The Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate (CMTEDD) is a directorate of the Australian Capital Territory government, which advises the ACT Chief Minister, currently Andrew Barr.

Contents

History

The directorate originated from a few defunct separate directorates, mainly the Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate (CMCD), Treasury Directorate and the Economic Development Directorate (EDD). These directorates were created on 17 May 2011 after Katy Gallagher was elected by the Legislative Assembly as Chief Minister the day before. [1] [2]

The original directorates

Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate

Prior to May 2011, the Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate (CMCD) was previously known as the Chief Minister's Department. At the time, the department provided leadership and advice to all ACT government departments for the planning, development, co-ordination and implementation of key government policies and strategies. [3]

The administrative arrangements in May 2011 resulted in: [4]

  • renaming of Chief Minister’s Department to the Chief Minister and Cabinet Directorate (CMCD)
  • transferring Business and Industry Development, Australian Capital Tourism, Live in Canberra and Special Events to the Economic Development Directorate (EDD)
  • transferring Heritage and the Government Architect to the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate (ESDD)
  • transferring artsACT to the Community Services Directorate
  • renaming of the Governance Division to the People and Performance Division

The People and Performance Division was further renamed Workforce Capability and Governance Division on 22 July 2011.

Treasury Directorate

The Treasury Directorate was renamed from the Department of Treasury on 17 May 2011. [4] It was headed by the Treasurer, and provided strategic financial and economic advice and services to the ACT Government with the aim of improving the Territory’s financial position and economic management. [5]

Economic Development Directorate

The Economic Development Directorate was a brand new directorate formed on 17 May 2011, bringing together elements of ACT Government operations (ACT Public Service) that have a focus on economic activity which included working with the business community in relation to economic development and business support programs, the design and delivery of the government's land release program, tourism and events and sport and recreation. [4] [2]

Mergers

On 10 November 2012, the Treasury Directorate along with its Finance and Budget and Investment division and Economics division were merged into the CMCD, which was renamed Chief Minister and Treasury Directorate (CMTD). [6] This started the history of the Chief Minister and Treasury streams within the directorate.

On 7 July 2014, further administrative arrangements resulted in: [7]

Structure

The directorate is split into two streams, with following divisions and functions: [8]

As of 7 December 2020, the Chief Minister stream is headed by the Head of service and Director-General, Kathy Leigh, while the Treasury stream is headed by the Under Treasurer, David Nicol. [9] [8]

The two streams report to the following ministers: [8]

The Directorates are further broken down into "Divisions" and then by teams. Divisions usually consist of 25-50 people. There is no direct correspondence between the political responsibilities of the Ministers in the Scottish Government and the Directorates, although in some cases there is considerable overlap. The Directorates are also responsible for a number of government agencies and non-departmental public bodies. Some government work is also carried out by Executive Agencies such as Transport Scotland, who sit outside the Directorates structure, but are also staffed by civil servants
