Table 2: Milestone schedules and Success Criteria for the stadium development project

(Source: Perthstadium.com.au, 2015)

Our current project is segmented to different subtasks. Setting realistic milestones is one of the most important tasks for the smooth execution of the project (Kendrick, 2011). The current project commenced in July 2013 though inviting various organizations to undertake it.  The tendering process took place during the period August 2013 to December; 2013. Finally, in mid-2014, Westadium Consortium (WC) received the responsibility to undertake the project.  Before WC undertook the project, some pre-construction works took place at the site by KJV and half of these works were completed within November 2013. Designing team of the organization started developing the detailed design of the new stadium from mid-2014. Finally, the construction process commenced since late 2014.

Currently, the new stadium is under construction. The whole construction is expected to be completed by December 2017 (PerthNow, 2015). The future target for this project is making the stadium fully operational from March 2018. Although the construction work has just been started,  the first target is placing 8 tower cranes in the stadium area by 2015.  The next target in the timeline is starting seat installation from early 2016. According to the set timeline, installation of the bronze faced, will also start from early 2016. By the end of 2016, the large number of workers will be hired in the project to enhance speed. The playing surface will be finished by mid-2017.

2.4 Risk analysis and Constraint identification:

As we are part of a large project, analysis of risks is important for timely completion. As stated by Rybka and Bondar-Nowakowska, (2013) risk analysis is also important to limit the budget.

Change in Guidelines of Sports authorities: The stadium design indicates that it will be used to organize different sports including cricket, football, rugby etc. The current design of the stadium is developed according to the guidelines of these sports authorities. As it is a large project, it will take time to be completed. If the sports authorities such as FIFA or ICC change their rules and standards regarding the stadium, exiting design may need to be modified. It will cause adverse impacts on by both time and cost for successful completion of the project.

Damage of property caused by Supporters: WC is not only responsible for developing the stadium; it is also responsible for maintaining it when it will become operational. Often it is observed that the agitated supporters cause loss or damage of properties in a stadium. It will also affect the operating cost of new Perth Stadium.

Apart from this, it should be ensured that the stadium is being developed in a sustainable manner and it is not affecting the environment. On another hand, the Australian government also emphasizes providing comfort to spectators. Any change in environmental standards may require a change in construction design and material.

Time constraint for the project:   New Stadium development in Perth is a large project and it includes completion of several constructions such as multi-storied stadiums, road networks, and recreation centers. The construction work has just started in 2014 and according to the timeline; WC will complete it by December 2017. Due to the high complexity of designs, construction may not be finished within time.

2.5 Estimated Budget:

 According to the current plan, the stadium will require more than $1.1 billion to be built. However, about half of this fund will be collected from taxes paid by citizens. Rest amount is collected by a financial plan of WC.

2.6 Stakeholders of the project:

Stakeholders of the current projects are constructors-Brookfield Multiplex, project managers -Westadium Consortium, the Government of Western Australia. Members of WC except Brookfield Multiplex are Brookfield Financial, Brookfield Johnson Controls, and John Liang. Ponnappa, (2014) opined that the success of a project depends on the contribution of stakeholders in it. John Liang is responsible for asset management and equity investment. Brookfield financial is responsible for fund allocation and Brookfield Johnson looks after facility management activities. All these members are stakeholders of the new stadium development project. Apart from these local people of Perth can also be considered as stakeholders as the project may influence their lives also.

2.7 Lessons:

Western Australia is undertaking the project of stadium development in PPP model and it is part of the Burswood re-development process. Our team got the opportunity to take part in this project; we learned valuable lessons while working for WC. These are as follows,

Importance of Government support for large structure development: We, Lakhwinder and Navdeep, realized the importance of government support for large constructions while working in this project. In the case of our project, new stadium development in Perth, a huge fund is required for its successful execution. In this case, funding has not become of a problem as the government collected almost 60% of the total amount from taxpayers (PerthNow, 2015). Although there are environmental constraints, the government’s focus on attracting visitors helped to designers to reduce complexity caused by strict environmental standards.

Importance of provision of change:  As the proposed stadium is a multipurpose one, its design needs to be changed due to modification in any of the sports guidelines. Apart from this,   it may require to expand in future also. To avoid future problems the design is made flexible for changes.

