The senior responsible owner is usually the Chief Executive Officer or a Deputy Secretary of the government party. The senior responsible owner has overall responsibility for the successful delivery of government services relevant to the Partnerships Victoria project.
The senior responsible owner must ensure that:
• the project's significance is appropriately recognised;
• the government party's board or Minister is periodically briefed;
• the government party's senior management group takes an active interest in the ongoing delivery of the contracted services during the life of the project; and
• adequate financial resources, an appropriate contract director and contract management team are in place to satisfactorily deal with the private party and the project's complexity and challenges.
