Title: Gray Community Hall Redevelopment Authors: Nilson, Nadine Abstract: City of Palmerston redeveloped it’s Gray Community Hall into a contemporary multi-use facility, which is available to the community for free use. Following funding being secured of $1.455m from the Australian Government, the $2 million project was completed in January 2022. The original building was demolished and the new one constructed within a 9 month period, overcoming the challenges of COVID-19.

Title: Footpath and Cycleway (Non-Highway Pavements) – Best Practice Design and Construction Methods Authors: Robinson, Frazer Abstract: Footpaths and cycleways are an important feature of many people’s daily lives; walking your children to school, getting exercise, or just going for a walk around the neighbourhood. Footpaths are intended to create a safe environment for any activity that utilises this infrastructure. A lot of planning and forethought goes into ensuring this happens; appropriate lighting, trees for shade, signage, and most importantly, the pavement design and construction of the concrete surface that you walk, run or cycle on. This paper outlines best practice design and construction methods and will address some of the following questions: • Why is my footpath cracking? • Why are the joints moving, causing trip hazards? • What is causing all those cracks? • How can I factor sustainability into the design/construction? How can all this be avoided? With a few simple design detail updates and establishing clear and open lines of communication with your construction teams, we can all make a huge improvement on the quality and safety of our community’s footpaths and cycleways. This in turn, significantly reduces the cost and effort consumed in the repair, maintenance, or replacement of our pathway networks. Topics of discussion: Design (Best-Practice) • Concrete Mix Design • Path Thickness and Dowels • Joint Design o Expansion o Construction o Weakened Plane o Articulating, and o Isolation • Joint Layout o Spacing o Utilities o Trees (root-heave) o Panel Ratio (L:W) etc • Restraint Cracking • Corrosion • Sustainability Construction Methods (Best-Practice) • Ordering Concrete (slump and adding water) • Formwork/Stripping • Expansion Joints - proprietary systems • Dowel Installation • Reinforcing - steel mesh or synthetic fibres • Concrete Placement and Consolidation • Finishing and Weakened Plane Joints • Tips and Tricks

Title: Asset Design as Constructed (ADAC) – the Council and Utility led platform for the efficient capture and storage of civil infrastructure asset data. Authors: Lamont, Mark Abstract: What is ADAC? ADAC is a data specification platform which enables the efficient capture and storage of civil infrastructure asset data. It is open source and adopted widely by councils and utilities across Australia. ADAC is the industry standard for public works infrastructure. Why adopt ADAC? ADAC is the national Standard and recognised ‘source of truth’ for automated asset data management. ADAC data can be checked for errors, transformed and electronically transferred into asset management systems, efficiently and reliably and then used to populate asset databases and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The ADAC framework offers consistent and accurate results, saving time and costs for the owners, recipients and constructors of civil infrastructure assets. Why ADAC is better than any alternative ADAC has been developed by industry for industry incorporating the knowledge and expertise of asset experts actively involved with public works. It is open source offering subscribers the freedom to utilise their preferred software systems and ADAC is versatile - it can be adapted to the processes already in place. It has a broad scope with more detailed asset classes than any other options. Benefits of ADAC ADAC saves all stakeholders time and resources in processing their infrastructure data. The process ensures accuracy with data integrity and transparency improving corporate governance. The asset data can be round-tripped so that data with integrity can be transferred back to developers. Asset owners, property developers and consulting engineers can reasonably expect a high level of consistency. Benefits of joining the Consortium Consortium members are able to influence the development of the ADAC schema participating on the various technical working groups to ensure the schema is developed and tailored to meet their particular needs for example including new attributes.
