ARC Paper 6 Annex 2 Cairngorms 2030 Risk management

This document contains a risk management overview for the Cairngorms 2030 Programme for Q1 2026, prepared by David Clyne, Head of Cairngorms 2030. It highlights the main challenges as securing funding and meeting timelines for Transport Scotland and active travel projects, which could lead to programme delays, failure, or a loss of partner support and insufficient match funding. To manage these "amber" status risks, the Park Authority is engaging with the Scottish Government, reprioritizing projects, and conducting financial reappraisals. While these key areas show some risk for Q1 2026, they are projected to improve to a "green" (low risk) status, with risks concerning the Park Authority's budget management, procurement standards, and staffing already well-managed.
