Corporate Overview

Corporate objectives

The Commission’s vision is that heritage in Australia, in all its diversity, is valued and conserved by communities and their governments.

The Commission’s mission is to take a leading role in safeguarding those parts of Australia’s natural and cultural environment that have special value for current and future generations.

Strategic Plan 1999–2002

The Commission’s new Strategic Plan established the overall direction of the organisation for the three years 1999–2002. The framework in the plan provided the basis for planning and management in 1999–2000.

The main elements of the Commission’s Strategic Plan are presented under four key result areas:

Chapters 5 to 8 provide a performance report for each of these key result areas for 1999–2000.

The Strategic Plan complements other planning documentation relating to Environment Australia.

Structure and senior management

The Commission’s organisation chart on page 21 shows the structure and senior management for 1999–2000.

Operational planning 1999–2000

In 1999–2000 the Commission continued to use an operational planning model which linked the four key result areas to its organisational structure and activities. Within its 1999–2000 operational plan, financial and staffing resources were allocated under projects attributed to one or more of the key result areas, as shown in the following summary.
