Victorian Premier, Ben Carroll, has announced the appointment of Fiona Adamson as the Secretary of the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP).
Ms Adamson is currently the Deputy Secretary of Transport Services for DTP. Previously, she has held key executive roles within Public Transport Victoria and Transport for Victoria, leveraging a 15-year commercial background at Foxtel in customer operations and management.
The Premier said Ms Adamson will start as Secretary of DTP on 28 August and will play a critical role in advising and supporting the Government to deliver the ongoing transformation of the transport network, Victoria’s integrated transport, planning, and housing portfolio to manage daily network operations, deliver generational projects and drive critical development reforms.
“I congratulate Fiona Adamson on her appointment. She brings substantial knowledge of the transport sector and her leadership will be important as DTP continues to manage Victoria’s transport network, deliver generational infrastructure projects and drive critical planning, housing and development reforms,” he said.
“I want to acknowledge Jeroen Weimar’s contribution to DTP and across the Victorian public service, including throughout the pandemic, and wish him well for the future.”
The Premier thanked outgoing DTP Secretary, Jeroen Weimar, for his contribution to the Victorian public service.
Mr Weimar commenced as Secretary of the Department of Transport and Planning in January.
