About Us

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania (NRE Tas) is responsible for delivering a sustainable Tasmania.

​We deliver a sustainable Tasmania by protecting and enhancing Tasmania's cultural and natural values; facilitating productive and sustainable industries; and by promoting the sustainable use, presentation, and enjoyment of our cultural and natural values. How we plan to do this is articulated in our Strategic Plan​. 

The NRE Tas annual report provides a snapshot of the work we do.
