The National Transport Commission (NTC) has announced a new chief executive officer and commissioner.
Dr Gillian Miles was on Thursday named as the new CEO and commissioner of the NTC, replacing acting CEO Dr Geoff Allan, who has served in the role since Paul Retter left in late 2018. Miles, formerly a senior executive in the Victorian Government, will start next week.
NTC chair Carolyn Walsh said Miles’ appointment came at an important time, with the NTC undertaking a number of significant reforms in land transport.
“Innovation, change management and a strategic mindset were front of mind for this appointment,” Walsh said, “particularly as the NTC continues to make major progress on several landmark transport reforms.
“I’m confident that Gillian’s wealth of knowledge and experience is well suited to leading the NTC through a period of significant change across the land transport sector.”
The NTC is an independent statutory body focused on national transport policy objectives, and their development through regulatory and operational reform. Its scope includes the road, rail and intermodal sectors.
