Each target in South Australia’s Strategic Plan is allocated to a government agency, known as the lead agency. The lead agency has responsibility for developing implementation plans and strategies to achieve the target within the given timeframe.

Most targets have supporting agencies that contribute to the successful outcome. For instance, the lead agency for road safety is the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure with support from the Motor Accident Commission and SA Police who are part of the Department of Justice. Both departments collaborate to develop strategies and implementation plans for this target.
