Question 2: Given Council was briefed at the May 2012 workshop by its engineers through a ‘power point’ presentation, of the consequences and risks associated with a dam (detailed within Sheets C08 & C11) being sited at the end of Cheopis Street, on what basis was this site chosen in preference to the recommended location on the top of Binneys Track shown on 2008 Layout Plan: (http://www.kangarooisland.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Penneshaw-CWMS- Scheme_Layout-2008-August.pdf ) and other alternative sites identified by the consultant Answer The site was preferred by Councillors as it represented a compromise between the costs associated with the original Binneys Track proposal (the issue of vertical lift and the ongoing high costs of pumping effluent up to this site were raised by Councillors during the early assessments). The other alternative site to the south of the Golf Course has issues in terms of visual amenity, cost of land, proximity to watercourse etc. A report in the July Agenda discusses this further. Question 3: Have the risks of siting an earth dam on land above and close to the residential area and issues related to earthquake-induced liquefaction (which is a common cause of earth dam failure) been taken into consideration and factored in the designs and the construction costs of the dam shown on Drawings-Sheets C08 & C11 If so, why does Council need to conduct a further assessment on the designs and analysis of dam break risks Answer Yes it has – our Engineers would not have suggested the site and the design if they had not assessed these issues as being minimal. They have made it clear that detail design work would formally address any risk associated with the topography, tectonic, precipitation activity and other land based parameters. However, there have been repeated suggestions implying that a lagoon in this location would present major issues despite no facts being made available to substantiate this. We have maintained that once the facts are established, these perceived risks will either be validated or dismissed. Council will make its own assessment of the advice it receives and will resolve whether to proceed with this site or not at this time. Given the repeated suggestions implying that the design is in some way unsuitable, Council determined in April to formally request that this work be carried out in order to bring facts to the fore as soon as possible. Question 4: If the matter in ‘Question 3' above was overlooked, why should this Council need to pay extra consultant fees for further advice on the ‘probabilities of damage to an earth wall due to earthquakes’ as directed by Council in ‘Resolution 20.1’ of April 2013 meeting Answer As above. Due to the continued suggestions implying the design is unsuitable Council determined to specifically request additional work be done before the rest of the project is completed. At this stage we have not been informed whether this work will attract additional fees or otherwise. Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 6
Item No 8.1.2 Report Title Council Meeting Date 10 July 2013 Author Title Attachments Cr Walkom – Question on Notice – Kingscote Airport Andrew C Boardman Chief Executive Officer Nil File Ref – Records E2013/2266 – 9.3.1 Hours to compile 1.5 Discussion The following are Questions on Notice from Councillor Walkom: Question 1 Has Council or any agent, consultant or partner of Council that is involved in feasibility work associated with the possible upgrade of the KI Airport, discussed or consulted with REX airlines about the possibility of them providing a RPT service from Melbourne to the existing ‘as is’ KI airport – i.e. to provide such a service without needing a substantial upgrade Answer At the consultation meeting with Mr Warrick Lodge (General Manager – Network Strategy & Sales for REX) the service option was not brought up by either party. Question 2 If the service referenced in (1) above was to commence, would any upgrade to the current facilities be needed above those required to continue the current REX Adelaide to Kingscote service Answer See above – matter did not arise. Note: Separately to the consultation process, this matter has been discussed with REX and they have confirmed that there would need to be refuelling facilities at the airport to maintain a MEL-KGC-MEL service direct. Question 3 Following the consultation that occurred with REX airlines as stated in the ‘Business Case for the Upgrade of the KI Airport at Kingscote’, May 2013, is it correct that REX could, operationally, commence a direct Melbourne to Kingscote RPT service within three months Answer At the consultation meeting with Mr Warrick Lodge (General Manager – Network Strategy & Sales for REX) the service option was not brought up by either party. Note: Separately to the consultation process this matter has been discussed with REX and they have confirmed that post any decision to commence a service there is a lead time of twelve weeks. This is generally driven by operational requirements and there may also be commercial matters to consider that may require a longer lead time. Question 4 Is it correct that the flying time using the Saab 340 aircraft that provide the current RPT service to KI from Adelaide, would be only 1hr 40min (approx) to KI from Melbourne Answer The advice received is 1 hour and 50 minutes approximately (MEL Tullamarine to KGC Kingscote) Kangaroo Island Council – 10 July 2013 Agenda 7
