What was the average amount of change of use charge paid by developers, per unit, from (a) 2003 to May 2010 and (b) May 2010 to date, and how many units has this been applied to.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(a) In relation to the period 2003 to May 2010 an answer to the Member’s question cannot be provided without a manual examination of all relevant records for the seven year period. Given that this would require significant resources I consider that this is not an appropriate use of ACTPLA’s resources.

The Change of Use Charge Internal Audit Review was tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 26 August 2010.

(b) No change of use charge for residential development has been paid since May 2010.

Canberra Institute of Technology—executive positions
(Question No 1177)

Mr Doszpot asked the Minister for Education and Training, upon notice, on 21 September 2010:

(1) On what dates were the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) executive positions E522, E523, E524, E525 and E526 (a) first created/established and (b) advertised one or more times in the ACT Gazette.

(2) If the position referred to in part (1) were never advertised in the ACT Gazette why not and how was the positions advertised, if at all, and filled.

(3) What was the substantive ACT Public Service classification rank level, for example, Teacher Band 4 or the relevant executive classification level, of the (a) contact officer and (b) selection panel chairperson for each of the recruitment processes used for appointments to CIT positions E522, E523, E524, E525 and E526 following their creation.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) (a) E00522, E00523, E00524 – 19 December 2007; E00525, E00526 – 14 January 2008

(b) E00522, E00523, E00524 – 7 August 2008; E00525 – Not advertised in Gazette; E00526 – 27 November 2008.

(2) E00525 was advertised only in the press because CIT was seeking an applicant with specialised skills in the nature of managing student issues across a large educational institution. It was decided that a larger pool of suitable applicants would be gained by advertising through the press. E00526 was filled initially through a press advertisement because CIT was seeking an applicant with proven skills in the area of business development and industry engagement. It was decided that a larger pool of suitable applicants would be gained by advertising through the press.
