Department of Premier and Cabinet annual report 2013-14

Abstract

This annual report documents the activities and performance of the New South Wales Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC) for the 2013-2014 financial year. The report outlines significant changes in the department's structure, with the Office of Environment and Heritage, Division of Local Government, and Parliamentary Counsel's Office becoming separate agencies in February 2014 under the Government Sector Employment Act 2013. Key achievements included implementing the Rebuilding NSW Plan for $20 billion in infrastructure investment, developing responses to ICAC investigations, strengthening lobbying regulations, and leading cross-government initiatives in areas such as child protection, social policy, and service delivery reform. The department continued its role in supporting the Premier and Cabinet through policy coordination, legislative support, and whole-of-government leadership. Financial statements show the department recorded a net result of $82 million, with total revenue of $1.05 billion and expenses of $965 million. The report also details progress on NSW 2021 State Plan targets, corporate governance improvements, and workplace initiatives including a move to new premises implementing activity-based working. This report provides comprehensive documentation of the department's operations during a period of significant organizational change while maintaining its central agency coordination role.
