NSW puts RMS into transport mega-department

Three other agencies remain unchanged under Constance’s watch

 

New South Wales, the country’s pivotal state for freight transport, has revealed its new departmental approach to the industry.

With Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to be subsumed into Transport for NSW from July 1, senior transport and roads minister Andrew Constance will have overall responsibility, supported by Paul Toole on related regional issues.

Their top bureaucrat, transport secretary Rodd Staples, reveals that new divisions will be established and the Freight, Strategy and Planning Division and as part of it, the Freight Industry Branch, will be integrated into this new model or structure.

More detail on that process will be revealed “in due course”, the department says.

However, there are no changes to the NSW Port Authority, Office of Transport Safety Investigation and the NSW Point to Point Transport Commission.
