How our performance statements accord with our Portfolio Budget Statements
Subsection 16F(1) of the PGPA Rule requires performance to be measured and
assessed in accordance with the method set out in the corporate plan and PBS.
The body of these statements reflects the structure of our revised 2018–19 Corporate
Plan. Portfolio Budget Statements mapped to information in these statements has been prepared to cross-reference to the location where performance
is measured and assessed in accordance with the method set out in our 2018–19 PBS,
on pages 25 and 29 to 30.
It is worthwhile noting that the 2018–19 PBS measures have been superseded and we do
not intend to report against them in future years.
