Statement of Performance

Construction of the temporary shaft in Mercury Lane that will provide access to the tunnels

This section describes the 2019-2020 progress made towards achieving the identified performance measures as outlined in the Statement of Performance Expectations.

CRL Ltd has one output class and six output areas. The results reported within this section should be read in conjunction with the results reported against the Statement of Intent (SOI) on pages 13-18*.

CRL Ltd’s performance against some Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), particularly with regard to Project Delivery, have been impacted by Covid-19 government imposed restrictions during Alert Levels 4, 3 and 2. During Alert Level 4 no construction work could be undertaken, and new health and safety protocols during Alert Levels 3 and 2 such as social distancing also impacted the speed of construction on CRL’s sites.

Note 1.16 (v) in the Financial Statements provides a more fulsome description of the financial impact of Covid-19 on CRL Ltd.
