Abstract
This paper describes the Australian State of Tasmania’s
management effectiveness Monitoring and Reporting System for
national parks and reserves. This jurisdictional performance measurement
system is designed to provide all interested parties with
reliable factual information and measured evidence about reserve
management achievements, progress and challenges. Key features
of the system are that it is outcomes-focused, evidence-based, operationally
practical, and transparent to the public. The system
fosters an organizational culture of measuring and demonstrating
the results achieved from investment of funds in reserve management.
It encourages an adaptive management approach and supports
the management agency to operate as effectively and efficiently
as is practicable. Online reporting of quality information about
management performance enhances public sector transparency
and accountability, and facilitates informed public engagement in
sound adaptive management of national parks and reserves. The
approaches, methods and tools developed for Tasmania’s Monitoring
and Reporting System are potentially suitable for uptake and
application elsewhere.
