Abstract
The use of governance principles in projects implemented within the government sector provides tangible
benefits in terms of projects achieving the intended objectives. Governance of projects is often related to
the ability of organisations to demonstrate the ability to administer projects in line with organisational policy
thereby adhering to principles such as accountability, transparency and compliance to trends of good
corporate governance. Oversight in government projects often results in over and irregular expenditure as
well as projects running over the planned timeframes, largely because of the lack of integrated governance
systems to track, monitor and ensure project methodologies are followed. The purpose of this research was
to propose an integrated governance structure to be utilised in a municipal environment to assist departments
executing infrastructure projects.
