Executive Appointments

In reply to Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (3 July 2023). (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 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. The SA Water Board govern the efficient use of people resources and SA Water has consistently employed between 1,574 and 1,660 people for the last 5 years. 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. These appointments are made on three-year contractual terms and several of these contracts were renewed in the period.

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.
