SA Water

In reply to Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) ((23 June 2022).). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water): I have been advised that for the 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 comprises its chief executive, its chief financial officer, chief information officer and five general managers.

Since 22 March 2022, there were no executive positions abolished.
