Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

My Department did not incur any expenditure on public relations in 2017, and has not incurred any expenditure on public relations to date in 2018.

My Department’s Press Office provides public relations services and the engagement of external expertise is generally only considered where the issues involved require specific expert skills that are not readily available within the Department.
