$114,105.00 |
The total annual employment cost for these appointments is $114,105.00 (excluding on costs). For SA Water, Section 17 of the South Australian Water Corporation Act 1994 allows the Corporation to appoint the employees it thinks necessary or desirable and on terms and conditions fixed by the Corporation. Given this, SA Water uses its own industrial framework for employing staff and no positions at SA Water fall within the SA Executive Service.
SA Water's Executive structure consists of its Senior Leadership Team (SLT), which comprises its chief executive, a chief financial officer and five general managers. During the period of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021, the position of General Manager Operations was created, and the position of General Manager Governance and Risk was abolished and was replaced with Head of Governance and Integrity, which sits outside of the SLT. As a public corporation, SA Water operates in a commercial environment and competes with other private and public sector entities within South Australia and interstate. As such, SA Water considers the details of executive remuneration by specific role function to be commercially sensitive. Salary bands of staff are included in SA Water's annual report.
