Key Performance Indicators

1.1 How did your agency determine which Key Performance Indicators to Report On?

The Agency has recently undertaken a comprehensive review of its performance management framework resulting in a revision of the Outcome Based Management Structure giving rise to changes in the services and key performance indicators. The New Structure is linked to the Government's Better Planning Better Futures strategic planning framework and the performance indicators better reflect the Department's efficiency and effectiveness in delivering the stated outcomes and services. The review was undertaken in consultation with Department of Treasury and Finance.

1.2 To what extent do you monitor your performance indicators on an ongoing basis, and ' use the resulting performance information for managing your agency?

One of the main drivers in undertaking the review of the performance indicators was to develop more meaningful performance indicators that would be used as part of the ongoing management of the agency. Accordingly, in addition to the review of the Outcome Based Management Structure, we are currently looking at the development of additional indicators based around the balanced scorecard so as to provide a more holistic view of organizational performance. These indicators would then be reported to corporate executive on a quarterly basis.

1.3 How have you used the results of your performance monitoring to drive improvements in your agency's performance?

See response to question 1.2.

1.4 To what extent have you incorporated the community's priorities into the performance indicators you have established, how these are expressed and how performance information is reported?

The current performance indicators measure the agency's . contribution towards its outcomes and services contributing towards the Government's Better Planning Better Futures strategic planning framework. The performance indicators have been developed according to the requirements under the Government's Outcome Based Management Framework, which expresses external services the DoW provides to the community to achieve it's outcomes. The development of the balanced scorecard will include an evaluation of stakeholder satisfaction including an assessment of the effectiveness in meeting community needs.

Commonwealth State financial relations (cost shifting)

1.5 Does your agency receive funding from the Commonwealth?

The Department of Water (DoW) and previously as The Water and Rivers Commission (WRC) has received funding from a number of Commonwealth-State funding arrangements.

Major new initiatives for 2007/08 include access to National Water Initiative Funding through the National Water Smart Program and Raising National Water Standards Program. DoW and formerly WRC continue to receive funding directly and indirectly through other Government and non-Government organisations for Commonwealth funded arrangements including National Heritage Trust (NHT), National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAP) and Coastal Catchments Initiative (CCI).

a) For what purpose is the funding provided?

See attached table.

b) What is the amount provided for each of the past five years?

See attached table.

c) What impact has the funding had on your agency? (Include comment on the impact of variations to the funding received)

National Water Initiative Funding

Upon signing the National Water Initiative in April 2006, Western Australia became eligible to access Australian Government funding under the $2 billion Australian Government Water Fund. The Fund consists of three programs: • $1.6 billion Water Smart Australia Program; • $200 million Raising National Water Standards Program; and • $200 million Community Water Grants Program.

The DoW will receive $16.5 million from the Water Smart Australia Program over the next three years, which will enable the Department to progress the following projects: • Integrated water resource management for the Collie Catchment; • Support for a statutory water plan for the Gnangara Mound; • Statutory water planning in the ; • South-West groundwater areas management plan.

NHT/NAP/CCI

In 2007/08 DoW expects to receive $25.1 million through NHT/NAP/CCI initiatives. This includes $0.8 million for CCI provided directly from the Commonwealth Government and $24.3 million for NHT/NAP provided indirectly through other government and non-government organisations. This funding has supported the work of the following 11 Sub-programs across the DoW business: • Water Resource Use - Water Allocation Planning - Water Licensing • Water Resources Management - Drainage and Waterways - Salinity and Water Resource Recovery - Water Science - Water Source Protection - Water Resource Assessment • Water Resource Business Operations - . Kimberley Region - Kwinana/ Region - Measurement & Water Information - Mid West Region - Pilbara Region - South Coast Region - South West Region - Swan-Avon Region

NHT/NAP/CCI sought to: • Enhance the delivery of water management priorities where State Government consolidated funding was limited in 2005/06. • Align with Regional , NRM Strategy priorities signed off by the State and Commonwealth Governments. • Address priority activities identified in the Bilateral Agreement between the State and Commonwealth Governments.

