Parliament: 41 Session: 1

PROJECT APPROVALS — FRONTLINE OFFICERS

56. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the Treasurer:

I refer to the 2021–22 state budget allocation of a $120 million package confirming an earlier announcement made on 21 July to recruit ''150 frontline officers to speed up project approvals'' across five agencies.

(1) How many of these 150 officers have been recruited to date and into which agencies have they been recruited?

(2) How much of the $120 million has been spent on the recruitment of those officers?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the minister representing the Treasurer, I provide the following response.

The Department of Treasury advises that questions should be placed on notice with each of the relevant agencies: the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety; the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage; the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions; the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation; and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
