The NSW Government has announced the appointment of Tom Gellibrand as the new chief executive of Infrastructure NSW.
Mr Gellibrand succeeds current board member Janine Lonergan who has been acting in the role since February, and Simon Draper who was Chief Executive from 2019 until February 2023.
In announcing the decision, State Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said Mr Gellibrand brings significant experience in leading organisations, across planning, transport, built infrastructure and professional services.
“His appointment sets up NSW for success in making the right decisions on infrastructure projects, which will provide enormous benefits for the people of this state,” he said.
Mr Gellibrand has over 25 years’ experience in strategic urban, transport and infrastructure planning and delivery at the state and local government levels.
He was most recently the head of projects at Infrastructure NSW and previously held several senior executive roles, including acting chief executive of Sydney Metro, deputy program director at Sydney Metro, deputy project director of North West Rail Link, and deputy director general at the NSW Department of Planning.
“This is an exciting time for Infrastructure NSW as we continue delivering a sustainable infrastructure legacy for our state,” Mr Gellibrand said.
“It’s a privilege to lead the organisation and support the government in addressing the challenging fiscal environment, transforming our electricity system and building more diverse and affordable places for people to live.”
Infrastructure NSW was established in 2011 to provide independent advice to the NSW Government on identifying and prioritising critical public infrastructure through expert advice, priority project delivery, oversight of the state’s infrastructure pipeline and precinct delivery.
