Agency history

[edit]

In 2006 the New South Wales Government commissioned an inquiry into government administration by Dr Michael VertiganAC and Nigel Stokes, entitledNew South Wales audit of expenditure and assets report or more commonly theVertigan Report.[8]

Prior to 2007 separate agencies existed, entitled the Premier's Department of New South Wales and theNew South Wales Cabinet Office, the latter established in 1988. PremierMorris Iemma merged the two agencies into the new Department of Premier and Cabinet[9] under the direction ofRobyn Kruk after the 2006 resignation of the Director General of the Cabinet Office, Roger Wilkins,[10] and replacing the long-term Director General of Premier's Department, Col Gellatly,[11] who served under PremierCarr.[12]

In 2008, following the resignation of Premier Iemma,Nathan Rees replaced Kruk withJohn Lee, a seniorpublic servant in theNew South Wales Department of Transport and brother ofMichael Lee, a formerLabor Federal Minister andCouncillor of theCity of Sydney.[13][14] In June 2009, Rees announced a restructure of the New South Wales Government and the creation of 13 super departments aimed at delivering better government services. The Department of Premier and Cabinet was named as the lead agency; responsible for the implementation of the new plan.[15] Additionally, the Department of Premier and Cabinet became responsible to a number of Ministers. In addition to the Premier, the Ministers for the Central Coast, the Hunter, the Illawarra, Infrastructure, Local Government, Police, Public Sector Reform, Regulatory Reform, Women, and the Assisting the Premier on Veterans’ Affairs, and the Special Minister of State all were responsible for various functions administered by the Department of Premier and Cabinet.[16] Following the December 2009 appointment ofKristina Keneally as Premier, Keneally announced that the restructure plan would continue to be implemented, whilst at the same time replacing Lees with Brendan O'Reilly.[17]

Following the NSWcoalition's victory at the2011 state election,Liberal PremierBarry O'Farrell replaced O'Reilly with Chris Eccles on 4 April 2011.[18] By August 2011, a revised agency structure was formalised,[19] together with an overlying management structure[20] that led to the creation of offices and divisions covering local government, planning and infrastructure including strategic lands, environment and heritage including environment and climate change, national parks and wildlife, western Sydney, parliamentary counsel, and general counsel. A further restructure took place following the2015 state election when PremierMike Baird transferred the functions of investment attraction, trade and tourism, and major events from theTrade and Industry to Premier and Cabinet.[21] Minor changes to the portfolio were made following the2019 state election when the number of clusters were reduced from ten to eight.[7]

In April 2023, new Labor PremierChris Minns announced that the Department of Premier and Cabinet would be split back into the Premier's Department andThe Cabinet Office on 1 July 2023.[1][2]

Agency inquiries

[edit]

In 2007, the Director General of the Department referred a matter toNSW Police following allegation thatPaul Gibson had allegedly assaultedSandra Nori, a parliamentary colleague of Gibson's with whom he had a relationship.[69] In 2010, the Department coordinated investigations into claims thatIan Macdonald, a disgraced former Minister, had rorted his travel allowances.[70] During 2010, theAuditor General of New South Wales accused the agency of establishing special deals with contracted public servants which resulted in them receiving a form ofgolden handshake. Premier Keneally defended the Department and stated that,"nobody in my government has those sorts of arrangements".[71]
