Department of Environment and Conservation (Australia)
The Department of Environment and Conservation was an Australian governmentdepartment that existed between December1972 and April1975.
History
The Department was one of several new Departments established by the Whitlam Government, a wide restructuring that revealed some of the new government's program.
The Department was abolished in April 1975, to be replaced by the Department of the Environment. At the time, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam said that the reason for the re‑badging was that that the name 'Department of Environment and Conservation' suggested that conservation was a separate matter from the environment, whereas it was in fact a major component of the Government's total environment program.
Scope
Information about the department's functions and/or government funding allocation could be found in the Administrative Arrangements Orders, the annual Portfolio Budget Statements and in the Department's annual reports.
According to the Administrative Arrangements Order issued 19December1972, at its creation, the Department was responsible for activities related to:
Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia)
The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) was a department of the Government of Western Australia that was responsible for implementing the state's conservation and environment legislation and regulations. It was formed on 1 July 2006 by the amalgamation of the Department of Environment (DoE) and the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM).
The DEC was separated on 30 June 2013 forming the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) and the Department of Environment Regulation (DER) which both commenced operations on 1 July 2013.
DPaW focuses on nature conservation and the community’s enjoyment and appreciation of Western Australia’s world-class network of national and marine parks.
DER focuses on environmental regulation, approvals and appeals processes, and pollution prevention.
Status (At Dissolution)
The department was managing more than 240,000km², including more than nine per cent of WA's land area: its national parks, marine parks, conservation parks, regional parks, State forests and timber reserves, nature reserves, roadside reserves and marine nature reserves. It provided visitor and recreation facilities at a sustainable level for many of these.
An environmental ministry is a national or subnational government agency politically responsible for the environment and/or natural resources. Various other names are commonly used to identify such agencies, such as Ministry of the Environment, Department of the Environment, Department for the Environment, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Natural Resources, and so forth. Such agencies typically address environmental concerns such as the maintenance of environmental quality, nature preserves, the sustained use of natural resources, and prevention of pollution or contamination of the natural environment. Following is a list of environmental ministries by country:
The Secretary of State for the Environment was a UK cabinet position, responsible for the Department of the Environment (DoE). This was created by Edward Heath as a combination of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Building and Works on 15 October 1970. Thus it managed a mixed portfolio of issues: housing and planning, local government, public buildings, environmental protection and, initially, transport - James Callaghan gave transport its own department again in 1976. It has been asserted that during the Thatcher government the DoE led the drive towards centralism, and the undermining of local government. Particularly, the concept of 'inner cities policy', often involving centrally negotiated public-private partnerships and centrally appointed development corporations, which moved control of many urban areas to the centre, and away from their, often left-wing, local authorities.
It was created in its current form on February 14, 2006 when it was separated from the Department of Environment and Local Government. It has however existed in this form on previous occasions.
It was first formed by PremierRichard Hatfield when he took office following the 1970 election. In 2000, then Premier Bernard Lord fused it with the Department of Municipalities to create the aforementioned Department of Environment and Local Government only to split them back in two six years later.

Environment Matters 2021: Protecting WA's most valuable natural asset
Presented by the Conservation Council of WA and the Wilderness Society WA, this event highlights the extent and impact of native vegetation clearing across Western Australia, and offers a pathway forward to help protect one of our most valuable natural assets to achieve a zero loss of habitat for endangered wildlife in WA.
More about this event:
Western Australia's most valuable natural asset is its native vegetation.
Our forests, woodlands and low-lying native vegetation play a critical role in providing habitat for threatened fauna, preserving biodiversity and acting as a buttress against climate change by storing huge quantities of carbon. The declining rates of native vegetation across the state's bioregions and fundamental shortfalls in monitoring and enforcement require the WA gov...

How to measure and report monthly groundwater use at Western Australian schools
Measuring bore water use is an important way for our Western Australian school communities to be #waterwise. To make this easier, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has created a video to support schools to record and report their groundwater use.
This video provides a simple and easy-to-follow guide for public schools, who are responsible for taking and reporting their monthly meter readings from their groundwater bores.

Island paradise home to nuclear bomb tests | 60 Minutes Australia
(2013) The Montebello Islands off the coast of Western Australia are so far flung, so off the beaten track, that most of us have no idea they're even part of Australia. Which is exactly why the British chose them as a site to conduct nuclear bomb tests back in the 1950s. The British Navy detonated three massive atomic bombs and, in the process, obliterated a marine paradise. More than 60 years later, you'd expect to find a scorched wasteland. Instead, it's one of nature's most breathtaking comebacks.
