The NSW Government has today announced Anthony Wing as the state’s next Point to Point Transport Commissioner.
Anthony, who brings significant experience to the role having previously worked within TfNSW’s Transport Policy Branch, joins from the Department of Premier & Cabinet and will replace the current Commissioner Barbara Wise from 1 July.
The Point to Point Transport Commission, established under Barbara’s leadership in 2016, administers and enforces legislation relating to taxis, hire vehicles and ride share. Its remit includes managing licensing schemes, administering the passenger service levy and enforcing and recommending safety standards for the point to point industry to ensure safer services for people across NSW.
Anthony was previously a General Manager in the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, responsible for customer prices and cost-of-living, as well as transport competition and access.
As Commissioner, Anthony will be responsible for the provision of safe and reliable point to point services for the people of NSW.
Barbara Wise will continue to make a significant contribution to Transport for NSW in the new Regional and Outer Metropolitan division assessing the effectiveness of current services, contracts and performance across regional buses, on demand services and community transport.
This will ensure they are future focussed, fit for purpose, and meet the need of our regional communities.
A media release on the appointment of the new Point to Point Transport Commissioner is available on the Transport for NSW website.
