ABSTRACT: Ipswich City Council (located in Queensland to the west of Brisbane) has developed the City of Ipswich Transport Plan (iGO) that outlines Council's aspirations to advance Ipswich's transport system and to guide future investment decision making.
As part of developing iGO, there were many project management processes (both positive and negative) that were learnt that can act as lessons for other local governments and state agencies when developing a strategic planning document.
Lessons learnt include project drivers, initiation, scoping, branding, budgeting, governance, reporting, media, stakeholder and Queensland Government engagement and the management of political expectations.
NOTE: The project management processes of developing iGO will be included in the paper / presentation. Whilst some of the key outcomes of iGO will be included for contextual purposes, the details of iGO will not be included in the paper / presentation.
