External Approvals for Engineering Infrastructure Projects
The Manual and Guidelines are to assist in obtaining external approvals for engineering infrastructure capital projects, including developer funded works. They include the Preliminaries to Works process and replace the Preliminaries to Works Manual.
The manual assists Corporation staff, consulting engineers and authorised contractors to comply with relevant legislation eg the Water Agencies (Powers) Act 1984, the Environmental Protection Act, and other statutory requirements. The manual details Corporation policy for notification of works proposals and subsequent approvals from other authorities and decision making organisations.
The manual links to a set of Guidelines for the various approvals. Because of the varied nature of the Corporation’s capital projects, there may be types of works and approvals not covered by this manual. This manual, which is comprehensive for most projects, does not remove the responsibility from project managers to identify and obtain all approvals necessary for a specific project.
The Manual should be used as a checklist and reference from planning through to handover.
Capital Investment Branch will update the Manual and Guidelines on the Corporation’s Business Management System with input from other Branches. All suggestions for improving the content of the Manual should be sent to the Capital Investment Branch Process Improvement consultant, at John Tonkin Water Centre, Leederville using the email address CIBPA@watercorporation.com.au or by ringing 9420 3059.
