This document contains a projected operational plan outturn for the year ending 4 October 2024 for the Cairngorms National Park Authority, and notes that forecasts for the coming three quarters indicate delivery of operational plan expenditure within the revised budget. It highlights that £238,000 of the peatland restoration budget remains unallocated, but recent discussions suggest a positive upturn in projects led by land managers, potentially reducing the forecast underspend. Remaining finance may be needed to offset cost increases in committed projects.
