- Summary:
-
The ANAO concluded that: (a) the complexity of the Authority's planning hinders the development of practical and useful performance information for management and accountability purposes; (b) a more comprehensive risk assessment would lead to an improvement in the day-to-day management of the Reef. The improvement would occur, partly through revision of the Authority's data requirements of the QDoE which conducts daya-to-day management subject to the Authority; (c) the Authority does not have adequate data to determine whether it is achieving its primary objective of protecting conserving and allowing for reasonable use of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. This lack of performance data has a flow-on effect to the development of strategies and plans to achieve these objectives, and on stakeholders'/agency's ability to assess the Authority's performance; and (d) the Authroity has inadequate data to report comprehensively to Parliament on its effectiveness as a result.
