     -     Community Engagement
•    This report also identifies existing temporary project positions greater than one year associated
     with the delivery of various Council projects (refer Attachment 3). Council’s attention is drawn
     to 14 new temporary positions associated with various projects. These positions will expire at
     the conclusion of the projects and are not included in the EFT count however they 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.
•    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 project and circumstances.
•    Salary provision has been made in the proposed 22/23 Noosa Council Budget to fund these
     positions.
•    While the focus of this report is the permanent establishment and long-term temporary project
     positions greater than one year, it is relevant to consider the number of all temporary (long and
     short term) positions and casual positions which support the delivery of Council services, and
     which are provided for in the salaries budget.

     There are currently a total of 187 temporary and casual employees engaged by Council
     including:
     -     80 temporary employees (full time and part time) made up of long-term project
           employees (as identified in Attachment 3 to this report) and short-term temporary
           employees who may be engaged under varying circumstances e.g., to replace
           permanent employees on leave or to meet peaks in workloads for a short period.
     -     107 casual employees (equating to 26.86 EFT positions) engaged on an as needed basis
           e.g., to meet peaks in workloads, unexpected absences of existing employees.
•    There are no redundancies proposed in this budget.
