This FOI release is a May 2026 internal strategy report, prepared by Australian Government Consulting for DCCEEW, on reprioritising the department's work to "do fewer things, better" in response to a declining budget and the Capability Review. It proposes a five-step process, including a uniform percentage levy on each group to fund a central pool for high-impact priorities, business planning, and an annual repeat of the exercise. It also covers outcomes drawn from roughly 300 departmental priorities, tiered into 30 interim outcomes, and includes supporting appendices on methodology and consultant resourcing. The release does not contain environmental assessment material, EPBC Act decisions, named species or sites, or quantified environmental data. Much of the text is redacted under sections 47C, 47D and 47E(d).
