Statement by the CEO DMO

The attached Project Data Summary Sheets for the fifteen major projects included in this report have been prepared in accordance with Guidelines developed by the DMO in consultation with the Australian National Audit Office.

In my opinion, the Project Data Summary Sheets comply in all material respects with the Guidelines and reflect the status of the projects as at 30 June 2009. In stating this opinion I acknowledge that:

•  Base date contract figures for certain projects in Tables 2.6 and 2.7 have not been included as the DMO resource effort and cost to calculate the base date amounts has been seen to be excessive.

•  Table 4.1 lists known major project risks that have been identified as at 30 June 2009, but by the very nature of risks, the list is not purported to be complete because of unknown risk events that may emerge in the future.
