Objectives

Explain why the CTM Code has been developed

Explain the process of how the CTM Code has been

reviewed

Explain how the CTM Code can be incorporated into the

FNQROC

5

What is the CTM Alliance?

Consists of the water businesses of Cairns,

Townsville and Mackay

Commenced in 2009

These are the largest urban water

businesses in Regional Queensland

Scope

Regulation and Water Reform

Resource sharing and Optimisation

Asset Management

Operations and Business Improvement

6

Background to the CTM code

The reform of water businesses in the SE Queensland

The “South East Queensland Water(Distribution and Retail

Restructuring Act” obligations

Influence the reform agenda

Alignment with the National WSAA codes

Outcome was the SEQ Design Code, going live on 1st July 2013

Opportunity to align 3 major regional service providers and develop

a common code.

CTM Code initiative commenced in July 2014, with program for

completion in 2015 – draft CTM Code dated May 2015.

7

Background to the CTM code

Principles

The overall approach (don’t “reinvent the wheel”)

Changes to the SEQ code are to be kept to a minimum

Intent

Intent is to help standardise and simplify the process for

designing/constructing reticulation assets across CTM WSP’s

and statewide

What other Council’s are doing?

Mackay

Mackay has just adopted a new planning scheme.

Intention is to include the CTM code as an amendment to the

Planning scheme

Townsville

No movement due to restructuring

Adoption in a future planning scheme date ?

Wide Bay Burnet Regional Organisation of Council’s (WBBROC)

Starting similar process as CTM

9

Structure of the CTM Code

The CTM Code consists of:

LIVE-#4762389-WW Infrastructure, 150529 - CTM Water Services Design and Construction Code Ver 0.2 May

2015 - Final Draft.doc

CTM Overview Document

Table 4.1 CTM Water Network Design Criteria

Table 10 CTM Sewerage Network Design Criteria

WSAA – Need to purchase

11

Application of the CTM Code

• The code has been developed for use by each Council and has been

accepted by the CTM Alliance but adoption is up to each individual

Council.

• Each CTM Code section (i.e. water supply, sewerage, sewerage pump

stations) is an addendum to documents already developed for the SEQ

Water Supply and Sewerage D&C Code.

• The CTM addenda is a tabulation of the CTM amendments embedded into

the SEQ Addenda

• The code only applies to NEW reticulation assets not TRUNK

• The code is separate to the Customer Service Standards

• The code can remain outside the Planning Scheme Policy

• The CTM Sewerage Code (like the SEQ Code) applies to Smart Sewers

only (RIGGS, Nusewers)

12

Integration of FNQROC and CTM Code

Approach

Minimal change

Change in terminology only

Existing Requirements remain intact

Only a few requirements/clauses considered for deletion

13

Integration of FNQROC and CTM Code

The CTM Code will be supplementary to the FNQROC Development

Manual.

The reference to the WSA Code in the FNQROC would be replaced with

references to the CTM Code.

Over time any duplications or redundant sections of the water and

sewerage design sections in FNQROC could be progressively removed

Where discrepancies exist the FNQROC will prevail - hierarchy

It is acknowledged that some requirements will remain unique to the WSP.

In the future some requirements will be subject to a change process to

achieve a common CTM standard.

How we reviewed the CTM Code?

The review was based on the May 2015 version of the CTM Code LIVE-#4762389-WW Infrastructure, 150529 - CTM Water Services Design and Construction Code Ver 0.2 May 2015 - Final Draft.doc

Shortlisted and reviewed the SEQ/WSA Clauses and reviewed internally. LIVE-#5086659-WW Infrastructure, CTM Code Review Phase-1 2016

Identified clauses that were duplications, in conflict with FNQROC

requirements or were useful and could be adopted. LIVE-#5096543-WW Infrastructure1/58/13 Design & Construct Code Comparison Assessment (WSA / SEQ / CTM / FNQROC)

Identified clauses and requirements that could be considered in the next

review. LIVE-#5086659-WW Infrastructure, CTM Code Review Phase-1 2016

LIVE-#5189950-WW Infrastructure 1/58/13 CTM Alliance Workshop, review of clauses in the

CTM Water and Sewerage codes

Reviewed full set of SEQ/WSA drawings and shortlisted for review LIVE-#5220878-WW Infrastructure 1/58/13 - Water Supply Code - Standard Drawings - CRC Review
