  5. DECISION QUALITY ISSUES • ARTIFICIAL SCHEDULE PRESSURE: Time invested now will save overall project time and mitigate schedule risk. • “CONFIRMATION BIAS” BY PROJECT PROPONENT: Bias towards evidence that supports an existing proposal is inevitable. • COMPARISON OF FACTORS: Relative weighting of factors (e.g. cost & schedule vs socio- economics) is always challenging. • FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUESTS BY THE PUBLIC ARE LARGELY INEFFECTIVE CONCLUSION • AN INDEPENDENT TECHNICAL AUDIT OF ALTERNATIVES IS ESSENTIAL TO DECISION QUALITY 5 Presentation by C.C.

  6. SUMMARY • “Cut & Cover” in St Kilda Road is extremely disruptive and has very high cost and schedule risk • The alternative of the verge of the Shrine precinct has the potential to mitigate all concerns • The Shrine Precinct option has not been evaluated at all. • In light of the magnitude of the impacts of cut & cover in St Kilda Road, this boundary condition needs to be challenged.
