1.6.3  Acknowledgment

(a)  The private party will also be required to acknowledge that government, in performing any of its duties and obligations, is not obliged to exercise any power, function or duty within the responsibility of any other government agency, or to influence, override or direct any government agency in the proper exercise of its legal duties and functions. For these purposes, a government agency includes a government, semi-governmental, municipal, statutory or other public entity or authority.

(b)  The private party will also be required to acknowledge that nothing in the Project Contracts restricts or requires the exercise of any right or power of government to develop, manage or change any network relevant or related to the project. For example, with respect to a tollroad project, government is entitled to exercise or not exercise any right or power they would otherwise have had to construct or upgrade new tollroads or other roads, construct or upgrade new or existing public transport routes or services or otherwise implement government transport policies.
