MARQUEZ COMMUNITY CENTRE CASE STUDY
1. Executive Summary
Due to building and development of Marquez community centre, the Australian families are able
to acquire houses as well as package of land at accurate prices. The reason behind this project is
that Marquez is growing at a fast rate and is expected to ultimately reach a population of 9,000
residents. They have limited community facilities along with residents to access to the grocery
store, children learning centre and others. Therefore, the building works provider’s resident
facilities to families. With various project benefits, success of the building project is based on
coordination as well as cooperation of the project stakeholders. In this project, the stakeholders
raise various project related concerns regarding cost as well as time; therefore it is required to
engage the stakeholders by providing them weekly updates on project progress. Communication
strategies are included in this project such as meeting and email and others so that each of the
project stakeholders can interact with each other. The local people are also get updates on the
information about this project plan regrading digital media strategies. This particular study
provided information on the risk factors which provided a high impact on project success rate.
Recommendations are provided based on the project activities which are required to implement
Marquez community centre. The project activities are included list of the project stakeholders
those are involved in the project plan. It is included project stakeholder management plan so that
all the internal and external stakeholders are properly managed to build the community centre for
the families and population of Australia. There is recommended to improve over the project cost
as well as time so that the construction of building work is carried out efficiently and perfectly.
Monitoring of the project benefits will realise after completion of the project plan. It will
determine if the infrastructure would be helpful to build the community centre.

MARQUEZ COMMUNITY CENTRE CASE STUDY
2. Background
The study is based on real Australian project where town of Rossi in state of Eastern
Australia was being established in the year 1950 to provide services to industrial stop 50 km
south of the capital city of Maverick passed on way to Port of Lorenzo, which is second city
within Eastern Australia. The industrial area of Rossi is provided required support to Eastern
Australia economical boom and help to create perception. Downtown in Australia will provide
effect in Rossi towards the economical circumstances towards 1970 which can lead to close the
industrial operations with loss of jobs as well as increase into social as well as economical
disadvantages. One of the outskirts of the town Rossi is smaller suburban community which is
called as Marquez. The suburb of Marquez is being growing at faster rate and it is expected to
reach the population of 9,000 residents. It is analysed that 85% of Marquez (south) in addition to
10% of Marquez (north) is being developed for the residential purposes.
With development of Marquez community centre, it allowed the families to acquire
houses as well as package of land at accurate prices. When there is an increase in unemployment,
then it will help to place economical as well as social pressure on the owners of home especially
on the young children. The proposed new Marquez community centre is suggested to include
library, IT training centre to help the elders to understand new and advanced technologies. The
other services are crèche, drug and alcohol counseling services, a social club, a café and a dance
studio. The main engagement of the project stakeholders are Australian government, local
people, business owners, project manager, project sponsor and others. The project can achieve its
main goals to build new community centre to provide houses to the families and young children.

3. Finance
The estimated cost of the new building is around $5million while town of Rossi is found
to be $0.5 million from the funds. There is a shortfall of the funding which is an amount of
around $2 million. The main funder of this project plan is Australian Government. It is required
to gather from local people as well as businesses. They are opening leading funds for supporting
the capital of this project where the benefits are increased and cash flow with reduction of
dependency on the Australian Government. The main focus of this project is to get more and
more benefits so that they can get success in their project.
4. Scope
4.1 In-scope activities
It includes facilities to be provided to Australia population so that they are more attractive
to their new builded community centre. The Marquez community centre will have following
scope in their new building such as:
 Access to the grocery store
 Pharmacy and doctor’s surgery
 Learning centres of children
 Building is planned to have only one floor
4.2 Scope exclusions
Apart from the scope of the project plan, there are other scopes which are even not
included in the project work such as:

 Library
 IT training centre to help the elders to understand new and advanced technologies
 Crèche
 Drug and alcohol counseling services
 Social club
 Cafe
 Dance studio
 Any other construction work should be funded by the investors of the Australian project
5. Objective
The main objective of this project plan is to construct as well as development of Marquez
community centre to allow the families for acquiring houses as well as package of land at
accurate prices. Due to residential facilities, Marquez is developed so that all the population of
that region can get staying facilities. Due to building of this new community centre, expected
population of Marquez by the year 2028 will become 6,587 which should be almost three times
more as compared to current population of the region. Most of the families are required to
combine dual income for meeting with mortgage repayments. Due to providing shelter to
families, it helps the country to reduce annual funding provided by Australian government so
that they can support building work of Marquez community centre.

