Government is interested in understanding the outcome of the selection process and its alignment to the approved Business Case, including achieving the investment in community services benefits. Whilst TOC development processes often develop project solutions that the Owner considers will deliver superior VfM to that contemplated in the Owner's VfM Statement, changes that materially depart from the approved Business Case will require approval by the government to ensure alignment with the investment rationale in the Business Case.
Government approval of a Business Case is also in terms of the estimated capital works budget. The BCAR will need to address any departures from those estimates, and if the departures are significant, to provide options for addressing these, including cancelling the project delivery.
