Department of Primary Industries and Water

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Department of Primary Industries and Water (DPIW) is the department of the Government of Tasmania responsible for management of the state's natural resources. It reports to the Minister for Primary Industries and Water; as of early 2007 this is David Llewellyn.

It was known as the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment until April 2006, when its planning responsibilities were transferred to the Department of Justice and its environment responsibilities handed to a newly constituted Department of Tourism, Arts and the Environment.
