The New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), a division of the Government of New South Wales, is responsible for the protection and conservation the New South Wales environment, including the natural environment, Aboriginal country, culture and heritage and built heritage, and manages national parks and reserves within the state. The OEH is part of the Department of Planning and Environment. The Chief Executive of the Office of Environment and Heritage is Terry Bailey; who reports to the Minister for the Environment and Minister for Heritage, the Hon. Mark Speakman, MP. ==History== Government agencies for the protection and conservation of natural and built resources in New South Wales have existed since the appointment of the first Minister for Conservation, the Hon. Captain Bill Dunn, MLA in 1946. The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) was formed following the merger of the Environment Protection Authority, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Botanic Gardens Trust, and Resource NSW. This agency contained the Office of Water, which was formed from the New South Wales Department of Water and Energy, formed in 2007 and dissolved in 2009; other parts and responsibilities of the Department of Water and Energy were transferred to the Division of Minerals and Energy in Industry & Investment New South Wales. At previous times DECCW was known as the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC). Following the election of the O'Farrell government at the 2011 state election, the functions of the DECCW were broken up with its responsibilities split between the new Office of Environment and Heritage and the residual functions managed by the Industry, Innovation and Investment Division of the Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services. The OEH was managed under the direction of the Department of Premier and Cabinet until 2014, when the Baird government changed the reporting arrangements so that the OEH now reports to the Department of Planning and Environment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Office of Environment and Heritage (New South Wales)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
