SOUTHERN PORTS AUTHORITY
— CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
1292. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the minister representing the
Minister for Transport:
I refer to the Southern Ports
Authority chief executive officer position.
(1) Have interviews been conducted
for the position of CEO of Southern Ports?
(2) If yes to (1), who conducted the
interviews and when will the successful candidate commence?
(3) Will the new CEO be from an
organisation external to Southern Ports?
(4) Who will manage Southern Ports'
port of Esperance and port of Albany once a new CEO is appointed?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2)–(3) It
will be the Southern Ports Authority's board, assisted by an external
representative from the Department of Transport and the CEO of another port
authority. The selection and appointment process has not yet been completed;
therefore, a start date has not been determined.
(4) No decisions
have been made about permanent appointments to these positions ahead of the
appointment of a new CEO.