Access to NHT/NAP/CCI funding has enabled DoW (and its predecessors) to enhance the delivery of water management priorities where State Government consolidated funding was limited, particularly in the delivery of waterways management and water science development. These funding programs have also enabled DoW to support the delivery of regional water management priorities that, whilst a DoW priority, were not scheduled in a timeframe relevant to the regional group

1.6 Have Commonwealth and State responsibilities for your areas of operation changed significantly over the last 5 years? If so how has the funding for these operations changed?

In relation to water resources management and water reform, all State Governments are , signatories ,to the National Water Initiative which provides the framework for shared resourcing of water resources management, previously the separate constitutional responsibility of State Governments. The National Water Initiative was signed in 2004 by most State Governments, and Western Australia joined in April 2006.

While the areas of responsibility for water resources management have not changed significantly for State and Territory Governments, the additional participation and interest by the Commonwealth Government has resulted in significant additional resources being made available to support water resources management. For example, the $2 billion Australian Government Water Fund provides funding in three programs: Water Smart Australia, Raising National Water Standards and Community Water Grants. Some of the funding from these programs has been provided by State and Territory Governments to assist a range of water initiatives, including infrastructure costs, water resources planning, measurement and monitoring, consistent with the priorities of the National Water Initiative.

More recently, the passage of the Commonwealth Water Act 2007 has given clearer and additional functions to the Commonwealth Government, particularly in relation to water planning and man~gement in the Murray Darling Basin. However, the Act has also expanded the powers of the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) to collect and manage water information from State and Territory agencies for the national benefit. The Bureau has been provided with additional funding to enable State 'and Territory Governments to improve their current effort in water information collection and distribution. 1.7 Are there areas of your operations where Commonwealth and State responsibilities overlap? If so, how has the funding for these operations been negotiated?

There are relatively few areas of responsibility of the DoW that directly overlap with the Commonwealth Government. Where there is potential for this to occur in instances where activities might be complementary or similar (for example in the collection and dissemination of water information) then DoW attempts to adopt a cooperative and partnership approach to minimise the incidence of duplication and wasted effort. For example, DoW is currently negotiating with the BoM about funding complementary activities in water information collection and management.

Improving processes

1.8 What actions have your agency taken to review existing processes and to either eliminate unnecessary processes or streamline processes?

The DoW is committed to reviewing its business processes on an ongoing basis in order to continuously improve the services that we deliver. Two recent reviews have been the review of the Outcome Based Management Structure (OBM) and the review of the business planning process. The OBM review was undertaken in order to improve the relevance of the efficiency and effectiveness indicators. A review of the business planning process has also been undertaken in order to get a stronger alignment between resource allocation and business priorities.

Office of Shared Services

1.9 The Committee notes that adjustments have been made in the budget for agencies who will be rolled into the Office of Shared Services. However, the implementation of the Office of Shared Services is behind schedule:

i) What ramifications does this have on the operations of your agency?

The department is yet to roll into shared services. Consequently it is unable to able to determine what departmental ramifications will result from the future delivery of corporate service processes by the Office of Shared Services.

ii) What impact does this have on the budget of your agency?

The agency's budget was initially reduced by $816,000 for 2007-08. A recent decision by the Expenditure Review Committee has resulted in the funds being re­ appropriated to the department.

1.10.1 How will your agency manage the data migration and data cleansing project for rolling into Shared Services?

The DoW is in the process of forming a dedicated project team to coordinate the implementation of agency actions to roll into Shared Services. An integral component of the roll-in strategy will be analysing existing databases and information and undertaking cleansing and migration actions. The DoW is fortunate in that much of its information for finance, assets, procurement and middleware systems are Oracle and similar versions to that software used by the Shared Service centre. The DoW will need to carefully plan and review data for our human resource systems and processes.

The DoW has the necessary skills to manage the transition. 1.10.2 Are your agency's staffing levels adequate during this roll-in stage of the project?

