Recommendations

Treasury and the RTA should:

■  review the bidding model used for PPP projects, including the CCT

■  limit the upfront payment sought from the private sector to recovery of development costs, and abandon the option of a Business Consideration Fee

■  make value for money for motorists an explicit objective of the assessment of bids for future tollway projects

■  consider making the toll level the point of competition in the bidding process.
