Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water

Voting Representative : Chris Nielsen

Queensland’s Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water works to ensure the responsible and sustainable use of natural resources – water, land, minerals and energy – for the benefit of current and future generations of Queenslanders. Partnerships with our customers and stakeholders are important to us, as we work to deliver policies, programs and services that support industry while reflecting the needs of the broader community. The Department has a role in managing the safety of dams, including regulating the safety of referable dams and managing several state-owned dams and weirs.