The DoW is yet to scope the extent of work required for data cleansing and migration. Whilst we operate similar systems to Shared Services, it is estimated (based on the experience of other agencies) that considerable resources will be required during this stage. There is no central funding for this initiative and resources will be need to be found from within the department's existing appropriation.

Fees and Charges

1.12 Does your agency set out the process for calculating fees and charges in your Annual Report? (Please provide reference page number and annual report year) No.

1.13 If no to the above, where is this information contained? ( please provide information as to where this information can be obtained)

The primary source of fees and charges relates to water licence fees, with information regarding the process for licence fees contained in a Fact Sheet on the DoW's website www.water.wa.gov.au lnformation has also been posted to all licence holders.

Fees are related to classes based on the volume of water 'entitlement' to a licence holder in a given water resource management area. There are eight classes in the schedule of fees, and the water entitlement determines the class of a licence and the fee payable. There is also an application fee for each new licence application.

Whilst the initial intention was to fully recover the cost of administering water licences, recent amendments by Parliament will result in a portion of the total costs being recovered.

Information systems control I security and quality of agency information

1.14 Please provide detail of the action, if any, taken by your agency to review the six categories of information systems control highlighted by the Auditor General namely:

• Information resource strategy and planning

The DoW has completed a Strategic Information Plan to maximise the value and utility of its information resources. A project to determine target enterprise architecture is currently in the planning phase and the subsequent implementation will require a significant ICT investment (for which a business case is currently in development). The strategy will leverage from existing government investments and where possible utilise existing software and applications from other jurisdictions and/or industries consistent with e­ Government principles. The DoW operates a mixed resourcirig strategy with ICT operations delivered by public sector staff and application development/maintenance provided via SPIRIT contractors. • Information systems operations

The DoW continues to improve our monitoring and reporting capabilities; with the implementation of enterprise monitoring software suite that has allowed us to consolidate several monitoring solutions into a single package. This system is capable of monitoring logs, system states, hardware and software alerts, network devices and remote sites. Other existing management procedures and systems are continually being developed and improved.

. • Business continuity planning

Two separate projects have recently been completed with the goal of ensuring business continuity in the event of systems disruption.

The DoW commissioned L7 Pty Ltd to conduct a review of the DoW's risk with respect to availability of systems and IT infrastructure and the associated business impact, existing IT infrastructure and Disaster Recovery strategies. The outcome of this was a procedure to follow in the event of a disaster along with a series of disaster recovery kits and for each of the DoW's IT services and a framework to facilitate the development and on-going review of supporting documents and policies.

In addition the DoW has completed an upgrade of our underlying telephony network infrastructure to support higher availability of phone and network services across our three central offices; the Atrium , Septimus Roe Square and Ellam St, and also to facilitate the development of a second backup data centre in the Septimus Roe Square building.

• Application systems implementation and maintenance or change management

The DoW implements and maintains applications based on user requirements to meet Departmental business requirements. Implementation, maintenance and change management are carried out based on Departmental requirements and sta'ndards and adopted industry standards.

• Relations with outsourced vendors

Development and maintenance of application systems is done via RFQ and maintenance panel contracts (established via RFQ) . Contract management is carried out in liaison with Department of Treasury and Finance representative to Department of Treasury and Finance standards. The DoW plans to strengthen vendor management in the forthcoming business period. This will include a review of current contract management processes including the development of contract management plans in line with Department of Treasury and Finance advice.

• Security

The DoW employs a number of measures to keep internal systems and information secure from unauthorised access. A central Firewall monitors and manages all incoming and outgoing traffic between the department's internal networks and the outside world, accepting only explicitly allowed sources. Remote access is provided to a small number of staff and requires two-factor authentication involving the individual user's login details and hardware token. The DoW does not currently make use of wireless access points, further reducing our exposure to external parties. 1.15 What actions have been taken to improve information system security within your agency

A recent IT risk review performed by consultants for the DoW has highlighted potential security concerns that are actively being addressed. Improvements in our software, hardware and network monitoring tools have enhanced our ability to respond to issues before they become significant problems. And the on-going development of Continuing from the disaster recovery assessment and IP telephony infrastructure upgrade, a second data centre is being developed to mitigate risk and allow for decreased recovery times by providing a failover for critical business services.

