PROJECT APPROVALS —
STATE BUDGET 2021–22
238. Hon
TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the Treasurer:
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.
In respect to the full-time equivalent positions filled to date —
(1) how many have
been filled through advertising;
(2) how many have
been filled from pre-existing or existing recruitment pools;
(3) how many have
been filled from reassigning other departmental roles and functions; and
(4) how many have
been filled by external consultants?

I thank the member for some notice
of the question and provide the following answer on behalf of the Minister for
Emergency Services representing the Treasurer.
(1)–(4) As
the Premier has outlined to the honourable member in his responses to questions
without notice 56 and 185, information relating to the recruitment of the 150
frontline officers is not held by the Department of Treasury. This question
should be directed to each of the five relevant agencies.
