Item No 15.2 Report Title Bullock Track Petition Council Meeting Date 10 July 2013 Author Title Senior Manager Department Attachments Hours to compile 1.0 Strategic Plan Reference Purpose Executive Summary Recommendation Discussion Anna Osman Asset Program Manager Michael Culley Asset Services 4.3 Construct and maintain road infrastructure in an innovative and sustainable manner To respond to and advise on the status of the Bullock Track in the forward capital program in response to a petition received. The Bullock Track has evolved from a narrow sandy track in sections to the connector road between Kingscote and Dover Farm in more recent times. The road surface condition is reasonable with potholes in sections; however vegetation encroachment and restricted line of sight in some areas are issues for commuters. That the report be received for information. Council has received a petition of signatures from residents concerned about the current state of the Bullock Track. The Bullock Track has seen a rise in traffic over the last 6 to 8 years, particularly with increased subdivision and housing development in Dover Farm and along the Track itself. The road has evolved from a narrow sandy track in sections to a road that now averages 128 vehicles per day (vpd). The road has no drainage infrastructure by way of cross drains and is narrow in sections boarded by trees and scrub. Potholes are appearing as there is little provision for water to drain off the road and traffic numbers have increased. There is minimal pavement along the track and the locally sourced material used in wearing surface maintenance works has a high sand and low PI content, therefore not performing well. The upgrade of this road will need to including widening, realignment and vegetation clearance in sections, appropriate drainage infrastructure and construction material to be carted. The road will need to be formally surveyed and designed for the upgrade prior to any works commencing. Safety issues for the Bullock Track have been raised to the RAA Road Safety Unit by the residents. The RAA Road Safety Unit in liaison with Council is coming over to Kangaroo Island in September to better understand some of our unsealed road safety issues, including a review of the Bullock Track. Pending the outcome of that safety review with the RAA, survey and design work can commence so that a scope of work can be costed and presented to Council. Based on the works required and length of road (3.3km of sheeted surface), the capital works required may need to be staged over two (2) years. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 74
Governance Considerations (relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights for a given area of responsibility) Nil at this time 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) Standardised approach to this is required as there are likely other examples of roads that are now used by traffic type and quantity beyond their original design parameters (if designed at all). Economic Considerations (Assessment of likely financial implications of pursuing a course of action) Work is required and will form part of 2013-14 planning processes that will inform future Budgets Social Considerations (Assessment of likely impacts with the Community) The issue has been raised by Community and will need to be addressed through a comprehensive process that results in a “fit for purpose” design and specification to be adopted followed by appropriate works. Environmental Considerations (Assessment of likely impacts on the environment) There may be vegetation considerations in sections – the implications of which will be part of the review, design and specification process.
