In reply to Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (2 August 2021). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government): I have been advised:

The Agency statements outline a total 76.4 FTE reduction in Budget Operating FTE between the 2021-22 budget and 2020-21 estimated result (revised budget). These FTE figures represent budget cap and do not necessarily reflect the actual FTE and positions in the agency.

This variation predominantly relates to two factors:

36.3 FTE—a nominal FTE decrease has been applied against a savings target (CAA efficiency measures) imposed on the CAA for 2021-22. This savings target is nominally applied against salaries and FTE, however, savings may be met via other means.

40.0 FTE—reduction in short-term contract staff on the ECMS project. The ECMS project was originally scheduled to go-live prior to 30 June 2021. The 40 FTE budget reduction represents short-term contracted staff working on the project. The project go-live date has been extended to February 2021.
