Summary

In 2012 the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (2009 - 2012) was abolished and its functions were distributed across nine newly created Queensland Government Departments. The Department of Energy and Water Supply was one of these nine departments. It held responsibilities in the areas of renewable and nuclear energy, the Queensland electricity and gas industry and Queensland's dams, water supply, recycling, and regulation. In 2017 the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (2012 - 2017) (III) combined with the Department of Energy and Water Supply to create the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (II) (2017 - ).
