Question Without Notice No. 417 asked in the Legislative Council on 4 August 2021 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

STATE BUDGET 2021–22 — RED-TAPE REDUCTION TEAM

417. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:

I refer to the Premier's media statement of 21 July, ''Red-tape reduction team part of $120m investment for WA projects.''

(1) Can the Premier please provide a table that provides detail of how the $120 million will be invested across the forward estimates in the following agencies: Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage; Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety; Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions; Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation; and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation; and how many of the additional 150 staff will be recruited by each agency and by when?

(2) Broadly speaking, noting endemic skills shortages, from where are these staff likely to be recruited?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Details will be included in the 2021–22 state budget papers.

(2) Staff will be recruited through the standard public sector recruitment process.
