4. Organisational Establishment

The last review of the organisational structure was reported to the Council at the Special Meeting on
30 June 2023 as part of budget adoption process.

Several submissions were received as part of the budget review process for new and extended
temporary and permanent positions, as well as the conversion of a temporary position to permanent
establishment. Details of these submissions are outlined in Attachment 1. It was also identified that
the previous report contained a minor error where some casual staff had incorrectly been reported
as permanent establishment. Accordingly, overall there has been a slight increase in Council’s
permanent establishment numbers.
