PRM701 Project Charter: Council Amalgamation and Reform Project

This project charter outlines the plan for a local government reform project involving the amalgamation of the City of Swan and the Shire of Maundaring.

The charter details project phases, initial risks (including scope creep, schedule escalation, and communication gaps), and stakeholder analysis (including suppliers, contractors, and union representatives). Key deliverables include better resource management, improved organizational structure, and enhanced customer service. The project budget is estimated at $1,960,629, and success criteria are defined in terms of scope, time, cost, and quality, with legal and other acceptance factors considered. The charter also identifies the project manager and approval requirements, providing a framework for the project's execution and oversight.
