December 2010. Subsequent approval of the
Enterprise Agreement was required from four
Victorian Government Departments, which was
achieved by 14 June 2011. An employee
ballot conducted on 27 June 2011 supported the

the Human Resources Strategic Plan 2011–2015.
The plan’s term was increased from the original
three-year to a four-year period to be in line with
the Corporate Plan. A Project Manager has been
engaged to undertake this work in 2011–12.
d. A Project Manager undertook the development
and completion of a workforce report covering the
period 2011–2030. Workforce metrics, statistical
information and Line Manager inputs were
collated to form an understanding of the current
environment, for executive information. The report
also addresses the State Services Authority’s six
strategic goals for workforce plans.
Action 29
Continue to manage RBG Melbourne’s and RBG
Cranbourne’s botanical, horticultural and landscape
resources to the highest curatorial standards, so as
to conserve their biodiversity, horticultural and
heritage values in the face of climate change.
RBG Melbourne reviewed and updated its Living
Plant Collections Plan. This document is a blueprint
for the collections and defines the roles of the
collections and sets aims and objectives for each of
them. One critical inclusion is information to ensure
that collections development and maintenance takes
into account Melbourne’s future climate projections.
Following on from the Living Plant Collections
Plan review in 2010–11, RBG Melbourne will
systematically review its Collections Management
Plans. A total of 31 collections plans will be reviewed
by a Collections Support Group, with input from
Curators and Co-ordinators. The review of each
of these collections will inform an action plan to
set priorities within each collection for 2011–12.
