Measure: Certificate of competency issued
The table below demonstrates the cost of providing certificates of competency issued through the Department’s Marine Safety program.
The Department aims to facilitate the safe use of waters by users through setting and monitoring safety standards. Data shown is the number of certificates issued divided by the cost of the activity.
The variance between actual and target for 2003/04 is attributed to the fact that there were less applications and certificates issued than expected for the 2003/04 year. The variance in the actual for 2003/04 was less than previous years due to a reduction in the printing of promotional materials.
