Following three years of service Dr Jon Lamonte will step down from the Chief Executive role at Sydney Metro.
Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance announced the change in late February.
The Board of Sydney Metro has been notified, Dr Lamonte will be moving overseas for an alternate career path.
“Dr Lamonte has had an important role over the past 2.5 years stewarding the NSW Government’s Sydney Metro program – the largest public transport program in Australia,” Constance said.
The Minister thanked Dr Lamonte for his service to the people of NSW.
“With the Metro North West Line opening in 2019, Sydney Metro City and Southwest due to open in 2024 and construction of Sydney Metro West and Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport commencing last year, Dr Lamonte has left an indelible mark on Greater Sydney. For that, I say thank you,” Constance said.
Deputy Chief Executive of Sydney Metro, Rebecca McPhee will take over as Acting Chief Executive following Dr Lamonte’s departure – before a new leader is appointed.
