Changes in Treasury
During the year
From 1 September 2007, the Shared Service Agency (SSA) transferred from Queensland Treasury to the Department of Public Works (DPW). This move will take advantage of strong relationships between the SSA, DPW and CITEC’s whole-of-Government ICT and procurement initiatives, and continue the Government’s commitment to high quality, cost-effective corporate-support services across the public sector.
From 1 October 2007, the Liquor Licensing Division joined Treasury from the former Department of Tourism, Fair Trading and Wine Industry Development. This activity will continue liquor licensing’s commitments to help achieve safer communities while promoting industry growth.
Also from 1 October, the Office of Racing moved from the former Department of Local Government, Sport and Recreation to Queensland Treasury. This move will uphold Racing’s commitments to maintaining public confidence in the integrity and accountability of the State’s racing industry.
In early 2008, the Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency (QORE) joined Queensland Treasury from the Department of Tourism, Regional Development and Industry. QORE will remain focused on developing a regulatory environment that supports Queensland’s growing economy through good public policy.
In the year ahead
To ensure communities benefit from a more robust regulatory framework, and more comprehensive and consistent harm-minimisation measures, Treasury’s liquor, gaming and racing functions will be integrated to form the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing from 1 July 2008.
Also from that date, CorpTech will transfer from Queensland Treasury to DPW, again taking advantage of relationships with CITEC’s and DPW’s whole-of-Government ICT and procurement reform initiatives. CorpTech will continue working with shared service providers and agencies to develop standard public sector business solutions.
