The Controls Specialists Behind Australia's Biggest Projects

Perth-based. Independent. 25+ years embedded in Australia's most complex capital programmes.

Built on 25 Years of Project Controls Discipline

Targetplan was founded in Perth with one purpose: give project owners the independent controls capability they need to deliver major capital projects without the costly surprises that derail programmes.

Before Targetplan existed, owner organisations routinely discovered — too late — that their project data was unreliable, their schedules were aspirational rather than achievable, and their performance reporting obscured risk rather than exposing it. We built this practice to change that.

Operating from Western Australia, Australia's resource capital, we have embedded our controls frameworks across mining, construction, and infrastructure programmes valued from $100 million to $10 billion. Our independence is central to everything we do — we answer to the project, not the contractor.

Our Mission & Values

Every engagement is guided by four principles that are non-negotiable regardless of project size, sector, or stage.

Integrity

We report what the data shows — not what stakeholders want to hear. Honest assessment, even when uncomfortable, is what gives project owners reliable ground to stand on.

Expertise

Project controls is a discipline, not a checklist. We apply deep technical knowledge in scheduling, earned value, and reporting to create frameworks that work under pressure.

Independence

We hold no commercial relationships with contractors or software vendors. Our recommendations serve your project's interests alone — giving boards and owners genuine assurance.

Delivery

Strategy without execution is noise. We embed alongside delivery teams, configure tools, and stay engaged through the project lifecycle to ensure our frameworks translate into real outcomes.

Founder & Director — Targetplan

Targetplan was founded in Perth after more than two decades embedded in project controls across Australia's resource and infrastructure sectors. The practice spans some of the country's most demanding capital programmes — from major greenfield mine developments in the Pilbara to large-scale infrastructure corridors on the east coast.

Our technical grounding covers the full controls lifecycle — baseline scheduling, earned value management, and executive-level reporting. We have built controls frameworks from the ground up on projects where governance structures were absent or immature, bringing structure and rigour to complex delivery environments.

Our approach is methodical and evidence-based. Every recommendation is grounded in accurate data, aligned to industry methodology, and structured to withstand board-level scrutiny — translating project information into clear, reliable insights that support sound decision-making.
