Introduction

These National PPP Guidelines: Commercial Principles for Social Infrastructure ("CPs for Social Infrastructure") detail the Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments' current preferred commercial principles for social infrastructure public private partnerships ("PPPs").

In general, these principles apply to core services/accommodation type projects where the government payment is based upon availability and the facility reverts to government, at no cost, at the end of the concession term.

This document should be used in conjunction with the processes outlined in other National Public Private Partnerships Guidance material.
