Resources were allocated to theprogram from other non-critical activities. In most cases,non-critical activities were reduced but not stopped.Targets for the program were exceeded. Parks Victoriahas an investment prioritisation framework to assessesactivities against risk and minimise the impact ofreduced service delivery.The Royal Commission was a substantial timecommitment for a number of staff, taking priority overother projects. These projects continued in a reducedcapacity, resulting in delays.Subsequent eventsThere have been no subsequent events after thereporting period that have caused a significant changein Parks Victoria’s financial position or organisationalperformance. However, Parks Victoria anticipatesthere may be change following the release of the 2009Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission findings. Thisreport (released 31 July) is expected to influence thefuture of the organisation and cause substantial impactto operations. Early estimates suggest staff numbers,fire commitment and approach to fire and emergencymanagement will require review and updating fromAugust 2010.Parks Victoria - Annual Report 2009-10 47
