Role and responsibilities

edit

Minister for Railways (1916-1929)

edit

The first public railway line in New South Wales was the Sydney–Parramatta Railway which opened on 26 September 1855.[2] Railways were operated by New South Wales Government Railways which was under the supervision of a single Commissioner for Railways until 1888, 3 commissioners until 1907,[3] before returning to a Chief Commissioner from 1907.[4] The Treasurer had ministerial responsibility for railways.[5]

The portfolio of Minister for Railways was created in the Holman Nationalist ministry and had operational responsibility for the railways while the Secretary for Public Works had responsibility for authorising expenditure on any new lines or extensions that exceeded £20,000. The separation however was only at a department level as the portfolio was always held by the Secretary for Public Works.[5]

In the second Fuller ministry the portfolio of Labour and Industry was divided up, with the Minister for Railways receiving the additional responsibilities for state industrial enterprises.[6] The portfolio returned to be the Minister for Railways from the first Lang ministry.

Colonial Treasurer and Minister for Transport (1929-present)

edit

On 16 April 1929 Ernest Buttenshaw, the Secretary for Public Works and Minister for Railways, became Acting Premier during the absence of Thomas Bavin and resigned the railways portfolio. The ministerial office was not filled and instead the railways department was administered by the Colonial Treasurer.[7] The operation of railways remained the responsibility of the Treasurer in the third Lang ministry until 22 March 1932. The portfolio of Minister for Transport was created under Ministry of Transport Act No. 3, 1932.[8][9][7]
