Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife (2013 - 2017)

Summary

The Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPAW) was established in 2013 when the Department of Environment and Conservation (2006 - 2013) was dissolved and its functions split between DPAW and the newly created Department of Environment Regulation (2013 - 2017). DPAW was responsible for Western Australia's national marine and terrestrial parks, forests, and reserves as well as general conservation of Western Australian fauna and flora. In 2017 DPAW was amalgamated with the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, Zoological Parks Authority and the Rottnest Island Authority resulting in the creation of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (2017 - ).
