DRD END-OF-YEAR REPORT ON PUBLIC SERVICE AGREEMENT AND BUSINESS PLAN TARGETS FOR 2007-08
The
Department conducts a quarterly monitoring exercise to report on progress against our Public Service
Agreement (PSA) and Business Plan targets that were recorded in the Business Plan 2007-08. The End-of-Year
Report for 2007-08, that records the position at 31 March 2008, has been approved by the Minister.
Of the eight 2005-08 PSA targets, three were on track for achievement,
three were achieved, one is likely to be achieved but with some delay and one was not achieved. Progress
against the 55 Business Plan targets can be summarised as follows:
- 43 achieved
- 1 substantially achieved;
- 1 on track for achievement; and
- 10 not achieved.
Full details can be found in the Report itself. It should be noted that
there were originally 57 Business Plan targets contained within the DRD Business Plan 2007-08. However,
two targets (3.4 & 3.5) were formally closed off in the third quarter of 2007-08 following
the transfer of responsibility for Planning Policy Statements on both Housing and the Coast from DRD
to DOE.

of:
- Supporting the economy by maintaining and developing safe and
sustainable transportation networks; promoting airport and harbour services; addressing regional imbalance
in infrastructure;
- and shaping the long-term future of the region; and

of the environment by maintaining and developing the policy and regulatory environment which provides
sustainable, high quality water and sewerage services.
The Business Plan outlines how DRD will make a difference in the year
ahead. It also includes the Department’s Balanced Scorecard which details our targets for 2008-09 as
