Review of the 25 Year Strategic Plan for the GBRWHA (D2.5b)
Task leader: Dr Barbara Kennedy, James Cook University.
Task associate: NA.
The 25 Year Strategic Plan for the Great Barrier Reef
World Heritage area was published in 1994 and included agreement by the
Stakeholders to a review process at five-yearly intervals. This is the
first such review; the purpose is to update and further develop the Plan.
The review aims to identify: progress made toward 5- and 10-year objectives;
perceptions of the ongoing relevance and utility of the Plan; stakeholder
interest in participating in a formal process to update the vision, objectives
and strategies of the Plan; and stakeholder perceptions of how the Plan
could have been better structured or implemented. The 25 Year Plan is
the major strategic planning document for the GBRWHA and the Review will
provide direction for the future use and/or redevelopment of the Plan
and its application in strategic planning by stakeholder organisations.
The review also provides the opportunity to provide some data on the
effectiveness of the 25 Year Plan as an approach to facilitated joint
planning among a group of stakeholders diverse in their goals, objectives,
values and operations.
Objectives
- Review the progress made by various stakeholders toward the 5- and
10-year objectives of the plan.
- Review stakeholder perceptions of the ongoing utility, relevance
and achievability of the objectives and timelines.
- Assess stakeholder support for a formal review of the vision, objectives
etc.
