The Queensland Government has appointed Graeme Newton as the permanent Cross River Rail Delivery Authority CEO following an international recruitment search.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Jackie Trad said he was the right man for the job.
“Graeme Newton is an outstanding appointment – he has more than 25 years’ experience in the infrastructure sector and has delivered large-scale and complex infrastructure projects in both the public and private sector,” said Deputy Premier and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Jackie Trad.
“Next Wednesday, an industry briefing will be held in Brisbane to provide construction and engineering companies with information about the procurement process for Cross River Rail’s delivery,” she said.
The industry briefing will outline the procurement approach, details of major work packages, delivery strategy, commercial considerations and governance.
It will be held at the Pullman Hotel, King George Square, Brisbane from 2:00pm, Wednesday 30 August 2017.
Formal Expressions of Interest for the $5.4 billion project open in September.
