Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management (2009 - 2012)

Summary

The Department of Environment and Resource Management was established in 2009, it took on the responsibilities and functions of the dissolved Environmental Protection Agency (1968 - 2009) and the Department of Natural Resources and Water (2006 - 2009). These responsibilities and functions include water resource management and recycling, marine parks and native forests management, quarry sales, land titles, conservation, climate change policy and science, and environmental planning. In 2009 a major restructure resulted in the renaming of the Department of Environment and Resource Management to the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (2012-2017). Some functions of the Department of Environment and Resource Management (parks for example) were transferred to the Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sports and Racing (2012-2015).
