Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 243 asked in the Legislative Council on 23 March 2022 by Hon Tjorn Sibma

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION —PROJECT APPROVALS — FRONTLINE OFFICERS

243. �Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the Minister for Environment:

Two questions in one day. That is lucky.

I refer to the 2021–22 state budget allocation of a $120 million package to recruit 150 frontline officers to speed up project approvals across five agencies, including the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.

(1) Prior to the budget announcement, how many frontline officers by FTE and headcount at DWER were primarily performing approvals tasks?

(2) As of today, how many frontline officers by FTE and headcount are performing approvals tasks at DWER?

Hon SAMANTHA ROWE replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question. I provide the following answer on behalf of the minister representing the Minister for Environment.

(1) As at 8 July 2021, 218.8 FTE and 242 headcount.

(2) As at 3 March 2022, 237.73 FTE and 263 headcount. It is not possible to provide figures as at today's date within the parliamentary response time frame.
