I refer to the answer provided by the Minister for Public Sector Management to my parliamentary question 111 of 23 February 2022, and I ask in relation to the Director General of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, for a copy of "the clear letter of expectation for performance" from the Minister "outlining key priorities and deliverables" which was sent to the Director General?

The document referred to by the Member is a performance agreement of an individual employee. CEO performance agreements are required under the Public Sector Management Act 1994. The Public Sector Commissioner establishes the performance agreement framework and its implementation. The framework includes a letter of expectations and priorities set by the Minister(s). It has been long standing practice not to make public the performance agreement of an individual. Agency performance is reported in each agencies annual reports, tabled in Parliament each year.
