Key Performance Indicators<br />

Reasons for Significant Variance<br />

The variance is due to a change in the scope <strong>of</strong> the<br />

TravelSmart program from 3 months <strong>of</strong> support to<br />

assist households to reduce their travel demand, to<br />

12 months <strong>of</strong> support for households to manage their<br />

demand for travel, but also for water, energy and<br />

waste. The change in scope has resulted in a four fold<br />

increase in the intensity <strong>of</strong> the program. The strategic<br />

rationale for changing the program scope was adopted<br />

as a Garnaut Review Case Study. In addition, there has<br />

been a realignment <strong>of</strong> KPI costs between TravelSmart<br />

and the Integrated Land <strong>Transport</strong> Policy Development<br />

programs.<br />

The variance is due to an overall increase in the costs<br />

associated with administering the Taxi User Subsidy<br />

Scheme, especially salaries, computer support services<br />

and the use <strong>of</strong> contract personnel. There has also been a<br />

slight decrease in the number <strong>of</strong> trips undertaken.<br />

A realignment <strong>of</strong> indirect costs associated with<br />

administering the grants was undertaken after the <strong>2008</strong>-<br />

09 target was set resulting in a 10.21% variance between<br />

the <strong>2008</strong>-09 target and the actual.<br />

The shipping service has been significantly impacted by<br />

the economic downturn in the resources industry in the<br />

North West leading to reduced tonnages per trip.<br />
