Auditor-General for the Northern Territory February 2023 Report Page 100 of 131 Youth Justice Facility cont Performance The Project Plan includes a project assurance and evaluation requirement in order to assess if the delivery of the Darwin Youth Justice Centre was successful. This section of the Plan requires the completion of certain tasks during the Project lifecycle, namely: 1. Health Checks 2. Lessons Learned Register 3. Project Close-Out Report 4. Outcome Realisation Plan The Plan identifies 4 health checks to be completed during the project lifecycle. The first of 4 health checks, titled The Health Check Review, New Youth Justice Centres Project Procurement and Delivery was completed in April 2019 by external consultants. This health check identified 10 recommendations, of which 6 were listed as critical, with the overall delivery confidence assessment stating Critical and urgent issues exist that require executive management attention. The reviewer concluded that the project may need re-baselining and/or the overall viability re-assessed. At the time of audit fieldwork no further progress had been made on the outstanding items nor had any of the other health checks been conducted to ensure these recommendations had been addressed. The development of the Outcomes Realisation Plan commenced in July 2021, however had not been completed at the time of audit fieldwork. There was no Lessons Learned Register at the time of the audit.
