What's this project about Streamlining refers to the improvement of the efficiency of a certain process. It can be done by automation, simplification of tasks, or elimination of unnecessary steps. Exploring the challenges with the current system from a Predator Free Ltd perspective Identifying opportunities for improvement and change Setting out an implementation pathway to achieve change
Findings so far Analysis of first cut challenges pulled together by PF2050 Ltd Unnecessarily increasing the complexity of operations without any additional benefit. Adding high levels of uncertainty to projects and programmes undermining confidence to invest at scale. Time delays to projects and programmes as a result of lengthy approval processes. Additional costs to projects and programmes.
Where do the solutions lie Regulatory agencies lifting their game Change to rules and regulations PF2050 stepping it up
Potential solutions Centralised Coordination and Integration coordinator/s miscommunication. Interagency Working Group - Bringing regulators to prevent duplicative workand establish common standards. Integrated Application Process -online portal/systems to submit allnecessary documentation in one go? Dedicated - reducing fragmentation and
Process Standardisation/Simplification Approval Criteria - Aligning data requirements and risk assessments across agencies for consistent submissions -streamlines the workand cuts down on delays. Fast-Track Pathways - creating expedited routes for low-risk or well-documented activities, resources can be focused on more complex cases, making the process more efficient. Pre-Approved Methodologies - Standardised protocols that are approved once eliminate the need for repeated reviews.
Policy/Legislative Adjustments Regulatory Reform Initiatives - Advocating for policy changes to reduce redundant approval layers,making the regulatory frameworksimpler and more coherent. Identifying and tackling duplication - compelling evidence of duplication across processes and addressing through regulatory change
Next steps Analysis is continuing on the existing requirements and areas for improvement Online surveys are live and available for to gather feedback Summary report of initial findings will be made available in April/May Exploration of case studies and further development of strategy
