This empirical research explores various governance domains that interface with Public Private Partnership (PPP) project governance. By establishing the different intentions of PPP stakeholders by type, nuanced aspects of governance have been explored. Situations of conflict are used to further reveal where such different intentions between stakeholder subtypes exist and/or the roles of governance are changed. A landscape of PPP project governance is developed from which a reconceptualised stakeholder view of extant governance theory is advanced. Semi-structured interview has been used to establish the supporting evidence. An insider-positioned researcher—a PPP industry insider—has been used to gain privileged access to “elite informants”. Preliminary results identify a distinct single project intention, different to the array of commercial intentions specific to stakeholder subtypes. Competing stakeholder intentions are found which can threaten the one project intention, lay dormant as latent conflict, or explain how abuses of governance ideals become the accepted norm.
