The Department of State and Regional Development and Tourism NSW have become part of the new Department of Industry & Investment, following Administrative Orders issued on 27 July.

The new department has been established to provide stronger support to NSW industry in creating jobs and leveraging investment. For stakeholders and customers, the department’s focus during this transitional phase is on continuity of business, front-line work and ultimately better, more integrated services.

Other agencies in the new department are:

• Primary Industries
• Energy
• NSW Food Authority
• NSW Film & Television Office (Screen NSW)
• Forests NSW
• Rural Assistance Authority
• Game Council of NSW
• Mine Subsidence Board