2.8 Operating principle of teams:

The current project is being executed through the collaboration of different departments. Regular meetings are held among teams o these to discuss the status of work and new target development. However, each team sets their own course of action to complete their tasks.

3. Communication Plan:

The communication plan for the project is presented here through a communication matrix. The communication plan is important to execute operational activities and it is helpful for strategic planning (Kloppenborg, 2012).

Table 3: Communication plan

We, Lakhwinder and Navdeep implemented a meeting management process to finish our tasks.

Figure1: Meeting management process used by us

First gathering: Before beginning the assignment, we organized a disclosure meeting. In this gathering, we examined on the sub-undertakings, which we have to finish. In this gathering, we likewise chose the achievements, which will be finished to complete the entire undertaking on time. The two of us contributed similarly to set the achievements. Notwithstanding, we both assumed liability of a few assignments independently and we built up our own plans to complete these undertakings independently. There were a few assignments, which we chose to finish as a gathering. Anticipating these errands was done in a joint effort with one another. The ID of assets was another vital piece of our first gathering. We both utilized our insight to recognize which assets are required by us. As it was our first gathering, we likewise talked about the financial plan of our undertaking and created plans for subsidizing it. Anyway, such gatherings are masterminded at whatever point we expected to talk about on the present status of ventures.

Second meeting:  our second gathering was organized to apportion assets for the undertaking. As I am the director of our gathering, asset assignment was my obligation. I took three days to gather all assets. The second gathering was held following three days of first gathering. In this gathering, I   gave assets to another individual from our gathering, Navdeep. Although the gathering was masterminded by me, we both chose how to utilize these assets productively.

Third meeting: After the second gathering, we both began to finish our undertakings. It was imperative to know the advancement of errands. Navdeep imparted once every week for educating me in regards to the advancement. More often than not, we utilized messages for such correspondence. Despite the fact that Navdeep started such interchanges, I additionally educated him about the advancement in my part.

Fourth meeting: Both of us confronted diverse issues while finishing our errands. Once inconsistently, we met to talk about on the issues, which are making defer complete assignments. In these gatherings, we additionally created procedures for dispensing with issues. These gatherings are additionally used to recognize future issues and alteration of our present procedures.

4. WBS for new Stadium development in Perth:

Figure1: WBS for new stadium development in Perth

WBS improvement distinguishes subtasks for the consummation of the entire task (Randolph, 2014).WC is executing the undertaking in three dimensions. Deliverable of the first level is completed arena. Notwithstanding, the finishing of this dimension is subject to exercises of level two. Level two activities incorporate welcoming RFPs, choosing the task administrators, nitty gritty arranging of the venture and directing operational activities.  The Government of Western Australia began the procedure in 2013.   The associations, which are happy to attempt the undertaking, motivated adequate time to build up the proposition. In any case, in the wake of accepting these RFPs, the expert dissected all proposition and chose WC as the undertaking administrator.

After the finish of the offering process, WC began leading venture the executives exercise for the new stadium.  Developing plan of the arena was a standout amongst the most perplexing assignments among level 3 activities as the arena ought to have the capacity to host the two games and amusement occasions. Seating limit of the new arena is additionally substantial and it is guaranteed that the limit will be expanded in future. As the Western Australia expert concentrated on y giving observers fantastic administrations, WC required to plan the huge number of eateries and refreshment focuses. As the arena limit permits a huge number of guests consistently, transportation is a standout amongst the most critical variables for its smooth task.

WC is additionally accountable for the transportation foundation improvement at the encompassing area.  According to the proposition, the transportation framework of the new arena will incorporate both train and transport administrations. Aside from these, passerby connects on Swan River will likewise be utilized to clear the arena after an occasion. In this way, the planning process directed by WC likewise included structuring of a six-stage railroad station in arena region, transport terminuses and passerby connect (Perthstadium.com.au, 2015).  The arena additionally required to be produced by the rules of various games occasions and it expanded trouble of the entire procedure. On fulfillment of the structuring process, WC expert began another level 3 activities including asset portion, setting achievements and procuring staffs.

Before WC initiated the development procedure, the nearby specialist began leading pre-development exercises in arena ground. About half of these works completed before the fundamental development was begun. Different exercises of this dimension, for example, the establishment of seats, improvement of the arena and creating grass surface are yet to be wear
