QuestionView source ↗

I refer to Strategic goal three of the five goals listed in the document, ‘Skilling WA - A workforce development plan for Western Australia’. In particular I refer to the short term priority actions 3.2.1 (Planning Leadership - The WA Planning Commission in conjunction with the Department of Planning will be the lead Government Agency for physical and social infrastructure planning, with coordination to be undertaken by the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee) and 3.2.2 (Infrastructure Planning - Issues of physical and social infrastructure including the vibrancy of Perth and the regions will be addressed through the planning processes of the WA Planning Commission (State Planning Strategy, Directions 2031 and regional planning strategies), and I ask -
Given that these are listed as priority actions in the Minister’s workforce development plan, why isn’t a representative from the Department of Training and Workforce Development on the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee, given that housing, energy, land, environment, water, regional development, mines and petroleum, Treasury, Premier and Cabinet, health and transport are represented?

With the revitalisation of the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee in 2010 the membership of the Committee was also reviewed with the need for a workforce planning and development representative identified. The Western Australian Planning Commission and the Department of Planning are currently reviewing their processes with the aim of inviting the Director General of the Department of Training and Workforce Development to join the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee. This is expected to occur by the end of the second quarter 2011.
