NATIONAL NEWS - From 1 April, the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries will be known as the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE).
The department’s acronym change was said to be due to the completed amalgamation of forestry and fisheries functions.
This means both forestry and fisheries now officially form part of the department.
The amalgamation began in 2019 which resulted in the first name change, from the Department of Environmental Affairs to the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries.
