The Economic Development Directorate was established on 17 May 2011. There are three ministerial portfolios that have responsibilities within this directorate: Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation and Minister for Gaming and Racing.

Within my ministerial portfolios and since the establishment of the Directorate and 23 February 2012, there have been three investigations requested.

One investigation was undertaken within the portfolio responsibility of the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation.

One investigation was undertaken within the portfolio responsibility of the Minister for Economic Development.

One request within the portfolio responsibility of the Minister for Economic Development was withdrawn.
