EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Executive Services to the Services & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 8 December 2020 regarding the organisational structure and position
establishment including temporary project positions.



REPORT
The organisation structure and position establishment is regularly reported to Council in December
and July (with the adoption of the budget) each year. The purpose of the report is to inform Council
of any changes to the organisation structure and position establishment.

There has been no change to the organisational structure or permanent establishment since 10
July 2020, it remains at 375.01 Equivalent Full Time positions (EFT). There are however a number
of changes required to temporary project positions with terms greater than 1 year. Temporary
positions are not included in the EFT count however they are reported to Council because of their
budgetary implications in the short term (i.e. 1 - 3 years).

An updated list of temporary/project positions is provided at Attachment 1.

Council’s attention is drawn to the creation of 10 new temporary project positions and required
extensions to the terms of 7 existing temporary project positions. Attachment 1 provides details of
these positions by Department and funding availability within the current budget.

New positions
    1 position of Place Programme Coordinator, Environment and Sustainable Development
     Department, for a 1 year term to progress the Pilot Place Making Programme.
    2 positions of Designer Capital Works, Infrastructure Services Department, for 2 years to
     assist with the design and delivery of the Tewantin Bypass Stage 1 Project and Capital Works

    2 positions of Project Officer and 1 position of Communications and Consultation Officer,
     Infrastructure Services Department, for 3 years to assist with the co-ordination and
