Chief Executive of Sydney Metro, Peter Regan, has stepped down after 15 years of public service to take up a new opportunity outside of government.
Mr Regan has worked in senior roles at NSW Treasury and was on the executive of Transport for NSW before joining Sydney Metro.
Head of Customer, Operations and Project Sponsorship Hugh Lawson, who led the highly successful construction of Sydney Metro City, will act in the role of Chief Executive effective immediately.
The Sydney Metro Board will commence recruitment for a permanent leader shortly.
Minister for Transport John Graham said:
"I want to thank Peter for his dedication to Sydney Metro, its people, the safety of the workforce and the unique role the metro system now plays in the city's public transport network.
"Under his leadership, Sydney Metro has been delivering city-shaping infrastructure that will enhance Sydney for generations to come.
"On behalf of the NSW Government I wish Peter the best and thank him for his leadership."
