The Department of Primary Industries was a government agency responsible for agriculture,
biosecurity, fisheries, earth resources, energy and forestry policy and programs in
the State of Victoria, Australia. The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) was established
in 2002. It was formed from the split of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment
(1996–2002) which was divided into two separate entities: The Department of Sustainability
and Environment and The Department of Primary Industries. The Department of Primary
Industries was merged with the Department of Sustainability and Environment to form
the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (Victoria) in April 2013. (Courtesy
