GHD has boosted its capacity in transport economics and policy with three new strategic appointments.

Steve Kanowski, a transport economist with 25 years experience in Australia and overseas has joined GHD. Mr Kanowski, who is based in Brisbane, was previously responsible for transport economics at Booz and Co’s Australasian transport practice, a position he took up after establishing Booz and Co’s Irish operations in 2001. 

Steve will lead the 30-person GHD Meyrick business with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong and Canberra. Steve brings a wealth of experience advising clients in the rail, aviation and public transport sectors.

Phil Potterton, formerly the Executive Director of the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics, also joins GHD after a 30-year career in the public sector. Phil brings significant experience in project evaluation, policy formulation and regulatory issues in the transport sector. He will be based in Canberra and will manage the GHD Meyrick team there.

David Rolland, a former general manager with the National Transport Commission has relocated from GHD’S Darwin office to assume the role of manager of the GHD Meyrick team in Melbourne.

Steve Meyrick, who headed Meyrick & Associates until its merger with GHD in 2008, has been appointed to the new role of Business Leader, Transportation Economics and Logistics, and will oversee the direction, development and work of GHD’s business in this sector.

“We are excited to welcome Steve and Phil to our team. Their extensive knowledge of the sector and track record in public and private infrastructure will be a valuable addition to GHD’s capability,” Mr Meyrick said.

“The expansion of the GHD Meyrick team positions us to service our clients more effectively in the transport economics and policy arena.”
