It is a name.
Another sample ..

Ok on the Dept/Commission thing.. must be a historic thing .. found on 
the web.

This http://www.crownland.nsw.gov.au/crown_lands/western_region
says "In these areas, which include the villages of Silverton, 
Tibooburra, and Milparinka, the Department of Industry - Lands (the 
Department) assists in co-ordinating various community services."
I do wonder if that is current ... copyright says 2010.

So rather than the whole NSW Government .. it could be the NSW 
Department of Industry - Lands.

Some names are descriptive, and we are the better for it. Tibooburra for 
instance.
