Brett Newman, currently the CEO of the City of Parramatta, will begin his new role as CEO of NSW Land Registry Services (LRS) in November.
His appointment follows the announced departure of CEO Adam Bennett, who has been with NSW LRS since 2018.
“We’re delighted to have someone of Brett’s calibre and expertise lead our team at NSW Land Registry Services; his deep understanding of the property sector will continue to deliver strategic benefits for industry in NSW,” said Chairman of the Australian Registry Investments Board, Andrew Dutton.
“We would like to recognise the outstanding contribution our departing CEO, Adam Bennett, has made to the people, operations and transformation of our organisation since joining in 2018,” Dutton added.
“Adam has successfully overseen significant digital transformation initiatives that improve customer and industry experience in NSW.”
Dutton pointed to successful initiatives undertaken during Bennett’s time at the helm of NSW LRS, such as the delivery of 100% eConveyancing, increasing customer satisfaction from 51% to 77%, and ratification of its first Reconciliation Action Plan.
