Horwath HTL was engaged by the Waitangi National Trust to prepare a Business Case for the Māori Battalion Museum development on the Waitangi Treaty Grounds at a standard that meets national government requirements.

Project Scope

The Business Case includes the following content:

Strategic Case (investment objectives, key strategic risks, high level objectives’ alignment)
Economic Evaluation (cost benefit analysis, including any benefits for regions other than the applicant)
Project Plan (procurement process, key project requirements to be used in the procurement, project timeline, key project risks)
Operational Budget (including capital expenditure and operating expenditure, any secured co-funding, capital and operational funding required, and any funding shortfall)
