Peter lead the Project Control Group overseeing the Services, Operations, Works and Communications project teams with reporting responsibilities to the Project Steering Committee comprising Transport for NSW, City of Sydney, CBD Coordinator General, Main Roads and the NSW Secretary for Transport. The CBD Bus Plan project was arguably the most complex and high profile change to bus services to occur in Australia. The successful implementation of the new CBD Bus Plan took place in October 2015 under enormous scrutiny from Government, media, customers and the public. Successive adjustments to the CBD Bus Plan and changes to the bus network to Sydney’s south east have enabled construction of the Sydney Light Rail project to continue on track, with light rail services due to commence in 2019.Peter concluded this secondment in June 2015.
