Rory Brennan

Rory joined Infrastructure Australia in August 2008 shortly after its establishment. He was seconded from Sydney Water to assist in pursuing Infrastructure Australia's three priorities: the infrastructure audit, the infrastructure priority list and the development of National Public Private Partnership Policy and Guidelines. Rory has subsequently taken a permanent position in Infrastructure Australia as Executive Director, Infrastructure Investment. Rory is part of the Infrastructure Australia team developing priorities for National infrastructure reform and investment, with a particular focus on the water and energy sectors. He has specific responsibility for helping to ensure PPPs continue to play a key role in infrastructure delivery in Australia - and is working with the Commonwealth, State and Territory governments and the private sector to that end.

Rory has extensive experience in infrastructure delivery, ranging from Australia's purchase of frigates from the US Navy to Sydney's Desalination Plant and its supply of renewable energy. He has experience in most modes of infrastructure contracting, including PPPs, design, build, operate and maintain, design and construct and alliances. Rory holds a Bachelor of Arts from the Australian National University in Canberra and a Masters of Business Administration from the Australia Graduate School of Management at the University of New South Wales.
