6 Executive Summary Passenger Services in their capacity as taxi industry regulator recarried out 1565 Taxi Driver Registration tests during 2008-09 which is an increase of 555 from the previous year. New and existing drivers transported more than 11 million passengers in the last 12 months. Driver safety became a focus for the industry resulting in an awareness campaign being developed to help reduce anti social behaviour towards taxi drivers. Further initiatives have been developed that will improve driver and passenger safety including the Secure Taxi Rank Extension Trial. Hillarys Boat Harbour was one of four finalists at the Marine Industry Association’s 2009 Australian Marina of the Year awards held in Surfers Paradise in May 2009 and received an Award of Excellence. The Department awarded a contract for the construction of 43 new pens at Hillarys to help with increasing demand and 65 new pens were constructed at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. Woodman Point became the largest boat launching facility in WA with a total of eight public boat ramps. Greater awareness of marine safety in WA was achieved with 24,600 Recreational Skippers Tickets (RST) being granted over the year taking the total to 124,000. Regional Services provide the whole array of departmental services to regional WA communities, via their “one-stop shops” based in Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Carnarvon, Exmouth, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Karratha. Through the Licensing Business Unit, the Department is one of the highest contributors to Western Australia’s revenue base, providing funds for valuable community services. In 2008–09, the Department’s Licensing Business Unit collected over $1.465 billion in revenue. Practical Driver Assessments totalled 127,800 for the year and the number of vehicle licences issued increased to more than 2.3 million. Licensing was faced with managing the events that followed personal licensing information being released to Wilson Parking and Westralia Airports Corporation.
Following the discovery of this error in July 2008, a comprehensive investigation was carried out. Subsequently, a report on the outcomes from the investigation was tabled in Parliament on the 9 December 2008. 34 recommendations for improvements of the controls surrounding information released by the DPI’s Licensing Business Unit were accepted and implemented by the business unit over the following months. The whole incident acted as a catalyst for change within the business unit and significant improvements to operational process and protocols have been implemented and will continue to evolve. All of these outcomes occurred in addition to the Premier, Colin Barnett’s announcement on 8 April 2009 that there would be a restructure of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure into the Department of Planning. This involved all transport functions within DPI being transferred to the newly created Department of Transport. State Land Services and the Pastoral Lands Business Unit were transferred to the Department of Regional Development and Lands. Set up work was completed on schedule allowing all new arrangements to be in place on 1 July 2009. The cooperation of all parties involved led to the success of this transition. These changes present a great opportunity for all the Departments involved to have a stronger focus on important areas within State Government.
