Part B: Development of Options for a Revised RREF Extensive modelling reported in the Options Paper indicated that doubling the ARIA did not bring about a significant change in overall outcomes as the additional weighting applied generally to only small rural populations. While the consultations identified rurality as a factor warranting additional weight, it was also recognised that increases in resource allocation flowing on from increased weighting of the ARIA in the RREF would result in higher performance targets for rural service providers rather than addressing the additional costs of service delivery associated with greater travel distances. It is seen as preferable to address these cost issues through other measures rather than increasing the weight of the ARIA in the RREF model, and this issue is discussed further in Part D of the <strong>Report</strong>. 4.7 RESOLUTION OF OPTIONS FOR WEIGHTING OF NEED VARIABLES Given the five variables make different contributions to the overall need weighting, reflecting the distribution of the scaled scores across LGAs, RREF options are prepared first without any further adjustment to weightings. To demonstrate the effects of adjusting weightings for selected variables, and to present a wider range of options for a revised RREF, models are also prepared in which the weightings for the socio-economic status variable: median household income, and the rurality variable: the ARIA, are doubled. <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> July 2001 48
Profiles of Need Variables Part B: Development of Options for a Revised RREF This section presents a profile of each of the five need variables. Each profile covers: • Full variable name and sources of data • A brief discussion of the main issues taken into account in the decision to include the variable, including issues of data availability and measurement; • A tabulation of scaled scores on each variable: this data is set out in full in Appendix 3 which detailed LGA scaled scores on each of the five variables; and • A map of each variable by LGAs; note that the variables are plotted on the maps in five categories, so that each category corresponds to two of the categories used in scaling the variables. <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong> July 2001 49
