The two main Korumburra projects have been delayed and will not be completed as planned in the 2020/2021 year.
The Administrators approved of a $10 Million loan to enable these two projects to be constructed quickly but a VCAT challenge to the Community Hub and design challenges to the Streetscape means the community will need to wait a little longer.
Korumburra Commercial Streetscape: Decrease expenditure budget by $1,042,042 2020/21 Revised Expenditure: $1,742,042 Revised: $700,000
This budget includes three projects budgeted over multiple years; Upper Commercial Street car park in the rail station precinct, Little Commercial Street, and Commercial Street. This program of works has been impacted by the need for a planning permit for the car park at the rail station site and design challenges in Little Commercial Street, which has seen these works delayed and hence an associated reduction in expected 2020/21 expenditure. This reduced budget of $1,042,042 will be carried forward to 2021/22.
Community Hub – Korumburra: Decrease expenditure budget by $5,272,632 2020/21 Revised Expenditure: $5,472,632 Revised: $200,000
The tender for these works was planned to be released to the market in October 2020. However, a VCAT application has delayed this tender process and it is now unlikely works will commence in 2020/21. This reduced budget of $5,272,632 will be carried forward to 2021/22.
