           Team

         Process for population of the interim structure for the new Noosa Council

      Purpose
      This procedure establishes the principles and processes that will apply as the Transfer
      Manager develops and implements the interim organisational structure for the new Noosa
      Council. In accordance with the De-amalgamation Transfer Methodology, the Chief Executive
      Officer of the Sunshine Coast Council has determined the positions and employees to transfer
      to the new Noosa Council.
      It is acknowledged that the number of employees identified to transfer from the Sunshine
      Coast Council is greater than the number of roles that will be available in the interim structure
      for the new Noosa Council.
      Those staff who are unsuccessful in obtaining a role in the interim structure will be identified
      as soon as possible and this information shared with affected employees. At the same time it
      is recognised that there may be vacant positions within the interim structure requiring
      specialised skills which will result in the need to recruit specialist staff in order to fill key roles
      within the new Noosa Council.
      Principles and Commitments
          e  Consider the business needs and future sustainability of the new Noosa Council.
          e  Work within the terms of the relevant industrial agreements as they apply including:
             - Sunshine Coast Council Salaried Officers Certified Agreement 2011 (No.2)
             - Sunshine Coast Council Field-Based Employees Certified Agreement 2011 (No.2)
             - De-Amalgamation Transfer Methodology
             - Local Government (De-amalgamation Implementation) Regulation 2013
          e  Communicate with transferring employees and unions and other relevant stakeholders
             in as timely a manner as possible.
          e  Seek to best manage the impacts on people.
      Process
      An interim structure for the new Noosa Council will be developed based on future business
      needs and the resources required to maintain service delivery standards to the community.
      Positions and employees identified to transfer to the new Noosa Council (as determined by
      the Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Coast Council) will be reviewed and, where possible,
      placed into roles in the interim structure in the following ways:

                                                                                        Page 1 of 3
