Not known.  There appears to have been no direct successor to the agency's functions, although one might assume that some work was done by the Executive Department (AAGK) and some by the Roads and Works Department (AAHJ).  The custodial history of the surviving archives is not clear, so it is also not possible to trace the successor agencies in terms of holding the records.



Responsible Minister

Secretary for Public Works 1863-1865



Notes

Secretary for Public Works:
Henry John Miller    31 August 1863 - 15 September 1863
George Duncan    15 September 1863 - 25 April 1864
Frederick Joseph Moss    25 April 1864 - 17 May 1864
Henry John Miller    17 May 1864 - 18 April 1865
Frederick Joseph Moss    18 April 1865 - 20 December 1865 (+ P Treas)

- the combination of the positions of Provincial Treasurer and Secretary for Works may have been the reason for the disestablishment of the agency; entries in series 730 (the latest holdings from this agency) cease in May 1865.
