15. Questions without Notice
|
15.1 |
Cr O'Neil - At the next Council meeting could staff update Councillors on discussions with Ministers and Officials on the $15 million commitment on Cuttagee Bridge? |
|
|
A response to Cr O’Neil’s Question without Notice was provided in the Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda of 23 August 2023 with the response as follows: As you are aware this election promise was made by Dr Holland back in early March 2023 during the last state election. Labor promises $15m to restore historic Cuttagee Bridge if it wins state election - ABC News. It wasn’t consulted with council staff at any point prior to the announcement however Local Member for Bega Dr Holland has subsequently indicated in various media and meetings that TfNSW will be liaising with Council over these works. Since the election the only contact from TfNSW has been the text message below from a manager of TfNSW on 10th May: We have been asked to provide status update and potential forecast for delivery of election committed funding should the new government formalise this funding. Cuttagee is complicated with many considerations, but if you were given $15m to 'restore' the bridge, what would be the delivery timeframe (eg. design/investigate in FY23/24, procure, deliver in FY 24/25/26 with rough forecast of this $15M).
Staff responded immediately via telephone to this text asking several questions regarding the criteria surrounding the allocation of any funding, noting that the currently resolved position of Council is to demolish and replace the current structure with a 2-lane concrete bridge and not restore the deteriorated and load limited single lane timber bridge currently in place. Staff also pointed out that no work had been conducted into the methodology or costs involved to fully restore the timber structure and this would require a funding source and long lead time to establish, if indeed this was to be undertaken. While no answers have been received, staff did take a call from a senior manager at TfNSW asking how much funding would be required to model any restoration works as they were preparing a briefing for the responsible minister who was looking at all project funding within their portfolio. On 17 June 2023 the CEO wrote to Dr Hollands office following up on an opportunity to meet with the Minister. On 27 June 2023 a response was received advising a meeting had been scheduled with the Minister the following day (28 June 2023) which was a Council meeting day and meant that Council could not attend. Council requested a new time to meet which has subsequently not occurred due to the minister being on leave. Staff have heard nothing since that point from the Government (including TfNSW) and have tried to get written updates through the normal official channels and via conversations at other meetings and briefings. We understand that the responsible minister has been absent on leave for some time and is expected to return sometime in September. Indications have been that we will hear nothing further until after the state budget has been announced. Councillors met with Dr Holland at a ‘Roundtable’ on 9 August where he reiterated that TfNSW were looking after this and liaising with us and he couldn’t expand on what the election promise may or may not contain. He also suggested that he was waiting to hear from Minister Aitcheson when she returns from leave and when the budgets are released. Council has made the Government aware that the longer a decision on the project takes the greater likely cost escalations.
Chief Executive Officer, Anthony McMahon provided a further update at the meeting that a meeting invite had been received from the Regional Roads Minster for 4 September 2023 to discuss Cuttagee Bridge
