New head for Planning and Infrastructure Department

25/6/02
Mr Greg Martin has been appointed Director General of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and will commence in that position on July 29.
Planning and Infrastructure Minister Alannah MacTiernan said Mr Martin was an outstanding administrator, who would bring to the position valuable experience in overseeing organisational change.
"As commissioner since 1999, Mr Martin has seen Main Roads become a more open and community focussed organisation," Ms MacTiernan said.
"He has also worked to strengthen its professional and managerial capacities and implemented a program of recruitment of young technical and professional staff to address the agency's ageing staff profile.
"Greg has now accepted the challenge of completing the integration of the State Government's land use and transport planning and regulating functions in the Department for Planning and Infrastructure."
Ms MacTiernan thanked Mr Mike Harris for his significant contribution while acting as Director General of the Department since July 2001.
