To notify and seek approval to add a permanent post to the establishment to meet the changing needs of the Housing Directorate and for future requirements to support projects, including Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).
AGREED To restructure the ICT & DS Business Unit with the objective of creating one additional permanent position.
To ensure adequate capacity for both present and future workloads, it is essential to align organisational and community plan objectives with anticipated requirements for LGR.
