Executive Appointments

In reply to Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (26 June 2024). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised that 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. 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. One executive was appointed during this period: general manager customer, community engagement.

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.

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.

Individual executive total remuneration package values (TRPV) will not be disclosed as it is deemed to be unreasonable disclosure of personal affairs.
