project will undertake moving forward are:
    • Negotiate with the developer and EDQ to finalise the transfer of title to the land.
    • Organise with the developer for when the transfer of land is made ready for delivery by June 2022.

This approach does not have budget implications as the original funding can be carried over into the next financial year.
