Our performance Our performance The department contributes to the government’s community objectives and has a key role in supporting the government objective to Invest in better infrastructure and better planning. These objectives guide the department’s strategic direction described in our strategic plan. The Transport and Main Roads Strategic Plan 2013–2017 sets out five strategic objectives: • Integrated transport system that supports the safe, efficient and reliable movement of people and goods • Safe and cost-efficient transport infrastructure that meets the current and future needs of Queensland • Customer, safety and regulatory services that improve community safety and satisfaction • Integrated passenger transport services that are safe and accessible • Strategic corporate services that enable business outcomes and create a great workplace that values our people. The plan ensures emerging risks and opportunities are strategically addressed, and underpins and guides our work and actions. We align our lower-level branch business plans to the plan. Progress against the plan is measured quarterly and annually, in quarterly performance reports presented to our Board of Management and the annual report. Our performance against the strategic objectives and the service standards described in the department’s Service Delivery Statements 2013–14, are presented in figures 14, 16, 17, 19, 27 and 28. 18 Department of Transport and Main Roads Annual Report 2013–14 Volume 1 of 2 Our performance – Objective 1 Objective 1 Integrated transport system that supports the safe, efficient and reliable movement of people and goods We develop policy frameworks for the future Performance measures and standards set out in the table below were used in 2013–14 development of the transport system, and to assess our overall performance in delivering our services. plan and prioritise strategic investment in effective, efficient and sustainable integrated transport infrastructure, systems Our performance at a glance and services.
