149L: Obligation to publish and present statement of performance expectations

You could also call this:

"Crown entities must publish and share their performance goals with the public and the government."

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When you are a Crown entity, you must publish your statement of performance expectations on your website as soon as possible after you give it to your responsible Minister. You do this by putting the statement on an Internet site that you or someone on your behalf maintains. If your statement is for a period starting on or after the next Budget day, your Minister might ask you not to publish it before the Budget.

Your Minister must give a copy of your statement to the House of Representatives, either with your annual report or in another document presented on or before that date, as described in section 150. You can put your statement in a document with other information, as long as each part is easy to tell apart. Sometimes, a different Minister might give your statement to the House of Representatives if it is part of a document they are presenting.

149LObligation to publish and present statement of performance expectations

  1. A Crown entity must, as soon as practicable after providing a final statement of performance expectations to its responsible Minister, publish the statement on an Internet site maintained by or on behalf of the entity.

  2. However, if the final statement of performance expectations relates to a period commencing on or after the next Budget day, the responsible Minister may require the Crown entity not to publish the statement in the pre-Budget period.

  3. The responsible Minister (or another Minister, if subsection (5) applies) must present a copy of the final statement of performance expectations to the House of Representatives—

  4. in the same document as the entity's annual report for the previous financial year (see section 150); or
    1. in any other document presented on or before the date on which the annual report described in paragraph (a) is presented.

      1. An entity's statement of performance expectations may be presented or published in a document that includes any other statement or information, whether or not that other statement or information relates to the entity, but only if each statement or set of information is separately identifiable within that document.

      2. A Minister other than the responsible Minister may present an entity's statement of performance expectations to the House of Representatives if—

      3. the statement is presented in a document that includes another statement or other information; and
        1. that other Minister is responsible for presenting that other statement or information.
