The NSW Government has appointed Mr. Anthony Wing as Chairperson and permanent member of the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) for a five-year term, commencing on 1 July 2026.
Mr Wing is a respected regulator with deep policy expertise, and a proven ability to deliver complex reforms.
He brings more than two decades of expertise in central policy areas and independent regulators at both a State and Federal level, most recently in his role as the Commissioner, NSW Point-to-Point Transport Commission.
The IPART is an independent statutory authority that sets prices and oversees key regulatory functions for essential services in NSW.
IPART works to ensure households and businesses receive safe and reliable services at fair prices. This includes pricing determinations, compliance and monitoring, licensing, and regulatory advice across sectors including water, energy and transport.
The appointment follows a merit‑based comparative assessment process conducted by a panel comprising The Cabinet Office Secretary, the Treasury Secretary and the NSW Ombudsman.
Outgoing Chair Carmel Donnelly PSM concludes her term having provided leadership to the Tribunal during a period of significant change across a range of essential services and regulatory functions.
During her five-year term, IPART delivered major pricing and regulatory determinations across sectors including energy, water, local government, and also expanded its remit by delivering reviews of early childhood education and out-of-home care pricing.
More information on the important work of IPART is available online at www.ipart.nsw.gov.au.
Premier Chris Minns said:
"Anthony Wing brings significant regulatory and public sector experience to this role and I congratulate him on his appointment."
"His experience leading the NSW Point-to-Point Transport Commission and working across a range of policy areas will serve IPART well as it continues its important work.
"I thank Carmel Donnelly PSM for her service as Chairperson over the past five years and acknowledge her contribution to the Tribunal and the people of NSW."
