QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a decision made to restrict the times in which motor bike licensing could be conducted to the hours of 7am to 11am. I understand this decision was for the Occupational Health and Safety protection of licensing instructors, to minimise their sun exposure. Can the Minister please advise -
(1) What were the previous available working hours for motor bike licensing?
(2) What is the total number of access hours lost per week because of this restriction based on existing staff numbers?
(3) Have additional staff been employed to maintain levels of service to the public?
(4) If so, -
(a) how many staff have been employed;
(b) for how many hours a week; and
(c) at what additional cost per week?
(5) Have the working hours of the existing licensing instructors been reduced to part-time hours accordingly?
(6) If not, what duties are these licensing instructors performing in the extra hours per day?
