3.0 Operating intentions
The Department established a new outcome and contributory intermediate outcomes during 2007. These are used in this Statement of Intent 2008-2011.
The desired future state, which drives work priorities and indicators of progress, must be reassessed for each intermediate outcome. This is work in progress. Intermediate outcomes 5 (engagement) and 7 (business opportunities) have been reworked, particularly the description of how they contribute to the desired future state. Further work is required to develop ways to measure success for these two intermediate outcomes, and the results of this work will be included in the Statement of Intent 2009-2012. The remaining intermediate outcomes will be reviewed in time for the Statement of Intent 2009-12.
In this section
This section begins with a brief description of the Department's work (the outputs it delivers) and how these contribute to the Department's seven intermediate outcomes, which cover natural heritage, historic and cultural heritage, engagement, recreation and business opportunities.
Information is provided for each intermediate outcome to show:
- what the Department is seeking to achieve
- why this is a priority
- what the Department will do to achieve the intermediate outcome
- how the Department will demonstrate success
The section concludes with information on the Department's roles in relation to policy advice, ministerial services, and statutory and ministerial bodies.
