He was previously a director at Deloitte Australia in the Turnaround and Restructuring team and is currently Chair of The District Nurses, as well as High Risk Work Solutions, a training provider owned by Master Builders Tasmania.

“I want to extend my congratulations to Tim Booker on his appointment as a non-executive director of Metro Tasmania for the next three years,” transport minister Eric Abetz says.

“Mr Booker replaces Yvonne Rundle on the Board, who has served as a non-executive director of Metro for six years, as Deputy Chair and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.

“I sincerely thank Ms Rundle for her careful diligence of overseeing Metro’s financial management practices and risk management program, as well as her broader contribution and leadership.

“The future for Metro is bright, as Tasmanians continue to benefit from half-price public transport and real-time bus tracking right around the corner.

“Metro is a key component to the success of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future and I look forward to continuing our good work in partnership with Mr Booker.”

Jane Sargison was appointed for a further three-year term after completing her first one-year term and Tony Braxton-Smith was re-appointed as Chair for a further 12-month term.
