4.0 PROJECT REPORTING STRUCTURE
4.1 Introduction
The current commercial agreement entered into between the project participants are summarised
below:
Under these current commercial agreements the project reporting structure is defined at two formal
levels consisting of:
1. The monthly Lessee (Optus) / Lessor (CMIL) Project Control Group (PCG) Meeting; and
The Contractor, BBW Project Manager, Fitout Project Manager, Common Superintendent
level.
The agenda and format of the Optus / CMIL PCG is strictly controlled by the lease and requires
formal attendance by the Lessee and Lessor Representatives only, and written reports by the BBW
(CMIL) Project Manager and the Fitout (Optus) Project Manager and the Common Superintendent.
Formal reports are prepared to inform CFSP, the Property Manager and other project team
members of the project’s cost, time, quality and safety status and to highlight key issues and
actions being undertaken or required.
In general terms, reports should be kept brief, with the emphasis on providing early warning of
potential problem areas. They should be forward looking in emphasis and record impending
action, as well as achievements during the reporting period.
The contents of typical reports should be progressively developed to meet the needs of the project
and client requirements but generally they should include the following outlined in Sections 4.2.1 to
4.2.2.

5.0 PROJECT MEETINGS
The primary purpose of meetings is to coordinate activities of the project to allow issues requiring
decisions to be discussed and, action to be taken by nominated parties by nominated dates.
Minutes of meetings are to be prepared and issued promptly after each meeting, usually within 48
hours. The minutes will note the time, place and attendance at the meeting and note what action is
to be taken, who will take that action, when the action will be taken, and any comments relating to
the action. The purpose of the minutes or action statements is to indicate the proposed action
rather than historical recording. Such minutes will serve as a checklist for the following meetings,
and the method of communicating between meetings.
Meeting attendees should not rely on the issuing of action statements before proceeding with
individual actions to be undertaken by them. It is expected that actions will be undertaken on the
basis of verbal directions issued at meetings prior to the formal issue of an action statement or
minutes.
Contractor site meetings are to be held fortnightly commencing from 7 July 2009. These meetings
are to be chaired and minuted by ISIS Projects.
Lessor / Lessee PCG Meetings will be held monthly, re-commencing in August 2009. These
meetings will be chaired and minuted by the Owners Representative, Eastview Commercial. This
will be high level reporting meetings between CMIL and Optus, which TPA and DTZ attending on
an ‘as required’ basis.

basis.
The contractor is entitled to submit claims for EOT’s where a delay in works affects the Date of
