Department of Energy and Water Supply (Queensland)

The Department of Energy and Water Supply (Queensland) was a former department of the Queensland Government in Australia. Its primary responsibility was the management and regulation of Queensland's energy and water resources. This included overseeing the electricity industry, the water supply infrastructure, and the state's water resources.

The Department was responsible for policy development, strategic planning, and regulatory oversight related to energy and water. Key functions included ensuring the reliable and affordable supply of electricity and water to Queensland residents and businesses, managing water resources sustainably to support economic development and environmental needs, and promoting energy efficiency and the uptake of renewable energy technologies.

The Department's work often involved close collaboration with other government agencies, industry stakeholders, and community groups. It played a crucial role in planning for future energy and water needs, particularly in the context of population growth, climate change, and technological advancements.

The functions previously performed by the Department of Energy and Water Supply have since been absorbed into other Queensland Government departments following machinery of government changes. Therefore, the Department as a standalone entity no longer exists.
