Main Roads WA established an Integrated Project Team (IPT) with Jacobs and Arup for the planning, development, design, construction procurement and construction management of the Great Northern Highway (GNH), Muchea to Wubin Stage 2 Upgrade Project. Comprising seven procurement packages over a 218km regional road north of Perth, the program has improved road safety, increase freight efficiency, contribute to sustainable communities and enhance the environment. Through the three completed packages, this has proven to be an extraordinarily versatile project management instrument for managing the development and delivery of an optimised rural road upgrade program.
