THE Commonwealth government has reappointed Adam Copp as the chief executive of Infrastructure Australia (IA) for a further three-year term.
Mr Copp has served as the IA CEO since July 2023, leading the organisation through what the government said was “a period of change”, including cementing a new strategy after the amendments to the IA Act.
Prior to his appointment as CEO, he held several senior roles at IA, including chief operating officer.
The government has highlighted Mr Copp’s qualifications including his Master of Global Law from the University of Sydney and Master of Business Administration from the University of New South Wales.
He also currently serves as a director for the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council.
“His reappointment will ensure stability and continuity in the senior leadership of IA, delivering independent evidence-based advice on infrastructure projects that supports the economy and builds the nation,” said federal infrastructure minister Catherine King.
“I congratulate him on his reappointment and look forward to his continued work through Infrastructure Australia.”
Infrastructure Australia is the Australian government’s independent advisor on nationally significant transport, water, energy, communications and social infrastructure investment planning and project prioritisation.
Its work involves evaluating nationally significant infrastructure proposals or proposals that are seeking investment from the Australian government of $250 million or more and developing research and advice to support better infrastructure decision-making.
Facilitating the movement of Australian freight is an important part of its work across road and rail.
