3RESEARCH METHODOLOGYSection 1Introduction The research proposal is developed to focus on the various ways by which risks areallocated during the management of public private partnership projects within the Australianconstruction industry. The research is undertaken to find ways by which risks will be allocatedand managed in the PPP projects during the management of construction activities between thepublic and private parties involved within the construction industry of Australia (Hwang, Zhaoand Gay 2013). Research background The background of the research illustrates the impact of issues on the public privatepartnership projects and handles those with ease and effectiveness. The public privatepartnership is an effective procurement strategy that has influenced the construction activitieswithin the Australian construction industry and due to this, certain risks are emerging as wellincluding the differentiating attributes of the projects and high costs involved to resolve thoseissues properly. By allocating the risks in PPP projects, it has also become easy to obtainknowledge and information and create opportunities for managing the risks with ease.Inadequate information and data are also other risks that have been allocated while managing thepublic private partnership projects within the construction industry of Australia (Cheung, Chanand Kajewski 2012). Though the public private partnership involves a contractual agreementbetween the public agency and private sector entity with skills, knowledge and assets beingshared along with the facilities and services, various issues have arisen that are needed to beallocated properly for successful project functioning.

4RESEARCH METHODOLOGYResearch rationale The rationale of the research demonstrates the research problems faced while managingthe public private partnerships and few of these risks are higher cost of development, bidding andmanagement of construction sites, high cost attached to debt, politically and socially challengingprojects, strict rules and regulations by law and Government. There could also be complexitiesassociated with the risk allocation during the public private partnership projects when thedocuments and parties were not anticipated during the contractual agreements (Osei-Kyei andChan 2015). Gaps in knowledge and opportunities could arise due to lack of authenticatedarticles and documents that would be needed for extracting the best quality data and informationproperly. These problems should be overcome by developing new private sector technologiesand enabling innovation all throughout for delivering better public services and improving theoperational effectiveness too. Research aimThe aim of the research is to determine the ways by which risks are allocated for thepublic private partnership projects within the Australian construction industry. Research objectives To conduct a critical study relating to the present situation of considering the publicprivate partnership within the construction industry in AustraliaTo evaluate the most relevant public private partnership procurement strategies and casestudies within the Australian construction industryTo conduct surveys and obtain data and information from the people about the allocationof risks in PPP within the Australia construction industry
