Minister for Water, Property and Housing Melinda Pavey announced the appointment of Grant King as Chair of Sydney Water Corporation, replacing outgoing Chair Bruce Morgan.
Mr Morgan will step down on 30 September, having held the position since 2013, with Mr King taking over from 1 October.
Mr King was previously the Non-executive Director for Sydney Water, with more than 30 years of executive management experience in the Australian energy industry and a broad swathe of knowledge of the utilities industry.
He most recently served as MD and CEO of Origin Energy and as the former President of the Business Council of Australia.
Mr King said he was pleased to be taking on the role during such a pivotal time in greater Sydney’s history.
“Bruce has made a significant contribution to Sydney Water over the past decade and in that time helped to successfully steer the business and indeed Greater Sydney, through successive droughts, floods and more recently Covid,” Mr King said.
“Sydney Water has a key role to play in the future development of Greater Sydney, particularly in terms of resilience and liveability.
“I’m delighted to carry on Bruce’s legacy and look forward to working with the Board and the highly committed people of Sydney Water to create a better life for the people of Greater Sydney,” he said.
