Dear IFRTT Forum subscriber
It with great sadness that I must inform you of the passing away last
week of Nick Dimopoulos, Chief Executive of the Australian National
Transport Commission and an IFRTT Board member for the past three years.
Nick was also Chairman of the Organising Committee of HVTT11 in
Melbourne in 2010, which was a great success. He was very supportive of
the IFRTT and the HVTT conferences, and even offered to host the HVTT13
conference once again in Australia in 2014, should no other suitable
venue elsewhere in the world be found. His contribution to, and support
of, the IFRTT will be sadly missed. On behalf of the IFRTT, we offer
our sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends at this
sad and difficult time.
Paul Nordengen
IFRTT President

Subject: Passing of Nick Dimopoulos, Chief Executive of the National
Transport Commission
It is with great sadness that the National Transport Commission (NTC)
advises of the passing of our Chief Executive Nick Dimopoulos.
Nick passed away on 8 February 2013, surrounded by his family.
The Commissioners and staff of the NTC honour Nick’s tremendous
contribution to our organisation and the Australian transport industry.
Nick was a visionary, a tireless champion for transport reform and a
proud father and husband.
Nick’s positive influence on the NTC and the transport industry
generally will be felt for years to come.
In lieu of flowers, Nick’s family have requested donations to the
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.
George Konstandakos will continue in the interim as our Acting Chief
Executive.
