Department of Transport and Planning (DPT)
The Department of Transport (DoT), Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and VicRoads came together as one new Department of Transport on 1 July 2019. On 1 January 2023, DoT was renamed the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP).
The structure of this department is complex with 5 Ministers responsible for different activities, some of which overlap.
