Why do we monitor policies?
We monitor the implementation and effectiveness of its adopted planning policies on an annual basis.
The purpose of monitoring is to assess whether:
- policies are achieving their objectives, in particular, whether they are delivering sustainable development
- policies have had unintended consequences
- the assumptions and objectives behind policies are still relevant
- the targets are being achieved
