Role of DECC
The Department of Environment and Climate Change is a new agency formed on 27 April 2007. With the change, the former Department of Environment and Conservation is taking on new and renamed programs to build a broader organisation able to respond to the unprecedented challenge presented by climate change. The new department brings together a range of conservation and natural resources science and programs, including native vegetation, biodiversity and environmental water recovery to provide an integrated approach to natural resource management.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is part of the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC). It was established in 1967 to administer a fledgling system of national parks. Since then, our responsibilities have been greatly expanded and we now manage nearly six million hectares of parks and reserves – more than seven per cent of all land in NSW. We manage a variety of protected areas, including national parks, nature reserves, Aboriginal areas, historic sites, state conservation areas and regional parks.

The Australian Government Envirofund (the Envirofund) is a funding programme that helps local communities undertake important on-ground environmental activities. The Australian Government introduced the Envirofund in 2002 as the local action component of the Australian Government's $5.1 billion Natural Heritage Trust. It helps community groups and individuals undertake small projects aimed at conserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable natural resource use.

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is responsible for activities which enhance the natural resource base on which our portfolio industries rely by: developing national initiatives to address issues of sustainable resources management and use conducting research to build an information base and encourage information-sharing, and administering programmes that promote widespread adoption of sustainable natural resource management practices.
