Inland Rail chief executive officer Nick Miller has stepped down from his role at the top of the infrastructure project, switching gears to take over as CEO at construction company John Holland.
Joining the project back in 2023, Miller helped to establish the company as a subsidiary of Australian Rail Track Corporation, in line with one of the recommendations of the independent review of Inland Rail.
He also assisted in progressing construction for every section between Beveridge and Parkes by mid-2025, with several key environmental approvals for NSW projects secured under his tenure.
Mike Zambelli has been named as the temporary successor to the CEO role, with work to appoint a replacement to begin shortly.
Zambelli has been COO at Inland Rail for 15 months and prior to this was the group executive for the Major Construction Projects group in ARTC for three years.
“The Board, Executive, and Inland Rail staff are strongly focused on continuing the delivery of the project and building on the strong momentum that has been created over the past 18 months,” an Inland Rail statement reads.
