LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION N0.564

Chief Planner - Recruitment

Mr Jensen - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning

On the replacement for the Chief Territory Planner

(1) What newspapers, magazines and other publications in Australia and overseas

have. been used to advertise the vacant position.

(2) What were the dates for the placement of these advertisements.

(3) What procedures are to be used to select a replacement.

*(4) When is the selection process expected to be completed and an announcement

made of the successful applicant.

Mr Wood -the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) and (2) The vacant position was advertised in the Australian Government Gazette on 18 July 1991 and in the Canberra Times, Weekend Australian, Sydney Morning Herald, Age and Courier Mail on 20 July 1991.

(3) In addition to the advertisements , a firm - Arnrop International - has

been engaged, at an estimated cost of $35,000, to conduct a search,

both nationally and internationally, to identify suitably qualified

candidates and to assist in other aspects of the recruitment process.

The procedures followed will be those pertaining to recnutment/appointment to the Commonwealth and ACT Government Service Senior Executive Service.

(4) Within the next two to three months

I think it would be generally recognised that the position of ACT Chief Planner is sufficiently unusual and important to warrant this effort and expense..
