Introduction
The following is a project charter document made for the project of “Plan Infrastructure
Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” and it has focused on the planning infrastructure for long
term. The project would involve the development of the activities favouring the utilization of the
effective project management operations and development. The charter document would involve
the analysis of the project aim, high level project justification, project boundaries, key
deliverables, high level requirements, assumptions and constraints, overall project risk, project
objectives and success criteria, summary milestone schedule, approved financial resources, key
stakeholder list, project exist criteria, assigned project manager, responsibility, and authority, and
authority stakeholder analysis.
1. Aim
The “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” project aims for the
development of the Melbourne city by the year of 2026 making modification in the existing
infrastructure of the Melbourne and develop better plan for the infrastructure. The project
focuses on the management of the changes in the city with the growth of the population and
increment of the city requirements. The long term planning of the infrastructure would involve
the utilization of the resources for forming improved infrastructures in the city Melbourne. The
city would require the development and improved operations favouring the implication of the
effective activity development. The purpose of the project is to use the principles of the project
management and develop effective plan for the deployment of the effective infrastructure for the
Melbourne. The long term plan involves the utilization of the operations favouring the
implication of the effective construction and refurbishment operations in the city.

2. High Level Project Justification
The project of “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” is deployed
for development of the Melbourne city by the year of 2026. It would help in making
modification in the existing infrastructure and develop better plan for the infrastructure. The
growth of technology had made the needs and facility expectation of the people also to rise high.
The implication of the effective operation development had been resulted due to the requirement
of the people from the infrastructural benefits. The city of Melbourne had not been able to utilize
the modification of technology on a large scale. The implication of the operations had implied
for the improving the facility of forming the utilization of the activities supporting the
implication of the activities favouring the development of the infrastructure. It is required for
forming the improved services and facilities for the residents of Melbourne.
3. Project Boundaries
The project of “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” is deployed
for development of the Melbourne city by the year of 2026. It would help in making
modification in the existing infrastructure and develop better plan for the infrastructure. The
project is a construction and development project that would involve a number of activities
related to technology innovation and sustainable construction activities. The project has been
limited to the use of the sustainable refurbishment of the existing facilities and deployment of the
improved facilities for the people of Melbourne. The project development involves the utilization
of the facilities favouring the implication of the improved operation development. The project
would limits the activities to the Government approved construction and development
operations.
