WITHERS URBAN RENEWAL STRATEGY
181. Hon ADELE
FARINA to the minister representing the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to the Withers urban renewal strategy and the recent
appointment of a place manager for the project.
(1) Was the
place manager position publicly advertised; and, if no, why not?
(2) Who made
the appointment and who was consulted about the appointment?
(3) Will the
minister table the job description form and employment contract; and, if no,
why not?
(4) Has the
place manager been employed on a part-time or full-time basis; and, if the
former, what days will the place manager work and how many hours per week?
(5) What is
the place manager's salary?

AnswerView source ↗

honourable member for notice of the question.
(1) No. The
place manager is a person seconded from the South West Development Commission
to the City of Bunbury who has the appropriate skills and experience to
undertake the task.
(2) The
appointment was made jointly by the South West Development Commission and the
City of Bunbury at CEO level.
(3) Yes. The
place manager's original employment contract is with the South West
Development Commission. The secondment agreement covering the position of place
manager and duty statement is tabled.
(4) It is part
time for 15 hours per week, to be worked flexibly each week.
(5) Pro rata,
$34 716 per annum.
