2.  Project management structure

Successful implementation of the Value for Money Framework requires the establishment of a dedicated government project team. The team members will need to have an appropriate mix of skills and experience across key technical, commercial and financial disciplines relevant to the project. The government project team will also be supported, as necessary, by specialist external advisers from legal, financial, technical, planning, industrial relations and communications fields.

While some resources will have been devoted to the preliminary evaluation stage of the Project Assurance Framework, the full government project team should not need to be established until the

Public private partnership business case development stage. Figure 1 outlines a typical project management structure.

The Department of Infrastructure and Planning and Queensland Treasury representatives on the steering committee will report through their respective Directors-General to the relevant Ministers. Wherever possible, joint Ministerial briefings will be employed.
