Dear Mr Smith

 

Please see BDC responses to your further queries of 6 March as below:

 

“Was Curly appointed as Port Manager ?

I don't recall that ever being announced.

Trevor James was employed during 2018. 

We do not hold information on file as to whether this was announced, this
is therefore refused under Section 17 (e), that this information does not
exist, or despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be found.

 

There must have been a Port Manager job description.

 1. . . It appears the last appointee was Rudi, I am requesting a copy of
his job description.

    Please see first attachment

 

Other replies have indicated that Domonic is doing the combined role.

He was originally the Harbour Master. He has admitted the job he is doing
now is different to the position he applied for.

 

The responsibilities of the role have evolved over time to align with the
changing needs of the organisation and the community.

When a new appointee steps into a position, it is not uncommon for aspects
of the role to be adjusted to better utilise their expertise and respond
to emerging priorities.

 

These changes ensure that the role remains fit for purpose and continues
to deliver the best outcomes

 

 2. . . Could you please provide the current job description for Domonic
Venz ?

                  Please see second attachment

 

Once again the public was never informed of his change in status either.

No change in status as he is still the harbour master after appointment.
No reason for public announcement.

This would be a senior position, the top job at the port.”

 

 

Kind regards
