The Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries will change its name to the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), effective April 1.

Following the announcement of the sixth administration in 2019, forestry and fisheries functions were amalgamated into the Department of Environmental Affairs, which became known as the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries.

"The formation of the DFFE is now complete, with all the relevant officials having been transferred to the newly amalgamated department," the department said in a March 31 statement.
