PALM - Employees

(Question No. 94)

Mr Corbell

asked the Minister for Urban Services, upon notice:

In relation to officers employed in the Planning and Land Management Group (PALM) and its predecessors, excluding Building, Electrical and Plumbing Control (BEPCON) and WorkCover - for each of the years from 1994 to 1999 (inclusive)

(1) What was the number of officers who were qualified (a) town planners, (b) architects, (c) landscape architects, (d) engineers.

(2) What is the percentage of each in relation to the total number of staff employed in PALM, and its predecessors, excluding BEPCON and WorkCover.

Mr Smyth

: The answers to the member's questions are as follows:

(1) The information requested is not available over the period of time specified. PALM, or its predecessors, have not kept a register of staff's qualifications over the period. Staff are generally not required to advise of their tertiary qualifications except when specified under selection criteria.

I have previously provided information on current staff qualifications, which was based on a survey of current staff. It should be noted that staff may possess qualifications, which may or may not be relevant to the requirements of their current jobs.

(2) The percentage of each in relation to the total number of staff is also not recorded for the period.
