NSW Industry & Investment merges taxonomies with a.k.a.®

The NSW Department of Industry and Investment evolved from the merger of multiple government agencies, including Agriculture, Energy, Fisheries, Forestry, Mining, and State Development. Each agency brought it’s own classification scheme and retention schedule. These had to be merged into a single harmonised whole and uploaded into the department’s HP TRIM recordkeeping system. A new disposal authority (retention schedule) was also required to cover the new entity.
