The Water Safety Taskforce (WST) commits to bringing the strategy to life with the development and oversight of a clear action plan. This action plan will draw on the range of potential initiatives identified throughout consultation with agencies, other water safety organisations and public stakeholders during the development of the strategy. The WST will continue to coordinate and monitor progress against the strategy until a sector governance model is developed, with a clear owner for strategy implementation.
Develop a detailed action plan
Develop a detailed action plan, which:
- Identifies specific initiatives that support the delivery of the strategy, with explicit alignment to each of the strategic priorities
- Describes which agencies will contribute to the delivery of each initiative, and the respective roles they will play
- Determines the priority and sequence of initiatives to ensure that effort resources are targeted to achieve optimal benefit
- Provides sufficient detail on the nature and scope of initiatives to support corresponding funding bids
- Includes clear delivery timelines and measures of success (both ‘implementation’ and ‘impact’ measures).
Collaborate, monitor, and review progress
Regularly review progress towards the implementation of the action plan strategic goals, through:
-
Operational/tactical collaboration between WST agencies as required to effectively and efficiently deliver initiatives (both ‘offline, and in monthly WST sessions)
-
Periodic (e.g. quarterly) reflection on progress against implementation measures and timelines for each initiative, to collectively identify and address challenges/opportunities impacting delivery
-
Formal reviews at set intervals (e.g. annually) across the life of the strategy to review progress against impact measures, and revise/update the action plan with new initiatives under each focus area.
