The cost option for this is estimated as: WWTP / Lagoon Option 3 Subsidy $3,003,282 Council Contribution $1,252,779 Total Project Cost $4,256,061 This location allows for expansion, it presents a much lessor visual amenity issue as it will essentially not be overlooked either from the south or the east and is away from the town centre in an area that is not zoned for residential / rural living. The initial lagoon will be 5ML in capacity – the equivalent of a standard farmer’s turkey nest (30m2 base or 50m2 centre bank to bank). Subsequent lagoons would be installed to the rear of this in a nested fashion either of 5 or 10ML capacities – this then mitigates cost and disruption caused by routine liner replacement. The design is also distant from any water course (unlike the other options). The financial analysis of this option for Council’s component demonstrates that this is manageable over a 20 year timeframe with the assumption that the Annual Service Charge for Wastewater is as budgeted in 2013-14 at $562 / service. The new project is therefore self-servicing and does not impact the costs associated with the other schemes at American River, Kingscote, Parndana or Parndana East. It should be noted that any capital cost increase during final design / construction from this element of the project alone would be to Council’s cost and not picked up through a revised subsidy calculation. This is due to the Scheme being prepared to fund the “minimum” cost scheme only. It is recommended that Council adopt this design as its preferred solution and take this forward to public consultation for a period of no less than 60 days as it: Provides a wastewater solution for the heart of Penneshaw (including key commercial and public infrastructure) with a realistic level of borrowing that that Council is able to financially service from revenues generated. Provides for the possibility of organic growth (extension) of the collection network over time by providing for the ability to expand the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and treated water storage lagoon capacities as required. The design meets best practise guidelines Should Council adopt this design for the purposes of public consultation then we would instruct the Engineers to continue with final design and specification work, including additional geotechnical and design analysis in order that Council may receive a report confirming the suitability of the design prior to moving into the prudential review process. This will also allow the Council to commence the Development Application and Approval Process. The completion of specifications will also allow Council to run a request for interest process and test the suggested construction costs for the project as well. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 20
The prudential review process will be undertaken once public consultation is complete. It is proposed that an independent prudential reviewer will be commissioned to review the project in line with the need of the Local Government Act 1999 Part 3 Section 48 subsection 2 viz (2) The following are prudential issues for the purposes of subsection (1): (a) the relationship between the project and relevant strategic management plans; (b) the objectives of the Development Plan in the area where the project is to occur; (c) the expected contribution of the project to the economic development of the local area, the impact that the project may have on businesses carried on in the proximity and, if appropriate, how the project should be established in a way that ensures fair competition in the market place; (d) the level of consultation with the local community, including contact with persons who may be affected by the project and the representations that have been made by them, and the means by which the community can influence or contribute to the project or its outcomes; (e) if the project is intended to produce revenue, revenue projections and potential financial risks; (f) the recurrent and whole-of-life costs associated with the project including any costs arising out of proposed financial arrangements; (g) the financial viability of the project, and the short and longer term estimated net effect of the project on the financial position of the council; (h) any risks associated with the project, and the steps that can be taken to manage, reduce or eliminate those risks (including by the provision of periodic reports to the chief executive officer and to the council); (i) the most appropriate mechanisms or arrangements for carrying out the project. Costs of Connection to the Scheme Kangaroo Island Council has an existing policy whereby it has adopted the SA Water Fees and Charges associated with Wastewater Connection and Extension. The Fees and Charges currently adopted require clarification / simplification and this will be subject to a separate report. Example 2013-14 Fees are as follows: Wastewater Connection Fees Wastewater Connection (to a new scheme) 100mm Standard Capital Charge $ 6,467.00 Application Fee $ 165.00 GST on Application Fee $ 16.50 $ 6,648.50 Standard Rebate for Septic Tank replacement -$ 1,500.00 Standard Rebate for an Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) System -$ 2,500.00 Therefore Connection Fee for 100mm connection assuming septic replacement $ 5,148.50 Connection Fee for 100mm connection assuming AWT replacement / connection $ 4,148.50 Note – there are additional charges for connections of 150mm and >150mm in diameter based on actual costs of connection. Landowners will be charged the Annual CWMS Service Charge as soon as the scheme is commissioned – whether connected or not - and it is desired that all developed properties will be connected to the scheme within two years of the commissioning date. The connection process will be managed by Council. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 21
