Director General's report (extract)
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of important work our department and our people do across Western Australia.
Through our efforts protecting and growing our primary industries and regions, we touch all aspects of the community, including by supporting food supply, facilitating business growth, innovation and economic diversification, as well as sustaining the land and aquatic resources we all enjoy.
To ensure we can continue our influence and effectiveness, we must always aim to best position ourselves to meet the ever-evolving opportunities and challenges facing WA’s primary industries and regions. To achieve this, we implemented key changes to our executive leadership and pillar structure and recruited for key positions this year.
This included establishing a dedicated Biosecurity and Emergency Management pillar recognising the need for a strong focus on biosecurity in the face of increasing pest and disease threats.
We also created new executive director positions and appointments within our Primary Industries Development (PID) pillar to elevate our important role in research and development (R&D). Our new structure will help ensure we can perform at our best and take the department confidently into the future.
