4.2 Realigning our workforce
Approximately 50 per cent of the Planning Group's funding is initiatives based, therefore the target
composition will vary and is based on current forward estimates.
It is noted that multiple divisions within the Planning Group underwent restructures in late 2017, which has
resulted in changes to staffing profiles. Further target adjustments will be made following the recent transition
of the Fishermans Bend Taskforce and Cladding Taskforce to the Planning Group, and staff funded through
2018-19 Budget funded initiatives.
