NSW Dept of Planning and Environment

The Department of Land and Water Conservation was established on 6 April 1995 when the former Department of Conservation and Land Management, the Department of Water Resources and the Water Services Policy Division of the Department of Public Works were amalgamated. The new Department also included the Catchment Assessment Commission and the National Resources Audit Council from the Cabinet Office. The new Department centralised the natural resource management responsibilities previously spread across several administrative units. The Department was responsible for helping the community to maximise the long-term benefits received from its natural resources through the management of nearly all of the State’s land, water, coastal, and vegetation resources, including maintenance of the property data bases critical to the economic and social security of the State in a concept known as ‘Total Catchment Management’. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
