NPR project of Brisbane is approved by the Australian government which has
some specific project process and areas by which this project is proceeding. Key
project areas and process are given below:
Project planning: It is the starting area of the project in which research and
assessment are done on the NPR of Brisbane which helps to identify and
selection of the area where this project can be implemented. Project initiation is
the key part of this starting phase of the project which helps in the proper
planning on the development of the project (Smith, 2002). The Brisbane airport
authority has researched properly to select the area for the development of the
new runway and designed the runway which has maximum utilisation of the
land and lowers environmental impacts on the airport during the flood, sea level
rise and storm surge.
Project objectives: It is another key area in which Brisbane airport authority has
determined the project objectives to develop the project accordingly.
Project risk: it is a part of the project development process in which different
types of risk is identified which can impact on the project which is related with
cost, time and influence of environmental factors on the development of the
project.
Value management: it is a process by which values are determined which is
essential for the NPR project in all of the stages of the project.
Project appraisal and risk management: the project is defined in the
implementers which support in the implementation of the project effectively.
Portfolio management process: It is a process which works to save the interest
of the investors in the project. NPR of Brisbane is a huge project which has need
of big investors so this process is effective to retain their interest in the project.
Investors are properly contracted under the Australian Contract Law.

It is essential to investigate the project properly which can help to the project
planner to analyse the key area in which improvement can be made and quality
can be managed. Total quality management is an effective technique to
investigate the project to implement some efficient factors in it (Love & Irani,
2003). TQM technique is focused on the project objectives which supports to
Brisbane Airport authorities to develop this NPR project. Business process re-
engineering tool is efficient to analyse the workflow design and investigate the
whole project according to the objectives. Process identification, updates and
analyse, design to be and Test and implementation are the key parts of this
process which helps in the NPR project.
