DCA text: | Compared to financial year 19/20-Q2, the Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating remained at Amber. This is primarily due to the following factors: The programme has delivered the capability required for the main 2021 Census collection. Teams continue to work in a flexible way to meet challenges to the Collection operation activity which will continue until autumn 2021. The pre-processing operation is now up and running and build for statistical processing and outputs is well under way. We remain on track to deliver a successful census. The wider transformation continues at pace, with population statistics transformation operating in parallel with Census, on track for building to the 2023 recommendation. Social survey and business statistics transformation also continue to make progress and with most build on census now complete resources are now able to be re-focussed. |
