Program Development

The Land Exchange has used the PRINCE 2 Project Management method as the standard for development and scoping of its projects.

A governance structure was put in place to provide overall direction and support for Land Exchange Program development and delivery. The Governance Model provides information on the Land Exchange Steering Committee, the Program Control Board, the Program Office, Business Assurance Group and Project Control Groups.

In August 2002 Ajilon Australia Pty Ltd was appointed to assist with Land Exchange project scoping activities and was subsequently appointed, through a separate public tender process to provide Land Exchange program management support.
