Shared responsibilities with other agenciesMoving people and freightDoT works closely with portfolio partners the PTA and MRWA, as well as local, State and Commonwealth government agencies and private sector organisations, to deliver a range of transport planning, policy, infrastructure and service delivery projects aimed at moving people and freight. DoT also works closely with WA’s eight port authorities, providing leadership in developing investment programs and strategies, supporting reforms and initiatives, and assisting ports to facilitate trade through the development of ports strategies. The scope and status of these projects is detailed in the Report on Operations on page 26. Supporting a safe and efficient transport system in the Indian Ocean TerritoriesDoT supports the delivery of a safe, efficient, effective and equitable transport system in the Indian Ocean Territories (IOT) – consisting of Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands – through a Service Delivery Agreement with the Commonwealth Government. The arrangement aims for the IOT to achieve consistency, as far as practicable, with WA’s transport system through DoT providing advice, services and support as requested by the Commonwealth Government. In June 2014, DoT staff visited the IOT to meet with key stakeholders on various operational matters, including vehicle licensing, practical driving assessments and other compliance services. Throughout the year, DoT continued to meet regularly with Commonwealth Government staff to discuss any issues relating to the management of the agreement and received positive feedback on the level of advice and support provided. In particular, DoT has begun providing the IOT with assistance to transition the licensing service function, communications technology services and hardware from the Shire of Christmas Island to the IOT Administration. DoT is also progressing the automation of the production of all driver’s licence cards to ensure secure proof of identity. Enhancing compliance coordination on WA’s waterwaysDoT’s Marine Safety Business Unit works in collaboration with the Western Australia Police, Swan River Trust, Rottnest Island Authority, the Department of Fisheries and the Department of Parks and Wildlife to increase education, compliance and enforcement of the Marine Act 1982 and associated legislation on WA’s waterways. This collaborative approach enhances coordination and avoids duplication of patrol efforts throughout the year. This has resulted in a significant increase in patrols, ensuring improved compliance with the Marine Act 1982 and Navigable Waters Regulations 1958 by the recreational boating community. The business unit also works in partnership with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to deliver the National System for Domestic Commercial Vessels which establishes a safety framework for commercial vessels and seafarers. As the appointed Hazard Management Agent under the State Emergency Management Regulations 1986 for Maritime Transport Emergencies and Marine Oil Pollution Emergencies, the business unit also works in collaboration with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, Port Authorities, Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Department of Environment, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Swan River Trust, Rottnest Island Authority, Western Australia Police to ensure adequate prevention, preparation, response and recovery strategies are in place for these emergencies. Providing a shared IT serviceIn 2013/14, DoT continued to host and operate a shared IT infrastructure service for the Department of Planning, Department of Regional Development and Department of Lands. This arrangement is managed through Service Level Agreements and continues to realise economies of scale and cost neutrality for the State Government. Agency performance Report on operationsDoT’s role in achieving government goalsDoT supported the State Government’s goals of ‘results based service delivery’ and ‘State building – major projects’ in 2013/14 by striving to achieve and exceed three outcomes: an accessible and safe transport system; vehicles and road users that meet established vehicle standards and driver competencies to deliver safe vehicles and safe drivers; and integrated transport systems that facilitate economic development. To achieve these outcomes, DoT delivered three corresponding services: transport system and services development, planning, operation and regulation; driver and vehicle services; and strategic transport policy and integrated planning. DoT’s success in delivering these services and, in turn, achieving desired outcomes and contributing to State Government goals are measured through key performance indicators. This report on operations summarises DoT’s key performance indicators and details projects and programs that have significantly contributed to service delivery designed to meet the three outcomes. Outcome one:An accessible and safe transport system
