(1). Freedom Park’s policies are reviewed every three years unless there is legislative change or Treasury directive that warrants amendment. To my knowledge, the Fleet Management Policy has not been changed substantively in the last 5 years. The current policy was approved on 30 August 2018, reviewed without changes on 29 July 2021, and is due for the next review in July 2024.
(a). Not applicable
(b). Not applicable
(c). Not applicable
(d)(i). not applicable, (ii) not applicable
(2). No, the CEO has not been allocated a Mercedes-Benz which is the property of Freedom Park. The car referred to forms part of the fleet of vehicles belonging to Freedom Park and is not for the sole use by the CEO.
(3). The CEO does not have a designated driver. The driver is an employee of Freedom Park who executes duties as required by the organisation.
(4). There are two drivers’ positions reporting to the Infrastructure Manager and serving the entire organisation. The move in 2018 by the CEO to remove the position from the CEO’s office to Park Operations was intended to decentralise the services, so that drivers can service the whole organisation, which is the case at present.
