1) Defence Project Officer (known from this point on as the Regional Project Officer (RPO)) develops a Site Selection Brief.

Brief to include:

• Purpose of project.
• Background information relating to project including budget; personnel affected; any known design or site constraints for the project.
• Requirement for Regional Review
• List of potential sites.
• Maps of potential sites and locality plan to be attached. All site maps should include a scale and north point.

The Site Selection Brief serves as a cover note to brief all interested parties including the approval authority on the nature and scope of the project. It should detail any known key project issues and impacts in relation to the potential sites chosen. It ensures that all Subject Matter Experts have the requisite information to undertake a preliminary review and evaluation of the proposed sites and potential impacts.

The site and locality maps should enable the potential sites to be easily identified and should remove any uncertainty regarding their locations on the base.

Site Selection Brief completed, and is included with the Minute in Step 6.
