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 />
