5. Monitoring, reporting and evaluation

There is no methodology in place to evaluate progress against the Framework’s goals, objectives and targets. The Framework indicated that an evaluation methodology would be developed by 2019.

Without a system for monitoring, reporting and evaluating progress, government and the community cannot understand if the Framework is achieving its goals and objectives.

In late 2024, DTP engaged an external provider to develop an evaluation methodology for measuring outcomes in precincts (including Fishermans Bend). This work is in its early stages.
