Section 19D - Statement of Reasons for Amendment

This statement outlines the reasons for the amendment of performance criteria under section 19D of the Financial Management Act 1996. 

The data to measure these indicators is not able to be systematically captured in a manner to enable an accurate presentation of results.  Furthermore these measures are not relevant to mainstream library services.

Establishment of manual systems to collect this data would be time consuming, costly and may not be sufficiently robust to meet audit scrutiny.
