Departmental Facilities and Records

Signposts also gives historical information about facilities that were owned by the Government, under the responsibility of earlier incarnations of the present Department of Communities (Communities). Many of the Peak Agencies mentioned earlier had a partnering role with the Department in managing these facilities, but some were entirely in Government hands. Again, this section serves only to list the facilities. More information about their history can be found in the section, “List of Facilities”. Where the facility has also been attached to a Non-Government agency, its listing here is italicized.

In addition to information about facilities, Signposts separately lists an outline of the records and indexes that the Department holds – many of which were inherited from other organisations, or earlier versions of what is now Communities.
