Further Detail
Part i) SPA business plan progress (Appendix A)
The business plan has seven priorities with 34 objectives aligned the priorities. Internally SPA set 165 underpinning milestones to support tracking against delivery of the objectives. These milestones allow the SPA to track and evidence progress towards achieving each priority which is reported quarterly to ARAC.
Of the 165 milestones the majority are on track or have been completed (80%), with 27 (16%) having been re-phased and 6 (4%) delayed. The majority of these re-phased or delayed milestones are expected to be delivered within the current financial year with two carried over to 2023/24