Public Sector Workforce Shortages

1.16 Does your agency have a problem retaining skilled staff and/or recruiting to fill staff vacancies?

Yes. The DoW has experienced difficulties recruiting and retaining staff in specific roles (e.g. scientific, engineering, managerial and corporate services related roles), some regions (Mid West, Pilbara and Kimberley regions), and roles that target experienced mid­ career professionals.

At full capacity the DoW would employ 640 FTE's. At 31 December 2007? the DoW's FTE capacity was averaging 557. With 49 positions currently in the process of being filled the DoW has a vacancy factor of 36, or 5.6%.

1.17 What is your agency's strategy for addressing skill and staff shortages, both current and projected?

The DoW has used a variety of strategies to enable it to address its workforce needs. These have included:

• Increased staff training and development activity to fast track the development of the required skills, knowledge and abilities required within the identified roles. This will require a change in the role of some senior staff away from dedicated project work to adopting a -more project management! mentoring and coaching role.

• Developed project management methodologies that enable the identification of tasks and functions that can be outsourced or provided by labour hire agencies.

• Undertaken targeted recruitment in other States.

• Utilised temporary business (long stay) visas - (sub-class 457)

• Liaised with Universities in regard to the review and development of courses to ensure relevance to business needs. Additionally, further developed relationships with Universities, and therefore exposure to students, with collaborative projects and funded research programs.

• For the Pilbara and Kimberley we continue to work in securing suitable accommodation for our staff, although the housing crisis affects all industry within these communities. Future options may include fly-in fly-out but this too is problematic in that there remains a significant shortage in short term accommodation facilities. 1.18 What specific actions has your agency taken to address these difficulties {such as streamlining recruitment processes and reducing recruitment times}?

The DoW has commenced a range of business strategies aimed at increasing its capacity and capability. These include:

• Greater use of contracts with universities and research agencies such as CSIRO;

• Delivering of work from regional areas (e.g. south coast and south west) where some skilled people have shifted to balance work -life situations;

• Bundled contracts which increase the value of work placed into the consulting market sufficient to generate market interest and commitment;

• Continuing to develop longer term alliances with key suppliers to continue provision of existing services.

• Access to consultants and experienced officers within departments of other water jurisdictions I states. The DoW will actively explore the opportunity to second skilled staff to support the implementation of agreed and funded actions.

• Streamlining human resource strategies around job design and recruitment to attract a broader range of applicants. The DoW has recently achieved employer of choice recognition in an Industry award. However whole of government recruitment marketing arrangements restrict the use and value of employer branding and therefore the ability to differentiate in the marketplace to attract applicants.

• Acquiring and develop graduates and younger staff, through an integrated mentoring and coaching program using experienced staff and enticing retired staff back to the workplace.

• Exploring opportunities to provide a more flexible approach to work in an attempt to encourage part time work for prospective employees who require work from home conditions. There are many experienced female environmental officers who have parenting responsibilities, and require a more flexible approach to attending the workplace.

• Working with DOCEP on improving salary and condition options to improve the attractiveness of our department. Recent in-principle decisions on salary incentives for Specified Calling positions needs to be further explored and adapted to enhance the competitiveness of the department.

• Systematic monitoring of staff engagement and satisfaction levels using survey tools and consultation committees improves departmental actions to improve performance and work/life balance helping us attract and retain motivated staff. 1.19 How have any recruitment and retention difficulties impacted on your agency's cost structures?

The difficulties do not significantly impact on our cost structures. Whilst salary savings are made through vacant positions, the cost of hiring contractors and consultants offsets any savings. The cost of housing and short term accommodation in the Pilbara and Kimberley has risen significantly and reduces our regional operating budgets. It is estimated that the increases are $150-200,000 per annum.
