Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Department

In reply to Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (22 July 2015). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide): I have been provided the following advice:

The commissioner's office is supported by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI). An analysis of the support required for the office has identified a need for two roles, one of which presents a unique requirement that the incumbent is located on Kangaroo Island. The other role is more senior and will be required to commute between Adelaide and Kangaroo Island regularly to assist the commissioner with process issues raised by the community and businesses.

The vacancies have been advertised both internally and externally to the department to source the best possible candidates.
