2.10.2  Independent Reviewer Deed of Appointment

The role of the Independent Reviewer is set out in the Independent Reviewer Deed of Appointment and the Project Deed. The Independent Reviewer Deed of Appointment describes the scope of the role, the standard of care and the level of monitoring of works required to be carried out.

On Linear Infrastructure Availability PPP Projects, the role of the Independent Reviewer includes a 'general overview and reasonable checking' role in relation to the carrying out of the Project Activities, review of Design Documentation, certifications and extensions of time. On Social Infrastructure Availability PPP Projects, the role is typically limited to determining extensions of time and other 'time-related' issues and certifying Acceptance.

The Independent Reviewer Deed of Appointment requires the Independent Reviewer to carry out the role in accordance with the Project Deed, including in accordance with any timeframes set out in the Project Deed or where no time is specified, within a reasonable time.

Consistent with clause 8.2(b) of the PV Standard Project Deeds, the Independent Reviewer Deed of Appointment also acknowledges the paramountcy and independence of the role of the Independent Reviewer under the Project Deed.
