SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                               30 JUNE 2021


     Variations to the structures of the following branches are recommended:
     o     Community Development
     o     Waste and Environmental Health Services
     o     Building and Plumbing Services
     o     Development Assessment
     o     Environment Services
     o     Economic Development
     o     Governance
     o     Asset Management

    It should be noted that for long term comparative purposes, temporary fixed term project
     positions are excluded from the EFT however as these positions are essential to the delivery
     of major projects and do have budgetary implications, the status of temporary project positions
     (greater than 1 year) is regularly reported for Council’s information in the 6 monthly
     Establishment Update Report. Council’s attention is drawn to 11 new temporary positions
     associated with various projects (Attachment 3). A full list of new and existing positions is
     detailed in Attachment 4.

     While temporary fixed term project positions are created for specific terms and will expire at
     the conclusion of the projects, in certain circumstances their terms may be altered depending
     on the particular project and circumstances.

     Salary provision has been made in the proposed 21/22 Noosa Council Budget to fund these
     positions.

    There are no redundancies proposed in this budget.
