Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project—Phase 1: Early Works

Body

This audit assessed whether planning processes and early works have adequately prepared the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project for the main tunnel and stations works.

We reviewed planning processes including the development of the project business case (defining the problem, strategic options analysis, demand forecasts, and benefits definition), stakeholder consultation, site acquisition and preparation, land clearance and demolitions, environmental effects studies and other statutory planning.

Market-led proposals

Body

In a market-led proposal (MLP), the private sector makes an unsolicited approach to government for support to deliver infrastructure or services through direct negotiation rather than a competitive procurement process. The state has considered many MLPs since early 2015, with four successfully advancing through the entire process to contract award.

Security of Government Buildings

Body

Government agencies face a real and credible threat to their physical security, and the safety of their client-facing staff. Unauthorised access to government buildings could cause significant disruption to orderly operation of services while antisocial behaviour puts staff health and safety at risk.

The audit focused on physical security as it relates to protective security, which also includes information and personnel security.

Appendix B. Detailed results from agency testing

To assess the accuracy and completeness of the ICT Dashboard we examined source data from projects reported by four of the agencies involved in this audit:

  • DHHS
  • DPC
  • MW
  • PTV.

We tested the information published on the ICT Dashboard for 18 ICT projects, and asked these agencies to provide source data or documentation to verify their published data.

Figure B1 shows a summary of the results from our detailed audit testing.
