Assignment 2: Project Risk Management Plan (RMP) Development
Figure 1 ‐ https://www.sydneymetro.info/
Figure 2https://www.sydneymetro.info/
Overview:
Sydney Metro is one of Australia’s biggest public transport project in 2018. The new standalone railway will
deliver 31 metro stations and more than 66km of new metro rail. Sydney Metro, together with signaling and
infrastructure upgrades across the existing Sydney rail network, will increase the capacity of train services
entering the Sydney CBD – from about 120 an hour today to up to 200 services beyond 2024.
As part of the team working on the project’s Final Business Case (FBC) for funding purposes, you have been
assigned to develop the Risk Management Plan (RMP) for the defined scope of project below from either
government or general Design and Contract (D&C) contractor perspectives. You are required to research
and find more details of this major project in order to successfully complete the assignment. The selected
scope of project for this assignment are three parts of Victoria Cross Station, Barangaroo Station and the
connecting tunnels between these two stations.
BLDG3012 Construction Risk, Health and Safety, Term 1, 2020 8
This is an individual assignment, 60% weighting, with a group presentation component, i.e. 15% individual
weighting. You will be asked to arrange yourselves into groups of 5. Large or smaller groups will need
permission from your lecturer.
Objectives:
 Demonstrate the significance of Risk Management Plan (RMP) to construction projects
 Develop and implement a proactive risk management process in construction projects aligning with risk
management standards of AS/NZS ISO 31000, ISO 31010, and Risk Engineering Society (RES)
Contingency Guideline 2019
 Follow risk assessment process including selection and application of appropriate risk analysis
 Address the different key aspects of risk management within the project team including risk culture, risk
appetite, risk perception, risk communication, risk threshold and risk exposure
 Apply a variety of risk treatment techniques and address optimum action plan decision making
 Identify, interpret and analyse stakeholder needs and expectations
 Identify constraints, uncertainties, risks and opportunities of the project (commercial, social, cultural,
legislative, safety, environmental, business, etc.)
Instructions:
 Establish an appropriate risk management context, including likelihood and consequence criteria,
escalation table, etc.
 Identify a major possible uncertainty or risk event with potential major positive or negative impact on
selected objective, e.g. technical, safety, commercial, etc.
 Prepare a Risk Management Plan (RMP) in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018
 Define the project boundaries and objectives carefully; you may need to simplify and define the
boundaries of your report (for example “looking only at commercial risks” only) in order to achieve the
word limit.
 Include relevant literature review.
 Show evidence of consideration of alternatives for risk management.
 Clearly state the risk tolerability criteria employed.
 Consider aspects beyond the texts and lecture materials i.e. value added discussion.
 Submit as a soft copy
BLDG3012 Construction Risk, Health and Safety, Term 1, 2020 9
 Reference correctly – not referencing sources correctly can lead to a mark deduction, and not
referencing sources at all (including pictures, diagrams, and photographs) can be seen as plagiarism
and can lead to disciplinary action.

Important Notes: Please note that the Assignment 2 Presentation requires group coordination since one
section depends on the next. So it is recommended that you discuss and set your group (each team should
have up to 5 members) as early as possible, hence you can plan for a group presentation.
Please also keep a copy of the assignment and ensure that you have completed and attached the
appropriate cover sheet to the assignment prior to submission.
UNSW has strict rules governing submission which will be applied fairly to all students. This means that
extensions to submission will only be granted on medical or compassionate grounds under extreme
circumstances and will not be granted because of other commitments. Requests for extensions must be
made in writing to the course coordinator prior to the due date. Medical certificates or other evidence must be
attached and must contain information that justifies the extension sought. Any permission for extension must
be attached to the project when submitted. For fairness to all students, late assignments, which have not
been granted an extension or have an attached permission will not be accepted. Late assignments will be
penalised in accordance with UNSW policy.
No primary data can be collected without proof of ethics clearance. This is a UNSW requirement which
applies to everyone studying and working at UNSW including staff and students. It means you can’t talk to
anyone formally about this, write to anyone for information or survey anyone with ethics clearance. Doing
primary data collection of any kind without ethics clearance will have serious consequences which include
expulsion from UNSW.
