Sewerage Treatment & Pumping Unit Rates
Sewerage Treatment & Pumping Unit Rates - Sewerage treatment & pumping assets were revalued as at 1 July 2009, using the following component unit rates.
| Component Type | Small (100mm pipework) | Medium (200mm pipework) | Large (250mm+ pipework) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| up to 6kW | 6 kW to 22 kW | greater than 22 kW | ||
| 1.8mm well | 3.6mm well | Large well | ||
| Flowmeter | $4,500 | $6,000 | $10,000 | |
| Motor Starter | $2,000 | $7,000 | $13,000 | |
| Switchboard (Includes mains ) | $22,000 | $27,000 | $40,000 | |
| Sump Pump | N/A | N/A | $1,500 | |
| Submersible Pump (Stool, Chain, Guide Rail) | $7,000 | $1,5000 | $45,000 | There are typically 2 submersible pumps at a station. |
| Ventilation System | N/A | N/A | $5,000 | |
| Pump Well Structure (Includes design) | $120,000 | $180,000 | $250,000 | |
| Flowmeter Pit | $6,000 | $7,000 | $9,000 | |
| SCADA RTU Installation | $8,000 | $8,000 | $8,000 | |
| Pipework & Valves | $3,000 | $9,000 | $15,000 | per pump |
The Water Main Unit Rates below were developed in-house for the 1 July 2009 revaluation. A spreadsheet detailing how the unit rates were developed is available here.

Road Unit Rates - The 2008 unit rates below were developed by ACEAM for the post-amalgamation revaluation. A explanation of how the July 2010 rates were devised can be found here.

Drainage Unit Rates - The unit rates below were used in the 1 July 2009 Revaluation.
|
The unit rates are based on the cost of a small number of BRC drainage projects, the standard rates used by ACEAM to value the drainage network post amalgamation, and unit rates developed by Fraser Coast Regional Council. To try and smooth out inconsistencies that may have resulted from the infrequent use of the larger Box Culvert sizes, first cut unit rates were plotted against culvert area, and a best fit curve plotted.
The equation adopted was: Unit Rate = 0.000835 x Area² + 0.385 x Area + 350
In the graph below the blue dots represent individual unit rate data points, and the green line is the above equation.
A similar technique was used to smooth out variations in the unit costs of stormwater pipes. This yielded the equation.
Unit Rate = 0.000645*Diameter² -0.062*Diameter +186
