         1.    Introduction
         This Management Plan provides guidance on the minimum requirements and content of Chain of 
         Responsibility (CoR) Management for XX Project 
         This Management Plan is to ensure that XX Project and its Supply Chain Partners meet their CoR 
         responsibilities under the Heavy Vehicle National Law. 
         This Management Plan does not, in any way, replace, reduce or limit XX Project, its Supply Chain Partners
         responsibilities, or liability, under the HVNL, Heavy Vehicle National Regulations, State Road Rules and 
         Australian Vehicle Standards. XX Project is responsible for ensuring that all Supply Chain Partners comply 
         with all aspects of the HVNL.   
         XX may, require Supply Chain Partners to implement additional measures and/or controls for managing 
         risks arising from heavy vehicles in order to meet the basic requirements of HVNL. 
         On approval of the Project Risk Assessment, this plan is to be reviewed to ensure that the risk are 
         controls are covered in this plan. In addition, any sections, which are not applicable, are removed from 
         this plan.  
         2.    Scope
         This Plan applies to all transport activities involving heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes gross heavy vehicle 
         mass (GVM), speed and fatigue regulated heavy vehicles, as defined in the HVNL, that are engaged in 
         the delivery of the XX works. The FRC-CoR-02-00 National Heavy Vehicle Classification Guide will be used
         to determine if Heavy Vehicle National Legislation applies. 
         The scope includes any HVNL works undertaken in connection with the XX Project, including but not 
         limited to;
         • Transport of equipment, plant, materials and people;
         • Removal of site materials (spoil);
         • Delivery of construction materials;
         • Any unloaded mobilisation or return journeys. 
         Either travelling to, or from, any site or working areas at which any of the Project works are being 
         undertaken.
         In this Plan, CoR compliance covers all areas of heavy vehicle compliance:
         • Mass limit management.
         • Dimension limit management.
         • Load restraint requirement management.
         • Speed management.
         • Fatigue management.
         • Heavy Vehicle Safety and Roadworthiness management
         3.    Definitions
         All terminology in this plan is taken to mean the generally accepted, or, dictionary definition. Other terms
         specific to CoR are defined in the HVNL and relevant guides. Other terms and acronyms specific to this 
         plan are listed below:
