Parliamentary Questions


Question On Notice No. 731 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 March 2018 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Question Directed to the: Minister for Education and Training
Parliament: 40 Session: 1


Question

I refer to the planned closure of the Moora Residential College and Geraldton Camp School, and I ask with respect to each facility:
(a) please identify the number of staff employed, their employment status, position, pay level and years of continuing service within the public service; and
(b) what is the expected cost of severance to these staff following the closure of each facility?

Answered on 10 April 2018

a)

Individual employee pay levels and years of continuing service cannot be provided as these details are confidential to the employees.

The rest of the information requested is provided in tabular form, and I seek leave to have the table incorporated into Hansard.
