Outcome* - Access to high quality spatial information is facilitated and coordinated by the Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS) Office for the benefit of all Western Australians.
* The Outcome and Effectiveness Indicator are different from those published in the Budget Statement.
Output Description: Land or geographic information from the Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS) stakeholder agencies is managed in a coordinated way so that data held by agencies can be integrated and readily accessed to meet government, business and community needs.
Useability of WALIS spatial information is determined by user awareness, acceptance and reuse:
Awareness
Number of first time participants at WALIS functions
Number of repeat participants at WALIS functions
Acceptance
Number of first time customers accessing spatial information from WALIS
community members
Reuse
Number of return customers accessing spatial information from WALIS community
members
Targets are still to be determined.
Why is this a key indicator of our performance?
The Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS) is an alliance of State
Government agencies, Local Government and private organisations that share
and make available land-related information to the private sector and the
community. The role of the WALIS Office is to facilitate and coordinate this
access to high quality spatial information. Effective access can be demonstrated
by the useability of spatial information, and this is reflected by user awareness,
acceptance and reuse.
How was the indicator derived?
This is a new indicator and baseline data will be collected during 2003-04
in the following manner:
Awareness is to be measured in terms of the number of participants, first time and repeat, recorded at WALIS educational and information functions. The WALIS Office will maintain contact information about participants and be responsible for reporting on the numbers of those who come for the first time in any year and those who choose to attend functions again within a given year.
Acceptance is to be measured in terms of the number of new and existing customers of WALIS spatial data and information custodians. Each year selected WALIS agencies will be responsible for reporting on the number of customers who access spatial for the first time, and the WALIS Office will be responsible for collating the data and presenting it as a part of the overall effectiveness indicator.
For each year, the selected agencies will reflect roughly an equivalent percentage of the total customer base for spatial information. Individual WALIS agencies are likely to submit a report only once in every three to five years, a frequency that will be determined with reference to the total customer base. Customer access will be assessed quarterly and on randomly selected days that represent a five percent sample of those days when a customer could access spatial information.
Initially, the provision of spatial information via the Internet will not form a component of the reporting by WALIS agencies. Nevertheless, information will be solicited by the WALIS Office on the growth in this delivery mode so as to include capture of this data sometime in the future.
Reuse will be measured in terms of the number of existing customers of WALIS spatial data and information custodians. WALIS agencies will be responsible for reporting on the number of customers who return to access spatial information, and the WALIS Office will be responsible for collating these data and presenting it as a part of the overall effectiveness measure.
What does the indicator show?
The new effectiveness indicator was not implemented in time to collect data
for 2002-2003. However, baseline data will be collected during 2003-2004.

Why is this a key indicator of our performance?
The WALIS Office is responsible for managing and coordinating the
achievement of the Annual Business Plan, which aims to meet the priorities
and objectives set out in the WALIS Strategic Directions document. In 2002-2003
the Business Plan comprised 14 key projects. Therefore the average cost per
Business Plan project is a useful measure of efficiency.
How was the indicator derived?
The 14 Business Plan projects are contained in the Annual Business Plan. The
total cost of projects reflects the entire cost of the WALIS Office, and includes
all direct costs and an appropriate share of indirect and overhead recurrent
costs.
What does the indicator show?
For 2002-2003, the average cost per Business Plan project was $105,352, which
is 4% less than the target for the year.

Although the achievement of performance criteria varied greatly between projects, the overall program performance was in line with the target. The extent of performance criteria met was affected by strategic level changes to the Business Plan and variability of senior staffing due to external secondments.

Administrative and senior staff variability impeded the steady and planned delivery of project deliverables. However, the fall in the timeliness target was not as significant as projected at mid-year. This is because the WALIS Council endorsed revisions to the WALIS Office Business Plan that permitted a better focus on achievable outputs.
