22. How many vacant positions are there in the Department as a whole?

The total NTPFES establishment number at 31 March 2010 was 1,758 and total FTE was 1,771

Some positions are vacant due to circumstances that are unique to this agency and will not necessarily result in any recruitment action. NTPFES uses establishment management methods which allow flexibility of staff deployment to areas of greatest need as they arise. This will result in vacant positions in some areas while staffing is increased in other areas but does not create a situation where a vacant position necessarily needs to be filled.

23. How long, in total days, have permanent positions been vacant in the department?

Travel insurance is the only insurance expense incurred as at 31 March 2010 and totals - $587.14.

NTPFES is generally self insured.

Climate Change:

58. How many tonnes of CO2 did the department emit in 2009?

The Northern Territory Government has committed to become carbon neutral by 2018 under the

Northern Territory Climate Change Policy

. Under this target, whole of government systems to account for greenhouse gas emissions according to recognised international greenhouse accounting standards will be progressively rolled out over the next eight years for Government processes.

Currently, the Northern Territory Government reports against building energy consumption use by Government agencies with more than 50 full time equivalent staff members, and for vehicle emissions from NT Fleet vehicles.

59. How many tonnes of CO2 did the department emit in 2008?

In 2007-08, the NTPFES’ preliminary building energy consumption was 42,932 giga joules corresponding to 8,874 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2008-09, the NTPFES’ preliminary

building energy consumption was 43,796 giga joules corresponding to 9,548 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

Emissions from NTPFES vehicles at 31 March 2009 were 2.865 tonnes.

60. What programs and strategies were introduced to reduce CO2 emissions across the department in 2009?

The NTPFES has initiated a number of strategies to reduce its carbon emissions during 2008-09 including:

Peter McAulay Centre, Main Building

Airconditioning vents – ongoing installation of cushion head vents that close when desired temperature is reached. This lowers airflow pressure and allows the airconditioning plant to run more efficiently;

Airconditioning timers – each floor operates on timers and has been further manually adjusted to reflect operational requirements. Currently all floors and annexure has programmed airconditioning between 4am and 8pm only.

Peter McAulay Centre, Other Buildings

Police College – replaced air conditioning controls and linked into the current Building Management System. This allows efficient zoning and management of the College’s airconditioning plant.

Gymnasium – replaced air-conditioning system which was beyond economic repair.

Other Buildings

New Casuarina Police Station will have significantly lower energy intensity per square meter than the old station.

The 5 new remote multi-purpose police stations to be constructed over the next three years, each with 4 houses, will have solar hot water systems installed to the station and houses.

Previous projects at Peter McAulay Centre include:

Power-factor-correction

– The Main, College and the Forensic buildings have installed power-factor-correction devices that even out energy spikes and reduce energy consumption.

Airconditioning system

- considerable work has been conducted on the Main Building’s airconditioning system to improve the operation of the main plant and energy efficiency. This has included:

replacement of airconditioning air handling units and main chillers;

cleaning of several airconditioning coils and ducts;

adjustment of time-clocks to minimise after hours usage; and

installation of several split system airconditioning units for small areas that are required to work after normal business hours.

Energy efficient lighting

- considerable work has been conducted including:

the sphere light fittings for PMC car parks and roadways have been upgraded;

street lights to the visiting/single officer’s quarters are all timer driven. The pool/tennis courts lights are also on timers;

the Agency changes to energy efficient light bulbs wherever it can. NTPFES use low energy tri-phosphorous tubes;

PMC Main Building lighting – reduction of 4 fluorescent lights in each ceiling cavity to 3 on fluoro replacement;

motion activated light sensors have been installed in some areas. JESCC has a computer managed lighting system to modify lighting based on shifts and Tri-Service sections within; and

NAB House runs energy efficient lighting and air-conditioning systems.

Vehicles:
NTPFES now purchases the turbo-diesel Hilux vehicle in lieu of the previously purchased base model Workmate Hilux. This has resulted in a 28% reduction in carbon emissions (grams per kilometre) for each vehicle. Hilux’s make up 30% of the vehicle fleet and therefore a considerable reduction is being achieved.
The Agency has two hybrid vehicles for the NTPFES vehicle fleet. Also the prisoner transport cages utilise natural ventilation (no air-conditioning required) unlike many other jurisdictions.
Other:
The agency promotes good energy efficient behaviour and work place practices amongst staff, including:
Computers and other applicable appliances are turned off on leaving the workplace where 24/7 operations are not required;
Shared drives have been established so that documents can be accessed by several users, thus minimising printing of documents; and
Single printer, scanner and fax machines are being installed to service a large number of users, which replaces multiple devices, thus saving energy usage.

61. Has a target for departmental CO2 emissions been set for the coming financial year -

(a) If yes, what % reduction is that from 2009; and

(b) If no, why has a target not been set.

The NTPFES is working towards the reduction target set in the Northern Territory Government Energy Smart Buildings Policy for the 2010-11 financial year.

That target is a 10% reduction in energy usage per square metre across the Agency’s building portfolio compared to a 2004-05 baseline.

In addition, NTPFES is working towards the reduction target set in the Northern Territory Greening the Fleet Strategy that aims to reduce emissions form the Territory Government’s passenger and light commercial fleet by 20% by 2014 and 50% by 2020.

Vehicles:

62. How much was spent on vehicles by the Department in 2009?

$8.3 million.

63. How many vehicles does the Department have responsibility for?

600.

64. What is the change, if any, in these vehicle numbers from 2008?

30.

65. What proportion of those vehicles meet the emission standard of 5.5 out of 10 under the Commonwealth Government’s Green Vehicle Guide?

33%. Vehicles that do not meet the emission standard are due to specific operational requirements such as traffic pursuit vehicles and the Territory Response Sections counter disaster vehicles.

66. How many vehicles are home garaged?

At 30 April 2010, there were 79 vehicles home garaged.

67. What is the policy in relation to home garaging vehicles?

For Contract Officers, home garaging of motor vehicles is in line with their employment conditions. With regard to the remainder of the agency’s vehicles, cases of monthly standing or overnight approval to home garage a motor vehicle requires the written approval of the relevant Divisional Police Superintendent, NT Fire and Rescue Service Divisional Officer, Director NT Emergency Service or Executive Director, Corporate Service, provided:

1. the driver is undertaking duties requiring the use of that motor vehicle prior to the commencement of their next rostered shift;

2 the driver is performing duties in the field (away from the station or work place) using a motor vehicle and it is operationally expedient and cost effective to go straight home after work rather than returning to the workplace;

3 the driver proceeds to duty away from their normal workplace directly from their home on the following day; and

4 the driver is liable to be recalled to duty and/or is “on-call” and the home garaging of the vehicle is operationally necessary.

68. What position levels have vehicles attached or are allowed to home garage?

Home garaging of vehicles is allowed for NTPFES Contract Officers in line with their employment conditions and Police Superintendents as per the

PATD

All other home garaging is to be in line with the policy above.
