Fulfilment of the JDA business plan and operations depends on the outcome of certain financial commitments and projections. Should these not materialise, there will be a variation in revenue streams that will affect the JDA's capacity to deliver.

Key areas of risk and assumptions are described below.

• CJMC's financial commitment is critical, and the initial and continued funding of the JDA for the Business Plan period must be maintained if its operational goals are to be achieved.

• Similarly, GPG's financial support from the Blue IQ fund is essential if the JDA and its SPVs are to deliver the flagship Constitution Hill and Greater Newtown projects. If GPG and CJMC do not provide this support, it will prove extremely difficult to find other resources to fund these activities at the levels necessary for success.

• A key assumption is that CJMC approves its capital expenditure budget, and GPG approves the Blue IQ fund budget, to provide the capital items that contribute to development of JDA projects

• Payments and financial transfers must be made efficiently and effectively to streamline JDA administration and cash flow

• JDA success also depends on efficient service provision from CJMC and related structures and stakeholders. Effectiveness of JDA operations requires that service delivery agreements between the CJMC and related utilities, agencies, commercial agencies and other service providers are maintained and policed effectively.

• The JDA is a high-profile, high-productivity organisation. A key assumption is that the JDA is able to recruit and retain high-calibre staff
