PROJECT MANAGEMMENT PLAN
Project management plan
1. Introduction
The paper mainly focuses on the level crossing removal of Buckley Street, Essondon that
is considered as one of the key arterials in inner North West of Melbourne that mainly connects
Keilor as well as Avondale heights in the west. The boom gates of the Buckley Street are down
for about 78 minutes in the morning and as result, the traveller faces congestion as well as
disruption while passing. In order to resolve this problem, the Victorian government took an
important step and as per it, they wants to remove the level crossing at Buckley Street so that the
passengers can easily travel and which further can be able to reduce traffic congestion as well as
assists in improving safety.
