Mr Northey has lived and worked across regional Victoria for decades, including senior engineering roles at Barwon Water and Coliban Water.
He has been appointed chief regional roads officer at VicRoad’s Regional Roads Victoria.
“I’m looking forward to visiting communities across the state to talk about Regional Roads Victoria, and to learn more about their priorities as we upgrade the regional road network,” Mr Northey said.
As the head of Regional Roads Victoria, Mr Northey will oversee a $941 million state government investment in country roads.
There is more than 1000 kilometres of road to be repaired, resurfaced or rebuilt across country Victoria this year, according to the state government.
Regional Roads Victoria will be a division of VicRoads, based in Ballarat. It will have a presence in regional centres across the state and will coordinate road maintenance.
