(a) Funding in 2010-11 for the Road Safety Strategy 2008-2020 project encompassed expenditure on a dedicated salary to manage and develop a reporting and monitoring framework for the Strategy, plus printing associated with the annual review and costs of events such as planning workshops. Expenditure in these areas was also budgeted in 2011-12, as well as an amount for professional consultancy services.
(b) In 2011-12, on-costs for the 0.8 FTE salary component were attributed directly to the project. This was not the case in 2010-11. In 2011-12, a further $150,000 was budgeted for the appointment of a professional consultant to assist the Road Safety Council in setting meaningful intermediate performance targets to complement the overall target established in Towards Zero.
(c) Funds of $3,889 were expended on professional marketing services in 2010-11. At the time of end of financial year close, the budgeted $132,000 direct salary costs for the 0.8 FTE had not been recouped but had been fully expended by the ORS.
(d) In addition to the dedicated salary, funds for this project will be expended on the following sub-tasks:
· Quarterly Towards Zero implementation progress reports will be submitted to Road Safety Council;
· A professional consultant to assist in the development of final and intermediate outcome targets and institutional output targets;
· A process for monitoring performance against targets will be finalised and progress against targets will be reported through the annual report process; and
· An action plan for 2012/16 will be developed.
