EmploymentThere are a number of policies relating to the achievement of employment objectives viaQueensland government construction contracts. They include the IndigenousEmployment Policy, which has the stated objective of maximising:“…. the potential employment opportunities on Queensland Government buildingand civil construction projects and address skills shortages in Indigenouscommunities. It also aims to build Indigenous capacity to participate in buildingand civil construction.” (Indigenous Employment Policy for QueenslandGovernment Building and Civil Construction Projects n.d., p.2)The Policy has been designed to meet these objectives by requiring contractors to ensurethat employment and accredited training occurs on Queensland Government building andcivil construction projects in specified Indigenous communities. The Policy was initiallyimplemented in 2001. A review of the policy was conducted in 2003, with the current,policy being the outcome of that review. The current policy was implemented on the 1 stJanuary 2004.The Policy has been implemented through placing a minimum employment and trainingrequirement on all Queensland State Government building and construction contracts inspecified Indigenous communities that have a total contract value exceeding $100,000 forbuilding contracts, and any value for civil construction contracts. The policy replaces the10% Training Policy in specified Indigenous communities with a requirement that aminimum of 20% of the deemed labour hours 8 be undertaken by Indigenous people8 The Policy defines deemed labour hours for building construction projects as being 30% of the GSTexclusive total contract price divided by $35/hour times 20%. For civil construction projects it definesdeemed labour hours as being 15% of the GST exclusive total contract price divided by $35/hour times20%.17
ecruited from the local community. Half of the 20% of these hours are to be inaccredited training.The sponsoring agency for this policy is the Queensland Department of Employment andIndustrial Relations. Its legislated tasks include overseeing the overall implementationand monitoring of the policy. The contracting agencies are responsible for tasks relatingto the incorporation of appropriate contractual requirements in tender documents;informing the sponsoring agency of contracts that fall under the policy; ensuring that anytendering pre-qualification process is compliant with the policy; and liaising with thesponsoring agency with regard to determining the strategies for dealing with contractornon-compliance. Additional contract management tasks for contractors include:coordination and development of employment and training project plans to identify skillsneeds and availability; and completion of compliance forms.A further policy aimed at promoting employment is the Local Industry Policy 9 . This hasthe objective of maximising the use of local goods, services and labour in majorgovernment resource and infrastructure projects, and through this provide economicbenefits to Queensland and the project proponents. As stated in the policy document(“Local Industry Policy” n.d., p.2):“Whilst recognising that investment decisions are made in a competitive globalmarket, it is desirable to achieve the maximum level of local content in goods,services and labour where these are competitive as to price, quality, and deliveryrequirements.”The policy was developed by the Queensland Department of Premier and Cabinet over asix month period, and then the responsibility for implementation of the policy was passed9 The description of the Local Industry Policy is based on the version of the policy whichapplied at the time of writing. A new version of the policy is now available and can beaccessed at:http://www.dtrdi.qld.gov.au/dsdweb/v3/documents/objdirctrled/nonsecure/pdf/32014.pdf18
