Our department

All of our activity - new and existing; high profile and routine - is aimed at achieving our goals.

To help us deliver services efficiently to government, business and to the community, our organisational structure is based on six discrete but complementary functions.

1. Strategy Directorate

Plans the strategic direction for DENR, aligning it to the expectations of the government, supports the Minister and Chief Executive in their roles, and guides how we engage with the public.

2. Policy Directorate

Develops policy and provides advice to advance the government's environmental and natural resources management priorities at agency, regional, state and national levels. This includes the strategic and procedural policy that guides and influences decision-making.

3. Client Services Directorate

Provides scientific knowledge and environmental information that aids decision-making; makes environmental information and knowledge easy to find, understand and use; and provides a range of scientific and other centralised services to the public and government.

4. Regional Services Directorate

With Regional Natural Resources Management (NRM) Boards, provides integrated environmental and natural resources services including management of the public land estate (parks, reserves and crown lands).

5. Corporate Services Directorate

Supports DENR to be a high performing government department, providing financial, business operations, asset management, human resources and occupational health and safety policies and services.
