10.2 Governance & controls
Delivering a R2.85 billion programme of this complexity requires institutional-grade governance. The Company will operate a board with independent representation, dedicated project-management and cost-control functions for the capital programme, robust financial reporting, and the covenant-monitoring and reporting infrastructure that development-finance lenders require. A debt-service reserve account and defined financial covenants (Section 13) provide the lender-protection framework.
NoteExecution capacity is the variable to underwrite
For a programme of this scale, delivered across five phases and multiple worksites, project-execution and cost-control capability is as important to the outcome as the commercial thesis. Development-finance diligence should test the depth of the project-management function, the procurement and contracting approach, and the governance around drawdowns and milestones. The phased structure and the established operating base mitigate execution risk, but it remains a central item for lender oversight.
