Ms Maria Graham:

In terms of the current position, we receive workforce plans from the board. We approved one last year for 24 people. This year, we got a further workforce plan and that is the basis of the 30 extra staff talked about in the action plan. There is also a separate one on marine resourcing. That is what the board determined it needs in the current frame. We have looked at other things such as strengthening its executive management team and in this Bill, we are talking about going up to 15. In terms of the wider Bill, we are going to have to do an assessment aligned with that organisational capacity, around what the new legislative structure looks like. We are in an interim piece at the moment. The purpose of the new Bill is to streamline and make things clearer. I think the OPR mentioned in its report that the board is mentioned throughout the legislation and part of what we are doing in the Bill is to keep all of the consents piece together in order that people can clearly see the signposting of what is involved. The combination of that with some of the stuff the OPR has recommended about the clarity of the decision-making process will aid in the point that the Senator has made.
