Merger proposal edit

I propose merging Department of Planning, Industry and Environment into Department of Planning and Environment (New South Wales). Main reason being that based on the latest Administrative Arrangements, the DPIE has been renamed DPE on 21 December 2021. It is convention that government departments formed from merging or demerging have their own Wikipedia pages. However, in essence the latest DPIE (since April 2020) is the same as previous incarnation of DPE and the now-established DPE, and they should all be merged into one article. It can be rewritten such that in April 2019, the department absorbed the functions from Department of Industry and renamed DPIE, then the (Primary) Industry portion of it got transferred away to the new Department of Regional NSW in April 2020 with the department retaining the DPIE name, before simplifying to the DPE name in December 2021.

  • SUPPORT. Administrative Arrangement (p. 8) clearly shows that DPIE has been renamed DPE. For ease of continuity, I support as long as transitional arrangements between April 2019 and December 2021 can be clearly covered in the body of the article to reflect changes in agency names and agency functions over this period.

  • Nom comment: Recent official reports from DPIE and its official Twitter account now signs off as Department of Planning and Envrionment: e.g. [1] [2]. Additionally, websites of DPE agencies have updated by referring the department by its new name (see October 2021 vs now). It is just the DPIE website itself that hasn't updated anything yet, but it is clear that the change of name is definitely official and effective. Marcnut1996 (talk) 09:33, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
