5.2 Proposed Commercial Structure

Guidance note: The proposed commercial structure depicted in Figure 1 (Proposed Commercial Structure) reflects a typical availability-PPP structure and should be updated to reflect Project-specific arrangements (e.g. where a project is a full service PPP or has franchising arrangements).

The State is seeking to contract with a single corporate entity (Project Co) to deliver the Project. The contractual framework for the Project will adopt a typical document structure as used for availability PPPs in Victoria under the Partnerships Victoria Framework.

Figure 1 (Proposed Commercial Structure) sets out a high-level overview of the proposed commercial structure for the Project.

Figure 1: Proposed Commercial Structure

The State recognises that Respondents may propose contractual arrangements between Project Co and Respondent Members that differ from the indicative commercial structure outlined in Figure 1 (Proposed Commercial Structure) above.
