Anthony Wing has been appointed as Chair of the NSW Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) for a five-year term from 1 July.
Premier Chris Minns said Mr Wing brings significant regulatory and public sector experience to the role.
“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,” said the Premier.
Mr Wing has 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, said Premier Minns.
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.
“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,” he said.
