The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority 2023–24 sets out our strategic direction for the agency. Together with the Portfolio Budget Statement and Annual Report, it forms the planning and performance framework for the Reef Authority.
We also produce a Corporate Plan 2023-24: at a glance.
The Corporate Plan 2023–24 sets out the Reef Authority’s purpose, strategic objectives and delivery strategies, as well as clear, measurable performance criteria and targets to assess our progress in achieving its purpose.
The Plan also covers a number of important topics, including our approach to planning and reporting, operating environment, our capability, and partnerships.
Collaborating with all levels of government, Traditional Owners, our partners, and stakeholders is critical to improving the health and resilience of the Reef.
The Plan is developed in accordance with the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 requirements.
