Description:

To prepare and implement a general agicultural policy for the State. A director was appointed in 1910, after the repeal of the earlier Department of Agiculture Act, and the appointment was formalised by 2 Geo V No.2. The Department was reorganised in 1928, folowing a report by the Development and Migration Commission, but its role remained unchanged. Until 1927 the department was known as the Department of Agriculture and Stock. On 17 July 1989 the department of Agriculture was amalgamated with the Department of Sea Fisheries to form the Department of Primary Industries.
