Managing risk

A risk is an issue that may have significant negative impact on the project goals, process of community engagement or even whether the project will be completed.

Risk includes:

  • the probability that something bad will happen, or a necessary thing will not happen
  • an estimation of the consequences.

A risk assessment and associated action plan are conducted during the planning phase, based on the information available at the time. Risk assessment is an ongoing process.

For more information refer to Risk management.
