The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) Functional Structure follows on from the previously released draft structure that did not specifically list all existing DPTI functions. This was purposely done as an invitation to staff to input as to how the structure should be built.

The Functional Structure has been developed and revised (10 October 2014) based upon feedback provided to date from across the Department.

We acknowledge that staff are seeking greater clarity regarding the alignment of functions. The Functional Structure outlines the overall responsibilities of the three Divisions and provides further detail about their overall objectives. This further detail will begin to assist staff to identify where the work they currently undertake aligns in the new structure.

The Functional Structure details draft Directorates that align to a number of functions within each Division. Further alignment of these functions may occur to harness greater opportunities. Therefore, the naming and grouping of these Directorates is subject to further feedback and discussion.

An interim organisational structure has also been developed and revised (10 October 2014) to enable staff to determine their current reporting arrangements within the new Divisions.

The Functional Structure will be used to inform the newly appointed Chief Officers who will be responsible for implementing the departmental rejuvenation.

Departmental RejuvenationFunctional Structure

People and Business DivisionWorking collaboratively with the Chief Executive and the Executive team the Chief Corporate Officer will lead the People and Business Division to identify ways to deliver exceptional service provision across the organisation, manage and direct all aspects of workforce development, financial management, strategic planning and ensure regulatory compliance. Building a values based culture through consultation and change will enhance the organisation’s successful way forward for the future.

The People and Business Division will take responsibility for ensuring that our financial resources are managed well and deliver the best investment outcomes for the state by bringing together all departmental finance, procurement and contract management functions.   The procurement and contract management function will take up the

roles from the old divisions and be established based on the review once received in this area.

The Division will also be responsible for the delivery of new whole of department approaches to customer engagement and services, information technology and the management of people and performance.   This includes the management of all business support functions previously delivered through the old divisions to ensure that we have the flexibility and capability to meet the needs of the new department.  

There will be a single Ministerial/Cabinet area and a single legal services area to manage prosecutions and Crown advice.  It is also proposed to draw together all internal audit, risk management and investigation resources (including safety) into the one area to ensure our expertise is shared more evenly and that a number of small disparate teams across the old structure are better supported.  Same too with learning and development.
