Some Owners have statutory obligations related to the delivery of the alliance works that cannot be transferred to the alliance. For example, an Owner may be required to approve design work that will be incorporated in an existing, operational transport network, and its statutory obligations will not allow it to transfer this function to the alliance.
In these instances, the Owner should allocate appropriate internal resources to undertake the required activities in line with the alliance program. These Owner resources need to be made accessible and available to the alliance in key technical, commercial, operational and stakeholder areas to properly manage the work interfaces between the alliance project and the Owner's wider operations and organisation.
