Executive Positions

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. 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. One general manager was terminated from SA Water in the 2023-24 financial year.

Details of the termination costs of the former general manager will not be released as it is considered an unreasonable disclosure of personal affairs.
