  • Abstract:
    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine perceptions of Build-Own-Operate Transfer (BOOT) schemes in order to develop a framework of critical success factors (CSF). Design/methodology/approach – Success factors are identified from relevant literature and a project specific CSF framework is produced with key issues discussed. Discussion focuses on a case study of a current Australian BOOT project, the Sydney SuperDome. Findings – The SuperDome is proving to be an example of how both government and private industry is attempting to meet Australia's need for infrastructure in the new millennium. The project had a streamline finance process and project participants had an appetite for risk that exceeded the other tenderers. PPPs are now established as a worldwide means of developing public services with private sector finance and expertise. Originality/value – The SuperDome model is setting the benchmark for Australian BOOT projects, acting as the framework for future PPPs initiated by the NSW Government.
