Since the introduction of the GRP in 2003, over 90 projects with a total estimated investment of over $14 billion have had more than 120 reviews completed.
Of the SRO’s that have provided feedback (greater than 80 per cent), all agreed that the Gateway Review undertaken on their project was beneficial and will impact positively on the outcome of their project.
A recently completed independent review of the Gateway Initiative, has also determined that:
the Initiative’s first component, the Gateway Review Process, helps identify problems early to allow time for their remedy;
the Initiative’s second component, the Multi-Year Strategy, has improved the alignment of asset projects with Government strategic objectives and department plans but, importantly, the lack of sharing of the Multi-Year Strategies among Departments is weakening Gateway’s objective of better whole-of-government planning;
the Initiative’s third components, Business Cases, are useful decision-making tools for Departmental Secretaries and Government to determine how asset procurement should best occur; and
based on the lessons learned from over 100 Gateway Reviews a publication entitled ‘Commonly Identified practices that limit project success*’, has been produced to share generic lessons learned.
