- Description
- The last two decades have seen the evolution of PPPs as an alternative procurement method to traditional methods of delivering public infrastructure. Competing demands for public sector investment for new infrastructure has prompted Australian governments to increasingly turn to the private sector to form partnerships in the construction, ownership and operation of infrastructure assets. This has become a major challenge for both public and private sector stakeholders but the emergence of PPPs provides an alternate means for developing infrastructure using private sector expertise. There is considerable growth potential for PPPs given that the New South Wales Government has developed policies to expand the application of PPPs to include social infrastructure, such as hospitals and schools. Subsequently Local government has been investigating the delivery of infrastructure and services PPPs. A key argument for Governments to procure projects using PPPs is that the process would deliver better overall value for all the stakeholders, including the broader community. The aim of this paper is to investigate current approaches to successful risk management of infrastructure using the Top Ryde PPP as a case study project. The method focuses on a case study approach involving an analysis of project documentation and a semi-structured interview process. The results of this research centres around an effective tri-partite contract agreement, innovative relationship management and a very successful risk management approach with a particular focus on legal, financial and community factors.
