2.  Coverage of the policy and Guidelines

The national PPP policy and guidelines apply to all PPP projects entered into by Northern Territory budget sector agencies, unless a specific government decision advises that other policies and practices will apply.

Application of the policy to infrastructure delivery by a government owned corporation (GOC) will be determined on a project by project basis, based on the recommendations of the board of the GOC and consideration by the shareholding and the portfolio ministers.

As the minister responsible for PPP policy and practices in the Northern Territory, the Treasurer is responsible for developing and overseeing application of the national PPP policy and guidelines in the Northern Territory. The Treasurer is also responsible for Northern Territory contributions towards further development and enhancement of the national PPP policy and guidelines.

Infrastructure Australia (IA) is responsible for the national PPP policy and guidelines. With the assistance of IA , the Council of Australian Government (COAG) will monitor, review and from time to time refine the national PPP policy and guidance material. COAG is responsible for approving substantive changes to the national policy and guidelines.
