The Greater Sydney Commission is looking for Chief Executive Officer

The Greater Sydney Commission is the independent strategic planning and city making authority for Greater Sydney. The Commission is positioned at the centre of Government and reports directly to the NSW Premier.

The Commission has prepared the long-term vision for Greater Sydney – A Metropolis of Three Cities and five District Plans. It is now focusing on bringing this vision to life with an emphasis on driving the city’s economic and social recovery from COVID-19 and achieving a more resilient Greater Sydney.

The Premier has asked the Commission to lead the accelerated delivery of four key economic and innovation precincts across Greater Sydney with a focus on job creation now and into the future. These are Central to Eveleigh Technology, Westmead Innovation, Macquarie Park Innovation and Meadowbank Education and Employment Precincts.

The Commission is also analysing data to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on Greater Sydney and how it may be possible to recalibrate Greater Sydney’s strategic plans to mitigate negative impacts and identify opportunities to accelerate implementation of the three cities vision.
