FORMER Liberal premier Nick Greiner is stepping down as the chairman of Infrastructure NSW (iNSW), along with the organisation's CEO Paul Broad.

Mr Broad will take over as CEO of Snowy Hydro, Premier Barry O'Farrell told question time in parliament on Thursday.

"It's terrific to know in his new role that Paul's skills will not be lost to government," he said.

The resignations mark a new era for Infrastructure NSW as it moves from formulating a state infrastructure strategy to advising government on delivering the projects, the premier said.

He lauded the organisation's first two years as "nothing short of a success".

"It has developed a blueprint which has received broad community support and which the government is implementing."

Mr Greiner will step down at a July board meeting and Mr O'Farrell says he will propose to cabinet that former head of the Business Council of Australia, Graham Bradley AM, becomes the next chair.

He's also been chairman of HSBC Australia and a member of its Hong Kong Board, and is a former managing director of Perpetual.

Mr O'Farrell thanked Mr Greiner for all his work.

"Given the huge challenges we inherited, developing a future, long-term infrastructure plan was never going to be easy, but Nick's strategic thinking - supported by the board and CEO Paul Broad - ensured that goal was achieved."

Jim Betts, the former Victorian Secretary of Transport has been appointed as interim CEO of iNSW.

No regrets Nick.  Some might be pleased to see you go ...

Best of British understatement there.
