Sunbury MP Josh Bull will become parliamentary secretary for infrastructure delivery.
Mr Bull will take in both transport and health infrastructure to support Transport Infrastructure Minister Danny Pearson and Health Infrastructure Minster Mary-Anne Thomas, as they work with the newly-created Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority.
The authority is responsible for major infrastructure projects, such as North East Link, the Metro Tunnel, level crossing removals, and several new hospitals.
It consists of four project offices – the Level Crossing Removal Project, Major Road Projects Victoria, the Metro Tunnel Project, and the Victorian Health Building Authority.
In a Facebook post, Mr Bull said he was “delighted” to be appointed to the role.
“I want to thank each and every worker involved in this big team and I look forward to working with you all as we deliver the projects we need now and into the future,” he said.
In another post, Mr Bull forecasted a “massive winter of infrastructure delivery ahead of us.”
Mr Bull has been the state Labor member for Sunbury since November 2014.
