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?
