Despite the name, the DPI was no longer a department of the New South Wales government from July 2011 until its abolition. The DPI was part of the Department of Regional NSW (which was a government department) since April 2020, and was previously part of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.[1] On 1 July 2024, the DPI was abolished and merged into the Department of Regional NSW, with the latter renamed Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.[2][3]
The DPI headquarters was located in Orange.
