Question Without Notice No. 156 asked in the Legislative Council on 27 March 2018 by Hon Colin De Grussa
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
DEPARTMENT OF FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES — RESTRUCTURE
156. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the minister representing the Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to the minister's media statement of 14 February 2018, in which he states —
The DFES restructure will also reduce senior executive positions from 12 to nine, bringing savings that will benefit emergency service volunteers, improve regional operations and boost mitigation activities.
(1) Which senior executive positions will go under this change?
(2) Will those staff be offered redundancies?
(3) If yes to (2), how much will this cost?
(4) How will this change ''benefit emergency service volunteers'' and ''improve regional operations''?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. The following information has been provided by the Minister for Emergency Services.
The department is unable to provide the requested information in a short period. I will endeavour to provide the member with the requested information before Parliament rises on Thursday.
