Paper 5 - Annex 2 Strategic Risk Register C2030

This document contains a risk assessment for the Cairngorms 2030 programme, reviewed on 22 February 2024. It identifies several risks, including potential funding shortfalls from Sustrans Scotland affecting project timelines and match funding, with the Active Communities project particularly impacted. Mitigation strategies include revising delivery plans, ongoing discussions with the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland, and increased monitoring of cash flow. Procurement standards and staffing levels are also identified as risks, with measures being taken to improve compliance and address staff turnover. The Park Authority is prepared to increase its core match funding in 2025/2026 to progress the transport project if Sustrans/Transport Scotland funding is not paid as planned.
