I am advised that the number of staff working in the National Parks and Wildlife Service in my Department on the dates in question are as follows:
Date | Headcount | Whole Time Equivalent |
---|---|---|
1 January 2017 | 293 | 275.22 |
1 January 2018 | 336 | 318.30 |
1 January 2019 | 327 | 311.25 |
I understand that my Department will recruit additional specialist and operational roles for the NPWS in 2019 which will include District Conservation Officers, Wildlife Inspectors, Conservation Rangers and Ecologists.
