History
The Department of Energy and Water Supply was established on 3 April 2012,[4] as part of a series of changes to the machinery of government after the LNP's win at the 2012 election.[5] The department took on some functions of the Department of Environment and Resource Management and the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, which were both dissolved.[6] In 2017 the department was merged with the Department of Natural Resources and Mines to form the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy.
