Exciting regional leadership opportunities that will help shape outcomes for communities across Victoria

The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) delivers programs and policy across Victoria’s energy, environment, climate action, and water portfolios. At the heart of this work, the Regions, Environment, Climate Action and First Peoples (RECAFP) Group brings together expertise in climate action, circular economy, environmental protection, and public land management. Through six regional divisions, DEECA Regions works with portfolio agencies, communities, service delivery partners and stakeholders to deliver integrated, place-based services and projects.
