PTA Annual Report / Chief Executive Officer’s Overview 5 The integrated transport solution for Perth Stadium will be no different with rail, bus, pedestrian and road projects underway to ensure the safe and efficient movement of patrons to and from the new Stadium when it opens in early 2018. As my first year as Chief Executive Officer comes to a close, it is clear that this is an exciting time for the Agency and our portfolio partners. There are many planned projects and innovative changes that will provide significant benefits to WA communities and the State’s economy over the coming years. It is a privilege to lead such an organisation and have the opportunity to showcase some of the Agency’s achievements over the past 12 months. I look forward to what I’m sure will be another productive year for transport in Western Australia in 2017-18.
