The Natural Resources Planning Unit of the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources was created in 1965. Certain functions relating to water were transferred from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to the Minister of Land and Natural Resources. The Minister was brought in to share duties in relation to national water policy imposed by the Water Resources Act 1963, and thereafter became responsible for the Water Resources Board and related functions. With the demise of the Ministry in 1967, responsibility for water reverted to the Water Services Division of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. |
