5.  PPP project governance

Consistent with project management in the ACT, each PPP project will be overseen by, and be the responsibility of the relevant portfolio minister. Procuring agencies are responsible for management and implementation of PPP projects, unless otherwise agreed by the Territory Government.

The Department of Treasury is the relevant PPP authority as defined in the national PPP guidelines. Treasury has whole-of-government responsibility for:

•  PPP policy and guidelines;

•  supporting and reviewing projects; and

•  monitoring and independently advising the Treasurer and government on significant PPP issues.
