Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Department

In reply to the Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (27 September 2018). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised of the following:

As at 31 August 2018, there were 3 337 persons employed within the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, including employees of the Rail Commissioner.

Savings measures will be achieved through a range of means, not solely through reductions in staffing. In addition given the flexible working arrangements available to employees, in particular part-time, job-sharing and transition-to-retirement, there is not an accurate projected headcount that can be provided which directly correlates to changes in FTE.