6. Benefits
6.1 Increases in Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Increase into GDP is being affected by the number of residents and families those are
going to reside in the community centre. The construction of Marquez Community Centre will
provide facilities of residing as this region is increasing their population day-by-day. The
community centre will increase its internal services so that it leads to increase its residents that
will include Australia families. The community centre is open for the residents, workers as well
as visitors. The services as well as programs will tailor for meetings recreation as well as
teaching communities which are surrounding each centre. Below table will show estimated
increase in GDP due to building of new community centre.

6.3 Community infrastructure
The Marquez Community Centre will provide following benefits such as:
 Indoor as well as outdoor areas of the community which is required to meet
 Community centre for aged people and young children
 Access to the grocery store
 Pharmacy and doctor’s surgery
 Learning centres of children
It is seen that the community organization can use of above mentioned facilities. Due to
building of this new community, there is an increase in residents. The Community centre is for
families and aged people would dedicate to the governmental programs which are government
funded (Walker, 2015). Some of the residents suggested that the new community centre will

10
MARQUEZ COMMUNITY CENTRE CASE STUDY
include library, others have proposed an IT training centre to help elderly residents understand
new technology, and other options have included a crèche, drug and alcohol counseling services,
a social club, a café and a dance studio (Sears et al., 2015). The piece of land is smaller to
accommodate the services and in this case the building is to be planned with only one floor. It is
seen that dedicated facilities as well as services are to be available to residents.
6.4 Preservation and protection of the environment
This particular project work has provided with significant contribution to the
conservation as well as protection of biological diversities. The project plan is strived to reduce
cost by means of sustainable resources so that it can protect the environment (Burtonshaw-Gunn,
2017). By means of involvement of the environmental groups along with residents of Australia,
public education is provided to residents so that it can increase awareness about the
environmental concerns as well as increase contact of the Australian residents with the
environment. All the building work is to follow of environmental standards so that they can
maintain an environmental friendly construction work (Grover & Froese, 2017). Environmental
protection is required in the building work so that it should meet with its objectives to conserve
the natural resources along with existing natural environmental. Due to pressure into
overconsumption, there is growth in population as well as technology. The biophysical
environment is being degraded so that the residents can get proper residence for staying.
The main focus of environmental protection is green buildings. It is the economical
buildings which are dealt with the ecological problems in as well as outside of the building
premises (Banihashemi et al., 2017). There is high significance of the green building structures
to build an efficient building plan. Green building is a tool which can lead to increase an efficient
of building resources in form of the energy as well as materials which can reduce building

11
MARQUEZ COMMUNITY CENTRE CASE STUDY
impacts on the health of human plus environment. The green building structure can govern
reduction of wastes, lower cost plus less consumption of energy with environmental
compatibility. Innovative along with advanced technologies by means of new approaches will
tend to supplement current practices to make greener structures. By means of greener and
environmental protection standards, there is a standpoint of the ecological plus monetary
execution of the building project plan (Qazi et al., 2016). Following are the benefits of greener
buildings such as:
 Efficient and advanced technologies with easier maintenance
 Higher return of investments
 Improve over the quality of air
 Energy as well as water efficiency
 Protection of inhabitants
 Ecological construction for the poor people
 Healthier lifestyle in the community centre
 Improvement over the health of person who are working in the project and
those are going to reside in the building
 Reduction of wastes along with improvement over environmental pollution
