Council Agenda - Kangaroo Island Council - SA.Gov.au

As previously reported, Ingenero has advised of a series of issues/points associated
with Phase 2 relating to vehicle specifications, availability and costs – notably the
unavailability of a mini-bus due to cost prohibitions. Council and Ingenero are presently
working up a recommended package for how Council can best invest the Phase 2
funds ($151,254) to deliver a combination of charge points and vehicles (inclusive of
options for lease/purchase of small passenger vehicles). This approach has been
supported by the CEO of DMITRE on the basis that the project still achieves the
objectives of demonstrating solar innovation with high visibility for Kangaroo Island.
Commissioning
Phase 1 solar arrays – early August 2013.
Phase 2 charge points and e-vehicles – to be determined – agreement with DMITRE
CEO to complete by end 2013.
Budget and financial
Grant of $500,000 (ex gst) – within budget as a ‘turn-key’ project with use of grant
funds.
Governance Considerations
(relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights for a given area of
responsibility)
Development Approvals obtained. Occupational, Health and Safety and Airport Airside safety
requirements. Contractual arrangements with airport transfers service. Commissioning and
ongoing management/maintenance, post the 5 year O+M period. As this project will have
direct operational benefit to the running of the airport then this is complying use for Community
Land under the Local Government Act.
Risk Management Considerations
(identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether
positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and
control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities)
Occupational, Health and Safety and Airport Airside safety requirements via Airport
management. CASA referral/approval through Development Act approval process. Airport
Management and risk assessment. Potential time delays in Ingenero procuring the
infrastructure and Electric Vehicles.
Economic Considerations
(Assessment of likely financial implications of pursuing a course of action)
Capital costs – no cost to Council, as through grant funds. Recurrent management and
maintenance (post the 5 year O+M period) and asset renewal. Energy savings and recurrent
cost savings on energy and fuel.
Social Considerations
(Assessment of likely impacts with the Community)
Benefits through use of renewable energy and education/awareness.
Environmental Considerations
(Assessment of likely impacts on the environment)
Benefits through use of renewable energy.
