Efficiency outcomes

Business can use it to add value, innovate & create new products to spur economic growth

It reports on the performance of an agency or service

It supports cross-sector service delivery, e.g. other agencies & NGOs can use it to improve their services

Communities and people can use it to: develop useful

applications/new services make informed decisions about

the government services they use

make personal decisions that improve their quality of life

It provides details of government funding and/or expenditure

Releasing it for re-use could: make it easier for government

agencies to work together reduce the cost of providing an

existing government service reduce the cost of accessing and

processing this information for existing users
