The PTA Sustainability Action Plan was completed in February 2005.The plan addressed the planning and development of integrated transportation, so that it meets sustainable outcomes. It also encourages PTA staff to actively participate in the activities that make a contribution towards a better future.These activities include energy conservation, recycling, fundraising, travel by public transport, and occupational safety and health.

The PTA continued to work with relevant external parties to identify opportunities to maximise sustainability during the development and planning of transport services.This includes:

• Transit Oriented Development (TOD) planning;
• Integration of infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists;
• Protection and restoration of local air, water, soils, flora and fauna; and
• Services to assist people with disabilities.

PTA is committed to risk management (in accordance with Treasurer’s Instruction 825) and worked closely with its insurer RiskCover to meet best practice standards across the whole organisation, as defined in AS4360 “Risk Management”.The Audit Committee has in place an annual plan to ensure that internal controls identified to minimise risk are effectively applied.

The PTA’s Procurement Policies and Procedures are accredited to ISO9001.2000 and subject to regular audit.These measures, whilst not specifically designed to prevent corruption, provide a culture of sound governance and effectively minimise the risk of corruption.
