MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
QUESTION NO 572
ACTEW - Senior Executive Service
Officer Statistics
Mr Westende - asked the Minister for Urban Services:
In relation to The Canberra Times articles of 20 January and 4 February 1993 in which complaints were made about excessive growth in ACTEW senior executive staff (SES) numbers and costs -
(1) What is the current annualised cost of ACTEW SES benefits, including indirect costs and what was the cost at 1 July 1988 (ACTEW commencement date).
(2) What percentage increase has occurred in the period 1 July 1988 to
31 December 1992 and how does this increase compare with the growth in
Australias average weekly earnings in the same period.
(3) How many senior ACTEW employees are now provided with a private use car at public cost and how many received this benefit at 1 July 1988.
(4) What is the cost of supply and running these vehicles and what percentage
increase has there been in these costs over the period 1 July 1988 to
31 December 1992.
(5) What was the percentage increase in ACTEWs latest household power and water tariffs and how does that increase compare with the increase in the consumer price index over the period since the last increase in tariffs.
Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:
(1) The total cost of SES officers to ACTEW at July 1988 was $779,000 for
8 officers. Once the amalgamation of the electricity and water functions was
completed and the necessary management support in place, this cost rose to
$1,232,000 for 12 officers at July 1990. The cost at December 1992 was
$1,418,000 for 14 officers. On the basis of cost per officer, there has been a
decrease since July 1990 from $102,667 to $101,286.
