This FOI release concerns the Bureau of Meteorology's new website, delivered through the ROBUST program, covering budget decisions from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2025 with some earlier material included. The documents include the Channels Delivery Stream Plan (version 1.0, October 2018), which sets out objectives for a new platform, content management system, self-service portal, online store and content delivery network, plus schedule drivers, governance, resourcing, cost estimates and risks. Other items include project change requests, a 2020 ROBUST Program Control Group meeting, and a re-baseline proposal (PCG 2021/10) that moved milestones and funds between FY2022-23 and FY2023-24 pending Department of Finance approval. Quantified figures include a $3.97 million budget transfer from Channels Project Management, a $1.41 million remaining project management allocation, and a $34.8 million total for platform implementation. Much of the text is redacted under sections 22 and 47F. Risks noted include procurement delays, COVID-19 travel restrictions and security accreditation constraints. Budgets are not actual expenditure.
