How we measure progress

The Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board is committed to continuous improvement to provide the best possible support to the region.

Methods for measuring success

The Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement (MERI) team measures and evaluates programs and projects against the priorities of the landscape plan. The landscape board uses the report progress, findings and ‘lessons learnt’ to make business improvements when undertaking the next cycle of planning and implementation.

Assessing the landscape plan’s performance and ensuring improvements in its delivery and governance needs a multi-layered approach and the landscape board seeks answers to the following questions:

• How successful has the implementation of the landscape plan been?
• How successful has the implementation of the annual business plan been?
• Are programs and projects helping to making a difference?
• How can improvements be made?

The answers to, and evidence sourced from these questions help to demonstrate outcomes and progress towards the priorities and focus areas of the Murraylands and Riverland Regional Landscape Plan.

Quarterly performance reporting

It includes information on:

• Summary of programs progress

• statistical information and activity updates.
