Introduction:
In the field of project development stakeholder management is one of the most essential
element as stakeholders of a project holds a major influence to the project outcome. Thus, in the
project development process every stakeholder present in a project holds some interest towards
the success of the project (Oyeyipo et al., 2019). Since, all of the stakeholders present in a
project has different interests thus, it influences the decision making capabilities of a project.
The nominated project is to develop a road from western Sydney to south western Sydney
in order to connect these areas with port botany and Kingsford Smith Airport. This project is also
related to railway project. In this project it is identified that there are several factor which
influence the success of the nominated project.
Considering these aspect this paper will discuss about the government systems and
stakeholder related to this project. In order to elaborate this it will consist a detail discussion on
stakeholder management.
Project Description:
The nominated project has aimed to construct a road between western Sydney and south
western Sydney in order to connect both the areas with port botany and Kingsford Smith Airport.
The primary objective behind this project is to construct a motorway with the length of 33km
which needs to be delivered within 2023. The total project cost is around $16.8 billion along with
the contribution of $1.5 billion by the Australian Government. Along with these concern one of
the most essential factor in this project is around 14km of this road will be above the ground and

Project Issue:
As it is discussed earlier that the nominated project is one a road construction project one
of the most related factors in the project like government factors as well as the political factors.
While analyzing this concern it with the nominated project it has been noticed that in this project
there is a lack of stakeholder management as the stakeholders present in this project is not
effectively identified along with this the roles and responsibilities of its stakeholders are not
identified, which can cause a huge blunder to the project (Jones, Wicks and Freeman 2017). As it
is already mentioned that the project needs to be delivered within 2023 it is very essential to
focus on this area. As per the above discussion in every project development plan it is very
essential to effectively manage the stakeholder and their interest however, in case of construction
project it is important to manage the project stakeholder.
During the investigation on the issues of this project it is identified that environment
issues and the government issues are one of the major conflict that is disrupting the success of
this project. While analyzing this concern it is identified that lack of government compliance and
regulation has caused a major conflict (Bosse et al., 2019). Thus, from this discussion it is
identified that in this project development process there is a huge necessity to manage the
government stakeholders. Along with this aspect it is identified that in this project political issues
and the social issues are very significant. Those includes miss-communication with communities
and less collaboration with the public as well.
Project Stakeholder Management Plan:
Thus, from the above discussion it is identified that the nominated project is mainly
facing the problem related to the stakeholder management due to which it is also facing several
conflicts especially with the government related factors (Harrison, Felps and Jones 2019).
