Following the WA State Election in March 2025, the Government announced targeted reforms involving nine departments that came into effect on 1 July 2025. The reform included reshaping the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety so that its industry regulation and safety functions join local government, and racing, gaming and liquor functions (previously part of the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries).
The department is renamed to the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety.
