4. Transparency and accountability

Gateway provides agencies with greater certainty about review expectations and program responsibilities.

A GCA framework, developed by a GCA, must be endorsed by the Policy Owner and approved by a Cabinet Committee

GCA Frameworks must promote a consistent approach to Gateway across the sector

All final reports on Gate reviews must be provided to the Delivery Agency and the GCA and to Treasury to support investment or financing decisions or on request

A Delivery Agency must prepare a mitigation response to address any recommendations arising from each Gate review and communicate this response to the relevant GCA and NSW Treasury

A project or program should only be referred to one GCA Framework for the purpose of Gateway

It is the responsibility of the Delivery Agency in the first instance to determine the appropriate GCA framework. Attachment A provides guidance to Delivery Agencies on how to identify the appropriate GCA Framework. In the case of mixed projects or programs, or in the absence of clarity as to which framework should be applied, the Policy Owner will allocate the responsibility to the appropriate GCA.
