Estate Planning Checklist

v5.5

Background

The handover of a project to the client at the end of construction is a very important stage of the project procurement process and facility operation success. A well organised, efficient and effective transfer of information from project works to the Commonwealth is essential.

Construction and maintenance works resulting in a Change of Occupancy, new or modified facilities, structures and infrastructure completed as major or minor works projects and delivered by CFI, PDS, CIOG, CASG, DSTG or EMOS or Sponsored works will require completion of the Handover / Takeover (HOTO) process.

To minimise issues during a project’s construction phase and streamline the HOTO process, it is essential to complete a broad range of estate compliance and Defence policy requirements at the conclusion of the planning and design phases, prior to construction. This can be achieved through early engagement, consultation and acceptance of outcomes with key stakeholders of the HOTO process.

The following sections of this document detail the requirements and actions required to be undertaken during the project planning and design phases, prior to commencement of construction. Completion of the Estate Planning checklist shall be facilitated by the project manager in conjunction with the head / managing contractor and subcontractors.

Instructions

The checklists contain text form fields (grey in colour) which can be accessed by positioning the mouse curser over the field and right click. The field is now open to insert text. Movement between these fields can also be achieved by utilising the TAB or arrow directional keys.

Multiple “text form fields” have drop down lists which enable the user to select the appropriate status of that individual indicator. These can be accessed by positioning the mouse curser over the down arrow on the right hand side of the text box and right clicking to open the list. Simply click on the required status.

The listed criteria may not be applicable to all projects, therefore in the "Status" column, a drop down box allows selection of "Required" or "Not Required".
