As at 30 September 2012, the Department had an establishment of 767 posts, all of which were funded and 69 posts were additional to the approved establishment. The number of posts filled decreased from 529 in 2009/10 to 524 in 2012/13, as a result of the restructuring undertaken in 2010/11 and 2011/12, when the Department was reorganised around the different transport modes. No appointments were made until the structure was finalised in 2012/13. The Department has now started to fill posts again for the first time since 2009. It is expected that the number of posts will increase from 524 in 2012/13 to 801 over the medium term, 35.1 per cent of which will be in the Administration programme. Administration has grown because it has taken on additional functions such as the programme management unit. Over the medium term, it will capacitate the internal audit unit. The balance of the posts will be in the Rail Transport, Road Transport, Civil Aviation, Maritime Transport and Public Transport programmes which are expected over the medium term to enhance their capacity to oversee transfers to public entities and other levels of government.
