Australia’s National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has confirmed a change in leadership.
NHVR Chair, the Hon. Duncan Gay AM, has announced the appointment of Nicole Rosie as CEO.
Gay said Rosie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and is looking forward to officially welcoming her to the NHVR on 30 June 2025.
“I am pleased to announce Ms Rosie was selected as the new NHVR CEO following an extensive and rigorous recruitment process,” said Gay.
“With over 20 years of leadership experience in both the public and private sectors, most recently Ms Rosie was the CEO at New Zealand Transport Agency following her role as CEO of WorkSafe New Zealand. Nicole has also held senior executive roles at Fonterra, KiwiRail, Vector and Toll NZ.
“Ms Rosie’s strong background in governance, law and public policy, combined with a deep understanding of transport and infrastructure, made her the ideal candidate to lead the NHVR into its next chapter of harmonisation and innovation.”
Gay also extends a sincere thank you to Interim CEO, Janelle van de Velde.
“I would like to thank Janelle for her outstanding leadership during this transition period and for ensuring business continuity following former CEO Sal Petroccitto OAM’s departure in January,” said Gay.
