RETIREMENT OF FORMER NSW PREMIER DOMINIC PERROTTET
Announcement by Mark Speakman
Leader of the NSW Opposition
Today the Member for Epping, the Hon Dominic Perrottet MP, has announced his retirement from the NSW Parliament after a distinguished 13-year political career.
Dominic has dedicated over 13 years to improving New South Wales, making major contributions as Minister for Finance, Services and Property, Treasurer, Leader of the NSW Parliamentary Liberal Party and Premier.
He has left an indelible mark on our State.
He was reformer who had a passion for new ideas and imagination for what would make NSW a better place for all. He delivered five budgets with strong surpluses and record infrastructure investment, pivotal in the asset recycling agenda and establishing the NSW Generations Fund, Australia’s first sub-national sovereign debt retirement future fund, now valued at over $17 billion.

He helped drive the largest infrastructure program in NSW since Federation, including key projects like the Northwest Metro, Sydney Metro, WestConnex, and unprecedented hospital and school upgrades, along with the new Sydney Football Stadium and Art Gallery expansion.
He helped guide us through the pandemic, championed reopening NSW, created financial support packages for families and small businesses, and swiftly opened international borders with the rest of Australia following, demonstrating his decisive leadership.
His retirement marks the end of a career defined by visionary leadership and unwavering dedication to the people of NSW. His contributions to financial management, infrastructure, and family support have set a high standard for future leaders.
His legacy is one of remarkable achievements and steadfast leadership. His vision and reforms have helped to transformed NSW, setting the stage for continued growth and prosperity.
I thank Dom for his tireless service and wish him all the best with his new role. I also wish Helen, Charlotte, Annabelle, Amelia, Harriet, Beatrice, William and Celeste all the best as they adjust to Dom and life after politics!
